I'm sure most of you are aware of the 404 Challenge and using "404" as a seed for when generating a map. I propose a server wide challenge where a limited number of us see who can survive the longest while attempting to do this challenge.
I'm thinking about getting about twenty or so of us, plus one camera man (who will be invincible of course) to capture the event. We can either attempt to do some sort of Livestream of this or just record for others to view later. To participate you must be on vent.
I will participate and I will not have any Op powers, nor will any other Mods who join up for this event so we can guarantee there won't be any cheating. This is an Iron Man challenge so we will play as long as it takes to the end. If you die, you're done and are not allowed to respawn. There won't be PVP, but you can still set traps for other players. The player (or last non-mod player) to survive will get a fantastic prize!
The idea is for you and only you to survive. Employ all means of trickery to subdue other players.
The date I'm setting for this is April 2nd, after the Fireside.
Here are the rules:
1. You have until night fall to gather supplies. Spend your time wisely! Once night hits you MUST venture into the hole, never to return to the surface again!
2. You can gather any resource you find top side, but venturing into any other caves (for iron mostly) is not allowed. Sunlit caves are allowed.
3. You must not break ground on the 404 gravel until you are ready to enter the cave. You are intended to be finding shelter for the first night, digging the gravel, and discovering the cave. Once you break ground on the gravel, you must enter the cave.
4. Once you enter the cave, you must descend all the way to the bottom! The waterfall has swept you into the deepest parts of the cave.
5. No torches! If you whine about why you can't use torches, just STFU. Real men use lava for light anyway! (Redstone torches, jack-o-lanterns, and flint n' steel are OK!)
6. Survive and thrive. Don't simply build a wall around yourself. Explore. Build. Progress!
7. Only mine ores that are is visible. If you see an ore, you can mine it and the blocks around it to see if you got all of it. No branch/strip mining allowed. You are spelunking/surviving here, not at your 9 to 5 mining job.
8. 1 life. If you die the challenge is over for you.
9. No inventory edits or 'cheating' of any kind. Using F3 to see mob locations is considered cheating as well.
