Zman becomes a mod
Why did you apply for Tyro?
This server has given me so many memories and fun times, I wanted to be able to help others have such a good experience as I did. I was a staff member on the server I played before this, so I brought with me some experience when I joined Craftyn. After hearing that my tyro application had been accepted, I was very excited to see what the future held for me in my time on Craftyn.
How did you feel when you became mod?
I am very honored and excited to have finally earned my position on the staff team of Craftyn Towny. After months of having someone remind me that I don't show up under /liststaff, "cough" devyn "cough" I can say that I now proudly am displayed there along with all of Craftyns other great staff members.
What are your goals as a mod?
I wish to rain fire on the heads of Craftyn's enemies... er... make sure that the server stays fun and safe for all!
Holy_Shitake releases new page of the Craftyn Capers
Some may recall our earlier story (final, at bottom) about the Craftyn Capers revival, at least temporarily. Holy_Shitake has, after a little over 2 weeks, released a new page to an ongoing story in the comic.
This page features:
fozzythedovakiin
samo911
nattov
markkalliny
LaughingPyro
s0uX (as Mike Wazowski)
Holy also said this page took longer than expected by about a week because of an illness he had and also the greater detailing done on the artwork.
The original thread page is located here.

Poptartswaffle to host party in blackwater
Yet another party is coming to Craftyn! Poptartswaffle will be hosting a party in Blackwater. The party will have a PvP contest, snacks, cake, fishing and potions presumably for drinking. The exact time of the party and the prize for the PvP contest is still in the works but she says she hopes it to be between June 28th and July 4th, saying she will plan it around Canada Day on July 1st and Independence Day on July 4th. She wants RSVPs put on her forums thread so she can plan teams for the PvP contest, in addition to prize suggestions.
Greif in Ingenium
The Mayor of Ingenium, Coolyo, has made a post on the moderation requests section of the forums about a grief in his new town.
He says he logged on around 2:05 PM Eastern time, to his assistant notifying him of a grief in his house and along a nearby road. Some signs had insults on them, in addition to claiming to be done by 123Kitten123 (Which Coolyo points out makes no sense as 123Kitten owns the house that was greifed.)

Stevie fools at least 3 people into thinking he is in local chat
On Friday Stevie fooled at least 3 people into thinking he was in their general area by using gray colored font on the global channel. The 3 people, consisting of Altar, Dreamyfox and devynbarrie (the author) switched to local chat to greet him after he wrote in gray font "did someone say /l" during a conversation with a new roamer about whether it's possible to switch off global and leave local on. This follows a few minutes worth of Altar and Stevie in unison using several font tricks to produce jumbled font and lines crossing out words.
