Official ExtraLife 2013 Charity Event Announcement!
Hello and welcome, all Planet Minecraft members!
We're setting forth on the second year of a fun but important mission: to come together as a group of gamers in order to save the lives of children in need. We've registered with Extra-Life for this year's International Day of Play, a fundraiser for the Children's Miracle Hospitals Network.
This year's event takes place on November 2nd.
If you weren't with us for our event last year, Extra-Life is an organization that celebrates the social impact of gamers like us, and raises money for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Every year, the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, which are funded mostly through donations, tend to the medical needs of children who cannot afford proper medical care. Some may be battling cancer, others may have sustained traumatic injuries, but they all have one thing in common: they need our help.
Last year, the Planet Minecraft team raised just over $3500. Since then, our website has grown significantly, and we have made many new friends in the Minecraft community. This year, with the help of our new friends and our larger userbase, we're hoping to double our impact! To do this, we will need your help.
Last year's final numbers.
On November 2nd, 2013, we will be hosting a server and livestreaming a 25 hour gaming marathon, alongside thousands of other teams and groups. This year's International Day of Play just so happens to fall on the first day on Minecon, where several of our team will be present to help spread the message. Whether you will be attending Minecon or joining us online, we would sincerely appreciate your support!
As we work out the details of the event, we are seeking any and all contributions to make this all happen. If you are able, please consider making a donation towards the goals of our team members on our team fundraiser page.
All donations are collected securely by Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and tax receipts are available directly through the charity page.
If you are interested in joining us for the livestream or coordinating to run an event on your own server as a partner, let us know! We're also looking for some help working on builds for the event, and we’d be happy to work together!

really white-list you said it was public
1
lol no we never said that. It says it was supposed to be whitelisted right in the first post!
We had some SIGNIFICANT technical difficulties, with every server we put up being DDOS'd. Those of you who donated for whitelist, we are currently planning something special for you coming up soon. Can't reveal details yet, because we haven't worked them all out. Give us a bit of time, we WILL make it up.
In the meantime... anyone recognize any of these guys?

You mentioned you are interested in players who own/host Minecraft servers and can do livestreams. I fulfill both of these, what would I be needed for?
1
IP, etc, is generally released to the people who will be permitted to participate on the server (those that donated $10 or more to the Extra Life Charity and are on the whitelist) the day before the event. (Today.)
1
how/where/when do we get that?
1
IP?
1
After reading the terms and conditions it says to participate I must be 18+ which I'm not, are there still any ways I could help?
1
Can I be included in this charity event?
It sounds like it'd be fun to participate in not only for the charity but just in general.
I have a server which I will use to support this event in any ways I can it's 60 player slots and has many different activities including pvp, minigames, survival, creative etc, you can see my server by going to my profile.
Also I could stream and have some friends who will stream/post youtube video's to help as well.

any update on what time the event starts?

OMG! Guess who else is going to be there?
Here's a hint: His name starts with D and ends with Y and it rhymes with Doughty.
Also, he just posted this reply.
Seriously though, I didn't realize ChimeySwift was somewhat famous...

Yesterday, the special hats I made to raffle off were sent to Cipher_Punk... hopefully HE can find his camera to take pictures for all you lovely people to see! So yes, they are done, yes, everyone who donates will get in on the raffle, and there is a second hat that will be going up for auction at Minecon in Florida!
So get those donations in so you can have a chance at winning a creeperCarole-handcrafted, one-of-a-kind Minecraft hat!!!
