Now, after little over a week after the ended election I can finally Present the new cabinet of the British Empire to you all, BE members as well as all other inhabitants of PirateCraft!

Some might already know, others may yet still not be informed that the great election we held last month had three candidate pairs, who fought well to win the race of becoming the Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister, the two main leaders of BE.
I myself believe everyone did their best to show how they themselves would bring new light into The British Empire and guide this crew in the coming six months. I am therefore also honoured to be amond one of the two individuals who won the most votes in the election, making me the new Prime Minister of the empire and Lawzoneon, my second in command, the Vice Prime Minister.

I have in the past week been busy appointing the new upper governemnt and I can finally say I have concluded my search and I will therefore jump straight into presenting these talented individuals, whom in one way or another have shown their abilities and loyalty towards the crew.

So without further ado I would like to present to you..

Gildor_stinky – Home secretary

He will manage many of the major building projects within the empire and also control our finances

CaptainCrackerz – Minister of Defence

He will take command in all PvP related issues with foreign individuals, who pose a direct threat to the BE

BGraph – Minister of Justice

He will take care of all domestic crime, whether it be BE members being aggressive towards other crews, or stolen items from fellow British neightbours, BGraph will make sure justice is served.

Lazydog11 – Minister of Recruitment 

She will once again stand for organising the influx of new members to our great crew and train them properly in the best manner possible of the given circumstances.

Bazurka – Foreign Secretary

He will generously consider proposals from friendly crews to ally the BE and also nurture our long standing relations with our loyal friends.

PaulOnFire – Election Commissioner

Yet another successful election won’t hold back Paul, he will be with us once again in the coming election, give advice in important decisions and help manage the crew any way possible.

This is the cabinet as I have presented it to you, these are the future faces who are to manage the British Empire and make sure it does not cease to exist. We must bring fourth and build on the Foundations we created only three terms back!

Curent lords of the empire is:

Edori_an

Candidates that are up for Lordship or renewal of lordship are:

CrazyPirate1

and

Michty

Votes will be held in the BE Group shortly.

Dismissal of lords, due to inactivity::

First off, I would like to say: Yes, this is the title of an older post I made 8 months ago or something, but I assure you it is about a completely unrelated topic. Now I see that this may add to the depression, as many others are doing the same, but you may (most likely not) have wondered, “Where has ol’ Silver been lately? He’s rarely on and stays for only a short amount of time.”  Well, I am deeply sorry to say that the time has indeed come for me to move on. As my young (not so much) days come to an end, I now must focus on my future. I’m greatly sorry to say that this is the “end of the path” for me. I do hope you realize how much I will miss the server and all of you that I have encountered in the past year. I may reappear occasionally for a short visit, see how things are and have been, but do not expect much more from me.

As a result of my disappearance, I will distribute my personal possessions to some old friends, to show my great appreciation of how their presence had impacted my days on the server as a whole. First thing I’d like to say, my town, Port Gletscher, will rightfully be given to one of my most trusted officials, build1115, for his service and for simply being there to give the place life. All other possessions will be passed, come my last “real” day.

Before I end this post, I’ll like to share a few words for the many people who I have encountered: (Yes iGreed/ _OPM_ did the same thing, but it’s effective and necessary!)

– Reptaria (And the Elven Empire) – Rep, you’ve come so far since we first met. I remember the day as if it happened hours ago. And I know I might have hurt you and your crew/empire the most, but I do hope you forgive me on that matter. And let’s say I did suffer for it. You recruiting me a year ago was the one thing that kept me on the server, if you didn’t, then I wouldn’t stand here today. I greatly appreciate what you have done for me in the past, and I hope the best for your future.

