Parkour Revamp!
And the Return of Planet Parkour!


​

Thank you all for waiting while we worked hard to bring you the long awaited parkour revamp. Over the last couple months my team has been working tirelessly on new maps, and a new game mode!

Introducing Casual and Progression!
The parkour world now has two game modes which players can complete!

The new progression system works on unlocking each difficulty level through acquiring a specific amount of levels! In addition to this we are introducing a new difficulty, Insane!

Easy maps will be available for everyone to join and will reward one level each time you complete it! In order to unlock the Medium section a player would be required to obtain ten levels. Medium maps will reward two levels each time you complete it. Hard is unlocked with thirty levels and rewards three per completion. Finally, insane is unlocked with forty levels and rewards five levels!

The Casual section is for those who would like to simply parkour without the commitment and stress of progressing. It provides people the choice of maps and difficulty, however, these maps will also reward levels, this is in place while we are working on more maps for our progression system. It should also be noted that all easy maps are accessible via both the progression and casual sections!

Below you will be able to find a list of maps which are going to be found in each section as well as their meeble prizes!

New reward delays!
Easy and medium maps are now able to be completed daily! And Hard and Insane maps are able to be completed every four days!


The return of the old!
ALL old maps will be returning! And yes, I do mean all. Planet parkour is making its comeback, it is returning the exact same as it was. I did however have to make judgments on where to put checkpoints, if anyone has any issues or suggestions for where to put the checkpoints please contact me! I want to make it as authentic as possible.

Our Maps!
Here is a list of maps which can be found within the causal system:

• Easy:
  
  • Jungle - 6,000 meeble reward
    
  • Cactus - 6,500 meeble reward
    
  • Grotto - 8,000 meeble reward
    
  • Oasis *NEW* - 10,000 meeble reward

• Medium:
  
  • City - 20,000 meeble reward
    
  • Flower - 15,000 meeble reward

• Hard:
  
  • Chillroom - 40,000 meeble reward
    
  • Stronghold - 25,000 meeble reward
    

Here is a list of maps which are found within the progression system:

  • Airport - 18,000 meeble reward
    
  • Balloon - 12,500 meeble reward

  • Country Side - 30,000 meeble reward
    

• Insane:

We are currently working on new maps which will be added to this system!

*note* All easy maps in the casual section are in the progression as well *note*

Parkour Build Competition!
Now that we have released our revamp, i would like to open the idea of player submitted maps! To kick this off, I would like to host a build competition! The winner would be implemented onto the server in either section! And the runner ups would have the possibility of being entered as well!
First place: 250,000 meebles
Second place: 100,000 meebles
Third place: 50,000 meebles

 

Meepers clearly abiding by the social distancing rules​

Welcome to The MeepTimes, the twice-monthly update to keep the community in the loop with what’s new, behind the scenes, and in the works.​

Server Updates
Mute Update
The chat plugin has been reworked to improve /mute. In addition, players can now use /checkmute to see if they are muted and for how long.

Ignore
Players can now ignore other players with the /ignore <player> command.

Super Chat
The chat colors for SuperMod, SuperArch, and SuperTech have been updated to the beautiful light turquoise color.

Spawn Ice and Barrier Maze
The beloved ice maze from the 2013 spawn is back with a twist! The second level of the maze now utilizes barrier blocks to increase the challenge. Go to /warp maze to test your patience and navigate your way through the ice and barriers for a meeble prize every 24h!

1.16 Compatibility
Players are now able to log on Meep on 1.16 and 1.16.1, but bear in mind that the best playing experience on Meep works with 1.12!

Boomo Clarity
Boomo now has a sign at /warp boomo telling players to /join a game.

Bugs Squashed
Parkour Commands
/ewb and /ec no longer work in parkour.

Spawn Lag
Spawn Lag has been decreased.

Jobs
/feed works again for Farmer level 100. Breaking placed diamond ore no longer pays money.

MeepTimes Contests
In this section, the community will get a chance to participate in a quick contest in each MeepTimes! There will be a 25,000 meeble or 4,000 skull prize (from the MeepTimes writers) given to the person with the best answer, chosen by the MeepTimes team. To be entered, just reply to the thread with an answer! The winner will be paid with the release of the next MeepTimes.

