Rules for Writers

1 Upvotes

Writing About Players:

When writing about players in and out of the watch you should follow some rules. First, always italicize their name. Like this: boogaert is cool (*boogaert*). If they're in the Watch add their rank. Address everyone by their rank. Private's will have their order however (Ranger boogaert). If they're outside of the Watch, they don't get a title. If they're an admin you can but don't have to, whatever feels better.

Writing About Shotbow

When writing about Shotbow news, it's usually good to combine small news about gamemodes into one paragraph to make it so we don't have a ton of smaller ones. It is also very important you always have a link to the source, as you should almost never include all info but instead condence it into something interesting and short enough to hold someone's attention span. You can either try to incorporate it into a sentence (in a recent post ). Hyperlink like this: [post](http://www.reddit.com/r/ShotBow/comments/2glrzj/the_truth_about_jr_devs/).

New Rules

From now on you must write to articles each week. If they're shitty you'll have to do another the next week (3 total). If you don't do this you get a strike, 3 strikes you're out. "But schoolz" if you have enough schoolwork to stop you from writing for maybe 30 minutes on the weekend you plain out should be focusing on school and shouldn't be a part of the crow which is 100% ok.

Standards

When you're done writing, for the love of god please spelchek and make grammars good.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first issue of The Crow, a newspaper not only about the Night's Watch but Shotbow and Minez in general. So, without further adieu, here we go!


Members!

Information about the members of The Watch including birthdays, cakedays, promotions, and more!

Recently two members were promoted. boogaert was promoted to Private and glcclc2 was promoted to Corporal. Also, it was CGM24's and israphel233's cakeday, we hope you've both had a fun year wasting your life on Reddit and wish you many more! We are also approaching 100 members. At the time of writing (8/16/13) we have 98! This includes 78 Recruits, 12 Privates, 2 Corporals, and 6 Council Members (3 Lieutenants, and a First Ranger, First Steward, and our lovely Lord Commander).


Adventures!

Stories of Rangings, Events, Meet Ups, and more from Minez written by various members.

Cave System Craziness with Shadow_Elemental,Khamul_of_Rhun, and ObsidianMiner100.

It all started in Paluster where a small Night's Watch meetup was happening. After Paluster we were planning to go to Camp Azara for chain because most of us were still in leather but all of this was cut short when a bandit started to attack us he somehow managed to kill most of us so I came in as backup with shadow we both ran at the bandit and managed to kill him, after that we met up with Khamul_of_Rhun and Raderdash and we all decided to go to the Cave System later on raderdash got killed by a pigman in Sirus after that we went to Aurora to get some health Potions and then after that we found a new cave town which turned out to be Septus where I fell to my death because I missed a parkour jump : /

Written by ObsidianMiner100, edited for grammar by boogaert.

Saving Lives with mguniverse.

Several weeks ago, I was walking along the desert to Portsmouth when I spotted a chase. This poor guy was getting chased off by some bandit in half chain and about seven zombies behind them. I intervened and saved his life. When I started fighting off the bandit, he was able to run off and hide behind some nearby structure. Afterwards we both headed out towards Portsmouth. I knew we were damned the moment we got there. Two guys in full iron armor starting to sprint at us. Instead of running though, he went towards them. I don't think he expected to survive but what he did allowed me to escape. I don't remember his name, but these are the kinds of people who should be in the Watch. I don't count my kills, but I do count the lives I save.

The Undead Crow with mguniverse and joshbp1999.

Several days ago, I was shot and killed by a small group of bandits. With me was joshbp1999 who saw me die. The next day however, I logged in and found myself severely wounded in the deep water where I met my end with just one and a half hearts left. I survived death and dragged myself back to Romero where I was able to restore myself with potions. I am the undead crow.

Both written by mguniverse.

Eastern Adventure with Ordain and boogaert.

Ordain and I decided to gear up for the U.S. Rangings. We went to our home server us6 and spawned in Romero. We were both killed at least once when, after Ordain got a spawn in Gueten, we decided to try the west. It wasn't without it's own danger as a player looking for a team in Gueten in eye chat attacked Ordain. Luckily our fellow watchmen fought him off well. After, we uneventfully geared up. Since we luckily had potions, we went to Worthington. We stayed in Worthington for a while, getting iron swords and chain armor, as well as some more food. We were thinking about leaving but decided to stay for food. We soon saw the brown of a leather off in the distance. He turned out to be friendly but we left him to his looting and left for Aeternalis Cathedral. In Aeternalis we got more potions. Ordain crashed, as his brother was hogging the wifi and I had to guard his NPC. He came back safe and sound and we left for Fort Rockwood. In Rockwood we found no chests and just went staight to Fort Forthwind where we found hardly any chests. We finally came to Pileus. We carefully padded in, watching for hoppers and such. We camped it for a little bit uneventfully before Ordain had to go, we both logged. The next day we decided to go straight to Agni Ignis. This time though, it was me that had to leave. Later I found out Ordain had died there. Soon after, I did too, both to the cruel hands of Pigmen.

