[LVS] Hide and Seek Championship - Auroluto

[Dax23333]

Hello All!

Bit of an ad-hoc event once again, we're going to do an epic match of Hide and Seek at Auroluto (which is my base) for the purposes of fun and entertainment. Time is 8:30 BST on Wednesday the 22nd of April (that is this Wednesday). We shall meet in the top of the spawn Nether Hub and go from there to Auroluto! Any of you Zz people want to join you're very welcome, I have much food and such things just got to get yourself there.

One player will be selected at random to be the first seeker. All other players will be given ONE 3 minute invisibility potion to use to provide stealth while hiding. All will drink thier potions at the same time and then run off and hide somewhere in Auroluto. After 3 minutes pass and the invisibility wears off the Seeker will attempt to locate players. If a player is found they join the Seeker in finding the others. Last one found wins.

(The invis potion is so that you can hide more easily from fellow hiders while everyone is running around at the start, as they'll probably be looking for you later)

The Rules of Hiding:
Rule 1: You have 3 minutes to locate a suitable spot in which to conceal yourself.
Rule 2: You must hide within Auroluto - this is defined as anywhere within beacon range. If you are having beacon effects refreshed your hiding spot is ok.
Rule 3: You must not use any of the following items - Ender Pearls, Chorus Fruit, Potions, Pickaxes (don't break my stuff), blocks (or place stuff).
Rule 4: Once you have hidden yourself you must not run away. This is a hiding game, not a running away game!
Rule 5: If you are found, you become a Seeker!

The Rules of Seeking:
Rule 1: The First Seeker is selected at random from those present.
Rule 2: The Seeker gives 3 minutes for all the hiders to disperse and become hidden.
Rule 3: Seekers should announce when they find somebody.

Advice for The Game:
The surface of Auroluto is not well lit and is regularly infested with monsters. Be careful your hiding place is safe.
Enchanted armor has a strong glow especially at night - going without is more stealthy.
Hold sneak (shift) to hide your nametag otherwise the Seeker will be able to see you through walls.

Prizes?!
Prizes will be awarded! Contents of prizes is TBC but will be super fancy.

Also, I am opening my base for this so please be careful. Don't break anything, don't push buttons if you don't know what they do and don't fiddle with redstone.

WOOOOOOOOOOO HIDE AND SEEK BOIS LETS DO THIS LAST O[/color]NE FOUND GETS ALL MY ADORATION [color=#FF8000]WOOOOOOOO

[Mellorian]

Since posting my previous comment, I have been informed that hide and seek requires one to be very quiet - silent, almost - in order to evade the prying eyes and ears of those who are deemed to be seeking. As such, I revise my prior statement thus:

WOOOOOOOOOOO HIDE AND SEEK BOIS LETS DO THIS LAST ONE FOUND GETS ALL MY ADORATION WOOOOOOOO

9 hours and 30 minutes remaining!

I am told that there is now a toggle sneak function available in the accessability settings which lets us sneak while typing in chat! We will try this before the start, as it'll make it all a lot more fun if we can talk to each other.

Thanks to all that came along to play, had 14 people turn up for this! As promised, there were prizes.

Best Hiding Place went to SneakySkeleton as he was not found. I actually stepped on his head looking for him and did not notice. I swear he has some kind of cloaking field around him. Sneaky won the grand prize, which was the Vehicle of Christopher Patrick Cobble - a young cobble wanting to see the world. Make sure he gets around Sneaky!

iij2000x gained the questionable honor of being killed by a zombie mere minutes into the start of the game. He was therefore well deserving of Most Dangerous Hiding Place and won the Suspicious Stew Collcetion which should match his evidently risky nature. Some of them won't make you go blind, maybe. iij2000x was allowed to re-hide in a safer location and managed a respectable performance.

Most Players Found went to Forseth, who also happened to be the first Seeker. He won a 16 Furnace Autosmelter 3D Jigsaw and I wish him good luck in assembling it. (Psssst - you may well have seen two finished ones in your Seeking)

The most creative hiding spot (and 2nd to last found) goes to a man who wore brown and layed down on some dirt in a patch of seagrass in the watery corridor. He also cunningly disguised himself as Memery with the hope that he would be misidentified, possibly. That man was Zedwick, and despite having no use for them whatsoever, won a box of spash invisibility potions. May he treasure them forever.

There were also 3 Stoneface hidden around Auroluto for the Seekers to find, containing prizes!
Stoneface Rumble was found by Mellorian who was awarded the Products of Legitimate Business for his efforts.
Stoneface Cobble was also found by Mellorian (was he the only one looking for these?) and was awarded a box of Crispy Cobble +2DB..
Stoneface Dwayne was found my Memery (technically during the prize giving) who won 26 individually named poisonous potatoes. Don't eat them all at once, or at all even. This prize took far too much effort to make. I had to burn so many anvils.

The rankings, with Forseth seeking:
1st - SneakySkeleton
2nd - Zedwick
3rd - Mellorian
4th - DarthDuck
5th - MasterBoy
6th - iij200x
7th - Spectatre
8th - MendedDuck
9th - BengalBoi
10th - EarthCow
11th - Dax23333
12th - Haztec
13th - Memery

Congrats to Sneaky and his awesome getup!
Was a really fun time and some great spots all round.
(Zed's Mem's spot in the seagrass was truly inspiring.)
