Hey guys, it's Morate. I'm starting a letter system where a group of letters will be delivered to one server member/admin/owner each week, on Thursday. (I picked Thursday because it sucks and maybe getting a few nice letters will prevent somebody's suicide.) Here's how it will work: E-mail your letter to the specified person to me exactly as you want it to show. My e-mail is grahamcfoster@gmail.com. As I get the letters, I will add them to a draft that will be timed to upload on Thursday. (LIKE A BOMB. They always explode on Thursday. One of the many reasons Thursday sucks.) I will NOT accept letters on or after Thursday. We will send letters to a different person each week. The first week will be... drumroll, please... Surf. It will be sent on the Thursday after Thanksgiving. Again, the e-mail is grahamcfoster@gmail.com. I will pick the one letter I think is the best (for whatever reason) and make it bold.Surf, if you don't mind, could you help me complete the Google Docs list I shared with teh3l3m3nts? It's self-explanatory. Thanks guys! See ya in 1.0!

P.S. Be sure to include your username. No anonymous crap. I CAN and WILL get your name. If I can't, I won't send your letter.

It was just an average day on teh3l3m3nts... I was working on my Sky Coaster, and Kirby was collecting stuff from the mob grinder. All of the sudden, Kirby told me to go to the grinder, so I did. This is what I saw:

LOOKIT! A SQUID!

The mob grinder spawned a squid! Isn't this the best thing ever? I mean, what are the odds? Well, I'm off to kill the squid now. Just thought you guys would like this!

UPDATE:

Apparently, it spawns squids a LOT. Sometimes it even gets glitchy and tentacles start reaching out of the walls.

Hello everyone rtkermit here, the full game of minecraft is coming out very soon. So as you know we have multiple maps, one of them is the update map, that every time an update comes out we update the map to the latest version. Since this will be the final big update in minecraft we can move to the update world without losing our work. This does not mean you will have to abandon the current map we use, that will actually still be our main world. I wanted to get a list together of people who will help me create the new spawn in the update world. So if you could please just comment and say that you want to help and any ideas you have.