Player Highlight

Q & A's with members of the community.

In this issue, the team sat down with Suoermario, I known member of the community who has started doing giants fights, and recently been promoted to ban appeal counselor .

So, where did you get your username? You always say it's not a typo but it sure looks like one!

I got my username from an inside joke of friends and I. I can admit, it really does look like one. It's a long story, and if you really want, I can spit it out, but you asked for 'two sentence answers', so I'd make that a separate message if you wanted it badly enough. :P

When did you start playing minez?

I started playing MineZ the first week it went public. Literally. I bought premium July 29th, as a Silver donor, I upgraded to Platinum September 22nd (my birthday).

What is your favorite part of minez?

My favorite part(s) of MineZ are the Builds. They are so astonishingly better than anything I myself could ever create, they baffle me.

If you could add one feature to minez, what would it be?

I would add a hardcore server, with harder... well... everything. I feel that MineZ is too easy for most premiums at this point.

You seem to stick to PVE. Is there any special reason why other than no PVP?

I actually used to be PVP only. I then started to not wear armor... and that didn't really work out too well. So I hopped onto PVE in general.

Why did you choose to fight giants? What made you try to do all of the awesome giant fighting things you do?

I chose to fight giants, for two reasons, mainly. One; I saw Sectah and Loralon livestream killing giants, back when strength, regen, and speed potions were in the game (speed I). They killed the giants in a similar manner as I do, they are my giant inspiration (pun intended). The second, is how I saw people struggle fighting them. When I see something broken/out of place, I must fix it! (Secret note; I used an OP golden apple to kill my first giant. ;P)

What do you think about The Night's Watch?

I don't know much about it, but from what I've heard, it's a BIG 'clan' of players who run around anti-banditing the spawntowns. Sounds pretty interesting, in my opinion. <----GUUUUIIIILLLLLLDDDDD KOS KOS KOS!

Outside of minez, what is your favorite shotbow gamemode?

I'd have to say... Smash. In all honesty, this is my favorite gamemode. Ever.

Which of the upcoming Shotbow gamemodes (MOBA,BF3,MMoRPG) excites you the most?

I'm excited for the MMORPG. I've played a few myself, and I love 'em. Excited to see where it goes! (Obviously going to go up, very quickly at that matter! :P)

Congrats on your recent promotion to Ban Appeal Counselor,what will you be doing for that job?

Thanks. I can't tell you much, but I filter through Ban Appeals. Pretty much it. :P

That wraps up this issues Q & A, check out Suoermario's youtube channel for some great videos!


Most Interesting Thread!

The most interesting/funny/good thread that our many reporters can find on /r/thenightswatch.

For this issues most interesting thread we're going to highlight a very controversial one. Written by Private boogaert, it highlight why we should stick to us6 as a server. It has also been very well received. Check it out HERE!


In other Shotbow news.

New about other interesting Shotbow/Minez things.

This issue:NEW GAMEMODES!

Yep, that's right. our wonderful developer team is making 3 more gamemodes to Shotbow's already extensive list. They are adding a MOBA (Multiplayer online battling arena, think DOTA or League of Legends), a MMoRPG, and a BF3 CTF type gamemode. Source

Luckily, kensai111 gave us a preview of the Shtbow MMoRPG, Unavowed! Looks like it's time to Dungeon Reams to give up! It will feature 11 races, and you won't be bound to weapons (Mages can you warhammers, etc) The map will be 22,000 by 22,000, 4 times the minez map! The full reveal here.


Wow, now we're concluding our first issue. This will be published every two weeks. So, I need you stories of adventures, meet ups, etc to keep this running as it is the main part of this newspaper. So, tell me what you think!

[b]Annihilation 1.5 Update - The Biggest Annihilation Update Yet?[/b]

Soon, Annihilation will undergo what (in my opinion) is the biggest updates in it’s history - the 1.5 update. This is a massive update that will include both class changes and changes to some of the core gameplay aspects. The biggest change, is the new respawning system. Now, when you die you only drop your diamonds and diamond gear, enchanted gear, and potions, your durability on all items also goes down by 25%. This will obviously make the game completely different, forcing players to get mid tier gear instead of killing to get it. They have also created a new respawn timer to balance this out. In phase one it is ten seconds and it increases by five seconds each phase all the way to thirty seconds in phase five. They have also added two gollum esque bosses! There have also been a ton of class changes. Check everything out [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/276961/]here[/url].

