Hello Arcatorians! Now, this is an idea I have just come up with. I haven't discussed with the other Owners, but I don't see why they would have a problem with it. I believe that I have determined the problem with MC3 (a faulty Linux drive). Once I get it up and working, before the official RPG MC3 goes up, I will be sponsoring an Arcator Race for the Wool match.

For those of you who don't know what RftW is, it's a competition map made by Vech (creator of the Vech's Super Hostile map series). Essentially, there are three chests, each with a different color wool (red, green, and blue). Each team has an identical arena, and must race to reach these three chests (battling through dungeons and obstacles) and return the wool to the "Victory Monument" at the start, while also avoiding TNT cannons and arrows fired from the opposing team.

I suggest we have Owners vs. Admin+s, except, due to the lack of JMA, we have uneven teams. This means one Admin+ will need to sit out and be a Moderator. They will film the competition while following the participants around, as well as make sure all participants are playing fairly. This Admin+ must be able to handle recording Minecraft with minimal lag. If no Admin+ is capable of this, a regular Admin will.

If this idea develops, we may be able to shape this into a full tournament, where members of the server are allowed to create their own teams and compete in a single-elimination tournament against other teams. It is suggested that you download the map and practice on your own, learning the amount of blocks between dungeons so you can easily travel underground. Also, you may want to practice your archery, because taking down opposing members will be essential to your teams success.

Comment if you would like this to be a tournament, rather than an Admin+ v. Owner match, and also comment if you support the idea and think it would be fun.

NOTE: There will be a 15-player cap on the server, which means with:

• 4 Owners participating
• 4 Admin+s participating
• and 1 Admin+ moderating

There is only room for 6 spectators. These spectators must be staff members, and also must be vanished and not interfering with the match. If a spectator breaks these rules, they are subject to punishment on the entire network. Comment if you would like to spectate, and the official list will be decided.

Update #1: Building off of helzee's idea: There will now be a tournament. There will first be play-in rounds where your team must play for a chance to enter the quarter-finals. 8 teams will make it to the quarter-finals. The number of play-in rounds is dependent on the number of teams that apply. Start making a team!

Update #2: There seems to be some confusion. Your team may consist of 4 players of any rank. There will be a random draw to decide the brackets of this competition. There will first be "play-in" rounds where you compete in preliminary rounds (that are not recorded). The winners of these matches (there will be 8 total) will compete in the quarter-finals, the winners of those will compete in the semi-finals, and the two winners will then go on to compete against each other in the CHAMPIONSHIP! Before this championship, there will be an Admin+ v. Owner game. It is undecided whether it will be 5 on 4, or whether an Admin+ will sit out. See below for a list of teams and recorders. Spectators will be drawn randomly once all of the matches are decided.

Update #3: Now that this post has been seen by many, I have created new rules for the tournament. There is a maximum of 16 teams, and you must register your team by Thursday, February 2th(...2th)?, 2012 at 0000 UTC (midnight).
