War of the Curators

After ONE of the diamonds once used to purchase the Mayor a few weeks back had been transferred from the cold, underground exposition room of the library to a cherished pedestal in the museum, the second diamond of the library was swindled by a third party. In retaliation, Salt has heisted the Grand Spawntown Museum, stealing the precious artifact.
It's since been brought back to the dingy basement, which recently seemed to have some flooding problems, as the museum aquired the True Original Diamond with the certification to prove it!

Mysterious growths

A strange botanical ailment has struck Lucy's vacant lot, next to the library; after interview, Lucy herself has no idea of the source of this aggressive vegetation.
A flock of suspended animals have been set up in an effort to slow down it's spread; lets just hope it is effective

SMP Team

As you've probably seen on discord, theres a new team that's officially in place to help you out on the Server! Lost, Lucy, Slingki and myself are really thrilled to be there to help the server run smoothly

A word from the mayor

As usual, Spawntown keeps growing!! New locations includes Creator Tool's, the Bargain Tent, and the great Spawtown Library!
Donate 10 (unique) books to gain a free library card; or just pay the 2 diamond fee for one :)

Train Empire

The railworks just keep expanding! ST's winding upward track has received a great tunnel from Dark_hero, A line to Lucy's finally been completed thanks to Dark and Dave, And a new No Parking Poster is now available for free at the Train Hall!

Hall of Nation

If you've got a need 4 speed, you MUST try Lucy's redstone bolt. Accessible right thru the roof over the nether spawn. Just pick up a minecart, set it on the line, hop in and press the button!! ANd once you reach the halfway point, you can go again!!
For the best experience, we do recommend boosting your render distance, or waiting for a friend to fly alongside you; as it goes so fast, there is a chance the bolts stop due to the pistons not loading in time
Just be wary if you end up wanting to pop in for a visit to Lucy's mind-boggling base; it's not for the faint of computers.
Be sure to pick up a totem on your way in.

Little Updates

We're saddened to report devastating news ab Lucy's titanesque armor trim project; it's display ends up causing massive TPS damage. The lag inconsistent, we'll have to figure out some other way than having it in the middle of her base.

The Derby is ON

Come on down to the Plaza, where we're setting up the MMD right as this issue is getting published! Spawntown may look a little different for the weekend, on account of the event! But dont worry, it'll be back to normal once it's over.

The Ablockalipse?!

It was Monday evening, tranquil as ever. When suddenly. A crash. The server, kaput. Not only dead, but unable to come back online. Diseased chunks, preventing resuscitation. Fear struck our heart.
Murmurs of a rollback. Eleven hours, lost to the void. No, this could not do. Pruning the infected chunks? Over half of Spawntown's government structures, wiped back to genesis. There had to be another way.

Caused by some strange schematic cannon deregulation, attempting to place a block in an unloaded chunk, this vile affliction caused much worry. As the world held it's breath, Dejojo performed emergency surgery, an attempt to minimize damage.
We ended on the best of both world; rolling back only the affected chunks; the only casualties, Death's inventory. Which unfortunately, included half of the city's lot sale profits.

ST keeps on going

Spawntown is as busy as ever! Shops are slowly growing around town, and in the works is an index of all the shops to be available onn the Town Page! There still are plenty of lots available of all types available to purchase, feel free check it out!

Come for a Spin!

Feeling lucky? A brand new casino as popped up in SpawnTown, offering not one but three minigames for you to gamble on! Get your diamonds ready and go for a spin at Mukimonzy's Casino! Hop down the dumpster behind the Grab n' Go for a dizzying experience!

Little Updates

Looking for a shop space, but dont want to build a structure? Mukimonzy is renting out the second floor of one of his buildings to anyone interested!
We want to give our best wishes of recovery to Wither, who had surgery earlier this week! You made it king!

Elections in Motion!

As of the release of this issue, you may now vote to elect the future Mayor of Spawntown! We encourage you to get informed and scout your options before heading to train hall and deposit your vote!

Through the nether! Thanks to our Minister of Demolition Lucy, roof of the nether has literally been blown away over spawn! [may 1st edit: Thank you to the Davemane42 who answered the call and made the nether side all pretty!]

Missing Child

Anguish strikes as Baby Gronk, Wither's sweet darling boy, has gone missing. Last seen in company of Lizzie, sources suspect Baby Gronk might have stolen a vehicle and drove away; without a liscence, no less! If you see him, contact kxnews or the Perduta Family.

A Masterful collection

End's End?

AGHAST! Travelers voyaging to the End are set to encounter a rather bleak destination: the glorious island of endstone uppon which rests the Dragonhenge is no more! A sign left behind seems to indicate the Perduta family is behind this development, having, apparently, devoured it?! Fucked up.

Little updates

Braincells are on the rise! Right before publication, Arkraven mmanaged to claim the 100th point. Congrats!

Spawntown in Motion

Things have been stirring around spawn! Letdeathcome has gernerously invested his time and expertise bulldozing the city's zoning, and terraforming the surrounding area to blend it together. Davemane mukimunzi, Hobtaku, 3ds_parakeet and myself have lent a hand in the cleanup of this titanesque construction site; next up, infrastructure!

The great census

After a week of hubbub things seems to be somewhat settling down, crews formed, bases established.
If you are ready to register as Official Braincell Citizen, please make your way to the temporary kx news stand, located near the spawn nether portal!

Unending Death

Concern is on the rise for Lucy_hehe, who, as many of you must've noticed, cannot seem to stay alive for more than a handful of minutes. With 275 death racked up at the time of publication, we can't help to ponder; cant a girl get herself some feather falling?
 

FRI. APRIL 12, 2024

A bright new dawn rises.... but not for long! In the first 24 hours of the Smog and Cogs season of the Braincell SMP, industralisation has already made its way... Spawntown has not yet be formed, but just give us a week or two :)

Present members were: Lost, Solar, Turners, Fazcat and iTzRenigad

Braincells!

We neurons are on the grind! At time of publication, 5 points had already been accumulated; tough due to some unforseen turn of event, we got an extra point. The very first submission was by Turners and Ducky_boy with a cobblestone 5x
