[[Squareblob]]'s discord profile picture is very recognizable in MtS, and a customized version was adopted by Metriximor, which made the dog blue and added a black "M" on it's forehead.

==== Special Discord Roles ====
The cultural interest of MtS in recruiting newfriends gave birth to many projects, including SeptBot, a discord-minecraft bot that automatically messaged accounts that joined the server for the first time<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Squareblob|sender=Squareblob|date=October 27, 2020|url=https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/770663353542377522/770665857453260800|text=There is a new category at the bottom of the discord called relay.

The bot also acted as a proxy for communicating with the new joins in real time, using unique discord channels as interface. To avoid spam (and after a particular event in which a banned player attempted to communicate through the bot), only users with the ''relay'' role could send messages.
Several months later, the admins announced that [!] (by then the de-facto "global" chat) would be moderated and act as an official global channel, with new players getting automatically added to it. Squareblob announced the end of SeptBot's newfriend messaging functionality on January 1st, 2021<ref>{{Cite Discord message|sender-link=Squareblob|sender=Squareblob|date=January 1, 2021|url=https://discord.com/channels/742831212711772261/770663353542377522/794750685610246175|text=I disabled SeptBot messaging new joins. Before newfriends were automatically added to [!] chat there was a bit more use for this and a reasonable response rate but now I think it has outlived its purpose.
