==Congratulations==
This month has been packed with stuff happening, from events to crazy achievements. First of all, a big congratulations to the three medalists of the [[Round 47|47th ]] Turf games! The winner was [[User:Loaf |Loaf]] with an amazing score of over 1 million [[points]]. The runners up were [[User:Maqqan |Maqqan]] and [[User:Majoxe|Majoxe ]] with an impressive score of over 550 thousand [[points ]] each.
==One million==
[[User:Loaf |Loaf]] is the first person ever to gather that many points in a single round, and in a four week round for that matter! From rank 0 that would take you up to a whopping rank 38 and still have points left. Currently holder of the rank Turf Count (49), Loaf increased his rank by two levels during the last round by gathering over 35 000 [[points ]] per day! Rumors say that fellow [[Turfer|Turfers ]] met him at his own [[Winner zone|winner zone]], being the last zone he talk took and celebrated with champagne. Give it up for the tireless [[User:Loaf|Loaf]]!
==New rule==
We have had a couple of events during May with these, new rules have been implemented for zone taking. [[Event ]] zones will no longer be counted as unique and will not count as a taken [[Zone|zone ]] in you total taken zones counter. This change is retroactive so you might notice a decrease in unique zones and taken zones in your respective meters.
==Events[[Event]]s==Speaking of events, [[Municipality:Gothenburg|Gothenburg ]] had a Open [[Turf ]] Event with 60 participants. Winner was [[User:Din_Kompis|Din_Kompis ]] (your friend in English). There was even some drama in the event when a fellow [[Turfer|Turfer ]] passed through an open gate to take an event zone. However, on the way out, the gates were closed and due to that, the prize ceremony was slightly postponed in order for the [[Turfer|Turfer ]] to manage to get out and participate in the ceremony. It was also the first event with a successful radio broadcast during the competition. An attempt was made last year during the [[Bonanza:Uppsala 2013|Uppsala Bonanza ]] but server problems arose and the link did not work for most people. Hopefully, the success in [[Municipality:Gothenburg|Gothenburg ]] will be a recurring phenomena with many talented hosts, exciting live interviews and good music!
There was a [[Turf ]] Closed [[Event ]] in Oskarshamn with 20 or so participants. A closed event means that not everyone can join. In this case you had to apply to the event. In this event, [[Zone maker|zone maker ]] [[User:Dacop|Dacop ]] was the winner!
==Heavy rain==
[[Country:Norway |Norway]] had bucket loads of rain on their national day, bucket loads of [[Zone|zones ]] that is. On June 5th [[Country:Denmark |Denmark]] will have their national day and on June 6th, [[Country:Sweden|Sweden]]. It will be interesting to see if anything happens these days!
==Rotation==
This month we will be rotating the the [[Zone maker|zone makers ]] region allotment. Remember that this is a trial run and this is an experiment to see how this works and if different [[Zone maker|zone makers ]] can add to different aspects of [[Zone|zones ]] in all [[Region|regions]].
==Coming up==
In less than three days the spectacular event with its own name; [[Bonanza :Stockholm 2014|Bonanza 2014]] is going to take place in [[Municipality:Stockholm|Stockholm]]. On Saturday, June 7th at 10 o'clock the first part of the [[Bonanza ]] will take off. In the first heat anyone can participate and there will be prizes for the winner, however the in-game medal will be restricted to a participated medal, thus no winner medals are handed out during this heat. The second heat is the more challenging one. Participants have paid the entry fee and are competing for the big prizes, trophies and in-game medals. May the best [[Turfer |Turfer]] win! For those of you who have applied there will be a gathering during the evening where [[Turfer|Turfers ]] will mingle and enjoy some good food together. Yours truly will also be attending!
To even out the Southern and central events, [[Municipality:Umeå |Umeå]] is going to host a unique event they proudly call a [[Event:Midnight Classic 2014|Midnight Classic ]] which is held during the night between June 14-15, and in a few months you will be able to walk, cycle, jog, or whatever way of transportation you prefer, your way to a victory at the [[Turf Open Jönköping 2014|Turf Open in Jönköping]]!
I hope everyone will have a blast in June, summer is finally arriving and the weather is great for those picnics near some nice zones. I'd like to end this newsletter with a proverb I often use:
The shortest distance is between two zones!
