It is crazy to believe that we have made it through 19 seasons of UHC! You guys are awesome for constantly showing up and making this happen!
Season 20 will be held this Saturday, May 10th at 6PM UTC. Please be sure to verify what that means in your time zone.
In celebration of 20th season, I am adding an additional voting option to mix things up a bit. I anticipate (and hope) this vote wins myself
.
FFA then Random Teams
What this means is that everyone will be in a "free for all" so to speak, for the first 20 minutes. After the 20 minutes is up everyone will be randomized into teams. The good news is that the 20 minute marker will coincide with the morning on the second day! At this point, teams will be re-scattered to new locations so make sure you have all of your important stuff before the 20 minute mark. Players will be given a 1 minute notice before they are re-scattered so use this time wisely to grab all of your important stuff. Teams will only be randomized once, make the best of it and work with your teammate from this point on to eliminate all of your competition. Also, health and hunger will not be regenerated upon the re-scatter so all the damage you have taken through this point will stay with you.
A microphone is not necessary for participation but it is highly recommended to communicate quickly during times of battle or warning teammates of creepers/skeletons/etc.
Check out the rules here:
As always, familiarize yourself with the rules and be sure to avoid breaking them. Rule violations will result in a kick from the UHC and possibly a suspension from future UHC's. These rules were established with fun and fairness to all players in mind. If you have questions please ask because we'd hate to kick anyone from a UHC due to lack of knowledge or understand. The simplest rule is No Branch Mining. This is simple to follow, just ask yourself, "What am I mining stone here for?" and if the answer is "to find gold/diamonds/maybe a cave is this way" then do not do it. If the answer is "I heard a cave sound/bat/water/lava/zombie/etc. coming from this direction and I am trying to find it." then you are fine.
If you meet your unfortunate demise you may chat for a few moments for a sportsmanship good game, or to see how your teammates finish the fight. Please do not spoil anything by typing into chat or talking into skype "HOW MANY WOLVES DID YOU HAVE OMG?!" or "WOW FLAME BOW OMG GG" or "WOW NOW I GUESS YOU HAVE MY FULL DIAMOND ARMOR, LOL!!" Lots of UHC is about secrecy and hiding your advantages. If you give away something about your opponents then other players can plan strategy around information that they did not obtain themselves. If you have been eliminated from the UHC that doesn't mean it is over for everyone, please respect the other players still in the game and leave without raging, insulting, or spoiling.
Unless you are explicity told before the UHC begins that you may stay in game for spectator mode please leave or a mod will be forced to remove you. This can be a hassle since our mods are also playing the game and it is possible that other players or mobs may attack them while they are busy typing in commands.

Participation likelihood: Who am I kidding? I have nothing better to do on Saturday, I'll be there unless there is a power outage.
