MCD Channels

## Metroid Community Discord Channels

As of March 22nd, 2023, the topics and subtopics of the Metroid Community Discord are as follows:

## HIGH COMMAND

### Welcome

A text thread that has most likely existed since the beginning of the server, but was last updated on February 3rd, 2020 by Habreno. This channel exists to welcome new users to the server, and to provide a lot of information about the server. Information includes the important roles found in the server and what they mean, the list of all the channels found in the server, and a "final thoughts" section, which lists additional discord communities that one can join, that are Metroid or Nintendo related.

### Rules

A list of rules all users must abide by. Quite self explanatory.

### News and Updates

As the name implies, this text thread is information on any news or updates regarding primarily Metroid, but can feature Nintendo or even the game industry as a whole, as The Game Awards news has been posted in the past.

## PHAZON DISTRIBUTION

The PHAZON DISTRIBUTION channel contains one channel and one channel only: Get-Roles. This channel, as you guessed it, allows you to get roles by reacting to certain messages.

## Archives

This topic is a list of text channels that used to be in a different topic, such as in discussion or creative, but have since been archived because they are no longer needed or aren't relevant.

* metroid-dread-no-spoilers: When Metroid Dread first was announced, this channel was created for users to talk about the game without any fear of spoilers. It had use after release, if users wanted to talk about the game but hadn't yet played it.
* metroid-dread-spoilers: For users to talk about Metroid Dread and want to discuss spoilers: This channel was relevant before release, because trailers besides the E3 initial trailer were considered spoilers. Metroid users wanted to go into the game "blind", which means without knowing as much as possible about the contents of the game. This channel also had relevancy on release and post release. After the Metroid Dread spoiler rules were lifted, it lost relevancy as users could discuss dread spoilers in any of the channels.
* dread-help: For users who needed help in *Metroid Dread.* When the game first came out, not much was known about the game, and guides weren't yet written, so this place was helpful. As time went on, it lost its relevance.
* metroid-dread-streams: For users who wanted to specifically post their streams of Metroid Dread. When a new game releases, a lot of people usually tend to stream the game.