The contest for this issue is: Submit a photo of the night sky that you took and you’re proud of. We’ll showcase all submissions in an album and feature the winning picture in the upcoming issue.

The winner of the last edition’s Meeptimes contest is @Katronica who managed to adopt the Australian timezone sleep schedule whilst being in the PST zone during quarantine. Those are some super skills. Please try to sleep normally now!

The Project: Chat Overhaul
Meep’s chat plugin was recently overhauled and revised by @EnergyAssassin in order to add additional features for the community and staff team. Among these features are the ability to check mutes, ignore other players, toggle different chats, and the caps and posting filters have been relaxed.

What needed changing about the chat plugin?
A major change was making mutes work better. Muted used to just be a permissions group, which wasn't ideal. As we try to ban less players and just put them in timeout, it's important that it works well.

I also wanted /checkmute so that it was clear to players if/how long they were muted for. Also, many changes were needed to help staff out. There are now individual channels for Techs and Media.

Staff can also track mute history just like ban history. There's also /stoggle so we can ignore @SpongeyStar . There's also many slight changes made to make the experience better. This includes /ignore, and Staff not bypassing /gtoggle.

We also noticed we missed some suggestions in this update, and the following should be in game soon: Recording the reason for a mute (visible in /checkmute), /ignore expiring after a week, double post filter -> triple post filter, tagging players bypasses /gtoggle, remove/relax caps filter, toggles for local, world, and towny chats. Rainbows.

Was this project any different from previous ones you've worked on?
This project is heavily involved with cross-server communication (literally), and the database. Usually plugins don't need to rely on that. I enjoyed understanding a bit more about that.

What was your most favorite change to add?
Disabling the staff bypass for /gtoggle. I can ****post in global now without guilt!

Where did /poke go?
It died peacefully in its sleep. It's survived by its weird cousin, /m qazini poke.

What was the biggest challenge?
This plugin is a perfect example of "technical debt". It's not very easy to add new features too. I spent a good chunk of time rethinking the code to be cleaner.

When is poke coming back?
No? Yes. Maybe. Unless?

Story-time with the Crew: Where’s Stanley? by @SpongeyStar

The last known place Stanley was seen, before he disappeared​

A cold breeze stirred through the land of MeepCraft. Players bustled into their homes, keeping safe from the bitter weather. Electricity was cut, one by one.

A player by the name of Spongey, retreated to her usual home of her casino, making sure everything was in shape. Spongey did not expect to see any visitors come to her casino since it might have been too dangerous to come over due to the severity of the weather. So she started to close up shop, until she saw a silhouetted figure standing at the entrance of SpongeySlots.

“Hello?” Spongey called out.

“Spongey,” the figure answered. The figure started walking towards the cake bar, where Spongey was at.

“Who are you?” questioned Spongey. “What do you want?”

“I would like you to help me,” the voice replied. “Here, take care of this. Please do not lose it, or else, fate will be on your side...”

The figure disappeared, and Spongey realised she was holding onto something the mysterious person had dropped. It was a piece of salmon, named Stanley, with a note attached to it. This read:

Dear Spongey,
It is by time that I give you my friend Stanley to take care of. Stanley has always been with me since I was young, however my Moderator duties prevent me from spending as much time with him as I would. This weather is also affecting Stanley very much, and my home is not suitable for him as it is damp, and cold (and the roof just got blown off.). Therefore, I would like you to take care of him for me until I fix my house. Please don’t lose him, or else, fate will be on your side..
From, SaltKnight49x (Dark)​

“Me? Taking care of a beloved fish? Why would anyone trust me with a fish!” Spongey thought, looking at the fish whilst licking her lips. “No. I must not eat Stanley. I must take care of him with due respect!”

Days had passed and Spongey had been carrying Stanley in her /chest to keep him safe. She started to forget about Stanley, but at least he was safe in her /chest, right? It was only when she noticed DarkKnight at her casino, she remembered Stanley.

“Spongey!” Dark yelped to his feet, and ran towards her. “Could I see Stanley? I miss him very much!”

“Stanley. In my /chest. But which one?” Spongey wondered and started searching through her 3 /chest’s. When she got to chest 3, she found Stanley and pulled him into her hand. “There you go, Dark! Stanley is a good boy, you should be proud of him.”

