It's Rewind Time!

Howdy y'all. 2018 has come to an end, and what a year it's been. Today I'm going to look back at all the things that have happened this year in the world of South Park and South Park Archives.

New Season
As usual, we had a new season this year, only 10 episodes. This season brought back many old characters, from Mr. Hankey to Towelie, and even Ned, who had his first speaking role in 17 years! Kenny got big roles this year too, which was great!

The season also returned to old storylines, from Catholic priests to big corporations. One noticeable storyline was the ManBearPig storyline, in which they apologized for mocking Al Gore back in Season 10.

While it consisted of mostly standalone episodes, it still had some continuity to it. Randy and his family moved onto a weed farm and, with the help of Towelie, Amazon and a little bit of tegridy, got the whole town high. PC Principal and Strong Woman continued their relationship with the introduction of the PC Babies, Cartman got anxiety and Mr.Hankey was kicked out of town.

Fractured but Whole DLCs
This year The Fractured But Whole got two new DLCs (I was surprised that it was only this year too).

From Dusk till Casa Bonita allowed the New Kid to explore Casa Bonita with Mysterion, the Coon and Henrietta as a new buddy. The plot involved saving Karen (Kenny's sister) from the lame vamp kids.

Bring the Crunch finally introduced Mint Berry Crunch as a buddy as the New Kid, Mint Berry Crunch, Fastpass and Professor Chaos try to save Lake Tardicaca from monsters. This also introduced the Final Girl class, which is possibly the most OP class in the game.

Phone Destroyer Updates
Phone Destroyer frequently has updates to cards, events, etc.

Cards are released infrequently, a lot of the time over the season. Some cards relate to the recent episode (Mackey, Maxi), some are related to a holiday or special event (Santa for Christmas, Bounty Hunter Kyle for the new Star Wars) and some just random (Alien fucking drone).

In spring, friendly fights was released, allowing you to play against people in your team with equal leveled cards.

Later, challenges were released. Like friendly fights, but against random people. And 3 losses and you're out. And cards are maxed, not leveled.

Challenges come in two types. The first type involves the player, the cards or the time being changed in some way so you have to try different decks, e.g. Double assassin health, unusable spells, new kid zap range doubled.

The second type are designer decks, where you are given a deck to play with. Sometimes these decks contain an unreleased card.

South Park Archives
Both the wiki and discord has had a dramatic increase in users which is great. We’re really happy to have all of you here with us.

Admins
Early this year, we had a bit of unfortunate drama with a rogue admin. This caused us to lose 2 great admins, Jackstanbrah and PissCoveredOcelot. They were great admins, they are great friends and I wish the best for them in the future.

But it's not all doom and gloom. This year, we got two new admins with SilasGreaves12 and Technical58CZ as well as a returning one with Cryptar. They are all great admins and we really appreciate them.

New features
FANDOM have released a number of new features this year. Discussions seems to be their go to place, with posts now able to contain polls. Announcements were released, allowing admins to highlight any forum, discussion or blog on the wiki, which we use often. Unfortunately, this meant the end of highlights and soon the end of forums (Rest in peace).

Over on discord, we have had tons of new things, from new users to new channels. We now have a meme channel (for some reason) plus an expansion to the episode live chat channel, making our discord the perfect place to be during episode releases. Join here!

We also have started creating extras pages, for things like characters, costumes, locations and more (see here Bike_Parade/Extras ). We hope soon to expand this to every episode.
