  1. Dearest members of Cedarcraft, it is with the heaviest of hearts that Tako, Uchi, OneiriosDreamKing, and myself bring you the news of mom's passing. It was at her wish that we did not inform the Cedarfamily that she was sick again, unfortunately this time her body just was not able to recover. Mom's start with Minecraft and Cedar (the only server she ever played on) began a few years ago when her kids shared time bonding over the game. Often she'd watch Tako play from over his shoulder and participate in chat by having Tako type her comments. This early interaction earned her the nickname "The Watcher." Tako, Uchi, and I had a brilliant mother's day gift idea and pulled our money together to purchase her her very own account! She thought about her screenname for a while and eventually settled on "etsi_wahuhi"-Cherokee for Mother Owl-essentially the best "Watcher" name there could be. From that momment on she was the Momma Owl to anyone and everyone on the server. It was momma's selflessness and her tendency to be anyone's mom should they need that led to the staff asking her to join the moderators. Cedarcraft and the Cedarfamily was among her favorite entertainment in her years of retirement. She really did view this community as an extended family. Although we grieve for our momma owl, she did request that I pass on a few words of Momma wisdom, -Remember to help each other, especially new players so that they feel welcomed and our nest in the great Cedar tree will grow! -Be kind always. We may have disagreements because we all think differently, but that does not mean that we cannot be friends. -Don't give the staff a hard time, they are people too and doing their best. When possible give them a helping hand if they ask. -When you are bored with the game don't give up on it, inspiration is everywhere! If all else fails mine ores and gather supplies for a rainy day...just avoid the lava! -Keep each other close, check on each other, make peace and forgive as often as needed. -Most importantly-- Remember, Owl Mom is always watching!
  2. Congrats Elli, Dawn, and TreePunch!
  3. Momma escaped! Call the authorities! JK! Welcome home again!
  4. Hopefully momma will be home soon...she really doesn't like her limited choices of hospital food! 😂 tried to get me to sneak her food from the vending machine!
  5. Just a quick update: momma is home! Yay! She was ready to go home mentally at least just days after getting to the hospital. Owl mom is one tough cookie, and I'm proud I get to call her mom! ❤
  6. Mom & velocirandom did the majority of the work on the interior decorating, I just stood around most days lol.
  7. Well I hope they get you home on time momma, I know you want out of there!
  8. This past comp (a team build) two teams entered and only one team actually built. Unless we had 3 teams I do not give out prizes as there's no competition that way. However the build was done well! As for the future of the build comps I leave that in the hands of the rest of the staff if someone would like to step up and take over. My demands at work have grown and with growing stress my health becomes worse. I've got to put myself first here and lessen my stress somewhere, unfortunately I am unable to quit my job XD
  9. Popina's build: 7 levels= 30 Used Space= 10 (most floors though they had something were vastly empty) Windows= 10 Originality= 25 Total= 75 Winners will stand as is.
  10. It has been brought to my attention that I need to rejudge. I had received word that Popina wasn't able to finish but as it turns out she did. I still have all of the builds saved and will rejudge this evening at some point. I apologize.
  11. Ladies and Gents of Cedarcraft please grab your partners for this build! It was suggested that I attempt to run a team build so why not do so now? For September's theme it is Vikings! As long as your build is viking themed you're in the race to place! You can build a viking longboat, a meadhall, heck you can even build a giant Thor's hammer! Get creative! Requirements: 1. Must work in partners 2. Must be viking themed 3. Must work in Norse Runes into the build (i.e. as a floor design, inlaid on the walls, etc.) 4. Remember to use your space wisely Inspiration Pics found on Google: Teams will have until October 5th to complete their entries (only one plot per team) Prizes: To each member of the team: 1st: 1000 ember 2nd: 800 ember 3rd: 500 ember
  12. Prizes: Etsi: has donated her ember back to the Build Comp Funds to keep them running Bauerdog: 1000 Dippy: 500
  13. I will give access to the prizes and give out the prize ember tomorrow. For now I need rest! Those wanting their builds moved please remember that entities like armor stands and pets don't move, also paintings and item frames don't transfer over either. If you wish to keep them please take those down and then mail me in game or pm on discord with the general location you'd like your build put at. Thanks! Also thank you for being considerate to wait on the prizes, Dreamy and I are sharing one computer for the time being until his is repaired (soon!) and therefore I need to give him time on the game too. ^_^
  14. Winners are: Etsi_Wahuhi, Bauerdog2015, and Dippy8390
  15. This month's theme will be Towers! Requirements: 1. Must be original and not based on a movie tower or real life tower. 2. In order for it to be considered a tower there must be at least 7 levels and each level must server some purpose. For example the top level might be a beacon like light in which the next to top level would need to be the operation room aka redstone to operate the beacon, the next level down might be the tower keeper's living quarters..etc. 3. There's no restriction on how tall the tower is as long as you use your space wisely. Each accessible level must be at least 3 blocks tall. 4. Any level used for living like quarters will need to have at least one window. This window can be glass or it can be a decorative hole that does not allow anyone to slip in through the blocks. Even fencing will work for this requirement. Remember that we have changed locations and are now near Northwick I will have an admin address this ASAP to change the warp. Until they can switch the warp the comp is at the following location: -2579, 65, 654 You have until Sat. September 7th to complete your builds! This time I will include a rubric based judging on every build at the time the winners are announced to ensure that there's no favoritism and that the comp has been judged fairly.
