However, if someone if willing to put money into a second server in the other location, I'd do that.
Tom i'm willing to buy (rent) a server for the duration of this tournament. It would be from LethalDrive. A 15 slot. Please PM here or on Skype, Please do not ask on the day or right before a match. I'm sure you won't do that, just saying.
My personal Server I do not recommend for the matches. YES IT can be used as all the bukkit plugins have been upgraded and etc. Recent Hardware upgrades and what not, I believe make the server stable to run up to 20-25 people but i do not trust my ISP.
wink don't forget to edit the first post or the original post. Thanks for wishing us the best. You know me and the rest of the crew via Skype wish you the best in your life outside of MineCraft. I know you'll be around. You always log into Skype at random times.
Also as MineCraft grows and keeps expanding i'm sure more maps will come out and more tournaments held. Wink You got us all together with a passion. You never dissapointed me (well that one time you said to make a bridge of dirt then changed your mine to wood :wink.gif: ) It's been a fun ride so far! I know it will only get better! This is not the end! :biggrin.gif: :smile.gif:
Thanks chess!
Yeah, the Wildlings match was awesome.
Post those videos, I'd like to see them :smile.gif:.
naw..... After the match i had a Faceplant! I was in the perfect spot for the last castle that blew up. You where saying "Cover me i have the Diamond pickaxe". I was coming down the water! I could see you guys running and arrows everwhere! peoples names dying! OMG it was EPIC!!!.... Now it's just in our memories :sad.gif: i'll get another one this week. *Oh like you said ProTip "Save the diamonds." Glad no one died with them on or over the edge.
Of all the recordings i had half of the match Friday night =(. On 1-13-11. that was the best match today for the wildlings. i have the recording of the Nightwatch. well the 10 min rush of me just running around in circles.
fun map!! Take a few tires but after it get's going it's fun.

All videos are made public now and Comments added. If the info on the youtube is not correct let me know.
Third day of playing. what is up with the Obsidian block? it's the same as just blocking the switch it self. Had a suggestion but any where you can dig the defending team would put obsidian to block the path to dig regardless. Best I came up with was the ceiling being wood or stone to make it a trip up over the room and dig down.
any who. Thanks for the Coal ores. i never found the iron. And i see where the endless mobs are coming from. But zikes!!! the smash and grab tactic is funny. Attacking team (us) gets the Diamonds and a Diamond pick and get's knocked off the map by a mob. :laugh.gif: so team failure again.
These are still being EDIT. THEY where all uploaded yesterday as i was sleeping. The link is private and will be public when the info is correct. I though it be nice to share them while they are fresh in our minds.
***Warning Explicit Language***It's hard to Bleep out all the Language. Also these are noting special. I don't think I even shot a bow. Don't forget the first round was less then 14 mins. I can not give you back your time for watching this. But, like all youtube, Thanks for watching
Thoughts on the Second day of playing. Besides the 14 min match. It was fun to play the defending side. I think some of the chest can have random stuff. As said before the "MC smash and grab" style is hard to get over but some of the chest could use stuff. More leather armor? Wooden tools? I mean your in a fortress?. shouldn't it be stocked piled? sorry i'm not familiar with the show.
Also I figure while on the defending team and talking after the match it seemed like no one was really resource gathering on the other side. Someone one come rush and die and we get all there stuff. Cool as that sounds they have to spend the next 5-10 mins regathering items and come back. A bit of team coordination and it seemed like a lot of them died from mobs. I think Lighting up the back wall area so the start for the attaching (wild-lings?) side can have a better start but a harder fight in the forest and caves then the ice wall. Also light up the track? did someone say there was a creeper on the track? Also maybe a second track so two people can go down the track at the start.
Thanks for hosting yesterdays game. I didn't record yesterdays match with Nick244 but if i did it would of been 40 mins of farming trees and cobblestone with a few creepers killed. It was a Smash and Grab round. Thanks for the pictures here. After the round i went over to the defending side and wonder how our team blew up so much stuff (in turn you guys said you blew up a few things by accident)
suggestions... hum...
1) 60 min limit round. don't see it here but i think it was stated on the rules on the map it self. So be ready for a 60mins match.
2) layer of coal or iron. Coal to light up the area. and Iron Maybe for armor if you guys see it fits. but i still think coal for lighting areas.
3) i never got past the farming part but as other said some sort of way to the switches. i guess it was hard to see or find the spots.
other thoughts...
as for resources you said yesterday in Skype they are scarce. i think the playstyle of MC in general is grab all the stuff in the chest and GO. Because someone took all the seeds and must of died somewhere far. Someone also had 64 torches and semi-light up the area and the team would die from monster rather then PVP. also to that effect when someone died in a spot with good resources and they can't be saved it would go to waste. again i think this is the just the playstyle of MC in general.
Oh and thanks for no Cannons/TNT. they always seem to be a waste of time and half the players on the team will build them and starts some sort of shouting match over Chat.
I know it's hard to balance a map. I'm sure with more testing and exposure you'll find the balance. Keep it up and hope to play more of this. :smile.gif: :smile.gif:
If any one needs a server to skirmish they are welcome to use my server. No more then 6v6 (or 4v4 with spectator). Please PM me.
Lag maybe bad if your out side of the U.S. as Wink (he's in Canada) seem to be have a bad connection and says the server is slow. But the last few weeks server has held up on 6v6 capture the wool and 4v4 Races. No more then 16 people. 12 to be safe.
Wink can you add me as a contact host for Skirmish matches in the Serverinfo host info in the Original Post?
SOMETHING LIKE THIS... edit as you see fit.
IP: Will be PM
Server: Vanilla Style, for quick setup
Whitelist: As needed, reset each match
OP: As needed, reset each match
Map: As requested (capture, race, skyblock, cake defense, Super Hostile, etc...) reset each match
*I have a Ban List, with one name on it so behave please.
Again, if you need any help with organizing or anything like that(or what I just did ), feel free to ask me, I'd love to help.
I've made this for wink. never asked him if he used an SS or just scrap paper on his desk. just a suggestion. 10++ pages is getting hard to keep track up
Only suggestion I have is start with no bridge or (an OP) remove a few planks. I apologize if it's been said before or what not. Keep up the Great work!!!
Any who the match was fun! Bad start but somehow came back.
