Title: Server Events!

Noobscraft Weekly Events!

The Noobscraft Team have decided that due to the success of our events in the past, we will be doing weekly events! - This will be the community members choice (You will be able to vote on a poll) every week, events will alternate every week, so they aren't monotonous or dull.

We have decided to do this because we would like to bring the great community we have already, closer; this is also a chance for the community members to get to know the staff better. We also think that Survival Minecraft is very repetitive, this will be an opportunity to 'spice' things up a little, and also to socialise with other community members of Noobscraft, and mainly to meet new people!

These events will be hosted on a chosen night every week - Either Friday or Saturday Night, and they will be hosted by Waterworth and occasionally other staff guests.

More information will be available soon, however I would just like your thoughts on this!

*This is not mandatory you do not have to attend!

Here is the link to the voting thread! - http://www.noobscraft.com/server-announcements/server-event-schedule/ (http://www.noobscraft.com/server-announcements/server-event-schedule/)

Please note that we are taking ideas for events, so if you have any amazing event idea contact Waterworth about it, or you could post it here.

Make sure to detail out what the event will be about though and what the overall goal will be. Perhaps even a way to implement the event as well, if it's something that might be hard to do.

Last man Standing?
Like 20 or more go into PVP and the last person alive wins

That's sounds like a good idea, so it could be in a big arena?

Yep

1. If mob arena were to come back we could do a last person alive gets a reward.

2. A ultimate town where 2 people from each town fight week after week like American NFL and in the end there is a ultimate winner (town).

3. A large parkcour course competition

4. Some cool mini-games

5. A scavenger hunt?

6. A Archery target game?

7. A sorta lazer tag game with arrows and teams and bases(I could go into more detail if needed)

8. Giant 3D maze

With use of command blocks I could think up some awesome things.

Just random Ideas that popped into my head

Another idea is a thing called grid it is sorta like the cube except harder you spawn in a place like sky block and you are on one block of something to the front of you ther is a block floating behind you to the sides of you and above and below you you have to jump to each block and if you miss you fall in to a endless death sorta like if you fall off in the end

We could trial that and see if it works.

This sounds very cool. Will there be rewards and prizes for participating?
Title: Re: Server Events!
Post by: suppusmac on 23 Jan 2013, 01:49:40
This sounds absolutely awesome. But I'm wondering, even though the events are supposed to take place on Friday or Saturday, will some events last an entire weekend? Kind of the same sort of idea as double mcmmo experience weekend, but with new and original full weekend event ideas!

Depending on how many players we have an which event it is, we may have a full events weekend.

Well the cube it self is a prize for just participating becuas it is composed of ores and other valuables

Well my idea is racing. Setup 3 lanes or more with hazards like deep pits, 1 block lava pools 2 blocks deep, scatter some webs equally in each lane. 1st, 2nd, and/or 3rd place prizes. Those prizes can vary.

ummfredfelizco and I came up with two ideas for full weekend events:

1. Double drop weekend: All items that are harvested drop twice the amount they usually do. The idea is that if when players  are harvesting some sort of item, they will 100% get a double drop, but also mcmmo can double that double drop. And then the same thing with fortune enchantments. So you could be harvesting some stone with a unechanted pickaxe, and manage to get 4 cobblestone from one block.

2. Special Drops weekend: The idea is that you can gain special drops from items. For example, every harvestable item could have the effect of silk touch for the weekend, without the enchantment silk touch. So an example is mining stone with an unenchanted pickaxe and receiving the stone instead of cobblestone.

3. Buff Weekend: This one is a bit simpler. The idea is that all players will receive a potion or beacon buff for the entire weekend. An example would be everyone getting the haste buff for the weekend, so they can break blocks quicker. This works with just about any buff really.

Friday might be ideal if we just get back from work/school in time to relax. Saturday might have it's business.

I was thinking more along the lines of events, so people can meet up and have fun, thanks for the suggestion though.

you could do builing challenges like who can make the coolest looking house and the moderators could be the judges or a parkour challenge like you make a huge course and the first person to complete the course wins

We actually do have something very similar to this in the Events World. It's the Race Assault Course.

Something I'd love to see would be the Warzones plugin, it was one of the most exciting plugins for me. I assume it was removed because it was out of date or/and had bugs, but if you could maybe limit it to a weekend event instead of a 24/7 events portal, I think it might just work.

The building idea is nice in theory. However, people will complain about not having the same materials or not being able to afford them. There would have to be a way to prevent sabotage and tampering. It's also judged by opinion, which is sure to provoke some people with bad sportsmanship. If everyone was a good sport about the contest, it would be refreshing to be able to compete against others without PVP involved. Not that PVP is bad, it's much more exciting. >:D

Agreed. It'd be chaos without constent supervision which just is too much time taken up from the mods or admins. The lack of materials for some players could be easily sorted out by a limit of materials or even a area before the competition in which you have to get everything to build. Like a mini tree farm an cobble mine set up by mods or admins. But that still doesn't mean people will agree with the judge's rulings but in all I think it would be a enjoyable event if people agreed to play by the rules with set consequence's.