A smile gleamed on Spongey’s face as she handed Stanley to Dark. But on the other hand, Dark’s smile turned to a frown and he raised his eyebrow.

“This is not Stanley. This is not Stanley!” Dark’s temper had gotten the best of him and he started hyperventilating.

“B-b-ut, how could it not be Stanley? I swear this is him! I kept him in my chest the whole time! I never lost him!” Spongey started worrying very much, she did not want fate to be on her side.

“I want the real Stanley. You have 10 days, Spongey. I want Stanley in 10 days, or else, you’ll get the ban!” Dark smirked and disappeared back to his house.

The search for the ‘real’ Stanley continues….

Homemade pea-zza​

How've you been doing these past few months?
Those past months have been interesting! Just before quarantine started here in Greece, I participated in my first wrestling competition since 2017 (or 2018). I did not actually win any of my matches this time, but what I got out of it, the learning experience, is I think much more valuable- I realised many mistakes that with more practice I can and will overcome. That was before about 4 months, and it was about the last time I ever wrestled, thanks to the quarantine. We must always see the light in the dark however; it had just happened that I had some injuries building up, which thanks to the rest I have gotten have started to heal up lately. I also did online classes for university, which was truly an eye opening experience. In the way that every student including me thought that they would actually attend their classes if it was from their home's comfort, but were we wrong xd . And lastly, I made @cooey the great journalist proud by (finally) getting my first job at a grocery & fresh produce and juices store.

How long have you been into wrestling? Why does it attract you?
Do you do this? “When I was little and my parents were driving I’d pretend there was a man/being/thing running alongside the car who had to follow certain rules like “he can only travel by jumping from streetlight to streetlight” or “he can only walk on fences””

I don't pretend there's a man there, but I'll bob my head around or something to specific patterns, yeah
Yeeeeeeeee. I imagine there is a weird cat thing, like a leopard, that is translucent. In my mind IT could jump from one white marking of the road to another. Sorry for the delay.

That's okay, I just was worried you'd forgotten my question.
Nooo, I’m old, but not that old. Yet.

I started wrestling way back in 2013, as a 13 year old. The initial reason: I was almost mugged at the street because I was chubby nerdy and awkward (still am), so my parents suggested I started some sport to get a zenkai boost, and a family friend suggested wrestling. Fun story: upon entering the place and seeing the athletes perform a difficult warmup exercise (which i've only managed to do about a year ago) I fled only to have my mother drag me back in, an act that I will be forever grateful for. Wrestling has given me confidence, physical strength as well as mental.

Before picking up wrestling I had tried things like swimming and soccer, but quit them shortly after starting. My engagement with the sport really has transformed me, since I now love most sports, having also done track and field & even the previously despised swimming those past years.

Why did wrestling do for you what other sports did not? Why do you enjoy it specifically?
Honestly the whole reason I actually started the sport was that I was blessed to be introduced to it by one of the best coaches in the country. He actually didn't have me start right of the bat, but instead advised me to come and spectate a few training sessions to familiarise myself with the whole training. Solely training wise, now, as a more experienced athlete I can say that it is a superior sport because it trains the whole body, literally from head to toes. It is a combat sport, yet you don't hurt anyone or get hurt yourself and you exhaust the limits of your body during sparring but still keep pushing, challenging your mental power. As they say "A wrestler has the strength of a weightlifter, the speed of a sprinter and the cleverness of a chess player".

I got reminded of another incident now.

What is the incident?
It was after I was wrestling for about a year. Was still chubby and awkward but the training had ofc paid off. My school had a group of bullies pretty much. One of ‘em had targeted me, went to *****slap me but I blocked the slap like a karate ninja, so he left. I don't blame them bullies now that I’m grown up and wise cause I know they had problems of their own to deal with.

Is there a wrestling match that stands out to you?
I mean it was good when I placed 3rd in the national school tournament lmao. But every match stands out for its own reason. My first ever match that I lost taught me not to underestimate my opponent, and to use my body more wisely (acquired an injury that I still have now), my second (set) of matches that consisted of 3 matches taught me to be persistent and keep on giving my all, and my most recent match taught me to stick to the basics and to do what I know best, instead of using a style that is not my own.

