It has been quite a while since I have given much information on Utopia, mostly just little things like what the town lighting system is, what the name will be, how I plan to build the pre-built houses, what parts of town there will be. After much thought (and many trashed ideas), with the help of SmithB0118, zebra903, and deebles17, I have an idea for an Events Area. The area will include:

2 Checkers and 2 Chess boards (Info below)
PvP arenas
Spleef
Dungeon Escape Course (Info below)
Different Holiday Themed Roller Coasters with different objectives (Info below)
Shoot the Sheep (Info Below)
Parkour Mountain
Deebles's Town Mining Caves (operated by deebles17)
Three Noobscraft Towny Games Arenas (Sort of like Hunger Games arenas)

Checkers/Chess: Play on a 24X24 wool Checkers/Chess board and try to vanquish your opponent using the carpets as pieces.

Dungeon Escape Course: Use your wits and problem solving skills to solve riddles and puzzles and escape out of Dark Lord Eval's Dungeons!

Shoot the Sheep: Try to get the perfect opening to shoot and kill the sheep in your kill box before anyone else kills theirs! You will be standing in a glass box with pistons pushing and pulling on the floors, ceilings and walls of the box, with 1 place to shoot out of. Kill your sheep before anyone else kills their sheep and you get a prize! Maximum 4 players per game, as there will only be 4 boxes.

Roller Coasters (WARNING: YOU CAN LOSE YOUR ITEMS IN THESE COURSES!!!):
 
The "Utopia Thrill Ride" is the regular roller coaster. In it, you must switch levers to keep your train on the tracks and keep you from falling to your death and drowning. It is open year-round.

The Halloween-themed "Haunted Mineshaft" Ride is only during open during the fall months. You must fend off the monsters as well as staying aware of when to jump out of the speeding cars going fast into huge drops and pits of lava or dark rooms where monsters will kill you. In addition, you must find your way in the dark through Jack O. Lantern's Labyrinth, and once you get to the end you can finally see daylight once more.

The Christmas-themed "Rooftop Flight" roller coaster is only open during the winter months. In it, you must throw dirt blocks into brick chimneys, where they will activate a pressure plate, allowing you to continue. You must read the signs and try to solve the questions and get the "presents" (the dirt blocks) in the right place and outwit the infamous Boogieman and his tricky traps and pitfalls!

The Easter-themed "Easter Egg Hunt" roller coaster is only opened during the spring months and will be a roller coaster with no ways to die, just flick switches to find the Easter Eggs and move on to the next part of the ride.

Our Summer ride will not be announced until the winter, although construction on it will most likely already have begun.

Another thing I wanted to tell you about is where I plan for Utopia to be. I am hoping for it to be in a large extreme hills/mountain biome, near/around a lake or ocean so my residents can fish and boat in the water. The Town Spawn will be a mountain (Yes, I said A MOUNTAIN, not IN A MOUNTAIN) named Mount Utopia, and it will be hollowed out for Town Staff offices, rule board, notice board (what events will be/are taking place in Utopia), Grande Meeting Hall, and Town Storage (only available to plot-master, architect, TA, Sub-Mayor, or Mayor) and will have levels of access according to your position. (Plot-master room leads into Architect room, where only Architect or higher can access, Architect room leads into TA room, where only TAs and above can access, and so on).

I will add pictures once more work has been done to these ideas.

See you in V6,

Over the past few days, or even weeks I've seen a few people say things like "I'm sick of waiting for v6. I'm so bored. All my friends don't play anymore. It's such a waste of time," blah blah blah and the only thing I can think of is how I don't understand why they think that way. V5 and Noobstown in general is about making memories and making new friends. That's what I have done since V6 was announced. I have done nothing but just build random, awesome stuff with people and make new friends along the way. I've made some of the best memories I'll ever have in my Minecraft life and met players I probably wouldn't have met otherwise. Of course, at times I am even bored and also sometimes feel like "eh what's the point?" but for the most part I spend my time building a space ship with edixsabourin or building an awesome treehouse with appleyeScB or just riding around on horses with jackmwoodall14 or helping digdugdad with his sugarcane farm. You're not having to worry about money or skills or finding a town and building a house, you're just building random stuff and having fun with it. I'm not only getting tokens with the time spent online but I'm also making memories and while some old friends may not play with me anymore because of V6 reasoning I'm making new friends in the process.

I just wish more people would see that. V6 will be awesome when it comes out and I know, KNOW that it will be worth the wait.

Cheers to that GG

You're beginning to hurt my feelings a bit Luke... I offered you Head TA of Utopia and you're looking for other employment options?

I need more staff members still! Apply if you want to be a staff member in Utopia!

As Noobeish suggested under towns and nations at http://www.noobscraft.com/towns-nations/annual-town-battle!/ a few days ago, in V6 we the players and owners of towns and nations should host our own sort of Towny based Noobscraft spin on the Hunger Games. It sounds quite interesting to me, what do all of you think of the idea?

So no set date on V6 yet?

