Today we’re celebrating 4 years of Splatoon Stronghold! It’s crazy how fast time has flown by and how much we’ve grown since 2022. We couldn’t have done it without you all, so to show our appreciation, our Head Artist @elibvn.bsky.social has created some Cas wallpapers for the community!

It's time to tell you the truth. SSC has been dead for a long time. Let's talk. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Worth noting that if the apology for the gem situation involves trading which person is “the bad one,” it’s not really growth. It’s saying “I’m sorry I picked the wrong team”

If you are celebrating violence, take a moment to think of whether you still have the moral high ground. Even if you despise them, you can still be the better person and recognize that loss of life is never cause for celebration.

Now that I’m back from #riptide2025 and my TL is full of LAN sentiments, I decided to add my own piece. As both a writer and a sentimental person, I can’t speak with brevity about how much this first LAN experience meant to me, and the amount of thanks I have for everyone there. (Thread 1/8 🧵)

+4 NA Open League, >2400xp, no backline. Dm saminospl on Discord if interested.

The community involvement in the Splatoon NA League is absolutely the biggest breakthrough of this whole event. It shows that Nintendo NA is in fact invested in everything we have done and that they are still all-in on our "little" esports scene here. This feels like a decade in the making.

Did you miss the bracket yesterday? Well, check it out on a site thats got all the info about it! liquipedia.net/splatoon/Sen... S/o to @glumbaron.bsky.social for helping put it all up

hi good mornkng splatoon three observer / spec cam guide youtu.be/ikExEUyfAUI feel free to reply questions here or DM me, I'm not an incredible speaker so I may not have been the clearest requested by @ckk312.xyz #compsplatoon

Fall 2025 has big events in store for Splatoon 3 as it nears its 3rd anniversary. Riptide, New InkLAN #5, SuperJump 6, and when to expect news from Nintendo on the Splatoon 3 NA League are in store! Check out, here: www.splatoonstronghold.com/news/upcomin...

Riptide getting ~500 attendees is blowing my mind. Those are numbers that attract eyes, if you actively push in the right places. Not just the “oh this is a fun little game I’ll ‘sponsor’ a team”, but the peripheral companies and the energy drink teams, looking for opportunities. A #compsplatoon 🧵

When you, as a victim SSC was attempting to help, perpetuated lies and vitriol so only YOU could speak on the matter — under the threat of legal enforcements and public backlash — they have every right to disprove their claims (like how YOU did the same). You are the exception, not the good kind.

you may ask: why does my stream get shit from a butt for viewership answer: casuals/viewers arent on twitch, other platforms like tiktok are untapped markets that we need to sell to (part of the) solution: stream to multiple places at once!! its free!! obsproject.com/forum/resour... #compsplatoon

I've remained silent on recent discussion, and will probably remain to do so, but If people in this community have the ability to put hours of their time each week to help run it You can put 5 extra minutes to word something mindfully and with nuance Be respectful, we all want the same thing

There's not a single Splatoon TO whos extrinsically motivated to do this, btw. No one is making a living off this, we are not "professionals", we're humans who put our own time, effort, and resources into making this work.

My thoughts on Splat Safety and recent community discussion

Please take the time today to listen to the TO's and other community leaders who are speaking about their experiences today, there have been many times their voices do not get the attention and respect they deserve and we have lost too many people good people already, I'd like to not lose more.

All of this because the community trusted an incomplete story and so much hate was generated that someone decided an appropriate response would be to commit crimes. SSC isn't perfect, IPL isn't perfect, I'm not perfect, nobody is perfect. But we all genuinely try to do the right thing.

I might just stop TOing after I'm done with my upcoming responsibilities. The players act like we get paid to be here and don't thank us basically ever when we work at least 3 hours (often more) every edition to give you a fun, fair, and safe tournament experience to the BEST OF OUR ABILITY. (1/3)

Regardless of personal feelings, SSC has always been something I really took pride in our community having Their investigations seemed to take more time due to how thorough they were- which made me feel much better about them I remember how devastating the hack was and how some were overjoyed

very confused by the response im seeing to this -allegations come out -splat safety says “we arent gonna make a statement yet cause theres an ongoing legal situation” -everyone gets mad -splat safety makes a statement -everyone gets mad at splat safety cause theres an ongoing legal situation ???

When this happened, there was so much panic behind the scenes that never saw the public eye. Many TOs no longer felt safe running their events, knowing that there was intentional harm done to try and attack the SSC, that does all of its volunteer work to help in keeping the scene safer, and TOs.

Thank you for taking the time to articulate your thoughts with extensive nuance and perspective, for the sake of explaining your side of a tense, confusing, and extremely publicized occurrence in our community in pursuit of furthering the purpose of safety to the community.

Worth noting that splatsafety was doxxed and the resulting doxx was circulated as a result of this case. The backlash against splatsafety is conveniently memory holed now but it was intense and quite serious.

We as a community need to have real dialogue about what exactly safety looks like and how to achieve it in a way that still has a baseline of unbiased and through review to ensure integrity for both those who report their cases and the accused in those cases Whether or not you agree with the video

not to be sub tweety or anything... but...

Eliter won area cup!

Shouldn't divs estimate a teams skill level, and not you as an individual player? I think X power should be the way to determine your own skill level because it shows that you can work well with other people, despite the lack of communication with your teammates (from someone new to #compsplatoon)

euphoric is the only way to describe the music from the f1 movie

Got this out and it's enhanced by the current relevance of discussions around growing the scene and developing player skill. Let's turn discussions into actual change that we want to see! Why Splatoon Needs Good Analysts and Coaches 🔗Link: youtu.be/3AvR2tER7I0?...

All right the jig is up. No more procrastinating. It's time you knew the truth... About our Tournament Ranking System :) We've been hard at work with this system and have a bunch of tournaments ranked under this system. Here's how it works!

For those who don't know, FB and Insta have a practice where if your account is deemed to be "in violation of their conditions", they'll ask you to submit ID for "verification" that ur not a bot. Needless to say, they abuse this feature to collect more information. Stop YouTube from doing it too.
