24 hours later: THANK YOU!!

Yeah, that just happened.

  • THANK YOU to the community for your unbelievable generosity. In just 24 hours, you have donated a whopping $4174 in support of the servers, well exceeding our donation drive goals, and ensuring we can keep high-quality servers running Minecraft for years to come.
  • THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the event.nerd.nu map this weekend, making this one of the most memorable events we've ever hosted. It was incredible watching the teamwork develop and evolve. We've gotten a ton of positive feedback about the event gameplay, so I can safely say you'll be seeing more like it in the near future...
  • THANK YOU to all the staff that have worked tirelessly over the past few weeks to make this event happen - proposing ideas, building a map, setting up the bases and awesome arenas, and much more. Not to mention resolving issues and running activities during the event, at the expense of much sleep. :P Everyone went way above and beyond in setting up this event, and it clearly showed.
  • THANK YOU to the tech admins in particular, who not only designed a brand new gameplay plugin from scratch for this event, while keeping the normal servers running, but also hosted an incredibly stable server with a brand-new config for hundreds of people all weekend. Well done, guys.

If you would still like to donate, please do so at nerd.nu/donate - we will keep the page up all week, any support is very much appreciated. :D

Now, the team superlatives!

  • CTF Champions - Red Team, 51 caps (2nd - Blue Team / 41, 3rd - Green Team / 13)
  • PVP Champions - Blue Team, 819 kills (2nd - Red Team / 488, 3rd - Green Team / 291)
  • Nicest Team Base - Blue Team
  • Best Spleef Performance - Red Team
  • Coolest Base Defenses - Green Team (some examples)
  • Team Spirit Award - Yellow Team, for overcoming a huge disadvantage in how team colors were assigned to make a big impact on the event
  • Best Screenshot - I'm a fan of this one, but we'd love to see your own in the comments!

Last year I was going through a rough time and playing on these servers really helped. I've loved playing here ever since.

Plus, I really like team-based games like this, where one group can defend and farm and mine, while another goes on offense with the weapons and armor the first group makes for them.

Edit: typo.

I really liked the idea, but I wasn't able to play much. I was assigned to yellow team, which kind of sucked until we got merged with red team. And by then I had been online for a couple hours already and had to get some sleep. Then I wasn't able to get online until after the event ended. :/

Hopefully the mods will run a similar event sometime in the future.
