I like Obsi's Idea but would take it one step further.
Super Fun Splody* Night!
Full creative - we give people time to rig their creations with all the TNT and destructive devices their hearts desire, then a tour of the server, admire the creations and from a nice vantage point, watch the creator reduce it to rubble....then repeat at the next venue.
Pros:
# A sense of tradition - we did this on one of the very first worlds
# Community - we build in the largest part alone - show off in real time what you have built with those who share your world
# Overdose of splody*ness**
# Artistic....maybe - who knows what strange patterns may reveal themselves in the majesty of destruction?
# Fun. A simple night of reckless joy with no consequences...wake in the morning, log on and it will all seem like a chaotic noisy dream!
Cons:
(this space left intentionally blank)
*Splody = Explosion abundant - TM Obsi - used with out permission.
**Splodyness = Inherently Splody - eg "That giant stack of TNT just oozes Splodyness"
or
Retro Vintage Uber Times!
Revert the server to a new world spawn...running on an Alpha release!
Play MineCraft like your Nana played it! (or may have if your Nana played Mincecraft a couple of years ago)
Pros:
#Sweet nostalgia - "Hey! remember when you couldnt do anything interesting? this is just like that!)
#Interesting for those who never played alpha
Cons:
#Sour nostalgia - "Hey! remember when you couldnt do anything interesting? this is just like that!)
Hard mode would also not be bad - however after trying it on the Hoggcraft map....just didnt seem that hard?
ahh - the possibilities!
