The grammar on most parts of the Newsletter were okay, you covered most of the important happenings, condensed NL is good as always, I like the icon(s) for Competition Section.

If you want other negative judgements, Weekly Tournaments has an excessive amount of smileys. Card Idea of the Month is an extremely shallow review. Lacks some information in PvP Events and Forum Games. Could expand on War. Given that CIA is now doing those competitions - which I disagree with entirely, but that's a different thing - you could and most likely should add mentions of these onto Newsletter. You can place them together with "Competitions" or create a "Miscellanea" column, I don't mind/care. Also, the places where the grammar is not okay are obviously, not okay.

I think it's a wonderful effort for a first time NL writer considering your age.
However, we shouldn't consider your age because the quality of the work has nothing to do with the age of the worker.
I still think it's a brilliant first attempt.

Once Dm moved on to constructive criticism, his points are valid, however. When writing for the NL, imagine yourself as a journalist, not just telling a story as you yourself would tell it in chat or something. It's wonderful to read your personality so strongly, but certain parts (smileys and grammar mostly) just need double checking. Copy the text into word or something and confirm the spelling / grammar.

Honestly, though, those are tiny things in the grand scheme of things, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable read. You, and those who helped, have done extremely well, and I look forward to seeing you develop as a writer. Also, the people giving you criticism aren't hating, they just want to see you be the best NL writer you can be. Accepting and working on criticism is an important part of developing in any job/role/task :D

Gif for new members: best thing ever. I also quite like Discord's War feature (if a bit rushed) this is a place you can really let your personality as a writer shine :)
