2b2t Times

The 2b2t Times is a weekly community newspaper made out of mapart that has been running since August 2021. Forceken founded and has led the newspaper in its operations. The newspaper covers current events as well as other historical events that may be of significance. All of the articles are made on the same map ID, so if you find one on the server, it will automatically update to the new story every week. During its operation, from August 2021 to February 2022, it has distributed over 750,000 unique maps containing the newspaper story all over the server, even more than 100k from spawn. Over 1500 people have joined the discord from the invite linked on the newspaper.

The weekly topic for each story is voted on democratically by the Editors in the 2b2t Times and the general public is able to suggest topics as well. The operation is run partly from Discord and all of the older stories are archived in the newspaper's server as well.

Distribution
The 2b2t Times HQ (Headquarters) is a giant, self-sustainable, newspaper factory which provides all of the materials needed for making the newspaper. It was built by Franknificant and Forceken. It contains auto sugarcane farms, auto cow farms, and auto wheat farms (to feed the cows). Multiple players are tasked with distributing the mapart in large quantities in vast areas near and far away from spawn. You can find maparts of the newspaper almost anywhere near a major highway/road on the server, especially in the Nether.

News Issues
On the newspaper itself, all text is in ALL CAPS. Here, text has been brought into sentence capitalization for your ease of reading. Color markdown has been carried over. Any appearances of (sic.) indicate that the error was made originally by the 2b2t Times writers.

Issue 23 - Farlands
In 2019, Fit made 2 videos about the Farlands and also ended up offering a 2000 dollar reward, which is yet unclaimed. Between the two videos, there are a few clues to the Farlands(sic.) alleged location! Firstly, there was a claim that it was more likely to be in the (-,+) quad. It was later stated that the Farlands were found using a teleport exploit, so no chunk trail. Have you tried to find them yet?
