New Prison Newsletter Author!
It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to resign from my staffing position as a senior moderator on prison and as the author of the prison highlights for the newsletter.
As some of you may know, I have been writing the prison section of the newsletter since June 2019… so for almost 4 years.Nevertheless, I am very happy to announce that the prison section will have a wonderful new author beginning from next month’s edition of the newsletter! @DonutJack is a well-loved member of the prison community who has recently been promoted to junior moderator, and he is going to do an incredible job as the new author of the prison highlights.
Thank you to everyone who has tuned into the prison highlights while I have been writing it. And for the the last time…

Heyo gamers, welcome to the latest highlight section of what’s been going on in Survival this past February! We’ve had some exciting stuff this month, here’s to much more in the coming months.
I. Viking Longboat Build Competition WINNERS
The Viking Longboat Build Competition has come to a close! The winning longboats are the Jörmungandr Berserkr, the Azura, and the Oseberg by the wonderfully talented @GuessImJosh, @AshThePotato332, @_Zorincian, @Phol, and @Moumik. These beautiful ships have been added to the fleet at an island near spawn!
II. New Questline
Survival’s second main questline has been released!! Head over to the Quests warp and start your adventure with the warrior Bjarke, and battle against new custom bosses.
III. Triple Plus & Rank Colours
The +++ rank now has a new, more prestigious look! You are also now able to change your rank colour to that of a survival rank with /color.
That concludes this month’s Survival Highlights! I hope you all enjoy the new features and look forward to what’s to come in the future. Thanks for reading! :)

HELLO EVERYONE. It is me, ZombieBot01, here to tell you about the events of woolwars this month. One thing happened. Let’s get right into it!
I love clans and wars
This February, clan wars 3.0 was hosted by CharlieWK and DutchMTC. More than ten teams competed over three days to see which clan would come out on top. Congrats to Comet, Riyo, and Litraiders for winning!
I love kissing and cameras
That’s right everyone. After a six-month hiatus, the woolwars kiss cam is back. This months edition takes us across the server to survival, where @Viviannn and @oChocolate share a tender smooch after working in the mines all day. Munchy may be dead, but watching two people make out in a virtual block game will never cease to make our hearts flutter. Until next time ~~
Message me your kiss cam submissions for next month at @Reese#5218
That’s all for woolwars this month. See you later

BadBoyHalo Interview! 
I don’t know about you guys, but I love bad boys. And you know who’s the baddest boy of all? That’s right. BadBoyHalo. Last month, I interviewed Bad and asked him some questions about Munchy. Here’s how it went!
Zombie - When you started munchy in 2015, what was your goal for the server? Has anything surprised you about what munchy has become today?
Bad - My goal for munchy was initially just to have a place for all my friends to come, play, and hang out together. It worked for the most part! I think I’m a bit surprised at how we’ve evolved over the years and how the community of minecraft has shifted as a whole. It’s affected how you release games and what games are popular.
Zombie - Munchy has released a lot of gamemodes over the years, a lot of which are gone now. Are there any games from the early days of munchy that you miss? What’s your favorite gamemode now?
Bad - Probably mazerunner. That was a very fun gamemode. Also hunger games is another one of my favorite game modes we had on Munchy for a bit.
Zombie - Your youtube content is the main way that people discover Munchy. Do you have any plans for promoting munchy when it gets updated?
Bad - Yes I do! I have a few videos in the works. The biggest issue I have is just editing. I need to find an editor who can help me get the content out quickly.
Zombie - Everyone knows that you use the word muffin a lot. Do you know when or why you started using it so much? It’s a very specific trait of yours, and I’m wondering where it came from.
Bad - I just really like muffins. Who doesn’t? They are delicious and nutritious. I can’t think of anything tastier. I think it’s one of those things I just started saying and it stuck. I can’t remember exactly why.
Bonus Question!
Zombie - There have been a lot of announcements regarding upcoming changes to kit and woolwars, and the community is getting excited. Without revealing too much, is there anything you can tease to everyone to build hype for the updates? :)
Bad - I can’t tease too much, but we do have a new hub in the works that I think people will really like. The goal is to completely change how the hub works compared to the current hub. We’re also testing a new queue system for the Saturday streams.
Thanks to @BadBoyHalo for doing the interview with me! We’re hoping to make this a semi-regular (Maybe once or twice a year) thing. I hope you all enjoyed!
