	~~February quick post! Today the game site [www.gameinformer.com GameInformer.com] informed us that the third number game of the AC trilogy now has a release date: ''~~[[Assassin's Creed ~~III~~]]~~'' will come out on October 30th, 2012~~. ~~Aside from that~~, ~~Ubisoft~~'s ~~CEO~~ [[~~Yves Guillemot~~]] ~~said:~~		The first DLC for [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]] has been announced.

	~~Besides from that, I am saddened to announce the resignation of one of our oldest Istruttore~~, [[User:~~Assassin-Rayne~~]]~~. Personal life has catch up with him and he could no longer fulfil his duties for the past months~~, ~~and as such had to leave the wiki staff.

			I would also like to make a special mention for our oldest admin and my consigliere, [[User:Master Sima Yi]]. My second in command, his amazing writing skills and throughout knowledge of AC canon helped shape this wiki to what it has become today. Leadership and charisma aren't everything a administration needs to be successful -- it also needs efficiency, dedication and professionalism. And Sima helps to make sure the wiki has all three of them. He is the Spock to my Captain Kirk. He is the Guardian of knowledge of this Compendium of information. And he is a good friend of mine. Thank you, Phil.

	~~And here we are~~! ~~After~~ the ~~utterly dissapointment~~ that ~~was ACR and~~ Ubisoft ~~in 2011 (or not~~, ~~depend if you liked ACR or not), here~~ we ~~are, 2012!~~		February quick post! Today the game site [www.gameinformer.com GameInformer.com] informed us that the third number game of the AC trilogy now has a release date: ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' will come out on October 30th, 2012. Aside from that, Ubisoft's CEO [[Yves Guillemot]] said:
			:''"We will push the title a lot because it's a fantastic product that the team has been working for three years, what we have seen is just fabulous."''

	~~The wiki keeps growing, our users keep seeding love and we keep on being the greatest and most complete compendium of AC info on the internet! Yeah XD~~		No more details were given.


	~~So far~~, ~~almost 20 days into~~ the ~~new year, we had no AC news whatsoever, but we have some Ubisoft Assassin's related bits~~ of ~~information. First~~ of ~~all~~, [[~~Alexandre Amancio~~]]~~, creative director of "ACR" and someone who I personally think was very critical to the ultimate lameness and mess~~ up ~~that was that game~~ and ~~storyline (along with McDevitt), has left Ubisoft company. And speaking of~~ the ~~script writer~~, ~~[[Darby McDevitt]] has left~~ the ~~AC franchise and is reportedly "pursuing another projects"~~. ~~I am speaking only by myself when I say this (and the readers can agree or disagree in the comments below), but both of you sure aren't going to~~ be missed.		Besides from that, I am saddened to announce the resignation of one of our oldest Istruttore, [[User:Assassin-Rayne]]. Personal life has catch up with him and he could no longer fulfil his duties for the past months, and as such had to leave the wiki staff. He will surely be missed.

			Aaaaand one more thing: [[User:Slate Vesper]] asked me to mention his blog about the new ACR achievements and what seems a hint at a DLC, so here it is: [[User blog:Slate Vesper/ACR Story DLC hinted at?]]
			Mention made, Slate -- I now expect my payment on costumary chocolates and dragon plushies.

	~~Next, this new year brings new changes on the wiki too, but good ones ^^~~		This is all for now, brothers and sisters. Stay tuned for more AC news and sound off on the comments below. =]


	~~First, I'm proud to announce that the Staff Team~~ is ~~currently pursuing and executing the idea of our own '''Fan Section''', a place where~~ all ~~your fan needs can be fullfilled. The fanon section will host images, pictures, videos and texts made by you fans~~, and ~~it will be throughly monitored to keep its quality high while still allowing a fantastic degree of freedom -- the characteristics and soul of our wiki ^^~~

	~~Second, is a change on our moderator team, the [[Istruttorium]]~~. We removed all ranks within the group, which now report directly to the admins and to me. And along with that change, the former carmelengo and second in command of the Istruttori, [[User:Vatsa1708]], has become '''the AC ~~Wiki's 4th administrator'''!~~

	Along with Sima and War, our resident TechWizard Vatsa (aka Piri Reis) enters the team as full fledged admin, so watch out, kids, there's a new dog in the house =P We are sure he will keep on doing the awesome job as he has done for the past year and ~~so and be a guiding presence to the new recruits in our brotherhood, so welcome him~~ on the comments below ^^

	~~Aaaand of course, expect him to make a formal speech =P (Speech! Speech! Speech! \o/)<br>XD~~


	~~Sooo that is all for today! Post your comments below – me and the staff want to hear your opinions!~~ =]

	~~I hope you all had a good New Year's Eve, and I hope we all have a awesome year!~~


	~~And remember, Vats:~~

	~~[[File:Aclogo.png\|100px\|left]][[File:Aclogo.png\|100px\|right]]~~
	<center>''Laa shay'a waqi'un moutlaq bale kouloun moumkine.''<br>These are the words spoken by our ancestors - that lay at the heart of our creed.<br>Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember... nothing is true.<br>Where other men are limited, by morality or law, remember... everything is permitted.<br>We work in the dark, to serve the light. We are assassins. <br>
	~~'''Nothing is true, everything is permitted.'''</center>~~


	~~Take these words by heart, and never forget their meaning. Congrats on your promotion, brother. Welcome to the brotherhood.~~


	Safety and peace, folks.		Safety and peace, folks.

I fell in love with this game the moment I downloaded it, after having it recommended by a friend, and my feelings for it have only grown since then. Overall, I would rate it at '''9/10''', dropping a mark due to the annoying bugs that sometimes, although rarely, crop up. I would most definitely recommend this game to literally anybody. :)
