  1. Start mining and grinding for the maze arena being held this Saturday, January 10th on Survival.  Beginning at 7p CST (calculate your time zone here) on the dot, be ready to kill your friends in a winding arena battle!  Everyone is welcome to attend!  Don't want to join the blood bath?  Your cheering is appreciated in the stands!

     

    The matches will be as follows (if unspecified, it will be a kitted match):
     
    1v1v1v1
    2v2
    4vMinotaur (Gear supplied)
    1v1v1v1 (Bring your own gear)
    4vMinotaur (Gear supplied; more difficult Minotaur)
    4v4  (if enough attendees)
    1v1v1v1 (Bring your own gear)
    1v1v1v1
    2v2
    1v1v1v1 (Police hats)
    FFA (no gear)
     
     
    A reminder of the rules:
     
    Kitted Match: Fight to the death where the gear is given.  Last participant standing wins the prize!
    Minotaur Match:  Team match of four participants against an admin in special gear.  The goal is to use team work to defeat the Minotaur.  Killing your teammates will result in you being removed from the match.  If the team of participants kills the admin, all participating players will be given the prize.
    Bring Your Own Gear (BYOG) Match:  Bring your own gear.  Any gear is allowed.  Fight to the death match with the last standing person in the arena being the winner.
    Police Hats:  Kitted match including a police hat.  Fight to the death.  Must keep the police hat on the entire duration of the match or you will be disqualified.
    FFA:  No gear or items, fight to the death.  Last person standing wins.
     
    Interfering with any of the arena matches will result in a warning kick.  If you persist in being ornery after being kicked you will be moved to time out.  All other general server rules apply.
     
     
    Curious as to what the prizes are?  They vary but include your standard diamonds, a mob egg of some sort (in some cases you get to choose!), ghast tears and more!
     
     
    Questions or comments?  Reply here or shoot me a PM!
    Can't wait to see you all there!!  :D

  2. Tomorrow, December 16th, Event will be opening for the Winter Holiday maze!  Enjoy snow filled adventures with murderous snowballs and killer snow golems, mazes of awesome, parkour, and more!

     

    In the center of the maze you will find a Christmas Tree.  slide23 wrote an awesome plug in that allows the community to help decorate it!  You can place any one block; place carefully though because you won't be able to break it after!  I've included a list of different heads for you all to use in case you don't want to use your own.  :D

     

    There is also a scavenger hunt on this Event round!  I've hidden 26 heads around the map with easy-signs to hit for points (you must hit the sign for credit).  Those who find all the heads will be credited flair and possible forum tags.

     

    Many thanks to everyone who helped make this Event possible and dealing with my controlling anal retentive...... awesomeness.

     

    A special thanks to the following:

     

    Mrgauthier34, without him half the things on Event wouldn't have been constructed.  He's a true trooper and has probably dealt with my controlling shenanigans more than anyone on here (besides meebs slide23).  He's been a bau5 at getting things done in a timely fashion as well.

     

    cab417 and rtr69, also badasses.  Thank you so much for helping myself and MrG out.  You've been awesome and great to work with.

     

    JudgeDread, beautiful build as always.

     

    Denevien and redwall_hp, you two are awesome.  The plugins you two wrote for this are amazing and you're not even tech admins.  :D

     

    smiler100 and slide23, both of you are equally awesome.  The adjustments and plugins that were written to make this Event even better are so awesome and Event wouldn't be nearly as amazing without them.

     

    SirTacoface, thank you for building a brilliant parkour course for everyone to enjoy and adding a new depth to the map.  :D

     

    xkittypuppetx, the Christmas Tree that you built for the center of the maze is wonderful and I greatly appreciate your work on it.  It looks great and I really enjoyed working with you on Event.

     

    SwitchViewz, though you occasionally freak me out, (:P), a lovely spawn as usual.  Thank you for making the time with school and your life to make it for me.

     

    Also a special thanks to my two speed build arena winners, Segadude20000 and ultrahub.  You guys are great.  :D

  5. Holiday Greetings!
     
    This weekend I will be hosting two speed builds with three rounds each on the Event Server!  You can enter up to one round in both sections, meaning you can do both Gingerbread Houses and Snow Forts.

