Wild West Event: Results & Summary

MrDasky said: ↑

Hey Brawlers!

The Wild West Event: Staff+Sheriffs VS Bandits - Takeover the Cartel - was pulled off very well with more than 50 players online at once. We, the staff and sheriffs, enjoyed every second of it even though our defences didn’t stand for long. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Around 30 minutes into the first round the target @randomcitizen1 was killed by @Xion. In the second round @Nafsu made it all the way up to the tower to get the lucky shot!

Congratulations to the winners and have a fun time with the money and ELITE you won!

Here are some pictures from the event:

This will for sure not be the last Wild West event we will organize and we hope to see all of you at future events. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our events please leave them in the comments below. Remember that we are always open for suggestions - as we want to provide you with remarkable events to make the most out of your time on Brawl.

Hope you had fun!

Wild West Event: Takeover the Cartel

MrDasky said: ↑

You heard him! This Saturday at 8PM UTC (3PM EST, 9PM CET) ride out and meet us at the Coco cartel! Lots of money is at stake! The first player to kill the target @randomcitizen1 will be crowned victor and gets all the money! But hey, don’t think this will be an easy match. We have modified the cartel to make it stand against an attack. Both staff members and sheriffs will be defending the cartel. We will be heavily armored and we will hold off until a player, or team, can break through our defences and kill the target.

Now for the prizes: The first player to kill @randomcitizen1 will earn 1 month of Wild West ELITE and 400,000 gold.

Information

We will do 2 rounds.

The same player and his/her team can not win twice.

Staff and sheriffs will defend the cartel. Sheriffs will not handcuff during the event.

Summary:

Where: wildwest.brawl.com

When: Saturday, April 29 at 9 PM CET / 8 PM UTC / 3 PM EST / 12 PM PST

How to participate: Go to Coco cartel. Use your compass.

We hope to see many of you there!

View attachment 37641

Hello Brawlers,

As many of you may know, the staff team have been working on arranging a tournament for Kit lately. After some planning and a few polls that we had you fill out for us, we are proud to announce that we are finally ready to host sign-ups!

Based on the two polls found here and here, this is what has been decided:

We will be hosting the tournament on the KitBrawl server itself. The setup that will be used, will be the Soup+ kit. This will consist of a full set of diamond armor, a diamond sword [Sharpness IV], one inventory of soups, along with one refill [17 soups], and speed 1.

Matches will be refereed by a staff member. If no staff are on the kit server at the time, you can use /support to ask for one to come help. Matches will be based on a one duel elimination style with the final round being a best of 3.

Link to signups can be found here. Signups will end May 3rd so make sure you signup!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When? May 6 - May 7
Where? 1.kit.brawl.com
How do I participate? After signups close, we will post a thread stating everyone's match times. Once that goes live, you will be expected to arrive within 20 minutes of your time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prizes
1st place: 1 Month Global Elite
2nd place: 1 Month Global MVP
3rd and 4th place: 1 Month Global VIP

New Main Website!

chickenputty said: ↑

Hello Brawlers,

We're proud to finally announce one of the first revisions, ever, of the Brawl website! The goal of creating the new website was to gather all important information into one space. Newcomers get a first good impression at what Brawl is and what we have to offer with the new frontpage. But, the website has dynamic content around every corner for every visitor to enjoy.

You can check it out at https://www.brawl.com/

The new pages are as follows:

https://www.brawl.com/

The frontpage as you know it, now a central spot to find links and information.

https://www.brawl.com/games/

Lists out all the games and provides links for each of their pages.

https://www.brawl.com/play/

Tells noobies how to join Brawl

https://www.brawl.com/players/

Mainly to search for players, but also has some interesting dynamic information, such as all birthdays

https://www.brawl.com/rules/

All rules can be found here, in one spot! Much wow.

https://www.brawl.com/support/

Contains useful links, Q&A, and other useful mini-guides

https://www.brawl.com/vote/

All about voting: info about how, rewards, and leaders.

