Central Post for Troublesome Players 4

Participants Needed for a Minecraft Team-Based Bomb Disposal Research Study!

The Centers for Human AI and Robotic Teaming (CHART) at Arizona State University is looking for Minecraft players to participate in a remote study, where teams will collaborate to defuse bombs in a Minecraft world. Join today at the game website: https://www.socialai.games/SPSO/Login. Check out our promo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScY-En1Odws

Special events

Play three missions on Thursdays and Saturdays, and get a $20 Amazon gift card. Check our game website for updates. You can also qualify for additional prizes:

Grand prizes

At the end of the research team’s data collection (estimated at the end of October 2023), the 10 best-performing teams will win a $50 Amazon gift card per person. 

Weekly prizes

The top-performing three teams each week will receive a $25 Amazon gift card per person. One additional team will be selected from the top 50% of scoring teams for that week (excluding the top-performing three teams previously mentioned) and receive $25 per person.

Sign up to play

The game server is available 24/7; however, three players are required to form a team. Playing between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. PT (8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET) is highly recommended to have more players online simultaneously to form teams.

Or, you can bring two friends to play with you whenever you choose. You can sign up here for times that are more likely to have teammates, and you will receive reminders and preparation instructions:  https://calendly.com/asist-asu/asist-minecraft-study-bomb-disposal-game-session?month=2023-09

ChillZone is a newly releasing Semi-Vanilla server. We're dedicated to providing a great vanilla experience, with small additions that help enhance the multiplayer aspect. We value the community aspect greatly, on ChillZone all players have a say as to what goes on, what gets added, and so on.

We've existed as a community for around 4 years now, starting out with a similar server, inspired by Hermitcraft. This means we're experienced in creating and hosting a community, providing a great experience with great server performance & well developed features. However, we're always looking to add to our tight-knit, welcoming community and share :)

Our Values

Community - In ChillZone all players get a say in what happens, all suggestions and feedback are taken seriously. We're transparent with all decisions made, asking the community for their input and giving our reasoning for everything.

Welcoming - We're committed to creating a diverse environment where all players can feel welcomed, included and accepted. We welcome everyone, from people who are more interested in Redstone, Farming to Builders or people more focused on Community, such as setting up towns.

Stability - We use top of the line, dedicated hardware to ensure your experience is stable. The owner is an experienced sys admin, managing multiple nodes across the network.

Updates - We release frequent updates, keeping the experience fresh. We're also committed to updating to the latest version of Minecraft as soon as possible.

Some of Our Features

- We have a simple, user friendly claims plugin allowing you to easily claim & protect your land, and also provide access to your friends.

- Vanilla Tweaks, including Armor Stands, Mob Heads, Double Shulker Shells, etc.

- Discord Linking, you can talk to your friends ingame from our Discord server!

- Dynmap, allowing you to preview our whole world & some great builds from players.

- Player Shops, including a central shopping district. We do have an economy plugin, however our economy is based around the value of a diamond. The economy is completely player controlled.

- Friendly, experienced and helpful staff, who respect players and use their permissions fairly.

Our Rules

We try to be fairly relaxed, as we aim to build a mature community where staff don't need to parent players. However, obviously any exploiting, griefing, stealing & any sort of abuse to other players will not be accepted. We're a safe place for all, and anyone who doesn't share that interest won't be tolerated.

That was a lot of words, however to summarise we're a great community looking for some new members! We're committed to creating a great player experience, from frequent seasonal events, to our high performing dedicated server with great uptime. If we've hopefully captured your attention in this post - Apply Today! Our application process isn't very complex, we just have a couple simple questions to weed out any unserious players :)
