Chronological Order of Events
Founding
The Monthly Report was founded on March 14th of 2024 by mandimcflyyt who stated that he came up with the idea "in writing class", Mandi quickly advertised the new news station and gained 30 members within 3 days. Mandi also started the first wave of nations which were Cascadia, the Philippines and Australia.
Invite Competition
Following chronological order, the first TMR invite competition was announced with the prizes being as followed: 1st place gained one month nitro, with 2nd and 3rd place getting a one month basic nitro plan. The competition ended with The Walking Banks, Princeling7 and Panth_r winning and securing the prizes.
Ownership Changes
When founder Mandi was finally unbanned from the EMC Minecraft server, he decided to step down as owner and give the news station to his head staff Hetansh. Hetansh promptly sold the organization just 3 days later to Epistolarian for a total of 292 EMC gold. Epistolarian got straight to work and added stocks, making TMR a public company, changed the logo due to a lack of copyright over the old logo and put in new place many more new systems. After almost a week of owning TMR Epistolarian yet again sold the company to MasterEWild in its entirety. MasterEWild aimed to buy TMR due to wanting to in his words "wanting to bring it back to its former glory, its meant to be a news station and not a company". After MasterEWild bought TMR he updated the Management Team, adding Panth_r and Capitranfra as well as the founder Mandi, removed stocks, reverted the logo, added a new role and automated things with bots. Over the next couple months, MasterEWild continued to introduce new features like the Community Feed and the role of Media Maker. MasterEWild also kept the TMR's main focus, nation reports going continuing the reports on the Huaxia Union, Vermont and Zealandia and facilitating the start of the reports on ETRA and Sapmi. On August 23rd 2024, MasterEWild announced his resignation as The Monthly Report's Editor in Chief due to being busy with other EMC projects. Because of this, MasterEWild gave TMR to desiredcheese92, the creator of the original TMR logo. With this announcement, MasterEWild also announced the creation of the Executive Management Team, a step above the Management Team and a step below the Editor in Chief serving as the second in command. MasterEWild and Mandi are currently the only members of the Executive Management Team
