Description:
You and 3 other people will be put into an arena in different corners to fight to the death. There will be hidden traps around the arena, so watch your backs.

Rules:
1.)You will get to choose 3 chest, in which each one will have a weapon, armor, and a potion.
2.)You must have PVP on from when you are told to before you enter the arena from your corner to when you are told by a game moderator to turn it off.
3.)If you log off, teleport away or die in any way during a match, you lose.
4.)You will not need to place blocks or mine in any way so it will be a private realm.
5.)The times for each match will be listed and if you can not make it into the arena withen 5 minutes after start you will lose.
6.) Each round before hand you will have a predetermined corner, and if you arent in the arena on time, but you are there befoer the 5 minutes are up you can enter the arena with an empty inventory after falling in from the top losing half your health and being stranded in the middle of the action.
7.)Rule 6 only applies if no other player in the games has died yet.
8.) There can be an infinite amount of players from any nation, but there either has to be the same amount of another nation per round or it has to be all of one nation verses eachother to the death.
9.) In the end there might be a surprise for the winner.
10.) The entrance fee has not yet been decided.
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!

Update:
1) Now, instead of chests, there will be storage carts filled with random gear, but no diamond or gold. Also, there may be potions, but nothing like Insta Heal, Insta Damage or regen.
2-7) All the same.
8) One player per nation per round, except on certain occasions.
9) No, it won't be a stick. Might be a potion, enchanted tool, etc. Also, the prize amount will be 2000-5000 credits, depending on the occasion.
10) We're thinking 200-500.

Just a few ideas...

Make the entrance fee a bit bigger, on bigger fights. Like a big opening fight would be awesome.

Also, you should totally raise the reward as well, it would be far more fun if there was actually something on the line to win! In the book, if they lose, they die. It'd be cool if the entrance fee was higher, so people wouldn't want to lose, and then the prize would be faaaaaar higher as well.

Also, I'd totally donate like 5k to the prize.

It's always far more fun when the stakes are raised!

The parts I marked in bold seem problematic. The participants will need to be added to the private realms in order to retrieve the gear from the storage carts--this would be an issue if you don't want players to be able to build anything. As workarounds, you could refrain from giving pickaxes (to minimize the amount of terraforming players can do during the game), or replace the storage chests with non-participant players who stand around with sneak mode on, and give the gear they're holding to the first player that finds them (this would eliminate the need to give the players building rights).

They break the cart.

No offense but this will not be nearly as cool as it might sound.. it only works good on a custom server with pvp plugins that are tweaked for this particular scenario. I liked the book but its not going to be much different than a normal pvp arena. Only bigger and more people... also dont you think 2x2 realm is a little small considering the size of the arena in the book. An area with over lapping biomes and perhaps a river in it might had been more suiting. However I commend you for your efforts and I wish you all the best of luck. Who knows maybe I am just being narcissistic and it will turn out good.

Also are you guys planning on making the "Cornucopia"?

Yes, I realize that, but, we have a limited budget, as we are 3 people and no donations so far.
Also, we're making it 3x3 (150x150).

[mitchie151]

I would donate, but I'm afraid i need it for Sub Aurora and future projects.

I hope you can get 70k and make it 200x200

I wish.....
We already have 5 realms done. Another 11 would be hard.

Gotcha. Have you guys considered a master switch that the game mod can hit to release the players into the arena? Would be pretty easy to wire with redstone or maybe get more tricky and make it so an early start will cause them to fall into a death pit and die instantly (kinda like the book). This would result in a disqualification.

Easy work-around: Make the "chests" be people instead that stand around holding a bunch of gear. Rather than go to the trouble of "giving" the gear, you have to kill those chest-people, and they will pop out a bunch of goodies! Kind of like a pinata! (the chest people will stand around in a cluster in the center)

Or also dispensers with pressure plates/button/switches. Personally I like the "living chest people" idea better

[meepers]

So. I maybe will be able to get another tribute
Also, I am central time, but the other tribute I'll have to find out.
