Anyway, why are you posting 1.10 comments in a 1.8/1.9 thread?

I was replying to ShelLuser but forgot to hit the reply button.

Are you the official forum mommy? Maybe you should have it added to your title.

Well, well, well.
Enderific news to lurk today, I see!

The End is within your hands, Aikar. This is a trustworthy End to The End of this great wait, and an expansion to the Empire Minecraft Universe, especially The End galaxies. Upon your return home to The Overworld, we, Endermen, Shulkers, Endermites, and even Ender Dragons, wish you to release your remaining End star dust into the near-complete nebula that allows Grand Star: 1.9 to shine.

As unusual I was describing about EMC 1.9, I wouldn't want to necessary leave anyone puzzled. I'm not going to force anyone to interpret my previous descriptions. That's why I have the optional clarifications.

For to your wonderful news to share today, Aikar, we, players, are only further trustful for bringing EMC 1.9 next week, aiming for Memorial Day. I absolutely agree to honor:
Monday May 30, 2016,
as the day to remember the arrival of 1.9 to our server network.

I now present the concrete meaning(s) of today's description from me:
__________________________________________________

*"Empire Minecraft Universe" refers to all SMP servers of the EMC network.

**The multiple appearances of "The End" and "End" were my intentions of making readers think of "an end" and "The End" dimension in Minecraft simultaneously, since MC 1.9 contains many additions/changes to The End, and this update has had long-anticipations to come.

***In the context of the description, "The Overworld" means the place where Sir. Aikar has worked to develop EMC 1.9.

****In the description, an "End Galaxy" is the Frontier End and upcoming Wastelands End worlds on each SMP server of EMC.

*****Endermen, Endermites, Shulkers, and Ender Dragons are all the mobs in Minecraft that come from The End dimension. I used them this morning as representations to the different people of the EMC community.

-Endermen & Endermites: The majority of EMC players, regardless of gender or ethnicity.

--Shulkers: The players whom browse or "lurk" though the EMC Forums. This includes people making threads and posting.

---Ender Dragons: The Staff of EMC.

Aikar,
I have my faith in you that you'll update Empire Minecraft to 1.9 next week.
Since I won't be able to give thanks on launch date, I want to do it today.

For all the challenges and difficulties you have overcome, Aikar, thank you, with heart-to-heart strength between you and us players. And sometimes, the better comes from taking sacrifices. I do see that the tributes taken will make EMC 1.9 a furthermore remarkable experience. I'd also thank your mother for making you the person you are, because for one: raising a successful person is one of best abilities of a mother. And two: to the EMC community, you're the most grateful person to keeping the network alive and still doing to this very day. No matter how dark and how long a encounter of darkness lasts, there is always light to eventually follow.

I also agree with Shel. Aikar, you are free to take a break and relax, after releasing EMC 1.9. But, you do not have to worry about MC 1.10. You have almost hit the light of EMC 1.9. I hope I, or anyone else empathizing, have motivated you.

Love & Hugs,

ForeverMaster0

I think he's happy.

I think Akair was referring to Memoridal Day, which is next Monday.

I think God of Gods was referring to you

Edit: and I totally misread your post up there as well... Oh well, let the weekend begin

Kind of? Semi-official, I'd say
