Talk:Cave Spider

I didn't remove the link, I moved it to a reference. Cool12309(T 04:02, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I know. I said that later. Thanks for helping me get this page running. Know how to get it onto the mobs reference bar?

Shouldn't this thread be merged with Spider, kinda like the electrocreeper? At least, when it comes out.

no, because unlike the charged creepers the blue spider isnt a form of the spider, they are different mobs, spiders dont turn into blue spiders.--Higbey 14:33, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Does anybody have a older version of this page, because some jerk just completely deleted it without checking out ANYTHING that's been said about this. Quatroking4 is his name.
 * Excuse me, sir, this "idiot" is the wiki head admin, and I myself marked it to be deleted. This also means it's not coming back before there is any official proof. And the reason of deletition was obvious: no official proof. Also, sign your comments. No offence meant, you should read the wiki rules next time.

My problem is that Protato has announced that he was one of the four people to be chosen to work at Mojang's PAX booth on saturday, and has already confirmed plenty of things and gotten screenshots of almost everything he's confirmed. Even Notch, apparently has confirmed the monster and talked about it when he encountered it in a mine shaft. MyCraftDev 15:23, 28 August 2011 (UTC)MyCraftDev(T|C) 08:22, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If you have proof from Notch, send us a link. For obvious reasons, we cannot consider anyone else than Mojang staff official sources. This wiki would be full of speculation and hoaxes if we added everything claimed by unknown people. [[Image:TK.gif]]  | TheKax |   Talk   15:26, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't know how to get a link to something I didn't record, but I tweeted Notch about this so I hope he gets back sometime soon. MyCraftDev 15:23, 28 August 2011

I agree with MyCraftDev, the page should be recovered. First of all the page was very recently created (last night) and the "head admin" should have gave it a chance for people to add more content/proof onto the page instead of almost instantly wiping it out. It would have been best to wait at least 3-7 days for more evidence to show up before deleting it. Shockman25 16:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

I believe him too, I looked at the picture, unfortunatly now youve deleted it, but I looked at it and its not the same skin, it looks different, not just tinted, I find it annoying how you dont accept info straight from PAX. if Notch talked about it to someone who worked at the Mojang booth then technically they are giving information from Mojang staff.--Higbey 16:34, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The issue with a source like this is that it is potentially fraudulent; the guy claims it's from PAX, sure, but that's no guarantee that it is. Find another source (an official one from the Mojang staff is best), or it's not worth mentioning. I've also tweeted Notch about this, so hopefully we can have some kind of clarity on this. Until them, I'm not really sure that I buy it. Siphida 16:46, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, in the original picture, if you look at the bottom, you can clearly see the experience and food bars, so this is not just some mod, and, someone named "whatthenether" claims that he really was at PAX watching a demo of 1.8, and another thing, if you look closely at the illuminated blocks, you can see a "warmer" lighting, as Notch said, AND the spider is clearly not black, it should be obvious, AND he has more pictures of PAX than just this one, so he definitely was attending PAX.

protato was staff at Mojangs booth at PAX, he was told about this by notch himself, if he worked at the booth technically that means he was Mojang staff.--Higbey 17:02, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

I also vote Yes to restore this page and give it a bit of time for proof. Even if not so, keep it up until Beta 1.8 comes out. If Blue Spiders are not added then, then we will know this page is false and can then be deleted. Cool12309(T 18:04, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Pretty there's a huge amount of evidence here that points to this being real, so I hope this page will get back up soon. It's kind of like how the dragon page is still up, seeing as there's no info on how it could possibly work and has even been advised against by jeb, yet is still a page. Notch has mentioned it a couple times, never once confirming it would be in-game, and yet this has a screenshot, apparently confirmation from Notch himself and consistent info on how it would work.

 * Yeah, I don't know why this was removed. The source is reliable.  --Warlock 18:56, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