     
    Gingerbread House Speed Build

    Arena by Contest Winner: Segadude20000

     

    The Gingerbread House Speed Build will start promptly Saturday, December 6th at 6p CST.  Not in this time zone?  Calculate your time here!  Watch out though!  This is first come, first serve!
     
    Rules of Engagement
    Three rounds of 15 minutes each
    Your final result must resemble a gingerbread house
    You may request flowing lava and water from a moderator, just ask via /modreq or World Chat!  :D
    General speed building rules apply

     

    Three winners from each round will be selected, resulting in nine winners total.  These nine winners will be displayed in the Gumdrop Forest during the Christmas Event!  :D

     

     

    Snow Fort Speed Build

    Arena by Contest Winner:  ultrahub

     

    This Speed Build will start promptly Sunday, December 7th at 2p CST.  Calculate your time here for this event.  Due to more limited spaces during this speed build, I will take reservations via forum mail, server mail, or if you can catch me on a server (Survival is a good bet) via PM!  Precedence will be given to those who signed up over walk-ins. 

     

    Rules of Engagement
    Three rounds of 30 minutes each

    Build a badass snowfort (being able to enter the snow fort will give brownie points!)

    You may request flowing lava and water from a moderator, just ask via /modreq or World Chat!  :D
    General speed building rules apply

     
    One winner from each round will be selected, resulting in three winners total.  These winners will be displayed on the Christmas Event in the Snowball Fight Area, so keep that in mind for your design!  In the event of a tie for the winner during judging, the two participants will enter a build off between each other with less time given.  >:D
     
     
     
    Haven't done a speed build competition and want to know more about it before getting snowy?  Check out LetsBFehr's post here!
     
     
     
    Please note:  NSFW builds and/or NSFW signs will not be tolerated.  All server rules apply to this contest and the Event server.  If you interfere with the builders in any way (including, but not limited to, blocking them or altering their build) you will be given ONE warning kick.  If this persists then you will be banned from ALL servers for the duration of the Speed Build.  Please be respectful of the builders and the event.

  9. Hello all!  I am issuing a contest to build two speed build arenas for the Event server.  The deadline for this contest is Monday evening, November 24th.  If you are interested in having your build entered, please build in single player and provide your schematic/world for download (DropBox is a viable form, as well as GoogleDrive, etc).

     

    The build criteria is as follows:

     

    Snowfort Build Arena:

    6 (no more than 8) 50 x 50 plots

    Stands

    Christmas/Winter Theme

     

    Gingerbread House Build** Arena:

    10 20 x 20 plots

    Stands

    Christmas/Winter Theme

     

    Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour!  

     

    **Realized that I should clarify that.  It's to build Gingerbread houses, not made from Gingerbread.  :D

  11. 3am or thereabouts for Brits and Europeans and on a weekday, lol no thanks. Is this definitely the set date of the meeting?

     

    I figured this would be the case which is why I mentioned that I would work on scheduling a secondary meeting to discuss the same issues.  I think it would be a great idea to do a whenisgood chart of people who don't live in the North American section.  :D

  12. The staff meeting has been set to this Thursday, November 6th at 8p CST/9p EST.

     

    I will post the meeting agenda on Wednesday, November 5th for all staff members to see.  Please note that if it is not on the agenda, then it will not be discussed.  This is to prevent blindsiding and personal arguments.  If you have something you want discussed and added to the agenda, please message me on IRC or on the forums.

     

    If for some reason you cannot make this meeting, there will be a recording and notes posted.  I will have the notes posted by the following day and the recording I will have up as soon as possible.  If you're interested in recording the meeting, please message me.  If enough people cannot make this meeting, then I will schedule a secondary meeting to discuss the same topics at another time.

     

    Please be on time, as I intend to start the meeting promptly at 8p CST/9p EST.  :D

  13. The fourth portal is open again tonight at 12a CDT giving you access to the Event Server!!  Enjoy the multi-level maze of spawn before wandering out into the 451 x 451 maze.  There are two exits that will lead you to different attractions on the edges, this includes the Pumpkin Patch which is showcasing our Championship Speed Build Winners, a hot Nether area with a portal to more exciting things, the orchard, and much much more!  Beware though!  The dark forest has PvP enabled so make a dash for your life against your best friend!

