  1. Took a look it's a lot better than I thought it would be. I would have guessed it was the welsh flag.
  2. Any ideas on how to make an Aruba flag?

  10. if i buy a supporter voucher, does it ship something to the address i put in?
  11. No. Make sure you're logged in and some "Aikar magic" will be performed. It will be mailed, but to your in-game account. So you basically get the voucher pretty much after payment.

    (edit): you'd use /mail get (in-game) to retrieve it.

    (edit2): This might be a good read for you (depends a bit on your voucher, but even so...):

  12. Flag Day Parade 2017 - Report

    Disclaimer: this is probably going to contain some typoes (edit: edited most ;)). It is quite late here, I was already sleepy before the event started, but some players really enjoyed this report last year so... I might as well post now (damage has been done anyway, lol) :D

    (special thanks to Imgur for ruining the sequence of my pictures, very helpful indeed :confused:)

    Players gathered, and Krysyy is sitting on her horse 'Slowpoke' (20 speed :eek:)

    The event got well underway long before it officially started. Players gathered at the entrance, started to form a line and not much later Krysyy explained how the event was going to take place and which rules were in place.


    After the diamond portal literally opened up (nice touch!) the parade started to get moving!

    The parade slowly spiraled inwards until it reached the big bridge, from which it went on onto the other half of the area and spiraled out a bit (?).

    A better look at the bridge while the parade passes a random afk'ish player :D

    The parade & visitor areas were nicely separated by barrier blocks

    Beginning of the parade nears the bridge

    The parade managed to attract quite a bunch of players!

    What was at the end you ask? A nice Lapis field where the after party was to take place :cool:


    Players were looking forward to the quiz & prizes :)

    Krysyy held a small quiz which was then followed by a drop party.


    Krysyy dropping prizes on some of the lucky players :cool:

    As you can see we partied until deep through the night :D


    And at the end of the party people slowly left. But even so: there was plenty to see in the surrounding area. If the residence is still open then I can well advice you to visit /v parade on SMP8, there may not be a parade going on anymore, but some of the surrounding residences are really worth checking out!

    And that also concludes my report. Short but... snappy? ;)

    Thanks again for organizing & hosting all this Krysyy, and also thanks to everyone who visited for making this a really fun event. Hope to see you guys next year!
  13. Was an awesome event btw!
  14. Couldn't make it due to work :( sounded awesome though!
  15. Thanks to all for coming out. We got to see some amazing banners on display.