What have been some of the injuries you’ve acquired from the sport?
I know I said earlier that you don't get hurt, but of course every single sport out there includes possible injuries. My very first injury was on both my big toes, and was caused at my first competition by me assuming the bridge position, so my shoulders did not touch the mat, while having my equally heavy opponent fall on me. It took me about a month to start walking normally again and a long time to run. (ptsd is hitting as I'm writing this, my toes are responding with pain lmao). My second big injury was caused about 5 months ago while sparring, because my opponent wrongly hyper-extended my elbow with force, for three times in total. (that's why I drink bone supplements xd) Honorary mention of the one time I fell on my head with all my small weight of 85kg at the time.

tl;dr @qazini should start wrestling (judo, sambo, and bjj are also acceptable)

You said you work at a fruit store now. Why fruits? What do you enjoy about it?
MONEY

I’m just saying, you mentioned some really fancy smoothie, I do believe, And now you're just being mum!
No, I’m dad, hence the dad jokes, yes.

I swear, you will create a child out of thin air through the sole power of dad jokes.
Good for me cause I'm single for life

ehem

I mean

Juices

The biggest reason is of course to get money. But it happens that I have always liked to be around fresh produce, as weird as that sounds. I like it because it reminds me of two interests I’ve had since I was young: cooking and gardening. @cooey was right all along work is nice.

What do you like about cooking and gardening? What have been some of your best experiences with one or the other?
In both I like to use my imagination, I create my own recipes and usually plant stuff in unorthodox ways, which of course, a lot of times doesn't work.

What did you have for dinner today?
The infamous pea-zza. I made pizza-flavored peas. Jahahahaha. I’m serious though, that’s the good part. Took leftover peas, put ‘em on a pan with tomato sauce, added cheese. Boom you’ve got yourself a pea-zza.

What is your favorite dish to have ever created?
Not the peazza. Probably pizza tbh. I've been making pizza for 10 years.

How’d that go?
Gud thank

You are famous for being an anime fan. What makes anime special to you? How did you get into it and what keeps you around?
Anime has been one of my main interests for about 7-8 years (heck I just realised that). It's special to me because not only it's entertaining, but there is a plethora of titles to choose from suitable for all tastes, much like with normal movies. I can relate characters to myself, I can draw them, I can sing the songs I like, or even use anime as the introduction to another culture and language- I know that in many cases reality is not the same as portrayed in anime, but it's still thanks to it that I can enjoy such things. I have even become a hardcore Sumo fan.

If you could recommend just one title to try and get someone into anime, what would you tell them to watch?
I'm talking to YOU good reader. Yes you. Watch. Anime. The one title I'm going to recommend is Boku no Hero Academia. Although I would not consider it the best anime I have watched, it still ranks pretty up high in my list and is great for WANNABE OTAKUS. In a world where superpowers are a thing, the plot revolves around a teenage boy that has the dream to become a hero that saves people. Only that.. he lacks the superpower. He however never stops dreaming, until one day he happens to meet with the Number One hero, All Might. Could it be that this fated meeting will change his life? (hint it does). Also I want to give @Deljikho credit for being my senpai.

Who is the best staff?
GroovyGrevous. Loved by many hated by none. And is also very humble.

Anything else you’d like to mention?
Honorable mention to papa Ling for coming up with the Groovy part of the name.

Honorable mentions to @Deljikho for helping me out as a newbie staff, advice he gave me back then applies at my actual job now so big thancc.

Honorary mention to Original_Grendal, a Mod at the time in 2012, because it's thanks to him I stayed on the server.

Finally, in about two weeks, the young boy that could not even probably write English let alone speak will have his 8 year meep anniversary. So, to those of you that helped that young boy practice his language skills, that made this server a place he could go back to at difficult and happy times and that became his friends, the BIGGEST shoutout.

Towny Extreme FAQ
There have been a lot of questions about how Extreme works. Here is an FAQ guide that will hopefully clear up some of them.

If you have any other queries, please ask in this thread or in #questions under Town Hall in the Meep discord. The questions will both be answered there and added to this list.

