Opening Statement
"And we back and we back and we back and we back, this aint the intro this the entree"
Welcome back once again to another edition of the Times! At least here in the States, it seems as though most schools are winding down and giving way to the wonders of summer. Whether this means you are busier with summer work or have more free time than you know what to do with, hopefully you have a few minutes to catch up on whats happening on the server this week!
So as always, sit back with your favorite cold drink (*sips beer*) and enjoy this weeks edition of the MCME Times!

q220, Eriol, Will_em and I have had a meeting about how the new quiz questions for the new NPW shall look like. We have come to that they will be divided into two sorts, on one hand Multiple-choice questions with clickable chat answers (so no more typing), and to the other hand not really questions but rather information boxes about what the MCME network consists of and similar. There's still a few questions about rules whose format we want to sort out with Dyno yet.

MCME-Architect and Minigames (Testing in progress) - Dev: @Eriol_Eandur-Finrod
No progress this week.
PvP Server - Dev: @DSESGH
Last Wednesday @DSESGH invited some staff and non-staff members over to a testing session of his new PvP plugin. Other than the brittle compound of command blocks and plugin we had before DSE has now developped a plugin with a rock solid foundation and a really nice feel over all. There's still some flaws we did discover that still requires some tweaking (which is unfortunately that part of development that takes the longest to wholly complete) but we're on a very good way to a reliable PvP server again.

Like Lazarus, @CEFKILLA96 just refuses to stay down and has returned to the rank of guide! In advance lets all say welcome back, sorry to see you go, and welcome back again!
Speaking of return of the jedi, Mr @otho has also returned to the rank of designer.
@Demonataz has been found caught in a severe battle against the second great demon beside "IRL obligations": The motivation. Until he returns as victor from this fight he has been released from the duties of the designer rank.

Media of the Week
This week, I thought I would give a little teaser for what is to come in Minecraft 1.10. Personally I think this will be a great update for our server in terms of available blocks, as both cherry blossums and magma will be vary helpful around various areas of the server!
