CTF Donation Drive 2015



Who: YOU!

What: The first 2015 CTF Donation Drive!

When: Right now until Sunday at 11:59pm EDT!

Where: Nerd.Nu Minecraft Event Server (e.nerd.nu), and Mumble (mumble.nerd.nu port 6162), and at nerd.nu/donate/

Why: To help raise funds to help keep our servers running!

 

Information about the game and mostly everything you need to know can be found in the guidebook here.

A few things to note that are different from past CTFs as well as other information:

There is NO outer wall! You will have to build a defense and protection for your flag and don't have to leave a clear path to your flag. However the enemy can break it down to get it This is something very different from past CTF's and we hope it plays out well.

Buffs and Buff towers are a secret! If you want to find out what they are, go and capture a a buff tower!

 

Capture The Flag (CTF)


For anyone wondering, Capture The Flag (CTF) is an old tradition for our fundraisers.

There are two teams, red and blue of which you will be automatically assigned either one with the command "/join" while on event.nerd.nu - This allows our plugin to balance teams to avoid a bias which we saw in a previous CTF.

 

There are two main worlds: The Capture the Flag world where both team bases are located alongside a whole host of hidden builds / buffs / treasures. Additionally there is a minigames world where we have three autonomous minigames: an adventure course (designed for 4 people to run at once), a vast maze to get lost in, Pvp Spleef (this event will be run by staff periodically / as often as we can) and King of the Hill.

 

The aim of the game is to capture the enemy flag while defending your own team flags by working together. Contribute any way you wish but communication is key to ensure there are enough people out mining, farming and attacking / defending. The minigames are not just there for fun, there are prizes that you can win to take back to your teams in addition to bonus buffs / treasure hidden around the map.

One of the big resources to gather is wool, dyed with the colour of your team as it will grant a buff for your team while standing on it but damage enemies.

 

Why Donate?



Nerd.nu was founded on the concept of fair play and the idea that when it comes to gaming, everyone should start with equal footing — and after almost six years of operation, we haven't strayed from these important values. Many online gaming services allow users to pay for in-game perks or specialized access, but here at Nerd, we firmly believe that money should be given not for the in-game rewards it might bring, but as a way of showing your appreciation for and supporting the costs of the services we provide.

 

By donating to nerd.nu, you will be helping to pay for the hardware our servers are run on. You will not receive any in-game rewards or prizes for donating, but you will be recognized with an announcement in-game and a permanent place on our donations list.

 

If you decide you'd like to donate, you may be wondering how much money to give. The donation amount we've received most often has been $20, but we recognize that our users come from a broad range of varying backgrounds with differing levels of financial means. We've received donations of amounts from less than five dollars to several hundred dollars in the past, so it's difficult for us to recommend a single amount to donate. Instead, we'd like to encourage you to donate whatever amount you feel comfortable with. No matter what amount you choose, all donations are greatly appreciated.
