Announcing the Reddit Minecraft Thanksgiving Marathon!
On Friday, November 26th at 7AM EST to Saturday, November 27th at 7AM EST, there will be a build contest on the reddit public Minecraft server (r/Minecraft & in the sidebar, address is c.nerd.nu).
A few people I know in real life will also be Livestreaming a full 24 hour marathon on our behalves, and you can finally see me build something in Minecraft!
There will also be constant entertainment provided on the Livestream, as well as a Mumble chat and text chat that will be played through it, encouraging community participation.
The marathon will benefit Child's Play Charity, and we encourage you guys to show your thankfulness and the generosity of the r/Minecraft community by donating to them. We'll have a goal of $1k to start, and I think we can meet that in 24 hours.
All donations will be tracked through a script I wrote, and live totals along with a top ten donors and top ten recent list will be displayed both on the livestream and a URL which I will post on marathon day.
All Reddit Public traffic during that time will be sent to the new server for those 24 hours.
I want to participate, but I'm going to forget.
Worry not, we have an e-mail and Reddit PM notification system in place. Simply type in your e-mail or reddit username here ( http://redditpub.appspot.com/), and you will get e-mail / reddit PM notifications before and possibly once during the marathon.
How can I help if I'm really good at building, or if I suck at building?
We're looking for dedicated master builders, who will plan out and guide the completion of large projects by directing the efforts of the community. Reply here with ideas if you're interested.
We also need dedicated moderation staff to seek out and ban griefers and trolls. If you'd like this job, and have at least 20 hours played on Reddit Public OR 100+ comment karma and contributions to r/Minecraft, reply to the appropriate comment below.
What do I get for participating?
A good feeling! If you play more than 11 / 24 hours OR donate over $5, you'll get magic carpet and compass privileges on the Reddit Public SMP Creative server, and a subdued (subtle) turkey icon next to your name on r/Minecraft.
We hope to see you there, and we think it'll be the r/Minecraft event of the year. Until then, keep building :smile.gif:
