Titans Valor's guild newsletter, volumes 1-21 (May 2022 - May 2026): the most important primary source for alliance history after the forum megalist's deletion, documenting Cucumber Company, smtn elf, Hestia's decline and Adonis before turning inward after 2023.

Twenty-one volumes were published between 8 May 2022[1] and 18 May 2026[2] (with a gap between vol. 11 of 25 May 2023[3] and vol. 12 of 20 February 2024[4]), hosted at titansvalor.org/news, with the first thirteen volumes mirrored at titantimes.github.io. After the forum megalist's alliance section was deleted in July 2022, Titan Times became the only regularly published, dated account of alliance affairs - the key primary source for the late realignment era.

The masthead changed hands twice. The founding writer and editor was bitesizedbee4 ('Bee'), who carried vols. 1 to 10 (8 May 2022 - 23 Apr 2023)[1][5]; GebutterteWurst ('Geb'), an ANO Councilor, joined as co-editor from vol. 7 (16 Dec 2022)[6]; Snazz wrote the recent-happenings column; Aezuh handled visuals and publishing and was still being thanked for reviewing and posting the team's work in vol. 20[7]; a member credited only as Andrew gave technical support in vol. 2[8]; and karapandza appeared as a guest writer in vols. 10 and 11. C0rupted introduced himself as 'the new writer' in vol. 12 (Feb 2024)[4] and remained on the team through vol. 21[2]. From vol. 16 (Nov 2024)[9] Talkair became the lead voice, credited in vol. 20 with 'not only writing but organising Titan Times for 5 whole editions'[7], with Lamplesspost writing the main-stage interviews from vol. 17[10]. Vol. 21 (18 May 2026) announced another change: l1npengtul took over as Editor-in-Chief, alongside Talkair, DragonZftw and C0rupted, promising a quarterly schedule tied to the start of each guild season from vol. 22 onward[2].

Its most important records are concentrated in the first ten volumes: vol. 1 (8 May 2022) dates Cucumber Company's formation to guild Season 5 ('our first season being a part of the new Cucumber Company war alliance') and the founding of Adonis as Hestia declined[1]; vol. 3 (12 Jun 2022) records IceBlue Team's exit, Gang of Fools' arrival and Avicia joining Adonis[11]; vol. 6 (12 Oct 2022) preserves the pivotal rename - 'Cucumber was archived. The new alliance name is called Smtn else' - along with Gang of Fools' betrayal and the accession of Paladins United, The Simple Ones and TerraLune to what became smtn elf[12]; vol. 9 (25 Mar 2023) records busted moments joining mid-season and Nefarious Ravens leaving 'on account of the guild disbanding'[13]; vols. 12-13 (Feb-Mar 2024) record Adonis as still active[4][14].

After that the newsletter turns inward. Vols. 14-21 (2024-2026) cover guild events, the Spirit and Brilliance cabinets, dungeon and lore criticism, and ANO's internal Ocean Trials war rankings, but name no alliance at all[10][2] - a silence that matches the private diplomacy era. What they do preserve is ANO's own record: the guild reaching level 105 in mid-2024 (vol. 15)[15], its season placings, and, in vol. 20 (23 Nov 2025), an interview with guild leader Calluum that is the only public account of ANO's leadership succession[7].

The newsletter's ecosystem also left machine traces: Titans Valor's Discord bot (github.com/titantimes/valor) consumed a shared ANO/AVO alliance-claims feed between April and December 2022[16]. The bot was not the work of motoki317, who wrote moto-bot (github.com/motoki317/moto-bot), a separate Java Wynncraft utility bot with its own player-tracking commands, archived read-only on 27 January 2024[17]. Nothing links motoki317 to Titans Valor[18].