General
What is extreme?
Extreme is a world with towny war enabled. Getting resources and getting around is more difficult. However, it is designed so that players are still able to build majestic towns without worrying about raids.

How do I know what's legal?
Check out the Towny Extreme rules here.

Why am I getting kicked for spam?
Rejoin with 1.12.2

How do I make money?
Completing quests and fighting mobs in dungeons.
Killing mobs in the dungeon will earn you 100 skulls per kill, and the first quest is worth 15,000 skulls.

What are dungeons?
Dungeons are worlds in Extreme accessible by portals. Once there, you fight regular mobs and bosses to earn skulls. Find a portal by starting a quests with /quests take (quest name).

How much does a town cost?
50,000 skulls. Make it with /t new (town name).

Why don’t I have access to any of my donor perks?
Donor perks are disabled in extreme - this world is leveled for everyone.

What happens if I die?
You lose your items and levels and warp back to your town spawn. If you got killed by another player, they steal 25% of you skulls.

I can fly, what's going on?
You can fly within your town's borders.

PvP
Where can people kill me?
Just about anywhere. You're safe in /warp extreme and in your own town, but otherwise, be on your guard.

How do bounties work?
You can set a bounty on a player with /bounty (player) (reward). If someone kills that player while the bounty is still active they get the reward you set. You can check all available bounties with /bounties.

Can residents from my town kill me?
No.

What is the dynmap?
A map of Extreme that you can find here. It shows all online players' locations. You can hide on the dynmap by crouching, being underground or inside, and by using an invisibility potion.


Teleportation and Travel
What teleport commands may I use?
You can use /t spawn to get back to your town spawn.

Do I keep my location if I log out or warp to another world?
Yes.

If griefing is on in the wild, does that mean railroads and highways are impossible to maintain?
No - railroads and highways will be protected. Breaking them is illegal. If you find a griefed highway, contact a staff member and they will get the grief rolled back.

How do I get back to Extreme spawn?
You can use your preferred system of transportation to get back. Once at the walls, go to the south side and climb the ladder to get into the castle.

Quests
How do I start the quest?
/quests take jungle

How do I check my quest progress?
/quest - use this to make sure you're not skipping important steps.

Can I log out and keep my quest progress?
Yes.

Why is x boss not spawning?
There is a cool down for boss spawns.

This book says that I should have received x item, but I don't see it in my inventory.
Such items are put into a "quest inventory" - a virtual inventory that you don't see. Just continue on with the quest and don't worry about it.

We hope for this to be a comprehensive list, so if you are still confused about something, please ask in #questions on the Meep discord or in this thread and we’ll add it here.

The best part would be building the town.

What’s the greatest challenge?
The greatest challenge would be getting a good town staff team.

Winner will be paid with the release of the next MeepTimes.

The question for this issue is: What’s your favorite job duo?

The winner to last week’s Meeptimes question was @LargeUnit !


The Project: The Complete Eco Revamp!

​

What is the Economy Revamp?
Over the past month many changes have been made throughout the server to initiate the Economy Revamp. Multiple steps have been cautiously thought out to ensure that this transition would be smooth. The first step was the Jobs revamp, this alone was a huge project which included re-structuring all the jobs, if you are interested about reading more about this project you can either go to the previous meeptimes edition here or the jobs thread here.

The second step was initiating the changes into the vote crate and adding new prizes. The third step in this enormous project was re-structuring /warp shop to better suit the current economy. After this was the fourth step which included increasing the prizes for mini games and parkour. The next couple steps are where we are up to currently!


Who was involved in this project?

• @CluelessKlutz was the lead on this project and worked extremely hard to ensure it was a success!
  
  
• @Midnight_Galaxy assisted throughout the project along with @EnergyAssassin!

Let’s talk!
We interviewed the mastermind behind this project @CluelessKlutz!

Can you describe what this process has been like?
It’s been quite a lengthy process. Quite a bit of it has to be adjusted at a moment’s notice in case an issue is found. Most of it started as a base plan for jobs alone last summer. After October, actual planning and development began. After development was finished, the first stage of the revamp launched with the new Jobs in the last week of December. Since then, the server shop, vote crate, minigame prizes, parkour prizes, and many other aspects of the server have all been updated with the same mindset.