The site was built with the Bootstrap framework. This allowed us to produce a responsive (try it on mobile!) and stable site quickly. However, this means the site may have elements that look like other websites right now. We plan to continue styling it until it is truly one of a kind.

We plan to re-work the forums a little to flow better with the new website, but for now they will stay the same.

Thank you to:
@chickenputty for designing and making the whole thing
@GreenNature for the badass banners on each specific game page.
@D3RGPS31 various backend help

Let us know what you think!

RockTomb said: ↑

View attachment 37431

Hello Brawlers,

Today we are here to present a chance for you to win a rank for a short time! As you may remember, in the past we have hosted 'Top 10 Kills' events, and this is another one of those, exclusive to War. You most likely know the drill by now, but I will go over it in case you do not.

To enter, simply record yourself getting a insane kill on war, and then proceed to upload the video To YouTube. After you have done that, submit the clip here.

The competition will last for 2 weeks, meaning you have until Saturday, April 22nd to submit your Amazing kills! However, we are only accepting single clips, not montages. We will be choosing the winners, and will be revealing them shortly!

The prizes are as follows:
10th-4th: 7 Days Of Global ELITE
3rd-1st: 30 Days Of Global ELITE

We are all looking forward to your awesome kills! See you getting these on the battlefield!

Website Revamp!
In case you didn't notice, Brawl got a new main website! If it had to be described it in two words, they would be clean and professional... or maybe sleek n' sexy... Both descriptions are completely fitting! Combining appealing graphics, simple navigation, and useful information, the new look really has taken things to a whole new level. Not convinced? Take a look and lose yourself in it here! Also, this thread contains a more detailed description of the new site's features. What are you doing still reading this? Go and check it out!

HG Kit Rotation
Normal: Barbarian, Frozen, Scout, Cultivator
VIP: Boxer, Jackhammer, Tarzan
MVP: Airdrop, Cookie Monster, Madman, Phantom, Thor
ELITE: All kits, as always

Featured Brawler
For this month’s issue, we have selected a featured brawler who has been a part of this community for a long while, and greatly contributed during his time spent here. This guy is part of our Wiki Team, Build Team, and he is always full of ideas for Capture the Flag! This dude has imagination, creativity, and elegance in writing, building, and forum postings respectively. Congrats to @Daniellll for being this month’s Feature Brawler! Be sure to give him a pat on the back and a big thanks!

Trivia Question
Last month's question was: How many unique guns (including the crossbow on War) has Brawl used on its fully released servers?
The answer was 70. @TheTitaniumTitan answered it first and earned a forums trophy!

This month's question is: Which Brawler or Brawlers have the most forums trophies?
The answer will be revealed along with the winner in the next edition of The Brawl News.

Group Advertisement
When logging on to the Wild Wild West, you’ll find that the dominant teams are the ones you’re going to want to be a part of. In this feature, we bring you just that. This team is new, but they are a dominant gang of experienced and veteran bandits. What team are we talking about? TNJKC. The name is odd, but it signifies the leaders in the team. Be sure to check our Featured Group’s thread out here and apply!

The cheerful screams of the audience reverberated around the small stadium and made the walls echo the sound. Five players were walking out from one of the small tunnels at the bottom, lining up in the very center. Over them hovered a machine of sorts. An observation box stood silently until the audience had calmed down, after which an announcer’s voice boomed forth from within.

“Good evening folks! It’s your host, Mario here, keeping you right in the middle of the action. Tonight we bring you, 5 brand new contestants. Give them a round of applause!” The crowd went wild at this and Mario waited until it had subsided. Below, the 5 players stood proudly. This was the famous show, Mario Party, and anyone who was anyone had played. Mario continued.

“I’d like to introduce our competitors now if you will. From left to right we have Peas, Ryguy, Feather, Charlotte, and Purest!” More applause and the 5 waved happily. This time, Mario rode off their enthusiasm.

