Evocal devastated much of the
Avicus community by announcing
that Para and he would be resigning, due to the fact that they were not treated properly, and overstress. Some of us did not treat them well, which forced them to resign. Map Devs dont grow on trees, and we shouldve known that. <Retirement thread by Evo> However, being the dedicated people they were Para announced on August 31, 4:37 PM PDT that the map developing team was back with two new additions! Itaity and AwarriorVenom were warmly wel- comed into the map developing team. Hopefully, now with so many map developers, map processing would be sped up and their stress levels will plummet. Horrible news was changed into incredible news only in a matter of days. Look forward to speedier updates, more feedback, and an overall, bet- ter map team. Dont forget to convey your gratitude to the map developers periodically, and congratulate the newly promoted! :D We must not make the same mistake that drove Evo and Para out before. <Good News> Map Developing Team Increases! newspaper but this time we want to create a flashy suc- cessful newspaper for all of you Avicus regulars!

iately discovered he was hacked by his OWN friend! D: We were all fooled, into believing he actually retired for the second time. Finally, things were cleared up, Peachy was given his rank back and the leaving thread was archived. How did the hacker fool us? Well, because his friend, Peachy says, knows me as well as my parents. This wasnt the first time he was hacked. When Peachy was first pro- moted, he was hacked by the same friend... into banning random people. Good think thats all fixed. Now, peachums is back on the job dont break the rules OR HELL BANZ U! :o:P Peachy Haxxy later interviews, it was also found that pizza had still stayed in touch with Avicus, keeping up to date with virtually everything STALKING US :O It seems he has changed his skin too :O Stay tuned, soon pizza may be back ready to enslave us with his mighty pvp skills once again. :P All hail Lord Pizza. On September 1, 2014, at 9:55PM, retired mod pizza (pizza334) made an appearance on the forums, giving false hope to some by making them be- lieve he was com- ing back.

3 PG3 Staff Losses The staff team has been quite shaky lately. At first, moderators Zieno and Doozie were demoted. Peachy fol- lowed, retiring falsely, only later did we find out he was hacked and his rank later restored. Quite awhile after that, D00ZiE was repromoted. :D Sadly, not long after that, Theo re- tired, a moderator who served us well and retired several times previously, but was convinced to come back. :c Now, just two days ago, Howsie tem- porarily retired, due to intensive school. :c On the bright side, there always is something to fill in the bad, such as the re-promotion of our map develop- ers and the of more. Hopefully, Howsie will return soon, to lead avicus to glory. ;p As for now, the staff team is down to 25 members. For those of you that are wonder- ing since Howsie is gone will ap- plications be delayed? The answer is no. AviGill will sacrifice his time to take on his fellow Directors responsi- bilities, meaning he will make sure the applications will open on time, and replenish our diminished staff popula- tion. :D The 3 staff, who served us well. Recent Server Issues Recently, Avicadi- ans have been receiv- ing quite a lot of lag. It became hard to pvp or move. However, that wasnt enough for the Lag god, he had to create host prob- lems and crash Avi- cus and its website for quite awhile. Rumor has it that the down- time was because a certain player [confidential] reported By Trident By Trident yet another prob- lem, the ip avic.us gave them the error Unknown Host. Luckily, that error was resolved quite speedily. However, there still is mild server lag, although not as bad and we have Ivy to thank for doing a good job on that. :D avicus for Mojangs nasty EULA. Then, a day or so after- wards, players were faced with Scope 54E6 picks up random player lagging in PvP. Leaderboard

6 PG6 The Jinxed Update. Minecraft 1.8 was just recently released, which was an up- date many had looked forward to The key features were: name changes, resource pack updates, new water temple/mobs, armor stands, more commands, block-hit visual removal, re- duced clicking speed, new options, SPECTATOR GAMEMODE, game rules, scoreboards, blocks, items, world types, rabbits and mutton, and much much more. The full list is here. 1.8 is called the bountiful update, but in reality it actually is the Jinxed Up- date. Quite a lot of misfortune seemed to have followed 1.8. Awhile before it was released, Mojang enforced and edited their EULA, prohibiting servers from selling parts of Minecraft, such as kits. This EULA caused a lot of trouble, including community upris- ings. Some Minecraftians became so enraged, they teamed to- gether and DDOSd the Minecraft servers for quite a while. This was when Minecraft started edging towards the road to death. Just recently, Bukkit was forced to shut down, due to EULA, yet Mojang prohibited them, claiming they had bought Bukkit 2 years ago, which they did but they never bothered to help Buk- kit with their troubles. 25 of the Bukkit developers quit, pretty much the entire developing team. Mojang claims Bukkit 1.8 will be released but will it? There are only 2 DEVs, Grum and Din- nerbone... who are already engaged in Mojang affairs Along with all the misfortune, Avicus seemed to have a huge drop in players, due to school. Avicus also began experiencing extreme server lag, and time-outs. These many reasons, com- bined with yet even more, make Minecraft 1.8 the jinxed update and not to men- tion I can no longer play Mine- craft on my main computer after 1.8 JINX link
By Trident Skool Sux ;O The Avicus population dwindles, as it faces its worst enemy, school. Due to school, Avicus now only has 70-150 average players online on the weekdays. Some people even consider Avicus as dying. As if that werent bad enough...lots of staff have retired, due to school. Im not saying school is bad, obvi- ously. School is necessary. But really, its caused us quite some grief. Along with the everyday NONNONONONO THERES SCHOOL! D:, and the typical, cant I just sleep one more minute? theres the pain of looking at a dying server or rather, it seems so. Several threads have been cre- ated about this, and discussions soar high. Hopefully, Avicus will make it through, so what WAS the max in summer, becomes the mini- mum in the school year. I hope you all do well in this school year... both in school and in Avicus. LONG LIVE AVICOOOOSSS!!! ;p

Hey there, trident here... today I would like to talk about Avicus dying. Avicus may seem like its dying, but its not its mainly just school. However, if the current problems arent fixed it may die. The main problems are: slow updates and server issues. Both of these issues can be fixed with just one thing. New Developers. Some of you may be wondering WHY ISNT IVY HIRING ANY MORE DEVS? Picking Developers isnt an easy task, they have to be both a)skilled and b)trustworthy. A developer has the power to ruin the entire server. Now that really isnt what we want right? For now all we can do is wait and be patient, until Ivy gets more developers. Hopefully we will have about 2-4 skilled developers eventually, and Avicus will start growing once again. Now, another issue is school obviously, but its just life. Weve gotten used to the insane amount of people during the sum- mer we just have to get used to it, sadly. In the best case scenario, some popular youtuber stumbles onto Avicus and makes a giant series about it that will get us a ton of players and if we have enough developers and staff to handle that that would be just awesome. Another problem I hear about lately is the hacker problem. I really think NCP should be tweaked, to be more lenient in CTH and to block all autoregen that hack is just too op. Now flying, too is an obvious hack yet if NCP was turned high on this one there would be a lot of NCP teleporting and whatnot. If only some of these old suggested staff tools were implemented: http://avicus.net/forums/d96306342?page=1 ;c
