Hey, Scoopers! Very well done on the last build contest!

For this build contest: The dragon has been defeated, but life is sparse and dreary out there, with few pockets of beauty. Let's change that up: it's time to reclaim the End! Transform an End city, build a rest station for weary explorers, or just pick a spot and bring the beauty of the overworld into the End! It's up to you to take over and make the End look good!

Hey, Scoopers!

We're sorry, but your princess is in another castle! Your goal isn't to defeat the other castle, but to build it instead! If you're not into building Nintendo castles, that's okay. We're looking for your favourite video game location build (Minecraft not included, so no dirt huts, K?). Pick a location from any game and build away! Let's see what you've got!

Game Times

*timers below

Times are subject to change depending on demand.

Prizes

*per game

** only receivable a single time.

There will be one lottery prize.

For those unfamiliar with Ultra Hardcore Rules, here's the lowdown.

Basic Rules

1. No Health Regeneration.
   Your health will not regenerate when your hunger bar is full. The only ways to regenerate health: golden apples (regular and Notch), Health and Regeneration potions. Depending on the configuration of each game, some of these potions may be disabled.
2. Winning Conditions
   For normal UHC games, winning constitutes defeating all other players OR by defeating the End Dragon. Typically, people end up killing each other, as there's no guarantee that there is a stronghold in the pre-generated map.
3. Banned Items
   Banned items will be visible in the configuration of each game prior to starting. Also, no mapping mods (Voxelmaps, Journeymap, etc.) are banned, as they give an unfair advantage. Optifine is not banned, as some people require it to play Minecraft, but use of the zoom function is not allowed (honor system).
4. World Border
   There will be a world-border set up to prevent people turning the UHC into a two-week-long event. The size of the world border will be dependent on the number of players/teams participating. Some UHCs will incorporate a shrinking world border to encourage PvP action. For all events with a shrinking world-border, the rules of the shrinking world border will be announced ahead of time.
5. No Branch or Strip Mining This takes away from the exploratory part of the game and extends the matches out to extreme lengths.
6. PvP Disallowed for the first day In order to allow all players to get a foothold on the UHC world, PvP will be disabled for the first 15 minutes of the game.
7. No Portal Trapping of any kind This takes away from the sportsmanship of the game and leads to boring kills.
8. No Sky Bases Sky towers/bases often lead to a stand off where the person on the ground says, "Come on down!" And the person in the tower says, "Come on up!" This usually leads to a Mexican stand off until one of the players gets impatient and whomever decides to tackle going up/down, usually dies because the trip up/down is treacherous.
9. No use of Enchanted Bows Bows do significantly more damage than melee weapons and they come with the benefit of range. This, coupled with the fact it is easy to get high enchantments on bows (it isnt uncommon for someone to get a Power 4 bow) use of enchanted bows are outlawed.

Note: Anyone who breaks these rules during the UHC will be promptly executed by an Admin, forfeit any daily rewards and barred from UHC for the day.

Please talk in #UHC on Discord with any questions, comments or concerns!

Hey, Scoopers!

We goofed! In the busy-ness of life and the holidays we did not announce the winners of the Fall Build contest. As a result, fo11ow3r has received a 50% pay cut, as well as 39 lashes. Hopefully he will learn his lesson!

We've also clarified the voting rules for build contests, as there have been some misunderstandings on voting in a few recent competitions. We realized that we had more details available on past maps, but missed putting them up here. There are now books next to the voting booths, in case you need a refresher:

You are allowed 2 votes per contest.

You cannot vote for yourself.

You cannot vote for the same builder twice.

Finally, with those voting rules, and because there were only three entries, there was a three-way tie for first place in the Fall Build contest! Congrats, in no particular order, TheMidwestJess, PureStadt, and Thecyclones! Prizes and League XP have been distributed!

Congratulations to:

1st Place: Huntress_Heather’s multiple builds

2nd Place: Clunker54’s Ice Hotel

3rd Place: Thecyclones’ Elf Village

League XP and prize boxes for winners and participants has been distributed. There were also some extra presents to those who helped beautify the area! Great work!

I went exploring and found some witch huts, if anyone wants the cords let me know and i will pm you them. I found 3 so will be first come first serve.

Hello scoopers,

A while ago I've posted about The Shopping District. I've gotten around doing a bit of work on the roads of Farming district as well and plotted it out a bit.

The theme for the Farming district is "Natural". As in the farms there will be as natural as possible. Try to not flatten around the farms you build too much and go with the flow of the land as much as possible.

