This is the official rules and information thread for Labyrinth Race 3! Because of scheduling conflicts and continuing construction work, the Labyrinth will open and the event will start at 5PM Eastern Standard Time on September 7th, 2013. Just show up at Labyrinth town at that time and you will be let in FOR FREE, no signup needed. Labyrinth has its own Spawn to Town Portal (on the towns6 level), or you can get a TP there. There is also a Town Warp (/warp labyrinth). When you walk through the correct portal you will arrive at a glass-enclosed outer area of Labyrinth town.Please stay within this outer area for now. The doors to the lobby will open at 4PM EDT if you want to show up early. THE LABYRINTH OPENS IN In the past there was Labyrinth Race 1 (225k grand prize) and Labyrinth Race 2 (300k grand prize). Because Labyrinth Race 3 will be more difficult than Labyrinth Race 2, I have GREATLY increased the value of the Prizes. The total value of all prizes is a massive 2 MILLION ECODOLLARS! There is no signup or cost to enter the race, it's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! Just show up! The Grand Prize Winner will get ALL of the following:One Efficiency VII, Silk Touch, Unbreaking III diamond pickaxe!One Efficiency V, Silk Touch, Unbreaking III diamond sword!500,000 EcoDollars!To win the Grand Prize, you need to find the Grand Prize room beyond the Coal Level exit AND have ALL 15 codes! There are three Code Prizes for the 1st person to find all the codes in a level:Diamond Level Codes (codes 1 to 5) = 250,000 EcoDollars!Redstone Level Codes (codes 6 to 10) = 250,000 EcoDollars!Coal Level Codes (codes 11 to 15) = 250,000 EcoDollars! Each level has 5 codes, found written on renamed pieces of gravel that are inside "Donation Chests" (where you can open and see the contents but can't remove anything). Get those codes! To win the Grand Prize, you also must find exit of the Coal Level. There is no fee to enter the event, it's absolutely free! (But I do appreciate donations, which will go towards increasing the Grand Prize) There will also be a chest hidden somewhere in the maze which has a voucher for a free custom minecraft skin done by XSlare! He does fantastic work! Here's his thread: http://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/xslares-skin-portfolio.57846/ CLUES: You need to read these if you want to have any chance of winning. The main challenge this is that there are 15 pieces of code, each made of a three letter word. They are found as the name of "Donation Chests" scattered throughout the maze. The upper Diamond Level has codes 1-5, the middle Redstone Level has codes 6-10, and the bottom Coal Level has codes 11-15. EDIT 9/7 Each code piece is found as the new "name" of a renamed chest. When you open the chest, the code will be in the upper left of the chest contents, as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/TS02S2b.png and the code also indicates where in the full password that code piece goes. Example of one of these names would be something like this: "9th part = BAD", "3rd part = JET", and so on. The code pieces must all be assembled in the correct order. When you have the entire code in the correct order you will be able to unlock the Lift that leads to the grand prize room, and unlock the grand prize chest. First person to do that wins The Grand Prize! You will probably also find locked chests. They cannot be opened and have NOTHING inside. The only chests that matter are the donation chests with the pieces of code. The contents of the chest will just be leaves and they don't matter at all, only the code matters. I would encourage you to work in teams, trading the code pieces with each other to increase your chance of assembling the full code. You may also buy and sell the codes. If you get scammed with an incorrect code, however, that is NOT my problem. Only buy codes if the seller can provide a screenshot of the code in the chest. The first player to reach the Grand Prize Room that lies beyond the password-locked lift at the bottom of the labyrinth (in the Coal Level), and successfully turns in the book which is found in the password-locked chest in the Grand Prize room (again, can be opened with the full code) will be awarded the Grand Prize. RULES: Read and follow these and we'll all have fun! This time, Speed Potions are allowed. Up to "/speed 3" is allowed. NO MORE than "/speed 3". /fly is NOT ALLOWED. mods and admins who wish to participate ARE eligible to win the Grand Prize, as long as they follow all the rules. All use of TP+ commands while at Labyrinth town is NOT ALLOWED. That means NO /top, NO /jumpto, NO /j. The labyrinth is designed so that they won't significantly help you anyway but please do not try. Use of compasses or powertools to activate TP+ commands is also not allowed. If you have multihome but not /back, you may only use /sethome to set up to ONE TEMPORARY HOME inside the Labyrinth, only as a way to completely exit the maze temporarily and re-enter it. Do not abuse this as a way to move about within the maze. If you have the /back command, please use /back instead. Setting more than one home inside the labyrinth is not allowed. If you want to leave the maze (to go get food/potions/whatever), using /back to go back to where you were at in the maze is ALLOWED Regular TPing ("/tpahere" and "/tpa") is only allowed within the game's lobby area, in order to help people reach the lobby without needing to find the spawn portal. Once you are inside the labyrinth, you MAY NOT TP other players to your location within the labyrinth, or have other players TP you to them. Use of Ender Pearls while at Labyrinth town is prohibited. Being in disguise or vanished while in the labyrinth itself is not allowed, because we need to be able to monitor the area in order to verify that all players are following the rules. Break the rules and you will be disqualified. If disqualified during the competition I will ask you to leave town. After the event is complete, the labyrinth will remain open and will be available for you to visit any time you wish! IMPORTANT: Labyrinth town is closed for construction. Please do not visit it until the event date is reached. I appreciate your patience in waiting for me to finish the modifications for this new race. I continue to work on it steadily, and it will be ready to go on September 7th!
Epicmiti, there is only one race. Officepwnz123, past winners are not eligible for the grand prize, but if you finish first I will award you something nice (maybe like 50 Netherstars). This past winners restriction also applies to NDM57dcraft, riku1301, and A18greek18.
Yes you may sell codes, but please be careful to only buy codes from people you trust. I would suggest selling/buying via screenshots of the code pieces.
Sounds awesome! I hope I can finally make it this time. (I'm on vacation next week so I'm not sure I can).
I need to wait until construction is almost done before I set a date. Based on the amount of work I still have to do, the race will probably be in about a month. I'm aiming for a Saturday afternoon, EST. EDIT: The race is scheduled to start @ 5PM Eastern Standard Time on September 7th, 2013
You must find the Coal Level exit with ALL 15 codes to win the Grand Prize. The labyrinth will be very challenging, especially the Coal Level.
oh ok so the codes u right down I guess and then first to get them all tell u and make it down wins the grand prize? and it must be hard considering the awesome prizes
The Grand Prize Chest will be protected with a password lock which is made up of all the codes strung together. Whoever opens the chest first wins! The only way to reach the Grand Prize Chest is to find the correct exit lift in the Coal Level. Yes, the Labyrinth will be very hard.