  16. There has already been blowback from a few players over the winners. Let me clarify that I judge each build based on meeting the criteria and originality. Let me also take a moment to remind players that complaining ant nitpicking about the winning builds is not good sportsmanship and continued behavior will result in a 3 month ban from the competition to give such persons time too cool down. My friends and family should not be made to feel like they can't enter & have fun with everyone else because of situations like this. Cedarcraft is a fun, supportive, uplifting community and these behaviors do not reflect what the CC server stands for.
  17. And the winners are: 3rd Place: blue_knigh I enjoyed the redstone tables and the outside entrance for the sleeping quarters, however, the attic space was wasted 2nd Place: ellibear Great use of the grounds using up all the space and using the greenery for an entrance, there were however areas of wasted space such as an empty balcony there's a lot more you could have done there to fill in and decorate the space. and 1st place: Dreamy! (I know what others are going to say, no this was not favoritism, no this wasn't a bribe) There was no wasted space whatsoever. The grounds were completed, there were multiple levels, several seating areas, a bar with bar stools and cups ready to drink from, the kitchen was filled with appliances, plenty of rooms, two decorated balconies and even the bathroom provided more than other builds such as a towel and toilet paper. This build included several details that made use of basic items in minecraft to be something entirely different, even the meeting room featured a fire pit which was unique compared to the general fireplaces seen in the other builds. I will attempt to upload some videos I took of each build when I get back from work tomorrow, until then you can check out the builds by visiting /ewarp buildcomp to see the builds for yourself. I will also be placing the prize boxes down and sending the monetary gains to the winners. Tomorrow August's comp will also be announced and we are moving locations, tomorrow evening I will have one of the admins change the comp warp to the new location near Northwick.
  18. I think Dreamy might like Scare Tactics lol then again it might give him ideas to spook me XD lmao! I've found the Great British Baking Show a while ago and I'm still watching it at the moment. Its good but if I fall asleep due to the meds I don't have to rewind to re watch a part to understand what's going on.
  19. Dreamy & I already watched season 3 in 2 days lol
  20. So the every clumbsy Zili has outdone herself again! Y'all know I'm constantly tripping over invisible wires or something right? Well nope apparently I had a misdiagnosis and its gone on for over 2 years now and now I need surgery! Dreamy will be taking good care of me and making sure I don't put weight on my foot for 6 to 8 weeks while I recover (after that only 50% weight on my foot for another 4 weeks) in all this injury (lisfranc ligament repair) will take nearly a year to full recover from. That means I'll have some free time to throw a movie or tv show on in the background while I craft (both jewelry and minecraft) as well as the ever growing pile of grades to complete as I return to work at the start of August! I'll be laid up on Dreamy's couch with my foot in the air to keep down swelling. So recommend your fav tv shows and movies to us. Dreamy has an ever growing list of movies I have never seen that we'll also try to work through.
  21. Way back in the day...I mean way back. When I first got into Harry Potter and found a love of text based role play (think fanfics written person by person type of deal based on how their character would react to the previous character's doings) we used to represent ourselves with dollz which were from drag and drop pixel art sites. That gave way to dolling (creating pixel dolls either from scratch or using a premade base (the human body without clothes, hair, or accessories). This art form is dying out, but every so often I get the itch to create a new doll...and since minecraft is a pixeled game why not include a bit of that asthetic as well? So I present to you my first doll in about 3 years, me, in hufflepuff inspired clothes, my new blue hair and what is that??? I'm standing in front of a minecraft house? you bet! As always dollers (those of us that make dolls) give credit to the base maker. This base is by wish04 now known as wishuponapixel
  22. Yes we did this theme a while ago (when I first started the build comps up again 2 maps ago). This was a favorite and I thought, what a great way to bring back some nostalgia while challenging players to recreate what they may have already done. There's a twist to this though... you do not have to keep your tavern/mead hall in the medieval build style! You can take it back to Roman inspiration, put a Mayan spin on it, or take it all the way to the future! Here are the requirements: 2 levels- one level for the drink & food and the other for sleeping quarters Fire element in the main gathering space Food prep area (like a full kitchen, line prep cook area, or kitchenette, etc). A sign with the name of your Tavern/Mead Hall (can be a basic wooden sign or it can be incorporated into the build using blocks to spell it out, or hanging banners with letters) 1st Place 1500 2nd Place 1000 3rd Place 500 As always each winner will receive a box of goodies at the build comp house along with their ember prizes. Remember the more original and creative you can be with the build earns you more points! You have until August 5th to build your entry, I will Judge around 12 noon (central time). Please let me know here, on discord pm's, or the /mail system in game if you'd like to participate and I will set you up with a plot. Players from June's comp if you'd like to keep your plot please let me know, plots will remain named until Friday so that any players from last month can start their builds for this month if they want to continue with July's comp. After Friday I will reassign the plots from players not wishing to participate this month.
  23. Winner time! I've included a collage of the top 5 builds, but I do want to say thank you Cedarians for making this a successful Build Comp Month. Winners are: 1st Place: Blue_knigh 2nd Place: Missatessatessy 3rd Place: Dippy8390 Money and prize boxes will be available soon!
  24. Thanks the first one was supposed to be 303, fixed now!