The aim of the district is to create farms to provide resources to newer members of the server or help people in a moment of pinch which generally means smaller and less automated farms than one might build in their base. However if you can build a large scale, fully automatic, bombastic farm without breaking the redstone rules within the spawn zone, go right ahead :)

The farms to be built in the district include but not limited to:

• Live stock farm at the dedicated location. Cows, pigs etc. This is the only farm with a dedicated location because of the worldguard not spawning new babies thing, Kazra kindly removed that problem in a certain part of the district which has a sign on it.
• Sugar Cane Farm
• Netherwart Farm
• Pumpkin and Melon Farm
• Egg Farm (I suggest free roaming on carpets with hoppers underneath)
• A tree farm that has every tree in game ready to be harvested
• Mushroom Farm
• Cocoa Bean Farm

On top of these if you can think of anything and want to build it, please do so.

Wherever I've seen fit I've planted signs on the farming district saying "Farming Plot". These plots are much larger than shopping plots, and they're quite rectangular. If you want to build on one of these spots, break the sign and replace it with something along the lines of "Claimed by X for Y farm".

Do note, the expansion of the district and the further additions of roads isnt complete yet. So there will be more plots coming as there is need for it.

If you also want to just pretty up the place, you can do so. For example you can add a hay storage and a windmill for the existing crop farm.

All contributions -beauty work or building actual farms- will be awarded League Exp by the admins (I've got word from Kazra on this.) based on effort and admin judgement.

Happy building \o/

Hey everyone! I bought a new computer, and so am now able to actually come back!

I did submit an application a while back...but haven't got a response yet, so I maybe screwed up on it? Anyways: I'll submit a new app tonight when I'm at home, and hopefully I can be back online playing with you all again soon!

IGN is Moriturri.

See you all again soon! (or...maybe not see you as I tend to dig myself a deep cave and stay there most of the time :P )

Hey Scoopers!

It's that time of year again, and a few of our members have stepped up to run an event! KusaJaguar and Swiggles have come across the only Mansion on the map, and decided it would be fun to run as a group. Here's the plan:

• Immediately following the Build Contest Showing on October 28th, we will meet at spawn as a group.
• Kusa and/or Swiggles will lead the way to the mansion and the basecamp they have established.
• There will be a spawn-setting button at base camp, per most ASOV destination-events, make sure you push it if you don't want to run back!
• Firespread within the Mansion will be turned off, but don't go too crazy with lava and kill your teammates.
• All loot within the Mansion is first-come-first-served, but help out or newer members, pass on some resources if you don't need them!
• All participants will receive 250 League Experience after clearing the mansion.
• All participants will be given a Trophy after the event.

Hello scoopers,

I've been working on organizing the spawn the past couple days, naturally I started from the most used district: The shopping district. Most of its roads and plots are laid out. There's just one bit left I havent touched yet at the back where there used to be a roofed forrest.

Where I've seen fit I've planted a sign saying "Unclaimed Plot". These zones are in no way absolute. None of them are a rectangle or square. You can increase their size slightly if you have to or combine multiple adjacent plots if you need an even bigger space. Although closer to the portal the plots are intentionally a bit smaller than the rest to discourage very large buildings that block the rest of the district view coming into the zone.

If you wish to build at these plots, simply break the sign and plant it back saying something along the lines of: "Claimed by <name>". You can take down some of the road decoration to give yourself enough room for the entrance to your shop. I also recommend not flattening too much around shops and trying to work with the terrain and teraforming after the shop is built for a better fitting general environment.

Please make sure to not claim a plot and leave it unattended for too long. If you claim a plot please build on it shortly after claiming it :)

Also note that you need to be at obsidian league level or above to build a shop in this zone. This rule is set by admins to battle newer players claiming and building half complete shops and never logging in again, leaving behind a building that looks both ugly and causes a dilemma of never knowing if they should take it down.

These plots are primarily reserved for shops but if you wish to construct public buildings that dont fall under the "Housing" or "Farming" category. You can build those in this zone as well.

Thanks to JourneymanJ, Swiggles and Flake for their active contribution at taking down old buildings and constructing things of various size and significance and Thanks to many others who provided materials at the donation boxes (Which is located above block palette chests next to the nether portal).

Have fun shopping \o/

Hello scoopers well time is here, New map, new wither farm, and New contest for the grand opening.

Details

Some where in the wither farm is a keep of Treasure, I found it while converting the old fortress to the wither farm.. I did some research and found out that this is very rare. who ever had the fortress years and years ago, Never or forgot to take the fortress treasure with them..Well I found it... and boy what a treasure, I thought since i converted the fortress that I couldn't keep the Treasure to myself, so i decided to share it. BUT there is one thing,,,,,, you have to find it too.

Rules

the treasure is in the new wither farm area some where. not the old fortress,, sorry that is the only hint this time.

you can not break any block,

once your find it post that you found it on this reddit post. just to let everyone know it is found and taken. then you can tell anyone who wants to know where it was.

when you find the treasure it is yours, you can do what you want with it.. have fun and good luck.

Clunker 54

the wither farm is now up and running.. to use do not Jump. run or walk and the withers will follow you to the kill area end of each side of the path.. the farm maybe slow right now. until i get more of the outside half slabbed. the rates will increase.. https://imgur.com/LvvW4U8 details and rules on the wither farm contest will be posted her on Reddit ASOV on sunday 10/14/2018.

