Minecrafters at Nerdtacular

For those of you that don’t know, Nerdtacular is a gathering of the Frogpants community here in Utah. People have come from all over the world to gather and meet people from the community. Today there will be panels, podcasts, entertainment etc. You can learn more of it at http://nerdtacular.com . Yesterday quite a few people got together to hang out before the event. I wanted to meet some of our Minecraft community so TobyTobey and I went up to the hotel where a lot of people are staying and we hung out. We meet up with Christian. Who came all the way from Sweden with his GF and Brothers. We also met Sandi and her husband Gotrek. And of course we ran into most of the Frogpants podcasters. Here are a few pictures from last night. I hope to have more later. In the Pictures below we have TobyTobey and myself, Sandi and GoTrek And then Cris and his crew.

Sky Race Saturday!

There will be a Sky Race Event on Saturday, March 24th @ 2pm Server Time.

We will be taking advantage of the new height limit. If you fall you will have more time to contemplate things before the inevitable death. Prizes have not yet been finalized, if there is a certain prize you would like to see please suggest it in the comments of this post.

Rules for Sky Race are:

  • Melon Slices = points
  • The person with the most points wins 1st Place
  • The person with the second most points wins 2nd Place
  • There is only a 3rd place if attendance is high
  • Come with empty inventory (Your Inventory will be cleared!)
  • Tools will be provided
  • Spleefing others is an acceptable tactic
  • If you die and drop your stuff, others can take it
  • DO NOT destroy the starting area (if you do you will not be allowed to play)
  • You acknowledge that you have read and understand these rules

Helpful Tips:

  • When/if you die, type /warp skyrace to get back
  • When/if you die there are chests available that contain dirt for building
  • If you find a fern you may turn it in for an alternate prize
