    :D

    Hi gang!

    Introduction

    So yeah... As some of you may know or may remember GripCEO is an alt which I use as piggy bank to hold the GRIP funds. GRIP, in case you don't remember (or are still somewhat new) is a non-profit organization with the main intent of helping griefed players. Before the awesome anti-grief update it sometimes happened that players found themselves griefed. In those cases GRIP would step in and refund a large sum (if not all) of your items in order to help you get going again (where the accent always was on building materials so that you could quickly repair your stuff).

    Over the past months I noticed that GripCEO had also build up quite an impressive amount of tokens. More than 90k! I consider all of GRIP's rupees as community property, so what about those tokens?

    Well, I suddenly had an idea...


    Why not give those away? Also.... why not also add a small catch to make this more challenging? ;)

    The event

    9 10 balls to rule them all... In the land of Empire Minecraft, where Aikar develops....

    The prize: 9 10 AVA launchers (What's an avalauncher?) & 2 Blizz'Ards noses (What's that?).
    1 Avalauncher & 2 Blizz' noses kindly donated by Crazy_X_Gamer.
    The twist: 1 winner per SMP. 1) 2)
    The judge: The always fair & unbiased AyanamiKun.

    The challenge: Please share why you would like to win an ava launcher, try to be creative.
    The failsave: Also share your favorite number in case Aya can't come to a decision.

    The End: This event ends in 2 weeks tops (6th of August) OR.... After Aya has liked 9 posts in this thread. Aya's likes define the outcome: if she likes your post you're a winner.

    1) We'll be using /res list on your name and whatever residence is listed as your first will be considered your home on your home server. In case you don't have a 1st res then common sense will prevail (example: you mixed things around and got 2 residences on SMP8 and the one on SMP9. Then the majority counts: you'd be counted as an SMP8 resident).

    2) 1 Ava launcher & the 2 Blizz' noses don't follow the above rule, so even if Aya liked a post there's still a chance :) (that's probably going to be a mutual decision, I dunno yet).

    Your event organizers:
    This snap serves no purpose other than looking cool :cool:

    Good luck everyone!

  3. And time for a small bump.

    Number: It is 17 but I will choose 18 for this :p
  5. And a small bump.
  6. I want one so I can have a snow ball fight whenever I want and no one can stop me :p
    Number: 216 just in case

  7. I second this notion for Sach winning.

    I want one so that I can have a snowball fight with Sach whenever I want.
    13, just in case.
  8. Sooo 15. (wow lots of low numbers)

    One of my residences is slowly being transformed in to a winter wonderland future home for some polar bears. ....5 to be exact, I even have names (just made up now) Blitz, Grizzle, Tower, Anger and Charlie. You always have to have a *Charlie , sorry, just one of the rules. Once I have everything in place, we'll get that biome operation, and then I would use my brand new snow ball tossing machine to fill their home full of snow! To boot I can stand on top of my villager breeder and throw snow balls (and the occasional villager <-- messy!) at them from my main res!

    Actually, I know it will not let me use the snow and I'm not sure I want to win but I can't help but post in these things for the fun of it.

    *We have pure bred Shih Tzus and we used to have puppies. My kids would always name one in each litter Charlie.

  9. I would like to have it since I'm trying to get a stack of them, so that I can truly say I'm inconvinceble. (which James Bond movie was that? "I'm inconvincible" and then the building falls on his (evil) head) And you know, I share everything with TomvanWijnen and sometimes things get a little hairy, and I always like to have a way to say him I'm right.

    For the fool-proof method, I'll take 68, (you'll also find out my main res is 968)
