So I had this idea (while drinking my morning coffee and eating breakfast) for a possible - extended - event. If anyone is familiar with or played "bridges" (on mineplex) it's sorta like that, but here goes:
It starts with a new world or a specially made area; there are several small islands in diff biomes, but all containing the necessary beginnings (at least one tree, an animal or two, sky to bedrock, etc). Every player goes ported to a diff island (I realize that may be a problem since it's a technical thing I know nothing about, so another solution is everyone ported to a main small area with diff ports to each of the islands, and ppl will mark each port with a provided sign as they pick them). Clearly we start with nothing and mobs are active. The goal: mine and create everything you need to arm yourself for the final event which would be on event night. Since people work At different paces and times, this part would start either a week or a full day before event. On event night at a given time everyone will make their own bridge to a central island (this is a difference from the game 'bridges') where there is a castle. At this point pvp will be enabled. Upon reaching the castle everyone must find/fight their way to the top where there is the prize chest. I'm not sure how difficult the castle should be (labyrinthine or simple?) First there wins it.
I figure the second and third place arrivals can get prizes too.
Not sure if this has been done before, but if not- and I'm willing to help with it if you are interested in doing it.
Just a thought

Could also be a team type event - where you are teamed up with the people on the island you port to.

I can't believe no one has any response to this idea is it that bad?

Since I don't PVP, I felt it inappropriate to comment! lol

Perhaps you could help build the castle (since I'm not good with that) and spectate at the event, lol.
I've thought about just starting to make the islands somewhere, when I've finished my current project, but I couldn't make them different biomes, so there's the downfall with that plan.

Thanks Doc, and sorry for being impatient.

I agree about somehow extending the final battle- that's why I thought the castle could be a labyrinth- like the maze pvp event we had- only maybe not so many mobs; players would be fighting each other while trying to find a way up to the top (no building or destroying here). There could be parkour bits and hazards.. (Yes, very involved castle), maybe even a part of it that requires players to venture across a bit of the nether...
Anyway, I thought it was a neat idea - I'd love to see it happen, and esp help with it if I can

Love it!

I'll build the broken down unfinished sections of the castle.
