[Survival Decorating Contest!]

Hey everyone!!

This spooky season, Maya546 and I want to introduce you to the Survival Decorating Contest! We have created an entire Pumpkin Patch in-game at /warp SFTPumpkinPatch (sftpp for short) where you can decorate up some pumpkins in Minecraft! Many people carve pumpkins, as we did last year, but many others tend to decorate them with paint and clothing, which is what we are looking for this year!

As for the Contest itself, everyone who wants to participate will be given one pumpkin that they can decorate up! You are only allowed to build outside of the pumpkin! In fact, very little of your pumpkin should be altered, instead building around the outside and the features of the pumpkin itself.

If you want to participate, reach out to one of our Manager+ and ask them for a pumpkin at the SFT Pumpkin Patch! Please be aware that we are a small team, so we will not be around 24/7 and bothering the team will barr you from entering the contest!

Your pumpkins will be judged by Maya546 and I on two factors: Complexity and Thematic Inspiration! If we find the top two pumpkins to be equally themed and complex, we will split the prize equally among the two decoraters! So if you want to win the grand prize, you will have to make your pumpkin have a theme and complex, as well as follow our rules for the competition as stated below.

The competition rules are as follows:
  Your pumpkin MUST be appropriate and follow server rules!
  You are allowed to edit outside of your pumpkin's outer layer ONLY if you are adding a nose or a hat.
  No changing the color or shape of your pumpkin.
    You are allowed to house your items in chests at your pumpkin, but make sure to remove them before the competition ends!

Now, for the prizes everyone wants to know!
The winner shall receive... 1 million emp and 10 arcade vouchers.
ALL participants shall receive... 75k emp and a Custom Item![/b]

The competition will end on Halloween Night at 11:59pm EST  so get to carving! Maya and I look forward to seeing your pumpkins (:

Happy spooky season! For the month of October, the voting contest provides the opportunity for, what the kids say, "hella" Arcade Vouchers. For every 7 votes, you can receive 1 arcade voucher.

Happy Voting!

[Welcome to Season 1 of our Community Events: Valtellini Valley]

Welcome to Season 1 of our Community Events: Valtellini Valley

"Welcome to Valtellini Valley. The earth has fallen to pieces and this is the last safe-haven that exists. The walls are fortified from the outside world, but you can still smell and hear some of the chaos that exists. You are tasked with rebuilding humanity in a way that can withstand the cruel environment outside these walls. Take a few days to create a base and get familiar with the area. Soon, the outside will start creeping in. How long can your civilization last?"

How Community Event Seasons Work
In an effort to bring together the community and provide some more interesting ways to engage, the Manager+ team has taken an idea originally suggested in our #survival-feedback chanel. Community Events allow for our users to have a set-aside time to work together as a community towards the Season goal. This season, the survivors in Valtellini Valley must band together to create a thriving society. The world is chaos outside the valley, and players will be faced with many challenges that they must prepare for. Zombie hoards, extreme weather, and even back-stabbing are all possibilities while restarting the world.

A Manager+ will announce 2 weeks in advance the time(s) that they will be hosting the event. A regular schedule would be 2-4 play sessions prior to a "wave" coming on, and the participants needing to defend or recover from the devestation. A schedule will be outlined in a post in the Community Projects board, as well as posted in the Discord. Plan on attending to earn your way towards the Season 1 special prizes and memorabilia!

Current planned schedule:

First Release: Saturday, February 24th at 8pm CST (countdown here: link)
Following Play times:
Monday, February 26th at 7pm CST
Friday, March 1st at 9pm CST
Tuesday, March 5th at 7pm CST

First Wave: Saturday, March 9th at 12pm CST

See you all soon! Warp will be provided in-game!

Solve the math sudoku by filling in the correct numbers based on its order of operations.

Within the last month an onslaught of comments on unbans that aren't the person's that is commenting has happened. (Warlock_ben being the best example).

This is just a reminder that if you comment on an unban that is not yours, and you were not asked to comment, you will be forum warned. This will be strictly enforced starting now. This could result in loss of rank for Legends if it is excessive and repeated. Just use common sense.

If you absolutely must say something, either ask the staff member in charge of it or the Manager+ team before posting or be at peace with the warning you will receive.

Hello! Recently, my Ag Business class has taken over a website hosting ag jobs. The program used behind it is WordPress. We want this website to be developed and marketed by students, so I asked to learn how to run and work it.
Only one teacher has training behind it, so if someone who has ample knowledge and is willing and able to teach it to me could, I would love it. A little more than the basics but I do not expect to excel in the program.

Thank you!

Howdy ! We all love potatoes. Towelie even had a potato awareness day. Now, anyone who is pro-potato please look away, but what form do you love to eat? I could eat fried potatoes all day long. Chips are good, especially hickory-smoked barbecue.

What about you? What kind of potatoes do you love most? Do you only eat potatoes with a certain type of condiment?

Hey there!

What kind of things are considered rude/inappropriate/impolite in your life and culture? Are there things that are considered such that you think are unique only to you and your life? What kind of things do you find rude/impolite/etc? With different cultures practicing different things, maybe some things you do would be shocking for other cultures to do.

In my life, speaking with food in your mouth, having your phone out at the dinner table, and chewing with your mouth open are all considered extremely rude. No one really cares about taking off your shoes or if you speak out of turn.

If you leave a comment, try to point to what part of the world you are from/what kind of culture you are influenced by!

Sang to the tune "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from Frozen:

Do you want to buy some diamonds?

No?

Okay byeeee.

You sang it, I hope. Our Marketplace is getting a little slow. Let's clean out our chest and sell some stuff to others. Maybe you're one of the others that needs some stuff, make a post saying you'll buy it! The board really is a great place to get what you want. Whether it be buying, selling, or auctioning I'd be happy to see you make a post!

Remember to do the following when you make one!

• Read the forum rules before posting
• Read the Marketplace rules before posting! This is an important one. There are quite a few special rules for posting!
• Keep active on your post! Don't forget about it! I'll eat it if you do 
• Remember a closing date! Something that is always forgotten. 1 day to 1 month!