“We all know how this works. Five games in a row, everyone is each other’s foe. Try to stay alive for all five and get that star for which you have to strive. If you can’t beat the game, then you can’t stake your claim, so whatever you do, go for the fame! What’s the name of this game?”

“Mario Party!” The crowd shouted back. At those words, the machine in the middle of the field whirred to life and covered the contestants in a green light. Mario had his hand poised over a red button and shouted “Then let’s party!” before pushing the button and making the group disappear in a flash of light.

~~~
They reappeared in a small arena decorated like Yoshii Island. Hovering in the sky, a countdown timer ticked down from 10 seconds. Each competitor split off from each other in separate directions and charlotte paced on top of a tower, deciding whether or not to stand her ground. The timer hit 0 and her armor turned a shade of green. Above her, she could hear Mario shout,

“And it looks like Charlotte’s got the infection!” She sighed and jumped down from the yellow tower she stood on. She knew Purest would be hiding and Peas would probably be up higher, so she headed off towards purple territory. There was a hidden cutout in the stairwell there that not many knew about, but that she and Purest had hidden in plenty of times. As she ran, she let her mind begin to form a plan, but it was short lived because soon she heard a rush of air and felt something hard connect with her shoulder shortly. Pain exploded in her right side and she crashed into the side of a pillar.

“Ow. A good hit by Ryguy on that one!” Mario announced. The crowd cheered.

“Nice one Ryguy!” Feather said, walking into view and giving him a high five. Ryguy smiled back and they ran off together. Charlotte sat there weighing the options. She could choose to chase after them since she knew exactly where they were, or she could continue on towards the location Purest might be. Charlotte sighed once more and gathered herself together before running off again. She couldn’t waste time chasing two people. She’d need backup. It wasn’t long before she was in purple territory and making her way towards the hideout. Above, Mario was giving the crowd her backstory.

“New to the game, but not to competing, Charlotte has been on game shows before. She excels in quick thinking and even quicker reaction time, so I’m excited to see what she does in this game of extreme tag. Will she rise to the occasion and spread the infection or crash and burn from the resistance?”

“Of course I'm going to tag people…” charlotte said under her breath, slightly frustrated. Mario was a good announcer, but everything he did he did for the cameras and not for the truth. Although, she couldn’t blame him for creating some suspense. Coming up next to the stairs, she crouched down in order to not be seen and slunk around to the other side until she was right next to the opening to the hideout. Drawing in her breath and hoping her instincts were correct, she jumped forwards and tagged the surprised Purest, causing him to backpedal and slam into the back wall. The crowd exploded into mad praise and Mario’s voice came out loud over the speakers.

“And another one bites the dust. Purest is down!” Purest scowled at Charlotte, then started to laugh.

“Am I that predictable?” He chuckled. Charlotte simply winked and stepped aside to let him out. Looking up at the clock, Charlotte saw 2 minutes shown and worry began to cloud her mind.

“We better get moving.” She suggested urgently. Purest nodded in agreement but frowned.

“But we have no idea where any of them could be. I mean, where’s Peas?” both looked at each other after that and said in unison,

“On a tower.” It was, after all, his favorite strategy. They set out to yellow together and it wasn’t long before Purest spotted Peas perched on the tallest column in the yellow territory. They split up; Purest taking to higher ground since he was better at parkour, and Charlotte sneaking around until she and Purest had trapped him between them. It would be Purest’s job to knock Peas off towards the ready Charlotte. As she was waiting for any signs of movement, she suddenly heard a crack, followed by a shout.