That is a part of towny and the server can't edit towny plugin.

Exactly right

I believe around April Fools 2012 Esp1222 hosted a Hunger Games that was much like this. I would gladly host or help host something like this with Noobscraft when V6 comes out. Since I'm guessing there will be 2 or 3 main Nations, hopefully 4 as to make the championship game more interesting, there could be qualifiers within the Towns, then a First Round within the Nation the Towns belong to. As a rule, all participating Nations must have NO LESS THAN 4 TOWNS within them. As another rule, towns would have to have AT LEAST 20 members in them to qualify. The tournament could be called "The Noobscraft Town Battle Tourney". Each town should 1 or 2 arenas in them, unique from other towns and both would have to be different "themes". Like woods, mountains, deserts (maybe not a good idea too flat), a volcano (naturally spawning of course, or the admins could help with the building of it), an underground cave system, a secret laboratory, a giant mansion, etc. As a twist, if the winner of the First Round's (within a Nation) partner was killed in the games, the dead person is brought back to make there be 2 people per Nation. The losing towns would have to pay the victors' town 5k Noobz each. Then the Town Mayor would give the victors of his town a minimum of 1k each. There could also be a second place game to have 2 more players from a DIFFERENT Town Within the Nation go on to the Final Round. Then we would go into the Final Round, between Nation Champions. The winners of the Final Round have the other Nations pay the victors' nation 20k each (the tax split among each of the town OR have the Nation Capital pay it all off themselves (AKA the person who created the Nation's town)). Then the winning town could have a big party or something and they'd announce the location of the next Noobscraft Battle Tourney town location for their Nation and then pick the Final Round's location. To make things from being a huge blowout, the winning town from each Nation of that month would not take place in the next month's tournament.

So, my conclusion is that this looks like a great idea. We could start an official "Noobscraft Battle Tourney" thread after V6 is about a month or two old and then get towns started with the building of the arenas and selecting their fighters.

Yes I will is there any specific way you want me to?

I can teach you when V6 rolls around, or do /town set plot

This is for Town Staff Application for Utopia V6. I have already picked part of my staff team. My staff team is going to have to be quite large since I hope to accommodate so many people and have so many things to do/keep running. I need 25 TAs, 10 Architects, 5 plot-masters, 5 recruiters. Note: This is NOT including the town staff I have already picked, so the numbers will be lower at the end of this post, where I will post the amount I need INCLUDING the Town Staff I already have. If you wish to apply for a Staff post, follow the code at the very bottom.

So far I have this for a Town Staff:

Mayor: HarryX11 (Obviously)

Sub-Mayors: SmithB0118 (Co-Mayor, Does Redstone Projects for Town), deebles17 (Co-Mayor, Head Plot-Master), zebra903 (Sub-Mayor, Head Recruiter), 500manhunt and stickeyfingers (Co-Head TAs). All posts for Sub-Mayors filled. Not recruiting other Sub-Mayors unless I lose the majority of these people.

Current Town Assistants:v500manhunt and stickeyfingers (Head TAs), failcade (Head Architect), cat19096, winkalina, HerrAir, JaredSW12, flyinghotdog1, joeyishar, and somejob. 10/25 filled posts, 14 spots available.

Current Architects: failcade (Head Architect), el_roux, Wooden_Lampshade, aXxIgoRawrxXa, Mrsparks727, Nat3Nipp13Hair, and Tiberius1999. 7/10 filled posts, 3 spots available.

Current Plot-Masters: deebles17 (Head Plot-Master). 1/5 filled posts, 4 spots available.

Current Recruiters: zebra903 (Head Recruiter). 1/5 filled posts, 4 spots available.

These people were chosen because: A. I know them in real life, B. They are TAs in Snakevenom, C. They have won the Architecture competition in Snakevenom, or D. (In the case of failcade) One of the builders of Mineapoc, Noobscraft's sister server. All of these people are either very old players and know a lot of the Towny commands, and have experience with town staff positions, or are new and have quite a bit of potential.

To apply for a Town Staff post, follow the below code:

In Game Name:

If accepted as Town Staff, do you agree to donate your time, Noobz, and some materials to the town's cause?
When I accept a person as Town Staff, I will update this post and include their Username and how many spots left for that post. Make sure to check often if you haven't posted yet and want to so you can make sure the spot you wanted isn't taken!

*You can check your date registered by either clicking on "Profile" on the site, or going on to the server and doing /res [Your Username]. Note: "/res" may not always be correct, especially if you have been inactive for 3 months or more previously.

This thread is specifically for any questions you want to ask about Utopia. Ask away, you guys. I'll usually answer within a day or two, and if I don't, SmithB0118 or deebles17 will, and very rarely Olah0001 or zebra903 will.

FINALLY!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!! Can't wait for the update! PS I think with these awesome new custom biomes Utopia is going to be in a different area then it was originally planned but it looks like with these other biomes we will be moving Utopia to another place where the town will be even more of a perfect town. Is there an area in the world where 4 biomes or at least 3 collide with each other?
