I came home a couple days early (started to pick up some variation of ConSARS, methinks), so I did a quick test when I walked in the door; worked beautifully. I think this'll be awesome for game day!

I jabbered a bit with Drew last night to make sure things were working, and they are. I'll get Jess set up tonight so we'll be ready to go tomorrow night.
Woohoo! P.S. How is it that my first ever Applenova voice-dribble was with a crazy pirate?? - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful. We are also loaded with smart-alecks! :) - Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. (Mat 5:9) |

One more update to the list!
Turtle also mentioned earlier in-game that two of his coworkers might be joining, but I'm not counting them on the list until I see posts in this thread! I will post the final member list at 7:30 PM EST tomorrow evening. Anyone not on the list who wants to join should reply before then, or if you're going to back out for some reason, also please let me know by then! I'll be splitting the list into teams and starting to set up the new world at that time. The server whitelist will also be reduced temporarily to only the people who signed up for the tournament. I've already previewed a bunch of test seeds to find a few where the biomes aren't too unfairly distributed. So, there won't be any time wasted doing that. Does everyone think they can get online around 8:30-8:45 PM EST tomorrow? I'd like to have the new world online around 8:45 and punch the magic commands to start the game right at 9:00.

Sounds good here, though 8:30 to give time to split off and allow for some troubleshooting for TS may not be a bad thing.

Also, if anyone's interested, here's the list of commands I'll be executing to get the game going:

/weather clear 300
What does the 300 mean for this one? 300 ticks before random weather kicks in? |

Close! That just ensures that the weather stays clear (no rain) for at least 300 seconds or 5 minutes.
Also, are you in? I haven't seen any committal reply in this thread from Mister Grey… The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Boo, Grey, boo.
Some questions... TIME/PLACE So we meet up around 8:30pm? Just log into the regular server, as usual? AFTER DEATH BEHAVIOR If/when we are killed we are allowed to continue listening in on our team? That would be really kind for people who get knocked out of action, since this will be pretty exciting and not every team will be equipped to capture video/audio. POST-GAME DISCUSSION/PARTY After the game it would be fun to meet back in the main meeting room and have a discussion. It might be so noisy and confusing that we need a moderator to run the discussion... you know, "Team X, how did you sneak up on TEAM Z?" and that sort of stuff. T-SHIRTS This is where it gets tricky. ... |

ONE MORE QUESTION!!!
Brad, Could there be some sort of hovering "viewing stand" area in the dead center of the playing field? A place where the dead arrive when they respawn, so that they can observe the final battle from above? Valhalla? ... |

In fact, as soon as someone dies they should be REQUIRED to post here with all the gory details so those of us that can't make it tonight can play vicariously through our phones. |

1. Start the Minecraft launcher. 2. In the lower left, click New Profile. 3. Name the profile something obvious like "Snapshot". 4. In Version Selection, check the box for "Enable experimental development versions (snapshots)" 5. In Version Selection, select "Use Latest Version" from the use version menu. 6. Save Profile! 7. Verify that your new profile is selected from the Profile menu in the lower left. The welcome message in the lower right corner of the screen should change to say "Ready to play Minecraft 14w21b" 8. Play! Be careful about playing any saved single-player worlds. If you play with a snapshot and then go back to an older version, you could break your world. Caveat emptor!

Also, Brad, don't forget to post the team rosters here before live play begins. I'm insanely curious who'll get put together.
Damn. I'm bummed I won't be there for the inaugural match, but I suspect it will turn into an ongoing thing. C'est la vie. So it goes. |

Here are the official teams! I reran my script just a couple of times to make sure that whammer and grendagle weren't on the same team. The rest I left to the fates!
scoreboard teams join TeamPurple gerlocian scoreboard teams join TeamPurple Dellphi scoreboard teams join TeamPurple SpecMode scoreboard teams join TeamCyan RowdyScot scoreboard teams join TeamCyan BradSmith scoreboard teams join TeamCyan drewprops scoreboard teams join TeamYellow WhammerSlammer scoreboard teams join TeamYellow InvaderJak scoreboard teams join TeamYellow WesWilson scoreboard teams join TeamRed Elysium25 scoreboard teams join TeamRed grendagle7 scoreboard teams join TeamRed turtle2472 The official team selector python script I just hacked together in a minute: Code:
import random
players = [
'BradSmith',
'Dellphi',
'drewprops',
'Elysium25',
'gerlocian',
'grendagle7',
'InvaderJak',
'RowdyScot',
'SpecMode',
'turtle2472',
'WhammerSlammer',
'WesWilson',
]
# shuffle thrice for good measure!
random.shuffle(players)
random.shuffle(players)
random.shuffle(players)
# draw the teams in order!
teams = {
'cyan': players[:3],
'red': players[3:6],
'yellow': players[6:9],
'purple': players[9:],
}
for name, players in teams.iteritems():
for player in players:
print "scoreboard teams join Team%s %s" % (name.capitalize(), player) The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

I got some crappy news guys. My allergies are kicking the shit out of me tonight. I'm not sure I can see clear enough to be useful.

I'm running a few test on the game server now. The whitelist is currently blocking everyone until I'm ready...
Also, I got a PM from ThunderPoit/IJak that he's going to have to back out. In that case, I'm redoing the teams. Will post updated teams shortly.

OK, updated roster! I pulled WS and grendagle into their own two-player team since they're most likely to drop out early (by their own admission), and I merged the teams they were on.
