Whaaaaaaaaaaat is up MCP Alert nation I'm your host MittyIsHere. Let's get riiiiiiiiight into the news!



Staff Members Dropping Like Flies

In the past two months alone, MCP has lost 6 staff members, 4 of which being guards. In November, Warden Miner01, Forever Not Guard Dragon1240, B-Guard NAMClub1, and (insert whatever rank he was, doesn't matter he got demoted Zs471 were all demoted. Joining them in the infamous retired staff hall is C-Guard Serrian and Mod Bagel_Thief, both of which being demoted for inactivity. Replacing Serrian_ is one of MCP's top five (maybe ten) British lads, MasterScare, further replacements may include Axeis (Probs Not), stinglikeabeedrill, and pb64! For the empty mod spot, we have a tight race between Dogtag93 and Boysocute, both are infamous players that will one day more than likely end up in MCP's hall of fame.

Christmas Points Update

With Christmas literally just around the corner, with only 9 days left. The competition is now well underway with the Christmas Points.





Boysocute has now taken the lead with a whopping 281 points in total, he currently has a 37 point lead.
Will Boysocute be victorious this year and win first place in the christmas points competition? Only time will tell as this competition heats up - it's been floating around that christmas day will be filled with events hosted by multiple players to try and win first place.

New Segment!

Starting with this issue of MCP Alert, we will be nominating a player into MCP's hall of fame. These players will be picked based off of their history with MCP and the impact they had or are making with MCP. First player to enter the hall of fame, will be the man himself, Silas_Bowen. If it weren't for this maple syrup loving man right here MCP probably wouldn't be around today. Thanks to his dedication and the community's donations, he has allowed MCP to stay up and running for five years.

Miner Breaks Silence!

Recently I have recently sat down with former warden Miner01 for a one on one interview where he has given us inside information on his demotion and the scandal surrounding it.

MCP Alert: First things first. Since your demotion how have you come to cope with once again being a player. What are the major differences you have seen between being a warden and a player.

Miner01: It was an adjustment period, learning how to eat again and running around. I miss never having to eat. And since being a regular player my life has been mostly living up to my name and mining pretty much nonstop.

MCP Alert: Now before we address the big elephant in the room, lets hear from you. When it came time for your demotion what emotions were running through you at the time? Did you feel the demotion was fair, given that other wardens have been seen doing similar things, or do you feel that the demotion was unjust?

Miner01: Sure I was sad, I had been a staff member on MCP for all but about a month of my time on this server. I dont think you are really a true MCP player/staff member until you've either been banned or demoted at least once. Sure other wardens might of done things in the past but each case should be assesed on its own merits. I own up to my mistakes and have taken my demotion well (at least i think so).

MCP Alert: Hitting the interview topic right on the head here. The who scandal surrounding your demotion involving current Mod, LittleLea. Are the accusations true or just something put together in an ill attempt to slander not only your name but the name of one of our Moderators?

Miner01: The whole "lea got miner demoted" thing is outright untrue. The bulk of the reason for my demote was the fact I generally gave out shit to lots of players (regardless of gender, player, rank etc..) Some players were actually very jealous of the attention other players received so went out of their way to try and stop that or just complain/bitch about it. However to say I favoured one person over another is untrue 99% of the time. My demote was my own doing of being "too nice" towards most players. Should I ever be fortunate to become warden again then bad ass miner will be born xD

MCP Alert: I am sure a good portion of the community would like to see you become a warden again. If and when that time comes again is a big "What if" situation. Coming into the final moments of our interview we have one more question. With the direction of MCP and Minecraft in general, what do you see happening in the future. Do you see MCP continuing to grow? And if so a bigger question is how do you think the community could change to help these new players merge better into our little community. I know over the four versions I have been present I've seen different faces of our community. The good, the bad, and hell even the ugly. Do you feel that the current look of our community is good or are there things that you feel should be changed to make more players feel the need to join us?

Miner01: Yes, people have approached me and said they hope i become warden again etc.. but thats ultimately up to Silas if he feels like he needs/wants another warden and if that person could ever be me again or not. Only time will tell.

As for the community, we have recently had quite a lot of new players join but a lot of them join but dont stick around for some reason. If only we could actually reach out to those to find out why they dont stay. The currently community is mostly friendly and welcoming so it shouldnt be that. But the player count towards peak times is definately getting bigger than it has been in recent times so hopefully this is all a good sign.

MCP Alert: Well said. That is all we have time for today. We thank Miner01 for his time to answer these questions which I hope the players of our community appreciate. Getting some pretty solid answers from Miner while giving somewhat of an inside look of his life now as a prisoner once more on the CDGS Network.

In Closing:

Miner breaks his silence, a MCP Hall of Fame and the Christmas point contest heating up MCP Alert is sure to keep you guys warm this December. If you guys liked the interview and would like to see more of them in future issues of MCP Alert tell us down below who you want us to interview and they may be featured! We will however not be taking nominations for the MCP Hall of Fame as people will be added as we continue on with the segment.

It's been a pretty slow news week this week. With the forums crashing for a day and little to no forum activity by members of the community things have been pretty slow. With the holidays quickly approaching the server and forums for that matter may slow down but don't get discouraged as it's the holidays! No matter what form of holiday you celebrate we here at MCP Alert wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

+1 I really enjoyed the read and how it keeps you informed of current events on the server.

I would like to add everyone who is or has applied for Moderator who might have a shot besides Boys and I.

The person who I think has the most chance besides the for-mentioned is Chantallylace. This player is not well known at least not by myself but looking at their mod application and assuming they are being truthful, they are a great choice for mod.
Chantallylace has vastly more experience than me and Boys and rivals us in age. I know staff isn't picked by age but I know maturity is critical especially among moderators. Good luck to you Chantallylace!

Another player who has a chance at mod is lordkillgore. This player has been around for a long time and has even been guard before. lordkillgore has heavy experience with MCP in general and I wouldn't be surprised if they made mod. Like Chantallyace I don't know this player very well but looking at how others see them, I think they have a real shot! Good Luck!

Mitt I'm surprised I didn't see your name upon the mod possibilities, considering this is your news post. This either tells me you're trying to be unbiased and leave yourself out or you don't have high hopes for making the position. Non the less Mitt has been mod before and who knows if he gets picked.

The last person applying for mod is TehZohan44. I am completely oblivious to this player but judging from their application (which leaves much to be desired!) I can't really say anything.

I thought these players deserved an honorable mention and should be considered.
