Seacraft Weekly

*The Forgotten Period*Please note that the following content may contain assumptions as some of the information has been lost or forgotten.
**Seacraft Weekly** was Seacraft's old newspaper. These were issued around the time of Seacraft 2.2. They were available from a chest at Spawn for free. The only known authors of any articles were the owners, zac5 and jacobme32. The Seacraft Weekly is thought to have been only lightly accepted by the server's community at the time.

The issues discovered were found in a chest in the Bombing Mines. Attempts have been made to find other issues by searching player inventories and by searching the world files, but nothing has been found and it is unlikely that any other issues have survived.

These issues are of historical significance since they are primary sources made prior to Seacraft 2.3. However, the issues found are among the least important of all the other possible issues, since they provide very little information that was previously unknown.

The number of issues published is unknown, but there are estimates as high as 10 or 11 issues.

## Writing and Publishing

The Seacraft Weekly was managed by zac5, who wrote most of the articles. He sometimes handed off certain articles to be written by other players, who would then return the book to zac5. The books were signed by zac5 and copies were created using the appropriate crafting recipes. These copies were made available to the players, with zac5 keeping the original safe. However, these originals have gone missing over time, likely due in part to Memory Crashes.

Despite the name, the Seacraft Weekly was not always (and possibly not often) written on a strictly weekly basis, though that was the original intention.

## Obtaining

At the time of their release, copies of the Seacraft Weekly could be obtained from a chest at Spawn. The chest was refilled every time a new issue was released. The chest itself was positioned to the left of Spawn's Nether portal.

## Issues

### Issue 1

Although this issue has not been obtained, a few predictions can be made as to what was in it.

Mount Magma was possibly mentioned. zac5 remembers writing about the volcano in an article and he remembers creating the volcano as he was making Survival Games (i.e. Mount Magma was mentioned before the release of Seacraft 2.2).

The 3rd issue also mentions that an Auto-Announcer problem was mentioned in "a previous issue", and considering this was not in issue 2, it was surely mentioned in the first issue. The servers log files also date the discovery of this problem on the 20th of September, about a week before the release of issue 2.

This article was written around the release of Seacraft 2.1.6, introducing the new features of the update, namely Wally the Whale and "New Town" (now called Sunflower Town).

This article also notified people of the coming of Seacraft 2.2, the next major update to be released.

This article was written around the release of Seacraft 2.2, mentioning some of its features including the Animal Range.

The second page says that there was a missed issue in the previous week, but the dates show that issues had been missed for 4 weeks. Although the third issue's date or issue number may have been a typo, there is no evidence to confirm it.

### Issues 4+

No issue has been found beyond issue 3 but, as with issue 1, there are a few different predictions to what some of the articles may have contained. These include:

* Introduction of Reef Crystals
* Scoreboard system reset (Reef Crystals broken and will be fixed in 2.3)
* Construction of Racehorse Stadium
* Introduction of suburbs
* Amusement Park coming to 2.3
