Wow, that's huge! Nice work so far! You're a brave one making such an ambitious project above ground!

@CraftyMyner Day before? It's April 1st for the server ;)

Okay you got me. I'm not usually so easily fooled. ;P

I downloaded a ::caugh:: (trial) version of Sony Vegas Pro. It's very robust and probably more than you need, but I thought I'd chime in. I later purchased the fully licensed student version from eBay.

I didn't see anything about the wither in the rules. Common sense dictates not to set one free close to spawn. I'm thinking with mob griefing off I should be able to put one in a box where ever I choose and dispatch him pretty easily.
On the other hand, anyone have extra beacons/nether stars/or wither skulls to sell/trade?

@CraftyMyner Each purchase of a 1/4 Bill gets you 2 pets and 2 mob heads. Just let me or an admin know next time you are ingame and we can get you your pets.

Can I collect the pets later once I find a place for my perminant home? I just don't want to lose the pets because I waited too long to claim them. If the offer will expire soon I'll just build a quick shrine for them.

@CraftyMyner There is no difference between being online or offline while you donate. CraftyCrates can be claimed at any time.

I went with the 1/4 bill VIP+ I think I read that it includes some mob heads and pets. Is that still true? Will I still be able to claim those gifts if my initial donation expires? I plan to renew anyway. Would a follow on 1/4 bill include 2 more heads and pets?

Congrats on winning the gold Carl_sagan billions and billions of nuggets... I can get you mending if you still need it, but I don't think I'll be on again until April.

Too old to be playing with you children. Still, here I am...

@CraftyMyner ?

Surprised you would enter the lottery because of likely perception of conflict of interest, disappointed that the remedy was to drop the winnings at spawn where it's likely some that benefited weren't even stakeholders. I feel confident that you didn't cheat, still I find the outcome disappointing. I guess I was looking forward to winning or congratulating one of my peers. I'm sure you got a lot of pushback and I didn't want to add to the drama (but since you asked) :P
