​Time and Place

4:00 PST, 7:00 EST on Thursday, November 1st to celebrate Halloween. It will last for one hour. There will be a Halloween decorated portal at spawn that will bring you to the event area.

Rules

  • No stealing
  • No griefing
  • No perks
  • No building outside of your borders
  • All VC rules apply
  • Have fun!

Prize

There will only be one winner! This winner will get 30,000 shillings.

What to Build

As this will be a more complicated build than previous buildoffs, I am going to tell you what you will be building, but please do not cheat by finding a picture you can copy off of. You will be building a Haunted House, so get planning!

How to Join

Post in the thread linked to this blog post letting us know that you will be there. You will be able to start putting items in your chests on Wednesday so you will be ready to build on Thursday.

I have awesome shoulders.

Thanks for arranging this event. I'll promote it on Facebook and Twitter.

I would like to participate, just not sure if I'll be there. Work has been unpredictable - we just lost a good portion of our staff due to some misconduct.

I totally read your post backwards. I think there's a disorder for that- too impatient to start from the beginning. I saw "we just lost a good portion of our staff due to some misconduct" and thought VC staff and had a mini panic attack. Oh the joys of the human brain.

is it possible to have a team for this event?

Definitely thought the same thing at first.   I started to sweat lol.  I think we just zoomed into the dash.  Anyways,  I should be there for this event.  Don't know if I'd be a participant though.

Double post, but I'd also like to know if everyone thinking of joining has a way to get back to 1.3, or if half of the people will be stuck on 1.4.

Since there have been only four people (three of which are maybes) that have joined so far, I'm going to postpone it to Friday at 3:00 PM PST. Hopefully more people can play Friday.

3:00 PST (-8) on Friday, but you will need to convert that to your timezone.

About the downgrading thing, I am not too sure. Someone could possibly email you a 1.3 .jar or something, however I am not able to since I have the Mac version (I'm assuming you are on windows).

I'm wondering, if it's so hard to get people to commit right now, if it might be better to wait until VC updates to 1.4?  I mean, we already missed Halloween, and with 1.4 there are several Halloween-flavored perks, like skulls and heads, and the potted plants and framed items would be better for houses.

I don't know, that's just my 2 shillings. :)

That may end up having to happen. The timing of this update was terrible. >.< As long as we aren't looking at TOO long of time to be able to pull off the update, I think this may end up being the way to go.
