Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

A Minecraft Challenge

So I heard through the grapevine that the Temple has a fairly active Minecraft community. While I don't have the free time to join your server, I do have a challenge for you, one that has been greatly enjoyed by several other boards.

The challenge is this: I will host a server whose world consists of a single island. On that island is a massive fortress whose winding halls contain my most cunning tricks and traps - and a treasure vault filled with unimaginable riches. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find this treasure vault - it will require agile leaps, proficiency in word puzzles, finding hidden clues that let you know which lever will open the door and which will bathe you in lava, and even a bit of electrical engineering via redstone circuits. Some parts of the fortress will require teamwork to overcome, and some will even pit you against one another.

Certain rules must be followed in this challenge.
-You'll be playing Minecraft as though it were an adventure game: no breaking or placing blocks unless specifically instructed.
-Your number of "lives" will be limited: you have three at first, but more can be earned.
-Please post your progress when you accomplish something notable or finish playing. The fortress will take multiple sessions to finish, I guarantee you, and nobody wants to waste time trying to solve a puzzle another player already figured out.
-Teamwork is encouraged, but betraying other players for personal gain is still acceptable. If you can trap a rival in a puzzle room, more power to you - until you need him to push a switch elsewhere in the complex.
-If you've played my challenge before on another board, please do not spoil it for anyone else.
-Once you've found the treasure and escaped, feel free to use an inventory editor to hack it into your singleplayer campaign without feeling like a cheater - you've earned it. (Alternatively, if the ops on the ToK server want to give your multiplayer character a copy of the treasure, that's fine too)

How many of you are interested in the challenge? I could get it set up in maybe a week - there are some tweaks I want to make over Spring Break, in between advancing nuclear fusion research and finally cleaning my apartment.

This seems like it could be fun; I would like to try it out.

Though I will probably lose my lives very quickly!

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

I've heard of challenges like this before. Color me interested.

How did I not see this thread. I'd like to try!
