Wool Wars Highlights!
Hello everyone, Jamiedactyl her—
wait wrong intro
What’s up people, it’s your favorite guy Zachdo—
nonono
Hey guys, this is Joeko—
Ugh. Alright guys. Final try.
THIS IS IS SOMETHIN’ NEW, THE CASPER SLIDE PART TWO, FEATURING THE PLATINUM BAND, AND THIS TIME, IT’S TIME TO GET FUNKY
What the heck, let’s keep it :)
Woolwars. WhOO! This has undeniably been the best year for munchy’s best gamemode. From countless updates, an amazing staff team, and the wonderful players who joined this year, everything has just been the greatest. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and forget how far we’ve come, so I’ve decided to introduce a yearly tradition for the woolwars newsletter.
INTRODUCING...
WOOLWARS, YEAR IN REVIEW
I’ve decided to compile a short history of everything significant that happened in woolwars the past year. This will be an annual tradition for the January newsletter. Well, hopefully it will be. Right now I’m just praying that Bee ef eye oh one doesn’t demote me for making too many your mom jokes in the lobby. In any case, lets get on with it!
Disclaimer
Please don’t kill me if some of the dates are messed up I spent like three hours crawling through the forums announcements category to make this and I’m tired so please don’t cut my head off
January
January included many changes to woolwars. First off, our staff team acquired some amazing new cuties, including Beanep, Ripshot, Lunainspace, Mddey, SixNumbers, Zeepog, and Plazmal. Along with that, the year was kicked off with a 1v1 brackets tournament! January also brought the addition of jump boost ll potions to the loot table. New map Monday was also announced, flooding the server with some of the most loved maps to date!
February
February brought arguably the most loved addition to woolwars in existence: /Kiss. Visiting the woolwars lobby at this time was akin to sitting in paris next to a star-lit fountain during a full moon. The love and passion during this month brought forth the best in the playerbase, and far too many hearts were shattered upon its removal.
The woolwars easter map competition was also announced in February. Players competed to build the best easter-themed map before time ran out!
Along with this changes, the woolwars loot table also received more modification. No more would we find Iron blocks, stacks of 16 snowballs, and full durability fishing rods in chests.
March
Guess what happened in march. That’s right, more loot table changes 
Gold sword, my beloved 
April
Lot’s of stuff happened in April. First of all, we got a brand new kit. Easter kit gives you four eggs, each spawning a killer death bunny when thrown. Speaking of easter, two competitions occured in April: the lobby island build competition, and the egg hunt. Eggs were randomly scattered across the lobby, and finding them all gave you the chance to win an exclusive rank. Three new islands were also added to the lobby, each with their own special theme. Map rotation was also added in April, but was removed due to negative community feedback.
May
The arrival of may ushered in yet another tournament for the community to enjoy: 2v2 brackets. Players competed in teams of two in competitive matches. Summer staff season also occurred in May, with a record number of applicants getting accepted. HELIXED, JUST511, IcePopcorn, JamieDactyl, and Zombiebot01 all joined the staff team, with many others getting promoted.
June
Guys teaming is NO LONGER allowed so make sure to REPORT anyone you see teaming in a PUBLIC GAME for a STAFF MEMBER to PUNISH THEM 
July
With July came the woolwars media competition. Players and content creators competed to create the most entertaining woolwars video. This event was amazing, and I hope to see it again this year!
August
omgomgomg so much happened in august I’m gonna get carpal tunnel just from typing this.
First off came the clan tournament, where prominent woolwars clans competed against each other in large tournament maps. Day two of the tournament was by far the most intense. The last surviving clans - Appa, Encryption, and Comet - had a chaotic battle. As the sandstone crept up to the final layer, Zachdontfall, Sript, Joekoe, Lunainspace, and JUST511 all fought vigorously. After both of their teams had died, Zach and Sript had a heated 1v1, with Zach barely winning the game for appa. This day was also so fun because multiple streamers were broadcasting their perspectives, allowing players so go back and view their best moments.
August also brought the biggest gameplay update of the year, with changes including a post match report, map selection, a permanent doubling of all tokens earned, and changes to over a dozen kits
September
A new woolwars event called wool cup was created in September. Drafted teams of four fought against each other in a round robin style, with the team that had the most points winning it all.
October
Yet another event was announced in October. The first player to reach 100 wins would take home the prize of wooly tag. Many top community members competed, but in the end Soluscontinuum won by a landslide, becoming the first player to receive the coveted golden wooly tag.
November
November was another great month for woolwars. It was around this time that skeppy began to create woolwars content again, which lifted woolwars out of the playercount slump it previously had. November also brought forth a new map competition, this one for new years. This one is so recent it hasn’t been judged yet, so keep your eyes out! A changelog was also added to woolwars, allowing players to more clearly see the progress of the development team’s work on the gamemode.
December
During this December, woolwars got another amazing event. Hosted by Lukasek, the woolwars advent race comprised of daily challenges that players would race to complete the quickest. These challenges ranged from getting two ender pearls in a public game without teleporter to making art depicting a woolwars staff member. This was definitely one of my favorite events tis year.
POLLS
Okay, that was a lot to get through. As part two of our woolwars review, I’ve decided to make some polls to see which events were the most loved by the community.

WOOLWARS KISS CAM??
Yep, that’s right. Woolwars has no kiss cam this month. For once this year, it’s time we look past all the kissing, twerking, you’re gifs, Brazil, and all of our amazing inside jokes. let’s take a step back and remember what we truly have. Our community is so kind, so welcoming, and so tight knit. Over the years, we’ve shaped woolwars into a place where people want to be, not because of the game, but because of the people who play it, an achievement unrivaled in any other server. Woolwars is great not because of cobweb clutching, or glider jokes, or all the different kits. Woolwars is great because of you. This year I’ve formed friendships that match and sometimes even exceed my relationships in real life. Thank you, all of you, for making this server a place people can feel at home.
I love you all, and I can’t wait to see where this new year takes us
