I think I might like it here
Ok so I was thinking to myself the other day about the new update in minecraft. As a librarian I take no small pleasure in the Bookworm mod we use and with the advent of the writable books in Minecraft now I wondered how it would effect that. In the long run I decided it wouldn't cause that much trouble due to the fact that the new books cannot be placed on shelves yet, so then I thought how could they be used in our world without replacing books as we use them now? Then I thought, well how about mail?
Think about it, what if you wanted to reach out as a character to another city? I mean you could just make the trek to that city and in some cases you would, but wouldn't it make more sense in world if you could just write them? Using the new book system you could write small or long letters as you see fit in a roleplay sense, and it wont break the fantasy medieval theme.
This would mean a few things outside of roleplay too. First, every town interested would need a post office and at least one individual who would deliver letters to different towns. As to how this would work out I'm thinking titles of the book would correspond to the person and town and each post office would need a delivery box for their town's inhabitants.
So just to make things easy to understand I'll bullet the points I'm trying to convey:

So just to make things easy to understand I'll bullet the points I'm trying to convey:
- Use new Quill and Book feature in 1.3.1 as letters.
- Create a Post Office building for each town complete with mail boxes for inhabitants.
- Create a Post Officer position for every town which can be fulfilled by any player.
- A new way of reaching out to another player who may be offline or in another timezone.
- A chance for interesting ongoing roleplaying experiences.
- A way for player characters to interact in unique and exciting ways.
- A new building for cities to plan and build to help expand cities.
- A new profession for players to perform and Roleplay in.
- Another level of emersion in the Fantasy/Medieval World.
- More interaction between towns.
- A use for the new Quill and Book feature that doesn't conflict with Bookworm.