What is happening next in this project?
Currently, we’re in the middle of Stage 5. I can’t quite reveal what’s next just yet, but everything will continue to be adjusted as needed.

What assistance have you had?
I’ve had loads of help from many, many people, either indirectly or directly. @Midnight_Galaxy helped with the Parkour rebalance; @qazini, @MasterofBoom, @EnergyAssassin, @agnd, and Mid again helped come up with the initial ideas for jobs, @NinjaRoxy setting up the shop, and many others in balancing and adjustments.

What is your favourite part of the Economy Revamp?
Personally, my favorite aspect is the way each job flows together smoothly.

What does it feel like when the community experiences something you have worked hard on?
Nerve racking for the first time, given that reception isn’t always positive. However it’s incredibly rewarding when everything flows smoothly and is enjoyed.

Do you enjoy working with people on projects?
Absolutely, it can be difficult at times, but having more than one opinion is invaluable to making a complicated system.

What was the hardest part of the economy revamp?
The most difficult part is deciding on a balance between fairness and enjoyment. Things require a balance in order to work properly, however it can’t get in the way of the overall goal of the server, which is a fun experience for the average player.

When did you first join Meep?
I joined Meep in March of last year.

What are some of your favorite things on the server?
I like the jobs system, I was sceptical about the changes at first but it hasn’t interrupted much and I like the staff as they are always willing to help.

What do you like to do outside of Meep?
I like to play my instruments, play other games, watch youtube and anime.

Which instruments do you play?
I play the guitar, I own three of them, two electrics and an acoustic, I play the banjo and the keyboard. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Which one’s your favorite then?
Yes, I love love love my guitars to bits, I would have to say guitar is my passion instrument as well as the instrument I am most proficient with, which guitar? Probably my Ibanez Premium electric. It is pretty suave.

Do you play publicly or just for yourself?
If I were to get a band together, I would try and play publicly publicly but at the moment it’s just for myself.

You said you like anime. Which animes do you watch?
Yes, I do, I watch mainly action animes as they’re just so entertaining, I just finished the first season of Mob Psycho 100, I recently finished Blue Exorcist and Youjo Senki. Favourite anime has to go with Attack on Titan or One Punch Man.

What draws you to anime?
It’s not for everyone, I think it’s the fact that it’s something that is totally different to what we see on western tv, it’s really the only place you can watch the devil leave his realm, end up in Japan, run out of magic, and work at McDonalds.

The anime I was describing is The Devil Is a Part-Timer! Less action but I watched it off a recommendation and so far I’m happy with it.

If you could recommend one show or movie to people, which would it be?
So one anime, huh? Well depends on who I’m recommending it to, if they’re into more dark and grim action, Youjo Senki is a rather good pick. For those who want a really light-hearted anime One Punch Man is upbeat with lots of good jokes and action scenes.

You’re a builder in Mistveil. What do you do there?
Well, I’m not really a builder per say, it’s just my friend is there and they got me to help out by filling in plots or excavating or material gathering while they build.

Has your approach to jobs changed with the new system?
No, not at all. Back in the old system I was in all the jobs because I did a bit of everything, however when the time comes I just switch jobs, say if I were to go mining quartz I would leave fisherman and join adventurer. I found that hunter and fisherman are easily some of the best grinding jobs as fisherman you sit in a pond and catch fish and hunter you can grind at places like these.

The question for this issue is: What is your favorite thing about Halloween?

The winner to last week’s Meeptimes question was @Mettekes, who answered that it was Kling. Many guessed that it was either Kling or Midnight_Galaxy, and both answers were correct.

Story-time with the Crew ft. The Halloween Contest
@evilalec555 was sitting comfortably on the back porch of his secluded forest home, enjoying his morning coffee and staring out as the last of summer’s leaves faded and fell away when a loud knock startled him. Reluctantly he left his coffee and his early morning thoughts and headed for the front door.

He peeked through the window and to his surprise it was @Mettekes , holding a clipboard and a colorful assortment of streamers.

“Hey, how’re you?” she asked.

“Oh, I’m good, I was just enjoying my daily coffee.” he replies, still a bit confused as to why she’s come out all the way out into the woods to see him.

