But that’s not all, folks! Our server is home to the rarest and most elusive mob in all of Minecraft – the disco sheep. Legend has it that if you find and shear a disco sheep, you’ll be granted three wishes by Notch himself! Who needs diamonds when you have disco sheep wishes?

So come on down to our server and join in on the madness! We promise you’ll have more fun than a pig in a mud bath. And remember, on our server, every day is a celebration – even your conception day! Don’t ask us how we know when that is, just roll with it. See you in the game, party animals!

So come join us and experience the wackiest, most politically charged Minecraft SMP out there! Who knew virtual politics could be so entertaining?
