WayneByNumbers Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 According to our wiki page, the servers first started operation on June 10, 2009 (I found a possible reference to an earlier date, but it doesn't look all that reliable). June 10th is only about 6 weeks away, I think we should put some kind of major event together. I don't think there's another public server in the world that has ever celebrated a 5 year anniversary. What would it be? CTF? That space thing? Building contest? Admin hunt? Twitch broadcast? Youtube video? Fundraiser? Something new? Any combination of the above? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post by Nat announcing it was made at 2009-06-10T17:41:30-07:00. And that wiki article is a joke about a build consisting of a single dirt block taking two years to make. Classic came out in May 2009. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchanman Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Well that is pretty good news. I thought I could get the space event done by Mid June/Maybe July, and this fits perfectly, but shortens the time I need to set up. A twitch broadcast could be done as well, along with a fundraiser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHRossman Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 That means I've spent nearly 5 years playing here... Jesus I need to get a life. Lets make this a great event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchanman Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 We could also have some kind of major fireworks show where the attendees of the event all get teleported into the viewing area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneByNumbers Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 If you need help building/setting up/testing your map, buch, I'd love to help. Perhaps you could host it on a server, or convince the techs to set it up on event.nerd.nu or something. If past organized events are any indicator, we should probably test it thoroughly.

joshuaherman Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 lets do a twitch broadcast of the live event maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchanman Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ok, this is probably a big let down for all of you reading. I saw my grades dropping (fast) when I was trying to get the event to be created on time, so I've been neglecting the project for quite a while. It's finally to the point where I realized that June 10 is only weeks away, and the map is about 60% done. It is possible I can make it in time (I'm free June 7-12). Either we can delay the time to make sure this event is great, and still tell people that it's been 5 years, or make an entire new event. Sorry for not being able to invest more time into this event, and hopefully I'm wrong about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got done with yours, then we would have had yours for the anniversary, and the CTF later in the summer. But now we can do CTF for the anniversary, and do yours sometime later in the summer. Get things good with school, then let us know when you get finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphric Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Something that would be really cool, but probably prohibitively difficult, would be to get "everybody" in one spot for a mass group photo. I mean, try to get all the old people who don't play anymore to come on, at least for a little while to celebrate the anniversary. Bring back all the old mods who left, etc. That would be amazing to see, though I don't know if one server could even handle it. I doubt we could get "everyone", but as many current and former players at once would be really cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneByNumbers Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Well, like I said, if you need any help building it, I'd be up for it, and I'm sure there are plenty of other mods who'd love to lend a hand as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastBruiser Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 A group photo would be pretty bitchin... impossible to get EVERYONE though... what time of day has the most players across all 3 servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROCKODUCK Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I like the group photo idea and the nerd main page could use a refresher. So I would say planning planning planning would be the key to having so many players and perhaps using some of C's amazing builds for background? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