“So a group of friends and I organized a competition for the spookiest house this halloween. It seems your house isn’t yet decorated, but there’s still time, almost two weeks, and I’d love to see what you could do.” Mettekes was barely containing her excitement while explaining.

“Uhh, yeah, sure, why not? I’m somewhat busy, just started my own town, but I’ll make sure to set aside some time for decorating.” And then hesitantly added “Is there a prize?”

“Yep! 100,000 meebles to the winner.”

Alec had been hoping for a larger sum, he was now having doubts about his commitment, but Mett had already turned around and was speedily walking away.

A week passes, and Alec had virtually forgotten about the contest. He was beset with managing his newly founded town and cleaning up after his eight parrots. This morning is noticeably crisper, so the cup of coffee is even more welcome as Alec relaxes before the chaos of his many day tasks will begin.

Boom boom went the door. Grumpily, Alec got up from his chair and crossed the living room. On the porch was an envelope. He leaned down to pick it up, and then glanced up. Swiftly departing from his house was @SpongeyStar , with her bag of mail flapping in the wind.

Who’s sending me mail? Alec wondered to himself. He opened the envelope and found a short letter:

Hey Alec, just a quick reminder that the Halloween decoration competition will be judged in 5 days. Expecting a great entry from you.

Best of luck,
CuddlyKittens14, Mettekes, Vexmae, EllieEllie, and onceuponajano
(The Halloween House Decoration Competition Committee)

With all of his other going-ons, Alec had entirely forgotten about the competition and chance to win 100,000, which looked significantly nicer after 10 days of running a town. Alec placed the letter onto a side table as a reminder and headed back to the back porch to finish his coffee.

As he sat enjoying his coffee, the front door, which he had forgotten to shut, let in a great gust of wind that pummeled the letter out an open window and into the forest, never to be seen again.

The next morning, Alec sat sipping his morning coffee when he recalled yesterday’s knock which had disturbed him from his habit. He couldn’t recall where he put the letter, but, he decided, that was of no consequence, that was just a reminder, he’ll do it tomorrow, since today he had promised to go fishing with @AdrianIsEpic this afternoon.

Tomorrow comes. The warm coffee flavor joined with the gentle autumn smell of the forest provided protection from the chills that were setting in as fall was heading into its more wrathful phase. Alec would wait out the rest of October and move his coffee ritual inside only when November will hit, as he did every year.

He recalled yesterday’s incident, where for 4 hours, Alec would fish out nothing while Adrian accumulated a large haul. He later confessed that the lake had no fish, and just had @Blendyz in a scuba suit clipping dead fish onto Adrian’s fish hook. The ordeal went from bad to worse when Alec tried to push Adrian into the water as retribution. However, instead of getting a slight bit of revenge, Alec missed his mark and plummeted into the late-October water.

So today Alec was planning to see what could be done about Adrian’s pranks, and headed for court. After filling out stacks of paperwork and many hours of talking to various people, it seemed that he was getting nowhere. Exhausted, he came home and fell into bed.

Two days to go till Halloween, and Alec woke up with a headache. He had a cold.

Between the legalese-filled bustle of yesterday and the daily, probably ill-advised morning coffees in the chill air, it wasn’t much of a shock. Alec sent his parrots out to town to get him some medicine and chicken soup so that he could be up by tomorrow for the festivities. At this moment in time, the contest was the last thing on his mind.

The parrots flew into town. Three shopped for medicine and soup cans, which they carried back in a bag, while the others were there for company, and so had time to explore the going-ons of the town. They spotted the last-minute celebration preparations of the townspeople, and thought back to their owner’s plans on participating, and decided that they would finally get him to get up and decorate the house, and win the 100,000 meeble prize.

Deciding to do it, however, was much easier than accomplishing it. Two parrots attempted to steal a banner from @Istas_Sani to remind Alec of the competition, but Istas caught them and almost had them arrested for theft, but their cute parrot appearances saved them from anything more than a reprimand.

Alec’s pets returned home and, upon depositing the requested goods, immediately got to planning their communications strategy. Their deliberations took much time, but finally, they thought they had the answer.

They found Alec in the kitchen, preparing the chicken soup and coughing, but certainly looking better than in the morning. Four parrots surrounded his head and flocked about him, doing their best to grab his attention. Slowly, he turned around, and the parrot play commenced.

