PokéCraft - A four-day Minecraft extravaganza
 
Greetingssssss...


http://i51.*.com/242ybmh.png

Welcome to the
PokéCommunity Get-together #8
Minecraft event!

Prepare yourself for four days of block-smashing, Creeper-hunting fun in The PokéCommunity's first ever Minecraft event! All weekend long, vie for riches and supremacy with the official Minecraft currency of... gunpowder. You'll have to get down 'n dirty with the mobs if you want to walk away victorious.

› Mine... wha?
————————————————————

Minecraft is a sandbox game. It allows you to build and craft many objects, including fortresses, monster traps, weapons and armor, and more. You can buy Minecraft for US$15 from the official site.

› Cool. So what's the objective of this game?
————————————————————

The objective of Minecraft is very simple: DON'T DIE. Well, that's for most people.

Here, the rules are a little different. Your task is to collect as much gunpowder as possible. There are a few different ways to collect gunpowder, some of them harder than others... what is the best way? You'll have to figure that out for yourself. I can't help you. ^_^

› How will you be able to tell who has the most gunpowder?
————————————————————

It's simple. When you first spawn into the server, there is a unique structure there which cannot be destroyed. You take a screenshot, with the structure visible to prove it's our server, and your name visible to prove it's you.

Stand beside the structure, so that it is clearly visible on your screen. Then write your name into chat (press T to talk), bring up your inventory (press E) and take a screenshot. You can either use a program, which will have its own defined hotkey, or you can press Print Screen, and then paste the results into Paint and save.

Screenshots must be posted in this thread by Friday the 18th, at 8pm AEST. Click the link to see what time that is around the world.

I recommend Fraps for taking screenshots.

› Sounds awesome, but what do I get for winning?
————————————————————

The person (or people, in case of tie) with the most gunpowder at the end of the four days will receive $5 of PC supporter credit. That means you will move up one tier of PC supporter status.

› Ooh! I'm keen. What are the rules?
————————————————————

You mean the server rules? This is the wild west baby, there ain't no stinkin' rules. Griefing is absolutely fine, killing people for their gunpowder is fine, etc. Forge alliances, built TNT traps, destroy people's bases, it's all a-OK. :)

On a serious note, there are rules about etiquette on the server.

No personal abuse for any reason. Riling the opposition up is fine, but no attacks.

Don't try to disrupt the server by spamming chat, making huge redstone structures etc. You will be banned.

Follow the PC rules, obviously. Except for the 25-character rule, you can break that in-game. :P

Most importantly, have fun! Don't take it too seriously.

› We we we so excited! How do I play?

Big thank you to Steve for the subdomain! :)

Don't forget to let everyone know in-game what your PC name is. Can't wait to see you there!

Love,

when does this start? or has it started already o--o

Spectrum July 15th, 2011 9:56 AM

It's started already, lol. You can join the server whenever.

Lady Gaga July 15th, 2011 4:52 PM

I am working on it now...mwhahahah creepers gonna creep

Amew July 15th, 2011 8:42 PM

Awesome! I'm gonna get right to this. Later.

Tomandgreen July 15th, 2011 9:37 PM

I'm soooooo there. Beware, Tom the terrible will stop at nothing! NOTHING!

Circuit July 16th, 2011 2:22 AM

I am up for this :D Just found my self a nice creeper pit, so lets see how this works out :D So, good luck everyone! I can't wait to see how you all do - I'm not going to get that much I'm sure xD

Pave Low July 16th, 2011 5:06 AM

My UN: iYoozle

joining the server...

institutions July 16th, 2011 6:19 AM

Meant to join yesterday, but my copies of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Tales of Vesperia arrived in the mail and I totally forgot :P

I'll probably be joining in later on today.

I do have one question, though (that probably won't get answered before I get on):
Is there anything up at spawn, like a town or something?
It's cool if there isn't, I just don't want to join and immediately die right when I spawn :P

institutions July 16th, 2011 7:11 AM

Cool :D

Do we have any commands available to everyone?
On the other server i'm a member of there are a few I use quite often (/spawn, /sethome, and /home)

Circuit July 16th, 2011 9:18 AM

I'm joining. This aught to be fun. Just to confirm, we're gathering gunpowder yes? And any way we can, right?

Lady Gaga July 16th, 2011 9:19 AM

^ im just guessing by not hacking tho :P

Circuit July 16th, 2011 9:26 AM

No, that would be unfair x) Besides, is it even possible to hack a multiplayer sever? And the reason I joined was for the fun of the challenge, so I shall be doing it fairly :)

Yes, any way you can, except for hacking. :P

Have fun!

XDragonRiderX July 17th, 2011 12:11 AM

how do i put it in? Minecraft only has IP for SMP.

bobandbill July 17th, 2011 1:46 AM

No it doesn't - inputting what is given (ie 'minecraft.pokecommunity.com:7559') will work.

XDragonRiderX July 17th, 2011 1:47 AM

Nvm. need a premium account :(

Spectrum July 17th, 2011 1:52 AM

Yes, you need a beta account to play, if that's what you mean.

Reminder: You have 24 hours from this post to submit your screenshots!

Yuukihime July 17th, 2011 7:04 PM



I am so SIIIICK of hunting creepers but here is the end result :> I couldn't get the chat and my inventory to open at the same time so I just hot barred all the gun powder.

/sick of minecraft now, going to go play a different game XD

institutions July 17th, 2011 7:30 PM

Whoops.
Logged off and totally forgot about this x.x
Instead I played 13 hours of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood today.

I was building a grinder, too. I wanted to win. Not for the PC subscription, but for the... prestige? I think that's the word. :P

Nihilego July 18th, 2011 2:36 AM

Out of interest, will the Minecraft server still be online once the GT8 is finished?

DowntownDumpling July 18th, 2011 4:07 AM

I'm too afraid of getting addicted to Minecraft to start playing it. It looks sooo cool.

Nice job. :D I'm gonna wait until 8pm PST in the US, because people might be confused about the timezones, but at this stage it looks like you'll win. :)

If people keep using the server, then yes. I can't really afford to keep renting a server nobody's going to use.

Lady Gaga July 18th, 2011 7:52 AM

I really cant compete with all that gunpowder, since Ive been so busy with all the other events, but just know, the PC server, if still up, will be my go-to Minecraft site, I really like how its set up and everything :)

Glad to hear it! I hope server activity will remain high enough to justify keeping it.

In related news, Yuukihime has won the gunpowder contest! Let's all congratulate him/her (?) for their efforts! :D

As a big "Thank you!" for everyone who participated in, or supported, the event, here's an update video showing our progress in the server so far. It features the wonderful voices of Signomi, Alternative and Sotomura. <3
