Hey everyone!
I was thinking it would be nice to have a community event that we could all play together. My brother and I host UHCs every now and then, so we'd be happy to set up a match for anyone interested in playing!
I recognise that there may well be some difficulties with this, like people having different hours free, or not getting enough interest, etc. So I just wanted to test the waters. Also our server is in the UK, so there may be some lag for players in the US, but we've had plenty of Americans on before and even a couple of Australians who said it was fine =]
But the main question is, who would be interested in playing? We could do solo or teams, it could be recorded or just for fun... what do you think?

I would definitely play! Solo, teams, whatever. It would be fun.

I would definitely be interested! I'm pretty terrible at pvp, but I would love to give UHC a try.

Edd, I am excited to do a UHC, so don't let this idea slow that one down:
I was also thinking about a server style Base Race special event. Imagine if we all had to complete a race on the same server (PvP allowed after the first day perhaps?). I know some teams tried this last month, but it would be fun to do a live match with a larger group. We would need to plan a slightly less ambitious list than a monthly Base Race soit could be done by almost everyone in an hour or so.
Thoughts?

John, this is actually something I've been thinking about. I think it would be a fun thing to do if we get enough people interested in it. I've also wondered about having the Mumble Link plugin for it too (where you can hear other players talking/commentating if they're in close proximity), though I'm not sure how possible that is with 1.8.
It would have to be an event that happened alongside the main monthly Base Race (rather than in place of), so assuming people would be recording this, that would be an extra set of videos to get up in the month. So that's something to consider. And of course we'd have to find a good time that suited everyone who wanted to play!
Anyway, I do like this idea and I think we should make a separate thread for it so we can keep this one to the UHC discussion/planning =]

July UHC - 2 Big Teams
Hello Base Racers! =D
As you've probably heard now in the announcement video, the extra challenge this month is to take part in a UHC! You're allowed to invite a friend and if we get the numbers then we'll have 2 big teams facing off against each other. The match shall be hosted on The MobCave server (based in England) in 1.7.4-1.7.10.
Let's get this planned out ASAP! Who is interested in taking part? What day/time works best for you? Do you think you'll be inviting someone?
I'm thinking that the match will take place on a middle weekend of the month (probably 17th-19th), but this can be changed depending on when everyone is free.
GLHF

I would definitely love to play! Hours usually aren't too much of an issue for me, as I can usually work around most of them, but a weekend would definitely be the best time for me. |

I'm definitely interested! Weekends work best for me. Pretty much any time on a Saturday or Sunday. I doubt I'll be bringing a friend.

UHC TIME!
Sorry, I've been busy lately and haven't had the time to organise this. But I'd still like this to go ahead, even if we end up playing it at the beginning of next month!
It looks like weekends are best, so if people see this and can join at short notice (unlikely) then we could aim for this Sunday, OR we could try for next Saturday. When I've hosted before, late in the evening for me generally works out better for people in America, so we could try for 10pm BST (Which is 5pm EDT, and here is a time calculator to help you work out the time for where you are: www.worldtimebuddy.com/).
I need feedback ASAP to set this up! So let me know if either of these times suit you or could be made better or anything, and hopefully we'll be sorted soon =D

Sunday at 5pm EDT will work for me and so will the following Saturday. I can also start a couple of hours earlier that 5pm EDT, as well, which would most likely work out a bit better since the current time would be running into dinner time.  2pm or 3pm EDT would work the best, depending if others, like Techna, could make it, as she's, I think one hour earlier than me. |

I have plans to record the August MHC with my friends this weekend, most likely on Sunday evening, so next weekend would probably work better for me. I'm pretty flexible on time though, so whatever works best for others is fine with me.
