  1. Happy November! I hope you all have a wonderful month and get to spend time with family and friends. There are lots of new things happening on EMC, so let’s dive in! ;)

    Community Team Updates
    • Build Team
      • The Halloween Event build was released last month and will remain open until at least November 13th. If you haven’t explored it yet, make sure you check it out on /games!
      • The Candy Trading event was also released last month. Head over to /event and start trading candy to win prizes! There are updates to the candy trading system, including a new prize and a new candy type. Similar to the Halloween build, it will remain open until at least November 13th.
      • The Build Team made significant progress on the Winter Event build the last couple of weeks. It will be released in December, so get ready!

    Developer Updates
    • A bug fix update was released at the end of last month. The update added the ability to hide old usernames, included a major update to the chunk system, and extended the time before a residence can be forceclaimed.
    • The update also included features for Halloween as well as fixes and minor improvements to mini games on the Games server. Changes include:
      • Simon Says now announces how many rounds the winning player survived.
      • Players are now removed from the Simon Says queue when the game ends.
      • Added a glowing effect to players in Netherspleef.
      • Added efficiency to Netherspleef shears.
      • Arrowspleef doors reopen if a player leaves the arena during the countdown.
      • Arrows will no longer break the floor after an Arrowspleef round ends.
    Please remember to report any bugs to pmdev.emc.gs!

  5. Ice boat Luge would be a cool Olympic Game. Even cooler if gravity effect could be added for increased boat speed going into turns.
  6. Thank you for the newsletter. It's exciting to get a glimpse of what is being worked on.

    Edit: I am surprised to not see a mention of Super Turkey.

  8. The Halloween build was very well designed and I loved the theme. Thanks build team for the time it took you all to create that.

    Happy November everyone. The Gobbles if they happen will always be welcomed.
