The Setup:

The competition will begin on Saturday the 20th and the teams will have 1 week to build their base and on Saturday the 27th at 6pm CST the wall between the areas will be removed and it’s PVP time!

Each team will have 6 records to place somewhere [...]]]> CAPTURE THE RECORD II

The Setup:

The competition will begin on Saturday the 20th and the teams will have 1 week to build their base and on Saturday the 27th at 6pm CST the wall between the areas will be removed and it’s PVP time!

Each team will have 6 records to place somewhere in their base, the opposing team must find and take these records to their respective “Record Stations” and push the button and place the record in the chest. Pushing the button will update the scoreboard built into the side of the wall, at the end of the game the records in the chest will be counted. If there is a discrepancy between how many records recorded on the scoreboard and how many records in the chest the latter will be the official count.

The “Record Stations” of each team will be inaccessible by the opposing team to prevent cheating. Also players depositing records should take care to only push the button once in order to keep the scoreboard correct.

The building of Stargates on their own network is permitted to connect the various areas of a team’s base. A private password protected Stargate will also be provided to each team to allow them to access their area during the 1 week build time.

Movecraft will be enabled in the Arena.

PVP Warzone:

The PVP portion of the game will have a 2 hour time limit, at the end of this time limit the winning team will be the one with the most capture records.

If at the end of the time limit the score is tied a “Lightning Round” of 15 minutes will be held. If the scores are still tied after that the game will be declared a draw.

The Control Point:

When the wall is removed a platform in the middle of the map over the void will appear, this platform will bridge the two sides together. This platform will have two color coded levers, the levers will light a flame up above the platform. Green team would light the green flame and flick off the Gold flame and vice versa.

At the end of the time limit of PVP, the team with it’s flame lit will get an extra point.

The Rules:

- No mining is to be done outside the designated Arena. Teams will be penalized if they are caught.
- The records must be held in a chest which is to be placed in a “Vault” (see below for Vault Info)
- MySpawn will be available for use.
- The Spawn area will be a No-PVP area and thus will be a safe area to type and to compose yourself before you head out into the combat.

Starting Materials:
Each team will be provided with the following materials:

- 30 Diamonds
- 64 Bedrock
- 64 Bricks

Vault:

Each team will be given 64 Lapis Lazuli block, the entrances to the vaults must be lined with these blocks. You will have enough to line the entrances for all 6 records and even make some decoys, you can also just elect to put all the records in the same vault and use the rest for decoys.

These vaults can be as big as you like with multiple floors and traps of all kinds to protect the records, decoy chests are also permitted. The chest containing the records must have at least one side open to air.

Entrance to the Vault can be protected with doors or can be blocked off with obsidian or other material so long as the outline of the doorway is lined with Lapis blocks and the Lapis is clearly visible. Bedrock is not permitted to be used to seal the entrance to the vault.

Media:

It would be great if both teams could take either video or pictures during the building and PVP time in order to get a more rounded coverage of the event.

Participation:

If you would like to take part in this event please let me know in-game, in this thread or in a PM. Regardless of whether or not you can be there for the PVP or if you don’t wish to take part in PVP at all, you can still be part of a team and help build up defenses or gather resources. Thanks to the way we are doing it this time around, there is an opportunity for everyone to get involved should they desire to.

If you can make it to the PVP event that’s even better!

Capture the Record:
There are two teams (Green & Gold) separated by a wall, the teams will have 2 hours to build a base and place their record somewhere in the base.

After the 2 [...]]]> This Saturday I will attempt to hold a Capture the Record game. If you don’t know what this is:

Capture the Record:
There are two teams (Green & Gold) separated by a wall, the teams will have 2 hours to build a base and place their record somewhere in the base.

After the 2 hours have elapsed, the wall will be removed and the two teams will be locked in combat against each other. The goal is to capture the opposing team’s record and to bring it to the spawn point and place it in the record player.

The leaders of each team will be given some starting materials:

30 Iron Ingots
24 Diamonds
25 Redstone Dust
1 TNT
10 Obsidian
10 Bricks
2 Lava Blocks
64 String
64 Feathers
64 Flint
10 Cactus

The remaining resources will need to be gathered by the team from the environment.

McMMO:
To make things fair for everyone, all McMMO stats for competitors will be reset for the game. Previous stats will be restored after the game.

Each competitor will have 500 levels to assign to any McMMO stat they wish prior to the start of the game. You can plunk it all in one stat or balance it out amongst all of them.

Rules:

-The Record must be held in a chest

-The room/area where the record is held must be accessible in some way. You can encase the room in obsidian but there must be a big enough doorway into the room to allow a player to walk in. You may use hidden doors to conceal the entrance but it must be there.

If you are interested in playing please reply to the post in the Elysium forum, RPG.net thread or email me: treefitty@pbpdepot.com and let me know what times you would be available on Saturday. The whole game should take 3 to 4 hours to play out.

I startle awake this morning, due to how quite it is. No noise, no birds, no wind thru the trees. Once again feels as if I am the only living person here.

Checking my compass I head back out and west following the road. I come across ‘New Haven Teleportation Station’  not much in side, kinda reminds me of a bus stop or train stop.

Continuing on I see a large arena, something called the spleef arena

there is also a store Dragavan’s Trees & Things

At this point I’m at a bit of loss, the road splits but no signs. So I go straight ahead.

I seem to come to a pier with another chest full of free stuff, I take a cow hide figuring I could use it as a pillow or blanket when I sleep.

Also large arrow pointing north. That is when I notice the ship out in anchor. (in anchor? Hell if I know I’m from a landlocked state, where do I get these terms????)

there is a tall tower to the south of the compass.

and I spend several hours just looking at all the sights.

Pass the compass and a flame dedicated to the explore Treefitty.
I follow the signs and take the Beach Trail around, it is much different that the other road, no sides, with the torches stuck right in the ground. I find a cute little beach bungalow on piers.

With trepidation I follow the road around to pirate cove. And find a tavern, The Pig and The Cutlass

Pass thru another station and in front of a inn, The Rusty Scabbard Inn *52, 53, 54, 55, 56*




from the roof

Near by is a magic cave.

I hesitate walking down the pier, a bit to close to the ship I think might be a pirate ship.

I notices the sun is setting so I head back to the inn. And tuck my self in to one of the rooms.
