Spla2npals

#spla2npals is a channel that was created on July 6th, 2017, following the Splatoon 2 Direct. It's one of the few instances where a game had a channel created for it before it officially released. The channel was supposed to about both Splatoon 1 and 2, however due to not many people in Pokepals owning the original Splatoon and Splatoon 2 vastly overshadowing it, it was changed to be predominantly about Splatoon 2.

## Active Members

Donovan - Server owner and creator of the channel, doesn't play as much as he did when the game first came out due to a "crippling Sonic Mania addiction" and generally being pretty bad at the game.

Alex - One of the most active members, reports on Splatoon news as soon as it's released, a fan of the Hydra Splatling and often loses Splatfests, being very vocal about it in channels outside of spla2pals (See:general chats)

Anttie - Has recently picked up the game, and has been an active player since.

Grexius - Another very active player. Expect trash talk if you're not Profreshional rank in Salmon Run.

Sjoerd - Likes all game modes. He used to hate Clam Blitz, but doesn't dislike it any more.

## Splatfests

Splatfest is a special mode where players choose one of two teams and battles the other to prove theirs is better. Alex does not have the best track record with this, and gets particularly salty when she loses.

Pokepals keeps track of Splatfest choices with special roles anyone can give themselves.