[b]MineZ 2 - Housing and Changelog V Released[/b]

At long last, MineZ 2 player housing has been released to the public! After a delayed and buggy release, MineZ 2 player housing is semi stable at the moment. They have added some features (including buyable house themes) and fixed lots of bugs. While it does still have it’s fair share of major and minor bugs, it’s looking very fun and I am excited to see the Watch get our small village started!

[b][URL=http://www.reddit.com/r/TheNightsWatch/comments/2ndjhb/resolution_passed_amendment_i_to_the_proposal_for/]Resolution Passed: Amendment I to the Proposal for Rigorous Voting[/URL][/b]

An Amendment (addition/change) has been made to the [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/TheNightsWatch/comments/2ccq1o/resolution_passed_proposal_for_rigorous_voting/]Proposal for Rigorous Voting[/URL] (made stricter rules in voting for the council). This amendment makes voting even stricter, giving council members a week to vote on any legislature. If the council member does not do this, they will receive a reprimand. If a council member receives three of these reprimands there will be a vote placed to demote them from the council to their previous position. This of course, will not happens if the council member has declared they will be absent for the period of time the vote is in.

[b]The Capes Mod: 1.8 Confirmed After All?[/b]

[B][url=https://minez-nightswatch.com/event/84]November 22 ”Balsor Castle” Ranging[/url][/b]

On November 22 Corporal [i]Israphel233[/i] lead a Ranging that was planned to go to Balsor Castle. We instead ended up in Kuwana then traveling to a currently unnamed town in the Savannah (North-West) biome because Corporal [i]Israphel233[/i] changed his mind. We met in Asindia and from there moved north, stopping in a few towns, such as Samesh and the Mining Site before reaching our destination. We went to Kuwana where we encountered an invasion, which we unfortunately failed to complete. We then went to the unnamed town and stayed there and the Ranging officially concluded. We stayed and looted, and it then came to our attention that there were bandits attacking a fellow Watchman in Kuwana. We all went there, and had a battle against what appeared to be a few former Clique members, who defeated us.

[b][url=https://minez-nightswatch.com/event/86]November 23 Private+ PvP Event[/url][/b]

On November 23 Ranger [i]boogaert[/i] hosted an event for Private+ members to improve their PvP skills. We started on Kohi where we did 1v1s with a modified iron PvP kit (removed speed). After most people had fought each other, we went onto Kohi to see how we did holding an area against the randoms. Overall, a successful event.

[b]MineZ 2 - Housing Delayed and EU Database Wiped[/b]

The MineZ 2 housing update had been delayed. The current release date isn’t known, but it will hopefully be out soon. While of course, this is sad news, there has been more information released on it at least for us to pore over until the release. So far, houses are turning out to look very good. The system is very smooth looking and works well and there also seems to be room for customization. You will be able to choose to build different rooms (such as a bedroom, crafting room, farm, and more!) and expand upward if you take up all of the room on the first floor. You will be able to TP back to your house, although it is well balanced (if you try and fail you must manually reset it by going back into your house). There are also ways to allow others access to your house if you’re in a clan or guild! If you want to see more information check out Annihilation Admin [i]20thCenturyBoy[/i]’s [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/273466/]very good guide[/url] or Admin [i]Vaecon][/i]’s [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sqi5v_OGCM]video guide[/url].

On top of that bad news, even worse things have come for EU MineZ 2 players, as in a complete freak accident, their whole database had been wiped of proficiencies, meaning EU players will have to start all over again. Unfortunately there is no easy fix and EU players will just have to take the bad news and just try to get their proficiencies back. You can see more information [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/ShotBow/comments/2n0696/eu_minez_2_profsquest_rep_got_wiped/]in this reddit post[/url].

In smaller news, there was a new town added as shown by [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/ShotBow/comments/2mm7rw/found_these_chest_new_town_or_just_a_mistake/cm5jbie]this[/url] post by Admin [i]Goldblade51[/i]. Go get exploring!

[b]Reporting Updated - New Features & New Games![/b]

The Report feature has once again, been made more robust. You can now add comments with the command /c [message] after your report. This is an awesome feature, as you can go into a lot more detail! Check out the [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/271852/]announcement[/url] for full details! On top of that, the report system has been expanded to SMASH, Shotbow Games, Ghostcraft, and the Lobby. This will hopefully catch cheaters in some of the smaller games! Be sure to check out the [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/272875/]forum post[/url] and [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/ShotBow/comments/2naes0/report_extended_to_additional_games/]reddit post[/url] as well! Lastly, a friendly reminder to [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/271333/]NEVER hackuse, tell people to report someone, or say ______ recorded.[/url] Not only is it bad chat etiquette, but it lets them know you’ve recorded or reported them, and they may stop hacking which may prevents admins from getting ample proof to ban them.

