New Poll! Which weapon would be a fun addition?

Last week, Punisher suggested that we ask about what item players find most valuable in their game.  It seems that most of us prefer iron, given its abundance and durability!

Old Poll Results:

Iron	5 (71%)
Gold	0 (0%)
Emerald	1 (14%)
Diamond	1 (14%)

Votes so far: 7 

Diamonds are fun when you come by a lot and emeralds are great for those of you with villager farms!

This week's new poll is another hypothetical question. Pretending that Mojang makes all of these weapons well balanced and suited for the game, what weapon do you think would be a fun addition?

New Settlement: New Sanctuary

Our third settlement has been founded!  New Sanctuary (based on the ancient Sanctuary of Old Gazer) is led by ThePunisher1028 with Morallybisexual and SirMeatwad in tow!

New Sanctuary boasts a public cobble stone generator as well as a very impressive villager-run market place!  Stop in if you need saddles, emeralds, or any assortment of rare goodies!  Coordinates are X:-415 Z:-780.  Pun has also built a nifty nether portal if you think that might be a better option.

With that news, the last settlement slot has been filled. A new slot will not be open until we either get enough new people on the whitelist to warrant more openings or until one of the current settlements gets promoted (or becomes an inactive ghost town).

Poll Results and New Poll!

Here's the results from last week's poll, which was about the new arrow update!  What upcoming feature are you excited about?

Lava coated arrows	1 (10%)
Glowstone coated arrows	2 (20%)
Slime coated arrows	0 (0%)
Gunpowder/coal coated arrows	4 (40%)
Quiver	3 (30%)

Votes so far: 10 

This week's poll is purely hypothetical -- we currently don't have any plans to implement anything.  What we're curious to know is: What type of plugin would you like added to the server?

New Village: Cerberus

The village of Cerberus has been founded!  This once quiet settlement now boasts a handful of members, including Paul_PickSmythe, Omegabrad, Thundermob1234, Tdizzlenizzle, Mikelikesmen, Zherix, and Otterun -- all led by the noble Fyrd Cassiroll!

The once quaint swamp now boasts a smelting area, town storage, nether portal, wall, stables, farms, homes, and so much more! Feel free to stop by!  The town's general coordinates are 120, 120.  Be sure to also collect the new warp plate to Cerberus, located in the gazebo around 90, 104.

We now have one village slot taken, meaning a settlement slot has opened up!  Who will be next to upgrade?

New Poll: Spirit Animal

Minecraftforums.net recently featured a "Spirit Animal" quiz.  It's short, cute, and the descriptions seem pretty on point!  Take it and find out what your Minecraft Spirit Animal is!

Results!

The poll results are in!  In our world of massive deserts, oceans, and savannahs, it seems that villages, dungeons, and temples are in abundance!  Here are the results from last week's question:

HOW MANY DUNGEONS OR TEMPLES HAVE YOU DISCOVERED?

None	0 (0%)
1-3	1 (16%)
4-6	2 (33%)
7-10	3 (50%)
11+	0 (0%)

New Settlement: Cerberus

Our second settlement has been founded, led by Cassiroll!  Other members include KidPeiwei, Otterun, Thundermob12345, Tdizzlenizzle, and Zherix. It's a spacious swamp, still partially under construction.

It's conveniently located just off of the South Gate if you'd like to drop in and check it out.  Coordinates are: X-120, Z-120.  Be sure to ask permission before using their area to hunt slimes!

With that news, the last settlement slot has been filled.  A new slot will not be open until we either get enough new people on the whitelist to warrant more openings or until one of the current settlements gets promoted (or becomes an inactive ghost town).

New Settlement: The United District

Our first settlement has been founded!  Mynamebenben, Sliverin, and Shiznok have created The United District.  It's a cozy little place by a forest, lake, and a certain rare biome! 

If you're up for a nice long walk, why not stop for a visit?  X: -3800 and Z: 900  If you're interested in possibly joining, talk to one of the current members to find out how!

In other news, it seems like the majority of us voted incorrectly!  T'was Sliv, Shiz, and Benben who were first!

WHO DO YOU THINK WILL START THE FIRST SETTLEMENT?

Meat	1 (10%)
Pun & Krys	3 (30%)
Shiz & Sliv	3 (30%)
Xertris	1 (10%)
Z & Otter	2 (20%)

Who could possibly be next?  We have one more settlement slot available.  After that, there will be no more settlements allowed until the current settlements upgrade or until we get several new members.