Two parrots grabbed hold of a strainer with their beaks and walked across the table. They met with a third parrot, who deposited walnuts into the colander. A second and third parrot did the same. Alec sat looking at the scene in bewilderment. Suddenly, another parrot appeared, and this one was flying down towards the table, wearing an overly large white tablecloth. Miraculously, the bird didn’t crash and received the planned squawk of terror. The two trick-or-treating birds received another walnut, and shortly thereafter an open bowl of tomato juice was toppled onto the trick-or-treaters.

So far all was going according to plan (whether this was helpful to the dumbfounded Alec was another question). Then an aspiring young parrot decided to recreate the ghost scene. Making do with a napkin, he swooped down onto the table, but the youngling didn’t possess the same finesse of flying and coordination as the older bird, and he rammed straight into the three of the birds on the table, who were at that point trying their best to recreate a vampire. The squawks of horror and yelps of pain that followed were very much real this time around.

Chaos reigned as feathers flew and splinters found their way into the soft skin of several birds. A cacophony of noise arose from those injured and those worried about the injured. Some birds were hopping in place, others were zooming about the room, knocking over vases, bowls of soup, and cups of coffee. Alec, still sick but now preoccupied with the health of his birds, was rushing from parrot to parrot, trying to calm them down and locate the hurt ones. Three hours later and Alec was finally able to lay back down in again.

But between caring for his birds, chastising them, cleaning the kitchen, warming a new bowl of soup, and being sick, everyone had forgotten the point of the play-gone-disaster. Only one day remained until Halloween.

To be continued...

Mag and ボック (also known as Bock the Third)
​

What do you enjoy most about Meep?
I’d say the community. I enjoy all the regulars that come online.

You have a peculiarly named chicken, what’s that about?
Well, after qazini killed Bock Jr., I had to get a new name for my chicken. And I chose ボック because it’s a nice name.

What does it mean?
I can’t say, because then it won’t be a secret anymore. This is “technically” Bock the Third but his name is ボック.

What do you like to do outside of Meep?
Mostly when I’m not working I either watch Youtube, Netflix, or Hulu (that last one most)

Where do you work at?
Papa Johns, but in a few months I’m going to be working for Tesla, the car company.

Exciting! What will you be doing there?
So by law, Tesla can not have dealerships outside of California. So the store that I’ll be going to can order the Teslas and have them shipped to either the store or your house.
My job would be pretty easy, most of the people coming in there have never seen Teslas so they just look at them and leave, and maybe ask a few questions about them. I’d basically just answer their questions and if anyone wants to see specs of the cars there’s a computer in the back of the store where they can spec out their own Tesla.

You like cars a lot then?
Yeah xd

What’s enjoyable about them? And why did you choose Tesla specifically?
Tesla is a revolutionary company, the first major electric car company. It’s exciting seeing the world move in that direction.

What’s your favorite fact about Teslas?
On the Tesla P100 D, it has over 7000 batteries that are a little bit bigger than a double battery. It’s the second fastest car by Tesla, it can go 0-60 in 2.2 seconds.
The Tesla Roadster is the fastest one manufactured by Tesla, and it goes 0-60 in 1.9 seconds.

Anything else you’d like to add?
R.I.P. Bock.

I would like to give a very big thank you to MeGustaYou for having this wonderful idea! and NicholasMeep and fuzzlr for assisting in creating the shop! Meep on!

 

people really don't want to read this thread

tl;dr:

• ranks are fine and staying
• it is unclear what perks are staying
• no one knows when the server will be ready
• they are putting their focus towards towny and not minigames at the moment
• there will only be one towns world
• this has nothing to do with the recent blacklisting
• klutch is going to be paying for backup plans out of his own pocket to ensure this never happens again
• the server is not open to the public, that's why there are limited people online helping rebuild it
• bans will be lifted with the reset
• mcmmo/jobs, bug fixes, rule adjustments, less punishments, taking suggestions

 

Your donation is long gone. We have been negative for months. Please dont be rude and tell us how to spend donations. Techs cost a very large amount of money.

With that said, we will be having daily backups as ill pay for them myself. Please relax, and stay positive. Telling us were doing it wrong does not encourage anyone.
