  10. Ooo, I will be a builder!
  11. I may come to one of these once emc updates.
  12. Defend the castle event, eh?

    Sounds interesting.
  13. Lava walls will not be permitted at the event tonight. While I do like your thinking when it comes to defending the castle, there's simply too much risk for too little reward involved in using them.
  14. Alright then. Don't know about cows, but I'll bring the chicken eggs!

  20. Good work, this meme must be kept alive at ALL costs.

    On topic: this seems like quite a good idea. Why not expand it into a full-blown War of the Wastelands? Let people who are good at building create abandoned sites in Creative, then send it to staff privately, then they can pick one and plant it in the Wastelands with WorldEdit for the next event.

    Also maybe add an element of strategy. Post pictures of 3 sites, each with different types of loot, enemies, with each site taking you a different 'distance' to the enemy capital, a megabuild with the best loot and strongest enemies. So, one site might leave you 3 fights away from the capital, and would be low risk, but another might leave you 1 fight away, but would be higher risk and higher difficulty. Let people vote on which site to assault, then whichever one wins is WorldEdited in to a random location, and the event begins.

    Also, award additional loot to players depending on if they sustain a low number of deaths (relative to the average, maybe have a kill/death leaderboard?) and if the group as a whole has a low number of deaths (relative to the number of participants). And maybe find a way to reward players who vote in favour of the winning site where a successful battle takes place, and those who didn't vote for the winning site where the battle wasn't successful.
