darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 YAMS Castaway returns... What is YAMS Castaway?Basically it’s a survival world where you and others are castaways (a person who has been shipwrecked and stranded in an isolated place) and must start from scratch. Is YAMS Castaway dangerous?It's a pure survival world, so creepers and such are on... so yes it could be dangerous if you are not careful. Will I have to work as a team?Absolutely yes, you shouldn't just disappear into the wildness never to be seen again, I would like to see a thriving community built from scratch! Work together to build a town/community, don't just build your own thing on your own somewhere where you don't take part. How do we access it?Head on down to the bottom of spawn tower, you’ll find two portals.Wait two portals?Yes, you can also visit Castaway 2013, it’s a view only world but I really suggest you take a look to see how we worked together before you head to the main world of castaway 2014. Will I lose my inventory?Yes in castaway 2014 you will lose your inventory, at least what ever you have on you so best to leave everything at home. You won’t lose your inventory in castaway 2013 and can /home or /spawn etc to return. Can I set my home inside castaway? Thats a no in both worlds, in addition in castaway 2014 to get out of the world you will have to kill yourself. This is to keep inventories separate. How long do we have?2 weeks, its usually only a week or so but I'm feeling generous! Can I start now? Yes go and visit the two worlds and start discussing with your fellow castaways what to do, there's no building rules as such!No building rules at all? Correct, it's up to you and your fellow castaways to decide how your buildings look and how much space you use, you and the rest of the team have an entire world. Make your own judgements. Just remember to keep yourselves under control, in past times we have had to enforce rules because people got carried away, don't make me do that. Anything else I should know? I wont tolerate griefing/stealing (except the enderman and creepers) and such as we still are a family friendly server. Please don’t misbehave and ruin for everyone else by making me add extra rules. Good luck have fun and don't let me down! Work together to create a wonderful community within a community! Any questions, ask below! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

changingtuna88 168 Report post Posted July 20, 2014 I remember last year's castaway, which was really the first one I remember clearly, the rest of them kind of blurred together for me :/ As I'm on vacation now, And do not have a computer, I will be missing the first half of the event, but should be able to make second half Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted July 22, 2014 Spent a fair amount of time this morning and yesterday improving on way up to the top of the mountain and also started on a place at the top for us. Thanks goes to Ryan for gathering tools and starting a notice board and such. EDIT: Done loads more, added trees around mountain and started on roof, we also now have 3 paths up to the mountain (wooden stairs up, cobble stairs up then jump through window, cobble stairs half way up then jump onto ladder).

Nikki Nutta Palmer 185 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 I was on for a short while last night, and have started to adapt a small island just off shore, and hope to build a lighthouse/watch tower for us to help guide us back home should we venture out to sea.

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted July 27, 2014 Come on everybody it's been 9 days now since this world was started and we really don't have much to look at... As far as I can tell only the following people have taken part: Me - The home on the hill and the stairs/trees etc on the way up. Ryan - Started a starter area with chest/farm etc. Also laid some planks in home. Nikki - Started on the lighthouse tower and some other bits. Ohhh also just found a place Luke (aoelos_) been making but its quite far out. Luke please help out on stuff close by too, there's a whole house on the mountain that's needs finishing and lots of other stuff. From opening post:Will I have to work as a team?Absolutely yes, you shouldn't just disappear into the wildness never to be seen again, I would like to see a thriving community built from scratch! Work together to build a town/community, don't just build your own thing on your own somewhere where you don't take part. So yeah come on everyone lets get this done and get more people involved.

aoelos_ 78 Report post Posted July 27, 2014 Every time I've been on no ones been there - apart from ryan one time! So I thought I'd start something - I'm actually away for two weeks again now though - but if by some miracle castaway is still open in two weeks I'll be able to help with the house! See you guys in two weeks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted August 7, 2014 Place is starting to look much better, we need to get houses all linked up with pathways though and have more things in between as the houses are quite far apart. Shame about the snow though, bad Mojang for making it snow on top of mountains! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
