The Missing Hermit
By Lyarrah, ZloyXP, and Pixlriffs
It's typical for a hermit to disappear for weeks on end. Working on megabases or complicated redstone machinery can be extremely time consuming. Disappearances of Hermits can also happen due to LORE related purposes. Usually, if a Hermit does do a planned disappearence, they stay in contact with someone in the case of an emergency (See Etho Slab's self imposed exile on page 5). That was not the case with Tango Tek's disappearence.
Approximately three days ago, after concerns were raised by one of our very own authors, Pixlriffs, who is a friend of Tango Tek, to the server's Sherriff, Jimmy Solidarity, Tango was declared missing. That's right, this isn't just LORE anymore. This is a real, genuine missing persons case, the kind the Minecraft community hasn't seen since EVO SMP.
After declaring Tango missing, Sherriff Jimmy obtained a search warrant for Tango's house in the Gobland Empire from Judge Pixlriffs. The house was found to be in disarray, hinting at some kind of struggle. It is typical for Tango's house to be a mess, so that could disprove the struggle theory. What was odd about Tango's house was the bedroom. Sheets had been thrown across the room, and the window was open. This was suspicious to Tango's friends.
ImpulseSV, a close friend of Tango's, was heard saying, "Zed, I can't believe what's happening. Jimmy said that we must consider the possibility that Tango ran away, but it just doesn't make sense. His window was open. He never opens his window. Tango doesn't like letting his house's hot air escape. Jimmy should know this! Maybe he made Tango disappear. No, he would never. He couldn't hurt a fly."
The Sherriff of Tumble Town is a viable suspect in this case. He is also more then capable of hurting a fly. Jimmy and Tango had gone from practical strangers to everyone speculating whether they are dating or not in the span of just a few months. A suspiciously short amount of time. Jimmy was also the last person who saw Tango before he went missing. Sherriff Jimmy is known to be a bit of a short fuse, and has endured relentless bullying from his fellow server mates. The perfect concoction that could theoretically make him snap at the first person he saw. We do have more suspects that we will cover on page 23. We will leave you with these final questions for you.
Why did no one notice when Tango Tek disappeared? Did he run away? Is he dead? Alive? Was he taken? If so, who could have done it?

ZombieCleo: Isn't it a little too soon to suspect foul play in Tango's disappearence?
Xisuma: Didn't we agree to keep Tangos disappearence on the down low?
Grian: Timmy make Tango disappear? What a joke.
Fwhip: This article does make a good point...

Meanwhile, in the catacombs of the Capital...
"WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK? THAT WAS A PRIVATE CONVERSATION!"
"I'm so sorry you feel mad about an action I have supposedly done, but if you could just hear me out-"
"I thought we were friends, but clearly, you've just been using me, using Tango, using all of us! I can't believe I ever thought we were friends."
"Tread carefully now, my dear friend. I'm just your good old pal, Pix."
"STOP IT. Stop trying to pull the wool over my eyes."
"Your wish is my command."