“It’s a hit!” Mario shouted and Charlotte got ready. Peas’s shadow appeared above her. She definitely didn’t expect Peas to fall almost right on top of her! Apparently, he didn’t either because he gave a shout and tried to turn in the air. With a little squeak, she dodged out of the way. Peas landed awkwardly and tripped backward, landing on his backside in the process. Charlotte was up in a moment, darting back in and smiling as she extended a hand to him. Peas hung for a moment, contemplating attempting to make an escape, but realized it would be futile against Charlotte. He took her hand and turned green in the process, becoming infected. There were some awwwww’s from the crowd, as well as some shouts of approval.

“Peas has gone pea green!” Mario joked. Charlotte laughed lightly at the pun and glanced up at the timer. Her laugh was cut off abruptly as she inhaled sharply. One minute left!

“We need to go.” She said quickly, “Where’s Purest?”

“Up here….” Came the softer voice of Purest. He jumped down and winced as his leg touched the ground.

“You just had to aim for the leg, didn’t you?” He muttered. Peas grimaced.

“Sorry about that, Purest.” Peas said sheepishly. Purest shrugged and rubbed his leg. Charlotte scanned the arena.

“They were in pink, last I checked. They’re teaming.” She pushed. They needed to get moving. Everyone gathered together, Purest’s leg having improved enough to put weight on, and ran off towards pink territory. As they ran, Charlotte gave out instructions.

“Purest, are you ok to take the higher ground? I want to scare them towards us. Same plan we used with Peas.” He nodded and branched off to begin climbing the nearest column. “Peas, you and I will wait for Purest to send them our direction. Then we get two at once.” Peas gave a thumbs up and together they got into position behind a pillar. Charlotte could hear Purest running before another crack split the air. She heard Mario speak, but she was too zoned in to listen. Footsteps got closer to them.

“Careful Feather. If there’s one, there’s probably more than one close by.” Ryguy’s quiet voice could barely be made out through the sound of Charlotte own heartbeat. She looked over to see Peas bracing himself. The footsteps continued, getting closer, until finally Peas tensed up and stepped out right in front of both of them, catching them off-guard. They tried to turn back, but Peas was ready. He reached out and tagged Ryguy before Feather could swing her knockback stick. Nothing happened. With an exasperated look, Charlotte turned to the timer. Where the time had been, there was now an announcement. Congratulations! Ryguy, Feather! Mario came back on the speaker.

“And that marks the end of our first minigame, folks! Didn’t I tell you it’d be an exciting one today? It seems there was a tie for first place between Ryguy and Feather, with Peas coming in third. The star goes to both the victors, but Peas gets props too. And let’s not forget Purest and Charlotte. Let’s show them all some love!” The cheers were thundering and Charlotte looked at her opponents. Everyone looked a little worn out. That was to be expected. This was, after all, a competition. Everyone was giving it their best. She smiled and everyone else began to smile back. They all high-fived before being teleported back to the stadium. The shouts were almost deafening and Mario was wrapping up the announcement. Charlotte wasn't listening. Instead, she was focused on one thing only.

“When we get back to our rooms, I’m passing out,” Charlotte said. Everyone laughed and agreed. Mario dismissed the group and the 5 players made their way out of the stadium towards their sleeping quarters. Tomorrow would bring another challenge. And this time, charlotte thought, she would win.

Builder of the Month
The Builder of the Month for April is @DeZilla, for his Desert PVP Arena! Aside from being really nice to look at, DeZilla’s map employs many of the great features that Build has to offer. His map, of course, makes use the recent PVP update, but to spice things up he’s imported custom spawners that’ll either give you momentary buffs… or will kill you instantly. Don’t fall into the pit!

On top of that, he’s even gone to the trouble of making his very own resource pack! From tiki torches to death spikes to spinning icons that show what buff you’re getting, the pack is an awesome addition to a map that showcases DeZilla’s skills, both within and outside of Minecraft. Check it out by typing /map 356847 ingame, and download the resource pack with /rp. Use /mode 0 to try it out with a friend!

For his hard work DeZilla receives 3 more maps to build on and a sweet forum medal. Great job!
