First let us begin by mentioning some changes to the thumbnails to these newspaper style blogs. There was a recent revamp to the thumbnail for all the blogs. The thumbnail here may or may not have been one so obvious as for you to notice it. The thumbnails have now a set "base" image, with black squares where I put the images normally. What's more the cost and weather sections have been replaced on the top by a large logo. What is an odd thing is that the old font used on the main logo is no longer available for usage on Paint 3D. This means that this thumbnail is completely new except for (ironically) the large "Blockly Craft" logo. That logo is recycled from last weeks issue.


Everyone
always finds it controversial when someone changes his/her name. In this case I'm referring to Justaflqamingo. Who is now known as JustaFlqmingo. Alongside this his profile picture is now changed to be that of a HIVE style flamingo.


The famed user who has been mentioned a lot in the last 3 blogs: LeLovesJazz has now finally left. I've mentioned that he'd be leaving soon, but now it's actually in effect. He is gone. His profile picture is now completely black, and he has changed his status to "Bye". He claims he may return at some point though, so there is some hope. We all agree that we want him back, and that he was a large influence on this site. I wanted to feature an obituary but couldn't get one. Instead, here is a makeshift one made by illager: We all were affected by the poet that he was. He often posted fun memes and was someone you'd think was very happy. Sadly, his last couple of wall posts became very dark, and it became noticeable he was depressed. In his time on the site, he managed to become known for good and semi-consistent content and being part of the Enderling race in lore. He later would manage to become the boyfriend to GracieMockingjay. His poems were often very fun to read. They always had some kind of rhythm that you could hear even as your inner monolog read it. He contributed to almost all the IGEBM stories in lore. And has an Illager themed version of his skin made by illager. He was a valuable member of our little society here, and it's upsetting that he is gone. "How come you can't tell it's the good ol' days until they're over?"



At this point everyone is aware of the anonpmc4528110 incident. The level 31 artesian bunny was on holiday last week and whilst she was enjoying herself her sister came on her account and convinced people that anonpmc4528110 was having heart attack symptoms and that she may be getting cancer. In the same post it was implied she was leaving PMC. This caused a lot of people to be very upset, including some of the moderation team, such as Silabear (formerly known as Silabear).


talking of Silabear, he has changed his PFP and his name. Lots of name changes are going around, as if it's some form of illness. His name is not permanent though, but he was convinced to change it for a while by BlueBoyBuilds.


illager made a blog about his lore in the IGEBM canon and it is his longest blog yet, with over 5,000 words. His vanilla PVP texture pack is also at 1,993 downloads, and it is likely it will be his first piece of content to ever hit 2,000 downloads. It was also the first to ever hit 1,000, so it would be rather ironic.



Many players are now expressing distain for the new villager changes in the recent snapshot. Villagers now no longer trade diamond armour for emeralds, and they also have specific trades depending on their home biome. Although some players didn't mind it before those same players are now beginning to dislike it more. Not everyone hates it though. Looking at YouTube polls it appears to be around 60/40. With 60% of people disliking the changes.

"Silabear (formerly known as Silabear.)"
Maybe the text should be slightly altered so people get the context.

I want to know if it's possible if I would be able to research on certain things for The Blockly Craft? Stuff like the latest news with rps, new and trending maps, and skins?

well he didn't actually contribute much to the lore outside of the latter half of War on the Nether

this was a pretty good issue :D

(and now my usual critique)

I do think you could have explained the name changes better by explaining that people were making fake alts of Blue as a joke and some people were temporarily changing their usernames to resemble Blue's, but otherwise, it's really good!
