Grand Theft Minecart

Hello everyone! Today, I am happy to announce a long overdue Building Competition! It has come to our attention that there are so many exceptional builders in our community. We believe that these players should be recognized for the truly amazing skills they possess. And so, here we are hosting this Building Competition! Please make sure to read the below competition rules and guidelines.


Once submitted, all builds will tirelessly be reviewed, evaluated and filtered by an expert panel of judges (the GTM senior team). We will be selecting the top submissions to be voted on by YOU the community. The following are the winning awards:

Last patch, we made the last balance changes to the payouts of the casino, and changed how netguns only effect players wearing wingsuits.

We want to remind players that we have a versioning system that you can see on our MOTDs in the Minecraft Server List, so you can keep up with different patches!

The team has been working on the tease [URL LINK TO FORUM FOR TEASE] that Presidentx released in the announcements.

[Halloween Event]
Between October 31st and November 7th, players will be able to participate in the GTM Halloween Event.

Note: The event only works during the night cycle of the server.

To start the event, players will need to obtain a Candy Bag. They can obtain these from other players or as a rare drop from skeletons that spawn during the event.

Players can use the Candy Bag and 5 tokens at a premium house door to activate Trick or Treat. The tokens will go to the server "pot" amount. Players that are lucky and roll the jackpot will get the tokens in the pot. In general, players can expect to earn 1 roofied chocolate per Trick or Treat event.

Players can use the roofied chocolate for their own enjoyment or sell them in trash cans (only during the event).

Players will also be able to kill skeletons for a chance to drop some roofied chocolate or the candy bag.

[Casino Sub Events]
This week we would like to introduce the start of Casino Sub Events. There are four types of events that can occur when the casino event starts.

- RANDOM: All machines have a random payout scheme.
- STATIC: All machines have the SAME payout scheme.
- SPEED: All machines roll 2-3x faster and have the SAME payout scheme.
- CRAZY: All machines roll 2-3x faster and have a random payout scheme.

The description of each sub event is sent to the player upon joining, or when the event starts....

Last week, we made some small changes to Casino, specifically the resell price of the casino chips to give donor ranks another benefit. We also removed some payout schemes from the casino, and added a couple more new ones. We are almost done collecting data on different payouts and will be changing the way the casino runs in the near future.

We want to remind players that we have a versioning system that you can see on our MOTDs in the Minecraft Server List, so you can keep up with different patches!

Due to the nature of the work required for an upcoming feature, this week's patch is limited in size.

[General Changes]
- Adds a fix to users not receiving crowbars due to store issues. This should now be fixed, and players that created tickets should now start receiving their crowbars.
- Removes payout scheme 3, 14, and 21. Adds payout schemes 23 and 24. Renables payout scheme 10. This means there's new payouts to test and collect data for, so we need players to continue to play. We suspect this will be the last week we'll add schemes before changing how the casino works.

[Weapon Changes]
- Netguns now should only effect players wearing wingsuits. This is a temporary change until we can find a way to make them more fair for jetpackers.
- Netguns will now cause damage to all players if they are hit, even though cobwebs are not spawned.
- Stun Gun now has variable references for stun duration, so in future patches we can increase/decrease this value easily.

[Price Changes]
- Increases buy price of Stun Gun from $500 to $2,500.
- Increases sell price of Stun Gun from $100 to $1,000.
- Decreases buy price of Proximity Mine from $1,500 to $1,250.
- Increases sell price of Proximity Mine from $500 to $600.
- Increases sell price of Sticky Bomb...
