The Daily Brick

## About

The Daily Brick is a parody news broadcast hosted by UnreadBrick3354, and contained jokes, interviews with notable members, and coverage of wars happening on the server.

## Structure

### The Headlines

The basic structure for a Daily Brick broadcast is to start with the Headlines. These get written in a bulleted list with no commentary or explanation. An example of this is:

* borgor is good
* Forgot to mention Laguna is now a constitutional Monarchy
* please make tickets

These are then explained in a sentence or short paragraph, like this:

> First Headline: I just spent all my money on borgor, my family can't eat anything, they have no money we are poor, borgor is good ngl
>
>

> Second! Yea also some Queen and King stuff is Happening in Laguna, another excuse to make more pixel art
>
>

> The Third and Final! - Please make a ticket staff don't notified for stuff in questions or general
>
>

### Art Showcase

Following the headlines, there is the Art Showcase, where Brick posts art and/or builds that he's created or that other users have posted on the server. If it's art he's made, it usually has an explanation for what the piece is for. There are also special occasions where Brick posts art he's made, and includes a bit of lore for the piece. For example, a long-running part of the Daily Brick is discussing the planets and notable celestial bodies that Brick's satellite has discovered. Here, he will post "photos" of the planet, along with an explanation of the picture and a continuation of the story.

### Fun Facts

Here, Brick tells a fun fact about the world. This is usually a true fact about space, locations, and interesting things about the earth, but can be jokes from time to time.

### Daily Dose of Quotes

Brick posts screenshots of messages that others have sent on the Discord or in any of the Tailvile Minecraft servers. These are usually funny, nonsensical, and taken far from their original context.

### Cool Pets

Brick posts pictures of other member's pets.

### Poll

Brick conducts a poll, which is usually just a simple question, like "Is your room an absolute mess?" The readers can use Discord Emotes and reactions to answer the question.

### Ending

Brick usually ends a Daily Brick broadcast with an image that says "Stay tuned, folks!", and then asks for feedback to be posted in #general. This feedback is then used to improve the Daily Brick, or expand on the jokes made during the broadcast.

## ARG

On 08/05/2021, Brick (along with Godlikk) created a short ARG where some sort of alien or other powerful creature interfered with the broadcast, leaving cryptic messages, strings of 1s and 0s, dark images, and bizarre audios. The members of Tailvile worked together to discover the meaning behind these strange messages. Although many of the codes and secrets were deciphered, the ARG was never fully solved. Mysteries still remain as to what interfered with the Daily Brick broadcasts that day.