     

    While I'm at this I would like to take this moment to give special thanks to the staff members and players helping me make this possible:

     

    Spawn: SwitchViewz, MonroeZabaleta, Rokku117, Pinko_Eric, SirLyle

    Secondary edit, due to popular request I have decided to leave the Event server until Sunday, November 9th for being able to run the maze.  After Sunday you will not be able to complete it for subreddit flair.  Sunday I will enable flying on the server so that you can explore the map and find anything you may have missed.  :D

    Rules of Engagement

    Each round will have 20 minutes to carve out their pumpkins

    You may use Halloween related blocks (including but not limited to orange clay/wool, yellow clay/wool, obsidian, cobwebs etc) in addition to your pumpkin

    You may edit your pumpkins shape by adding and deleting pumpkins but your end result must be some sort of carved pumpkin (Note that pumpkins need a block under them to place them)

    The inside of your pumpkin will not be judged unless visible

    You may request flowing lava and water from a moderate, just ask!  :D

    General speed building rules apply

    Please see secondary notes located at the bottom of this post

     

     

    During this speed build there will be three rounds with three winners from each round.  The fourth round will be a build off between the nine winners.  The three winners from the final round will have their pumpkin on display in the Pumpkin Patch of the maze Halloween weekend.  Walk-ins are welcome but you can guarantee a spot by PM-ing me here or using server mail with the time slot you would like to build:

     

    SLOT ONE - Aussieland

    SLOT TWO - Brits&Friends

    SLOT THREE - North America

     

    The Champion build round will take place at 7p CDT on October 25th.  Translate for your time zone here.

  17. While I find the original video posted to be humourous, I don't see this thread going any where productive with it's bickering and such.  As a result, I am going to lock it.  If you would like to re-post the video and keep everything civil in said post, please do not hesitate to do so.

    On the subject of the whole ban because of calling someone a musical instrument, I think we have all agreed that perhaps it was not the best call on the staff member's part.  If you want an apology then please just ask for one in a polite manner and stop with the passive aggressive behaviour.  Otherwise, let's move on from this whole business.

    As for the subject of harassment and being called "toxic morons", all harassment complaints should be taken seriously.  If you do not feel whoever you're reporting your harassment to is being taken seriously then please take it to a different moderator or admin.  In regards to being called "toxic morons", while done in private, should not have happened and is being addressed.

  18. For the past month a few of us have been working on a community Halloween event to be held on the Event server.  The event features two main attractions:


     


    Pumpkin Carving Speed Build


    This part of the event will be held on Saturday, October 25th, at three different times so I can cover all player time zones.  There will be three rounds with three winners from each round.  The fourth round will be a build off between the nine winners.  The three winners from the final round will have their pumpkin on display in the Pumpkin Patch of the maze Halloween weekend.  Space is limited so please sign up for one of the slots below by PM-ing me here with the time slot you would like to build:


    SLOT ONE - Aussieland


    SLOT TWO - Brits&Friends


    SLOT THREE - North America


     


    The Champion build round will take place at 7p CDT on October 25th.  Translate for your time zone here.


     


    For those of you unfamiliar with speed building but think you may want to give it a try, speed building is a game where you build (or in our case carve) within a certain amount of time while in creative mode.  I will make a defining post closer to the event with the time allotment etc.  You may reference this post by LetsBFehr for more background on speed building: Speed Building


     


    The Night Is Dark and Full of Terrors


    Opening again to the public at 12a CDT, October 31st, the Event Server will be showcasing our second attraction, a multi-area (and in some cases multi-level) maze.  Don't worry, while I am known for building mazes with no exit, I assure you this one can be solved!  More than just getting through the maze though, the surrounding area of the maze is full of different things including, but not limited to, the Pumpkin Patch that will have our three winners from the speed build.  Different areas will have different enemies and different upgrades.  Prepare for riddles and combinations locks to get through the maze, it'll be the most fun you'll have fighting for your life.
