Once again, all good things must come to an end.
The Hardcore survival server will be closed on December 3rd. It may be reopened on that date, but most likely it will not be ready by then and will have a grand re-opening at a later date to be determined.
Why are you closing Hardcore?
Hardcore has seen a lot of ups and downs and a couple different iterations of gameplay during its time on The Sandlot. Originally, it was almost purely vanilla hardcore, with no claims, no chest protections, and when you died, you were locked out until the server was reset.
We felt this was harsh to players who had a bad first spawn at night or made a mistake that kept them out of the server for a month or more, so we changed it to a 1 hour cooldown after death. Even this was a bit too prohibitive, and eventually it got to the...

Sorry for the short notice, but my schedule has been a bit hectic lately and I finally got a window to work on The Sandlot.
There are a ton of plugins that need updates, as well as some infrastructure and OS updates. I will try to keep downtime to a minimum, but expect all servers to be down for at least 20 minutes. I will also try to get everyone's balances updated in HG and get HG2-4 online as well, but no promises on that.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Hi everyone!
I have created a plugin to automatically update your username and your badges on the forums when you join the lobby!
Here's how it works.
The first time you login to the lobby, it will try and match your Minecraft player to your forum account. Since the forum currently only has your username stored, it will look for an account with your current Minecraft name.
If it finds an account, it will add your UUID (your unique Minecraft ID that doesn't change when your name does) to your forum account. From then on, if you change your Minecraft name via Mojang, it will automatically update on the forums the next time you go to the lobby.
If it doesn't find an account, a moderator will need to change your forum username to match your current Minecraft name. Once that is done, the next time you go to the lobby, it will add your UUID as stated above, at which point no more moderator assistance is required for forum name changes! Neat!

Our science team has finally stabilized the final portal in Atlantis. Exploratory teams have found the cause of the devastation of the previous civilization was indeed from beyond the portal. We will only have one chance to protect this new world from this threat, and we need you to help us!
Saturday, October 15th, 2016, the Atlantis End Portal will be opened. At that time, we will launch an attack on the End Dragon, in an effort to protect our new world from destruction. We need brave adventurers to join us in this assault.
Please, chose your equipment carefully, as many deaths are expected and you will likely lose any equipment you take through the portal.
The portal will be opened at 10AM PDT/MST, 11AM MDT, Noon CDT, 1PM EDT or 6PM BST. (Check your own time here, http://everytimezone.com/#2016-10-15,300,cn3 )

Hi guys,
As most of you know, HungerGames has had some pretty serious bugs for a while now. I'm going to try and fix them myself, since the developers are not helping. I will need everyone's cooperation and understanding while I work through all these bugs to try and resolve them.
You need to be aware of the following things:

You need to be aware of the following things:
- HG2, HG3, and HG4 are going to be closed until I am confident that all the major bugs with the plugins are fixed.
- HG1 has been updated to 1.10.2, so you need to use that version to play now.
- We will not be discussing combat mechanic changes right now. I realize the PvP mechanics introduced in 1.9 are controversial, but this is not the time or place to discuss them. They are the default 1.10.2 mechanics with the cooldowns and damage changes.
- Everyone's money has been reset to 0. This is not permanent. Your previous balances will be copied over, but not until all the other bugs are fixed. Any money you earn...

We have a new ban appeal process. As long as you follow our rules and are a good Sandlot citizen, you shouldn't ever have to worry about anything in this post. If you happen to find yourself banned, read on.
Ban appeals now require a forum account. We want every player who plays on The Sandlot to have a forum account.
If you are banned, and you do not currently have a forum account, you must first register on our website. There are instructions how to do that here: http://www.sandlotminecraft.com/thr...-questions-read-this-first.23541/#post-165749
It will seem odd that you have to apply for the whitelist when you are already a player, but just state in your application that you already have whitelist access and are simply requesting to create a forum account.
When loading the Appeal a Ban page, it will automatically fill in your username and email address from your logged in account. This will prevent typos that can sometimes delay ban pardons....