– The British Empire – Now the crew/empire is so big and there are many names I’d like to mention, yet that would take way too long. I’ll list a few names who I believe have impacted me the most on here. Starting off with Michty: You were the one who brought me into the BE, where I have met many great people and got to get a taste of what the server really was like. You top my list, as you have helped me a great deal here, and I will never forget that. You were the one who gave me a home, a highly active crew, a new beginning, and running into may have been the best thing that happened to me on this server. CaptainCrackerz: You always seemed to be the one who made me enjoy the BE the most. You’re great to talk to and have little to no biased opinions. I enjoyed your company in the town, and hope the best for you. Lawzoneon, Keto, Knight, and Bislo: You all have made the BE alive in one way or another. Like Crackerz, I enjoyed talking to all of you and fighting by your side, even in the most devastating battles. I wish the British Empire a good may months to come, and farewell.

– NickyB_123 (And the Thirteen Colonies) – Yeah, my time in the crew was short, but I thought I’d show my appreciation anyway. Things may not go as entirely planned, and things may get rough, as I noticed before I kicked the bucket. But I wish the crew good luck in getting back together. And I really do appreciate the short time I spent in the Colonies. Good luck and good day.

– CoV – Bet most of you didn’t see this coming. Yeah I may have gotten the life kicked out of me by you guys. But you know me, can’t resist the feeling of an arrow in my head. All in all, I enjoyed playing on the server with you guys, mostly when it’s against those… people… I’ve held to my ways as a peaceful guy, but I did need a release every now an then. Cysteen, I enjoyed talking to you, you have helped me a lot during the past month, and made my final days worth the trouble. Dagersh, I may have not talked to you much, but I always found you an interesting (very) guy. Go easy on the candles man, not good for you. Elexandre, oh, shocked? No likely, as I seem to feel that it is impossible to shock you in any way. And I must say, I did enjoy your little “visits” as it’s always good to see a new face… for a split second until the flashes. I admit it, I needed a good death here and there.

For those I did not list, and you know who you are, I still appreciate all you have done for me in my time on PirateCraft. For now, I must carry on and focus on reality. I do hope to return occasionally, and hopefully see the server grow even further. – Silverstone47

P.S. – Yes this was posted on April 1st, known as April Fools Day, but this is seriously not a joke. However, it would’ve been the best “April Fool” I have made in a LONG time. But no, this is legit.

Recently, @GodsDead posted this image:

Some interesting observations:

• The image is rather old, but I doubt anyone would be able to tell exactly how old it is, except maybe @LawVinsmoke.
• To the north-west from spawn we can see the British Railway system, that connects DirectorAnivian‘s base, DakotaReef / Bazurka‘s base, and Province of Canada.
• There are 4 types of claims: red claims, green claims, blue claims, and green claims with black borders. It doesn’t take long to realize that blue claims are administrator‘s, but what do other colors mean?
• As @Crazy Pirate mentioned in the original topic, some of the claims appear to be missing.
• Always wanted to build an island base? Use this map to find a free island!

Thanks to @GodsDead, @Crazy Pirate, and @LawVinsmoke:

• Green claims belong to inactive players (approximately 3 months).
• Green claims with black borders belong to inactive players, but they have some active trustees.
• Blue claims belong to admins.
• Red claims belong to active players.
• The claim data is about a week old, the map itself is a few weeks out of date (some time around January).

Lithvather’s Vault Updated!

Today I was lucky enough to get back to do a follow-up in Lithvather’s vault to check out some of the new things he had added. I was amazed to say the least, to see all the change that had happened since the last time I had been there and I was happy to take some of pics to cover the new additions to the place. Sadly, some of those pictures were accidentally deleted so some will be added to the next newspaper that I can get back to the vault. Thanks again to Lith for letting me stop by his place yet again, and I can’t wait to see what you have to show me next time I come around!

The Batmen!

A few days ago I was led into a room that _Lego_ had built to be shown something I cannot say I have ever seen in my entire time on minecraft. This was none other than his batcave! _Lego_ had captured two bats and had put them in their own little home.  These two cute beasties were sleeping when I took the shot, but if you look hard enough at the top right of the pic you’ll see both beauties!

JavaInvader’s Love…

So tonight after a huge battle between CoV (defending Asterity’s land) and Solis (the attackers) I was finally able to rest at peace after I was allowed to do a certain thing. Watch the video to see what happened… (Thanks again Asterity) 😀
