    Event Descriptions:

    40 questions, two winners per question!
    Per question, 1st place wins 1000r, 2nd place wins a diamond block. 1st place will get their rupees immediately. 2nd place can pick up their diamond block at the end.
    Answers must be in English. They do not have to be spelled correctly but they do need to be understandable. If I do not immediately understand what you are saying, it doesn't count!


    Time limit: 1 hour total, as many words as we can play during that time.
    I may or may not give you hints about what the word is. There will be a wall with one item frame per letter. My helpers will put in letters every time someone guesses one that's in the word. If the word has it, you will get 100r for each time that it appears in the word. Please guess only one letter at a time and wait for me to say if it's in the word or not. Use capital letters so it's easier to see. Any time during the round, you may guess what the full word is, as many times as you want. Spelling counts. Please talk in res chat or else I won't see your guesses.
    The first person who guesses the full word gets 1000r.
    Also, I need two helpers! You will be paid 5000r each. Who wants to help?


    Time limit: 1 hour total, as many pictures as we can draw during that time.
    I will not give you any hints about the picture; I will simply draw (build) it.
    Any time, anyone can guess what the picture is as many times as they want. The first person to guess it correctly gets 1000r.
    Guesses must be in English. They do not have to be spelled correctly, but they do need to be understandable. If I do not understand what it is that you're trying to say immediately, then it will not count!
    Also, while I am hosting, others are also free to draw. Each drawer must draw at least 5 pictures and must bring their own Efficiency V shovel.


    You must use the unenchanted iron shovels provided. Everyone enters the glass cage via the entrances at the corners of the glass cage. Once everyone is in, I will say "Ready, set, GO!" to indicate the start of each round. Dig the dirt underneath others' feet so that they fall! Last man standing wins 1000r. Second to last man standing wins 500r. After each round, use the dirt provided to reset the spleef floor; use the acacia doors to enter. 10 rounds total.


    The arena is made of ice.
    When running around outside of your spawn area, you must be in a boat. If your boat is destroyed, you must return to your team's spawn area to "respawn". You may not leave your boat while outside of the spawn area. The exceptions are when you need to stand on the raised blocks around the flags to either pick up the flag or plant it, or when you've been shot and are respawning.
    Archers can shoot at boats to destroy them. Archers can only shoot while on their own team's archer towers; bows and arrows must remain in the chests on the towers when not in use. Archers may only shoot at enemy boats that are in their own team's territory. Archers must use the bows and arrows provided in the chests on the towers. Only Archers are allowed to destroy boats.
    There are two ways to win. 1) Steal your enemy's flag and plant it in your own territory on the colored wool block. 2) Steal the three head-items from the three enemy's chests and display them on your own team's armor stands. There is a timer of 10 minutes per round, 3 rounds total. If time runs out, the team with the most captured head-items wins. If both teams have either no head-items or the same amount of head-items on the armor stands when time runs out, then there is a tie and everyone wins 2k. Otherwise, the winning team wins 3k per teammate and the losing team gets 1k per teammate. No forfeits.
    When stealing the head-items, only one head-item can be in your inventory at a time. You must steal all three separately, or have three people steal them at the same time, etc. You may not move your own head-items or flag; they must remain in their chests and on their wool.
    If your boat is shot while you are holding a flag or head, you must put the head or flag back to their starting spots before respawning.
    Everyone must wear a full set of the dyed leather armor that corresponds to their team, red or green. You may not switch teams in the middle of a round. All dyed leather armor, boats, bows, arrows, flags, and head-items are provided. Please do not use any items from outside of the arena.
    If you want, you may form a group with your teammates and talk in group chat to strategize.
    May the best team win!
    Note: Clouds roll in at this Y level, so you may want to turn off your clouds in Settings.


    Not a traditional parkour, it's an enderpearl race. Compete against other players using enderpearls to teleport to floating platforms to get to the goal!
    There's an easy mode and a hard mode. Easy mode is when you can only enderpearl to the floating platforms, meaning that if you miss, you just lose an enderpearl. Hard mode is when enderpearl is turned on everywhere, meaning that if you miss, you might fall and have to restart. "/v +minigame pp" to get back to the starting platform. There is also flowing water on the platforms that will try to push you off.
    In both modes, you are only allowed to throw enderpearls from platforms. If you're climbing the water or standing on the stone slabs, do not enderpearl. If you're on the wool ground, do not enderpearl. You may only enderpearl from the end stone platforms/boxes.
    There are multiple ways to earn rupee prizes. The first way is to get to the goal first. The goal is the top of the obsidian tower, inside of the iron bars. The second way is to collect treasure items from within chests spread out among the floating platforms. Please only take one item from each chest. Finishing first gets you 3,000r. Each treasure items gets you an additional 1,000r. There will be three chests with three items in them each, meaning that maybe 3 players will get 3,000r each from the items, or maybe 9 players will get 1,000r each. There are 3 rounds.
    Enderpearls are provided, but please return all extra enderpearls that you do not use. You may also donate enderpearls to the enderpearl chests.


    The archery range can be used at any time. Bows and arrows are provided. The targets are labelled, and some have fences to stand behind when firing. All targets have redstone lamp indicators. Some only have one while others have enough to tell when the archer hits bullseye.


    This can be used at any time. Saddled striders and warped fungi on sticks are provided. The start line is red while the end line is blue. Race to the finish and don't forget to return the striders and close the gates!


    Hope to see you there!

  10. My Supporter has been activated so you can host your own games on my res now!

  13. Changed the monthly point system. Games now have different weights based on how many times you can win 1st place in a game.
  14. Speedy Spleef has been added!
  15. Due to how busy my summer will become, Minigames Galore will not have monthly prizes anymore. I may not have time to host games every Saturday--I already know that the weekend after my finals, I will be hiking in Yosemite. Therefore, I cannot tally monthly scores because not all months will have an equal amount of games. I've updated the OP to reflect this; the Monthly Prize Donations Box will be changed into a Prize Donations Box later, in case people want to donate item prizes to event winners. Spice up the prizes so it's not just rupees.
  16. Someone suggested Capture the Flag and I figured out how we can play it!
    Banners serve as flags.
    Raiders ride in boats.
    Archers attack the boats.
    If you're riding a boat and it's destroyed, you need to go back to your side's start area.
    Your boat can only be attacked when you're in the enemy's territory.
    The floor will be ice, not water.
    Some snow columns will serve as barriers and towers around the field.
    Minimum 4 players, 2 on each team (one archer, one raider).

    To spice things up a bit, there are two options to win.
    1) You capture the enemy's main flag
    2) You capture 3 smaller items from the enemy's territory
    This makes it so that people aren't single-mindedly shooting at boats that come towards their main flag :D

    What do you guys think?

  17. Capture the Flag has been built! Get hyped, people, we have a team game!

  18. Guess My Word is today! Monthly Prizes have been discontinued, but I still feel like this is the first *official* official game. I can also /rshout now, which will make it so much easier for people to see if they got the letter or word right.
  19. I've decided to remove minigames from the rotation list if less than 3 people show up. This will hopefully cause the list to only hold games that people are interested in, or it will cause Minigames Galore to be discontinued if all games are removed. Minigames can be re-added to the rotation list if people ask for it and if enough people show up to it when it's test-reinstalled.
