Hello everyone!

Now, I don't complain much, but...

As of late, I've noticed more and more minecarts are being left on the tracks. Now, minecarts are laggy at best, so it's really annoying when you see an empty one on the track ahead. You collide with it, and start going backwards. Now I know this won't affect mods or Darren as much, but for members and CSOs, this is your only mode of travel, aside from warps . All I'm asking is that once you get to your destination, please pick your minecart back up, don't leave it in the station. Even if you're at the maze and you have to push it a little to be able to destroy it. It makes travelling by minecart much less of a hassle.

Thanks for reading,
Nick.

If I've put this in the wrong place, feel free to move it somewhere.

i've read the first book and found it awseome and i think a minecraft version would be awesome. i would deffinatly join in.

Well, it's pretty straight forward.  Recently I read the Hunger Games and I'm pretty sure a few of you have too, but the point is I realized that a hunger games arena could be built in minecraft. And given the right plugins, it could be put to use.  Now I'm not the only one who's thought of this, if you run a quick Google search on "Hunger Games minecraft" there are people making dedicated servers to this.  But none of them are complete yet.  I'm suggesting that in the mean time, we could build one at least for the time it takes for the others to complete one and upload the map data, or maybe even complete it and be able to use it.  I'm just putting this out there and won't start on any building until I have permission for it, land and a good amount of volunteers.

Details that I suggest:

The arena will be fairly circular with a max radius of 250 blocks.

Plugins will be needed for: thirst, need for sleep, poison, vanish, clan/party chat, and possibly character traits (strength stuff like that), maybe like mcmmo

Traps such as tnt, pit fall, and maybe even fire will be placed all over to bring tributes together.

The vanish plugin will be used for the game makers to observe and sprig traps on players during slow parts.

We will want to make these games go for a max of maybe 6 hours hence the arena size.

Any volunteers can become game makers in order to film the highlights of the game.

Anyone participating should definitely read the series.

So would anyone be interested in it?

P.S. if you don't know what the hunger games are, in the book 24 kids from ages 12-18 (a boy and a girl from each of the 12 districts i.e states/provinces) are picked to fight to the death in an arena specifically built with traps and its own environment.  The winner is the last one standing.

lol i love that book. i love the idea, too

I have recently noticed that when you sneak behind a solid object (trees, stone, dirt, even another player), your name appears invisible.

So why not use this technique to host a hide-and-seek event?  

An example of some rules:
1. The seeker will wait on top of Spawn tower, away from having any chance of cheating.
2. The hiders begin at the center of Spawn Town, and can go anywhere within decent range of Spawn Town (don't be trying to hide all the way in Splinterz or something like that. That would just be cruel.)
3. There is exactly 1 and a half minutes to run from the starting point to hide.
4. Once you have found the spot, you *have* to stay where you are.
5. Make sure you keep the sneak key pressed if you're a hider. Otherwise, your username will show above your head, and would not only defeat the purpose of hide-and-seek, but it's also a sure-fire way of getting found quickly.

I'm sure there are other rules that could be implemented. And it certainly doesn't have to be in just Spawn Town! It would be something fun and different to do when we're not pig-jousting or boat-racing.
