Minecraft con is being discussed! Does anyone want to be involved? Write below!
It will likely be in either July or August in Downtown park, Bellevue, WA (10201 NE 4th Street, Bellevue, WA)
Last year in August Notch came and visited Valve in Bellevue, Washington and met with people at a park!
He won't be here this year but we can get together again and have fun! We can have games and other things! Picnic food and such should be brought too!
We might have a contest too for the most creative outfits and such! :biggrin.gif:
Bring laptops to play minecraft!~ There are many internet Cafes nearby! We need more ideas and NEED PEOPLE TO GET INVOLVED! So if you want to be involved let me know! Discuss things on this topic and let us do something again like last year! It was awesome seeing notch but last year it was awesome seeing people dressed with fan outfits, and we had games and a lot of fun last year!
We can get together into a Wi-fi zone, and play SMP in a server in which we are all in. I'd do that, even though I live in South America
Yeah it was real cool though how we got everyone together last time and I know many still want to do this again this year! It would be cool if we got a group to do that while we are having the con! Cosplay was pretty sick last year though and I know many of these people have better ideas on what they want to do.
I just had Kawaii Kon, which was a blast, now what's Minecraft Con like?
I just went to sakura con Which was amazing :"D
Minecraft con isn't that amazing xD This would only be a second year (and Kinda like a test I guess?). Last year in August Markus (Notch) was in Bellevue and wanted to host a coffee shop meetup and over 100 people came to the park where we met him xD And we decided to do this every year (meeting up) in the summer. Right now we are trying to get activities and such and get people involved. THIS won't have notch there this year but it would be cool if we could get him to come again in the future :biggrin.gif: But last year people were sooo... Creative? It was a lot of fun :biggrin.gif:
Put MC textures on a ton of cardboard boxes in a gymnasium or something - Let human nature take over - Take pictures - profit.
Haha last year we had a discussion to rebuild the park doing this.
Raiding cardboard boxes from local restaurants and such xD
You know, this could actually work. You can get literally hundreds of free cardboard boxes from local shops. When my family moved, we got most of our boxes from the local liquor store o_o. It's actually a great source of boxes because the boxes are cubes or near-cubes, while Costco boxes are flatter and don't have lids. Compare: http://www.swankpad.org/blather//uploads/2007/04/img_1697.jpg vs http://www.thedigeratilife.com/images/costco-store-2.jpg. Once you've got the boxes, all you have to do is either have to spray-paint them or print out textures and glue it on. If each person can bring 5 or 10 boxes we could get some serious building going on.
But then the question is, what do you do with the boxes? My first thought was spleef, but that could be problematic with carboard boxes and the harsh fall damage of real-life. My second though was box fort capture-the-flag! Divide everyone into two teams, build two box forts, and hide a flag in each of them. Then, play it like regular capture the flag, but with a few special rules:
[*:3bikhdn3]You can steal/move/build blocks from the other team's fort, but you can only carry 1 block at a time. Also, no throwing blocks.
[*:3bikhdn3]Anyone dressed as a creeper (or wearing green?) is a creeper. Creepers can't take the flag or move blocks, since they have no arms. Creepers can run into enemy territory and then explode (jump and fall over), and anyone within 5 or 6 feet has to fly back as if hit by an explosion. They have to lie there for 10 seconds before getting back up. The exploded creeper goes to jail as if they were tagged.
[*:3bikhdn3]Cake blocks! If you bring the cake into the enemy jail, you get to rescue everyone instead of 1 person. But, cake blocks can also be stolen and moved the same way as normal blocks.
Other things to do with the blocks: free build, building contest
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Send me a pm if you've got a mature, friendly, and collaborative creative build server!
hey umm..... how much do you all think that a flight from Serbia to the location would cost??? In Euros please?
BTW I totally absolutely LOVE Minecraft!!!!!!!!
Perhaps there could be workshops for people wanting to plan large projects and talk about tips and tools used for such
Sadly I won't be able to do that yet... Next year? I hope to do classes and such next year... That would be amazing. They also have degrees in this area too.

This sounds amazing.
I hope to see everyone here! Or everyone that can at least make it! If you want to host something where you are just let me know!~
I have a friend who is 13 and his friend who is 12 and they both would absolutely do this so what age groups would like you would sort of allow or, would there be almost no limit?

P.s. I would suggest July
There is nothing on it right now, I just bought it. So MC Con could have a temporary website if needed.
Oh, and yes I do have hosting.
PM me is interested.
