Mozzarellacore

So... server is ending, and i Might be emotional. So im gonna write a little something about the egg, later fox, i played..

Mara! Little eggy creature, started out as all the others, but only after a short while of living with their parents grew to be so tall!

They met their fourth parent, their pa Val only a few days into the event, and it was so happy.

Met their sibling, decided to have a big and happy family!

It was really good for a while, although the white fox attacks made it hard to feel safe, so they built a bunker!

Then their parents got married to Val, making him an official parent!

Then they hatched.

Some bad things happened after that, they joined a cult, got infected, died.... oh well!

Things got better. In the end, their life was good, they were happy, loved and surrounded by family.

so. yay! fun times. i could write this out better but im lazy. such is life.

...also as a test of whether minecraft servers can be run better if you just communicate with your player base about issues that might be occurring. (the answer is a resounding yes. for the record.) <- shocking but true: telling players the issue of why a certain otherwise fun item might be removed makes players suddenly a lot more understanding of why that item is removed. instead of silence & leaving players to guess why it was removed. (though i admit i wasnt perfect on this front either, i gave up on documentation of these changes at some point because i was so worn out that keeping tabs on everything to that extent was just so much.)

and finally because i wanted to see if it could be done lol. while it ended up having to be invite request only, i wasnt ever able to handle keeping the server entirely public (just too many people all joining simultaneously for me to keep up with it), id still say it managed to get done and have a playerbase of around ~100 regular players each week. thats a lot! almost imperceivable to me honestly.

news in video for those who prefer it

What's up guys, update just dropped! It sure is something to try and decipher, huh. We've got pages of new stuff to go over, so let me learn you a thing about all the events and mishaps that happened on the server this week!

This week, we missed last week, and I messed this part up in the video. oops.

A quick recap of last week: Ghost, Andor, and Katie completed a full 24 hours online playing! Ghost also got possessed and killed all her spouses except Clenex. Mozzarella got maimed at the school and is suing for an insurance payout.

Gummy's new body is looking pretty good! At the statue garden, the white baby's statue book reads like a twitter hate thread. Seren ate a deadly amanita muscaria mushroom and died. Snowball had a dance party with their carers!

The backpack organization ratings begin, and while the news must remain a neutral source of information, I personally am making some judgements.

Mozzarella throws a popular party that a ton of people totally came to. The school goes on a field trip to the Nether! Tonmy builds a very pretty glass gazebo and invites some friends over to hang at it!

Through the power of dark magic and ritual necromancy, Dollie's family is complete again. Teivel thinks of only the best names for pets. Popcorn and their family find Zephyrous in a beautiful Radiant Crypt! I mean, look at that palette! Ignore all that stuff about the Radiant Swarm I'm sure it's nothing.

Nightmare has some sort of awful Food Boy style incident with pies. That is a lot of pie. The Void Sanctum is once again safe for visitors though if you ask me, anywhere is safe for visitors when you have a clipboard and high-vis vest. Gummy invites Nightmare over to see the kids and through an unfortunate series of events, a hole is broken in the wall.

Berry finds a prism geode that isn't even buried underground. How can this happen? Is it true a geode can form in this way? More at 6.

And now, some autistic Minecraft behaviors.

Apple shares some lovely photographs of their beautiful base. Val and Kia finally find tables big enough for their 18 children to share a meal at. Splat uses stacks and stacks of glass to make a roof for a greenhouse even though this house looks pretty white to me.

And now, a reading from r/malelivingspaces. Cherry plank floors. Pine walls with dark oak baseboards. Cinder(?) brick wall on the left side of the room. Single doorway leading to identical room on the back wall. No door. No furniture. Ambiguous dim light source. Bug hiding in a cranny on the left side of the room. Swamp staring at the brick wall. This has been a reading from r/malelivingspaces.

And this week on the server ends with the bite of 87?

me when i havent properly drawn oc stuff in a year... augh

anyways! fox kid Mara! I like to imagine the sweatshirt is what they had on when the magician took them, so its kind of a comfort item. also! Val pants :]

I made a scythe, and went adventuring and found this memorial (?) for an egg or creature named Mozzarella :D I don't know who they are but they seem really loved