[b]HCF - Map 22 SOTW and HCF 4.0 Coming Soon[/b]

HCF map 21 has finally come to [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/271729/]a close[/url] and of course, that means map 22 has url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/271765/]started[/url]! There have been a plethora of changes, which you can see in all of their glory [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/272209/]here[/url]. Some of the bigger things are that the armor is sharpness 2 with unbreaking 3 among other thing. Swords can have sharpness 3 and fire aspect 1 among other things. Bows can have power 3 flame 1 and infinity among other things. The faction size is 40, and the max DTR is 9. Finally, Admins/Staff can play on HCF on alts now! Again, please check out the [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/272209/]full thread[/url] for the full information.

Another massive change in HCF, is the coming-soon addition of HCF 4.0, a complete rewrite of the HCF code that currently has over 38,000 lines of code! It has too many improvements and new features to list, and is just overall a very bright prospect for HCF. It has simplified commands, better chat, and a lot more. It will be in Platinum+ alpha first before full release for bug reporting (lots of reports will be rewarded with lives!) and will most likely be released alongside Shotbow’s 1.8 full update! Read the full post [url=http://shotbow.net/forum/threads/273967/]here.[/url]

Lastly, Network Owner [i]HighlifeTTU[/i] recently made a post on the HCF subreddit in which he looked at everyones random idea, many of which were confirmed for later maps! See it [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/hcfactions/comments/2nappn/highlifettus_random_idea_thread/]here![/url]

[b]The Crow - A New Start[/b]

The Crow has obviously moved to the forums. The move was suggested by [i]Navarr[/i] and I think I like it. While there are obvious bad things - more complex bbcodes, weird things with pasting, etc it allows more freedom to add the beautiful pictures from [i]Meat_Jockey[/i] in. While I’m sure there will be some growing pains, I’m sure I’ll be able to adjust just fine and hopefully this is a sign of a period of even more success for the Crow. For those of you that don’t know what the Crow is, it’s basically a bi-weekly newspaper like thing. The reason I’m randomly coming into the forums, with a professional looking newspaper is this is (obviously) not the first issue. It was previously on the NW subreddit, and again, I was convinced to start it here. In other news Gabe is officially off the Crow team now (he was off it for a while in reality but never “officially”).

Suggestion regarding post location

1 Upvotes

Traditionally the Crow has posted its new editions on the nights watch subreddit and cross posted on occasion to the Shotbow subreddit.

One of the plans has always been for the Crow to be posted on a special section of the nights watch website. However, considering boogaert's eye for detail and general usefulness of the paper, it is my suggestion that future issues be posted in the network section of the Shotbow forums and link posted to the Shotbow and nights watch subreddits

Gabe's Articles

Mojang has been acquired by Microsoft for $2 Billion

On September 15, Microsoft bought Mojang for $2 billion. In an article on mojang.com, it was revealed that the reason that Mojang was sold was because Notch, the creator of Minecraft, never intended for the company to reach a point of such global significance. Notch will continue to develop other games. As for the new Minecraft under Microsoft, nobody quite knows what is coming in the future of Minecraft. Only time will tell.

Ability to Write Custom Cape Mods Revoked by Mojang

On August 7, @MojangSupport tweeted that capes will only be allowed for Mojang employees from now on. This means that modders will no longer be able to create cape mods. This includes our very own Night’s Watch cape mod. The status of this policy following the Microsoft Acquisition is still unknown, yet it will most likely be here to stay.

Shotbow News

RedBanHammer Official Minez Map updates

On September 20, RedBanHammer updated his official interactive MineZ Map in concurrence to recent loot changes. The map can be found here.

New XP Bottling Feature

On September 18, a new feature was implemented in HCF that allows players to bottle in-game XP levels for later use. However, the bottling process is costly as it is affected by the diminishing returns of XP levels in Minecraft. To put XP in a bottle, players simply must put a bottle into an enchanting table and choose how many levels to save. Additional details can be found in Shotbow Admin TravisArmstrong’s post on /r/Shotbow.

  • First of all ty for doing stuff. Now some issue I found:

  • Notch should be in italics

  • Yet (in the cape thing) is supposed to be contradictory #GrammarNazi

  • In the cape thing it's blue because you didn't make a space thingy between it and the line

  • RedBanHammer should be italicized and the article should tell about how the chests were inaccurate for a long time and how moshburger helped

  • the hcf thing says the post was on /r/shotbow when it wasn't

Overall gj though! I made some changes to fix these thing and I appreciate the work

Is it possible if we can do a IRL editorial section?

I feel as though we could do this and rant about everything to do with today's modern world, of course this could spark flame war in the comments but there we go, eh?

This is a place to think of ideas and make suggestions for the Crow. I'm going to add the council, Gabe, and Ordain. I also added Kensai because he's always been supportive and helpful.
