Teams have been formed! There will be 3 teams. See the first post in this message thread to find your team! You can STILL JOIN Hard Teams by posting here. The teams will need to have names of some kind. Follow the links below to choose your team name (please only participate in YOUR team). Team names are limited to 11 characters or less.

The theme for this Hard Teams is: ADVENTURE. Get out in the world and do stuff. There will be a few things to encourage that: Achievements will be revamped to encourage adventure. Many achievements will have reduced requirements. Do adventure, but try not to die excessively. Dying an excessive number of times will cost your team more points this round. The world will have some special quirks that will encourage moving around the map. All biomes can exist! The mods on each team will be able to designate some of the kids on their team as Adventurers, which will give them a kit of full chain armor any time they die. (Also no other players will be able to wear chain armor). These players will be especially well suited to explore the world fearlessly! NO MOB GRINDERS. This is a special rule for this round. Please do not build any mob grinders. This applies to ALL mobs. You are intended to fight (or shoot) overworld mobs, not sit in one place and slay them with no danger to yourself (yes you can still pillar up, build a wall, etc). You can still use spawners however you like (they are not movable with silk touch this round). You can still build any other machines you want, and villagers will exist.
If you can't pick a name, I will go back to my original plan of naming the teams Rock, Paper, and Scissors.
Updated the Hard Teams rule above to state NO MOB GRINDERS in ALL worlds now (overworld, nether, end). Again you can still use spawners normally.
The more death tiers you achieve, the more points you lose, but it gets pretty costly at 100 deaths. 100 deaths = 200 point penalty 250 deaths = 400 point penalty From what I've seen most players should not die over 100 times if they are at least trying not to die. 250 deaths actually takes some complete disregard for dying - you pretty much have to intentionally die some for that. Also if you die a lot it should usually be because you were out there getting a lot of points!
I hope it's not too late, but I would like to join if possible. Sorry for responding so late. I don't check the forums much, so I didn't know about this until my brother told me. It sounds really fun, though!
@c0wg0d are you able to set up the forums? The teams are up to date in the first post in this thread.
