[Event] Miner Mania: New Beginnings Edition!

Discussion in 'Empire Events' started by JDHallows, Feb 8, 2017.

  1. Hosted by: Sazukemono
    The fun starts at 11:55 pm EMC time!
    Located in the wastes on SMP3!
    Northern Wastes outpost, then click the sign on the red wool pillar (also to the North in the outpost)


    What: We will be mining. It's that simple. No PvP, No competition. Just mining for the resources and to get out of town for a bit. We may also need to defend ourselves from the various nasties that decide to threaten our beginners' village!

    What is "New Beginnings?": In New Beginnings, we go out into the waste without bringing any items from town! Like a new single player world, we will start out in a new location and build ourselves up, but as a team. Start punching trees, collecting animals, farming crops, and then we will be able to start mining with a wood pickaxe! (When was the last time you held one of those? :eek:)

    Who: Anyone and everyone is invited to join. No matter your experience level in-game you will have fun mining with us!
    Where: The server location will be released in the event broadcast messages with the exact location being released just prior to the event starting. We may be in the Overworld or Nether. Check broadcast for info each week.
    When: This is a special edition event, so it will be the decision of the hosting staff member when to do this instead of the normal Miner Mania. Thus, it will not be held as often as a regular Miner Mania, but if players enjoy it we will do more of them.
    Why: For FUN!

  6. I've gone out into the wild empty handed and started a few mini bases. It's fun for awhile but better when people are with you. :rolleyes:

  12. Sounds fun, too bad I won't be able to make it :( I have a project that'll probably put me over in time. Hopefully I will be able to, but not likely.

  13. If you open yourself up to the idea to play without god gear and such then this can be tons of fun. And I'm not just saying, I speak from experience. Aya and me are doing the exact same thing in our outpost. And trust me: fighting enraged creepers with an iron sword isn't easy! :eek:

    Or that moment when you managed to kill a blaze, got some rods from it and while admiring your new (fully) self made brewing stand you suddenly realize: uh oh, it also needs netherwart :D

    Seriously: it can be very rewarding to go out mining and also find a good use for all that cobblestone which you'd normally might /dispose because you were aiming for iron and gold. Smelt it into stone, use that to make stone bricks and in no time you got some decent looking path ways and stairs and such.

    Awesome idea JD!
  14. Well it was a ton of fun, and I definitely had a blast! (Literally, I was hit by a couple creepers throughout the night). Overall, it seemed to go really well and it looked like people really enjoyed themselves. This type of event will definitely be done again in the future based on the feedback I got.

    Thank you all for coming, everyone did an amazing job! I am very impressed with how much you guys did within 2 and a half hours. See you all again soon! :)
  15. The dangerous Kyoko is out of her cell xD Mwahahaha

    Also this event was really fun! I hope to see it again in the near future :D