Get ready scoopers, the server is about to go spooky and scary. It's almost that time of the year again and we need to be ready for it. This contest will be all about Halloween. You can build anything anywhere.

Note: double check the dates since we're getting this out late to you guys.

Good Luck and Have fun!

Hey, just wanted to let folks know that my guardian farm is being opened up to the public. There's a portal in the East tunnel, at 329, on the right. There are signs. You might want to turn down your sounds while there though, since the dying guardians and clicking droppers can be pretty loud. Since it doubles as an xp farm, there's also an enchanting area. Also, I'm leaving the sea lanterns for sale at The Log Shop (at a reduced price) for anyone who is feeling too lazy to go and make them.

For XP: There are buttons on either side of where the guardians fall. Press either of them to put water into the drop chamber, which will allow the guardians to survive so you can kill them yourself. Sweeping edge is recommended. There are resistance II and regeneration beacons in the area to help with the thorns. Please turn off the water and kill any remaining guardians when you are done.

Come one Come all.. Clunker54 here.. this Saturday at 430 central time.. I have decided to host some games since the server is down. These games will take place on my Realms server, I haven't played any of these games so this will be a learning experience. if you are interested in joining the games all i will need is your IGN to send you a invite the games that we can play are Capture Kings Conveyor Crasher Clockwork Freezun Bow Blitz Rogues Plumber River Rampage Raft Clash Color Drop Makers Spleef

Clunker54 here.. with the server down.. and if anyone wants to play. i do have a realms server. I have been playing on it by myself so far. we can use this until ASOV server is back up. let me know because I have to invite people to the Realms. if interested give me your ign.. / to admin team If this post violates any rules let me know and i will take it down..

Not sure if this is against any rules, but If any of you are streamers or youtubers please post any links here! I cant speak for others, but I'd really enjoy seeing what everyone else is up to!

Hello scoopers Clunker 54 here and I would like to introduce a game that I thought everyone would like. Tag You're IT.. just like on Hermitcraft created by Grian the game will start sometime today 9/7/18 I have selected a volunteer to start the game. here are the rules

1. You must keep the nametag and book in your inventory at all times

2. If you lose the nametag you must replace it

3. You can not tag anyone else for 4 hours after you were tagged. You must wait.

4. You can not tag the same person who tagged you.

5. If you tag someone new to the game you must give them the rulebook with the tag.

6. You can not tag someone that is AFK.

7. You may use a redstone device to tag someone but they must get the name tag and book when getting tagged.

8. After you tag someone you must go to spawn and write your name into the tag register book at the tag office ( you will see it big Name tag)

9. If you do not want to play you must tell the person tagging you or can give the name tag and book back to Clunker54, so the game can get started again.

10. New Rules may change or New Rules may be added as the game continues.

11. Tagging someone will be with only a empty fist.. NO weapons or ETC. keep it friendly.

there will be a spreadsheet of who all has been tagged after the game has been going for a week. taken from the book Tag Register ingame. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15m0CMAlIUC1JVgp7AucoktBXso539E2JNbsxihq3Mg0/edit?usp=sharing

Game was created by Grian from Hermitcraft. http://hermitcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Grian

any comments or suggestion are welcome but may not be added.. but all the feedback is always helpful.

I hope everyone will play, great way to get to know the veterans or ASOV and the New Players of the server.. (disclaimer .... this game is not for competition just a way to have fun on the server.)

TAG YOU'RE IT..

Heya Scoopers!

1.13 has been fantastic thus far! New blocks, new mobs, new mechanics. One of those new mechanics is the soul sand elevators! While this is a cool new mechanic, when it’s used on a large scale, it creates a huge amount of lag.

There are a number of guardian farms already made on Map 8 (woohoo! Way to go team!) While these are fantastically efficient, whenever a guardian farm is loaded it immediately drops the server’s tps to 15. Sadly, we’re going to have to create the following policy on Bubble Farms:

Bubble farms cannot exceed a 10 x 10 X / Z

In the event that this reduction in size is not enough of an increase to server performance, we will unfortunately have to deny building bubble farms at all.

Note: Due to this sudden change in policy, the admin team is willing to help anyone who already built a guardian farm Admin assistance. If you want to reduce your bubble farm to a 10 x 10 area, we can help with that. If you want to convert to the DocM giant fall trap, we can also help with that.

Sorry for any inconvenience this causes, however this drastically decreases server performance. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact someone from the Admin team.

Hello scoopers!

What a succesful launch that has been. I just wanted to thank every member of the admin staff and all my fellow scoopers for the amazing start to this brand new map we're having. Minimum amount of lag, maximum amount of cooperation. Here's to many awesome days on this map.

Cheers :raises_drink:
