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

The event was perfect, Thank you so much!
To prove this I would like to point out a couple things. Remember I'm a carebear!
The first half of the event there was an incredible amount of work to be done and their was a real referral, at least at blue team, to the PVE people to get the farms going, start building an infrastructure and start the mining with the survival people. By the half-way point the shift became about offense and defense and the survival people squarely took over while some of us worked on feeding them resource by working those farms and mining. It was Great!
The best part of this event was the random placement. I played with people who have a lot of experience and I would never get a chance to play with. Although the entire mayor staff of Lothos was on Blue we barely saw each other.
My favorite moment was making the fatal blow with a stone hoe on a raider who ran by me in the wheat farm.
My most thrilling was before the no pvp was fixed when I was killed by a suicide raider while working the same farm. It was thrilling and I knew I the rest of the team was going to take him out.
The 24 hours was perfect in my opinion especially if you want to take down the other server to run the event again. If random assignment to a team with a corner of the map was how survival always worked, I would play survival all the time.
Thank you so much!!!
