My Minecraft
Minecraft. Most of you will have heard of the revolutionary sandbox game with over fifteen million players on the PC/MAC, ten million on X-box 360 and several million Pocket Edition (for phones, tablets and music players) that is Minecraft. I have Minecraft on my laptop, and my username is 'monicaicecream'. Odd, I know, but there is a reason, which I am unwilling to share. Anyway, I would highly recommend getting Minecraft to anyone who doesn't already have it. It's incredibly enjoyable, and, so says the Minecraft parody song 'Thank You', it is 'a game where nobody plays the same'. I play on several Minecraft servers, and I specifically enjoy Arkham Network's prison and SkyWars, a Camp Half-Blood server based on the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan (details can be found at: http://ambrosiapie.weebly.com) and a Camp Jupiter server (also Rick Riordan), which is still exclusively for Owners and Co-Owners. On the latter two, I am an Admin, although on the Camp Half-Blood server the owners (Matthew, Christian, Aidan, Zach and Alistair (Alistair and Matthew are in the Author's Guild, if you hadn't made the connection)) say I'm not.
Ambrosia Pie camp half-blood server
First of all, a bit about the Percy Jackson series.
The series follows the adventures of an American boy who is a son of the Greek God of the Sea, Poseidon. His mission is, along with his best friends (Annabeth Chase, a daughter of the Goddess Athena, and a satyr named Grover Underwood), to defeat the rogue demigod Luke and the titans, in particular their leader, Kronos.
The books are based mainly at Camp Half-Blood, a fictional camp for the children of the gods on Long Island, New York. There are cabins for each of the gods' children which represents the god's power e.g. the Poseidon cabin is relatively small and windswept, with a saltwater fountain opposite the door and a direct view of the ocean.
The Server
I am unable to divulge the server's IP, however I can tell you a bit about it.
I am rather sad to say that the original server world was deleted; however a new one has been set up! Of the 15 cabins currently built, I am extremely pleased to say that I have contributed to 10 of them in some way, and built four of them (Demeter (cabin 4), Hephaestus (cabin 9), Dionysus (Tommy's cabin; cabin 12) and Iris (cabin 14)) all by myself. I also only had a smidgen of help with Hades (cabin 13) and Athena (my own cabin; cabin 6).
The camp is built on a specially designed and built Minecraft world (courtesy of Zach). It has the same design, layout and features as the camp mentioned in the books: 2 rivers, the forest (where the game 'capture the flag' is played by the campers), the sloping valley sides, the fireworks beach, and even Thalia's tree, guarded by (the currently unbuilt) Peleus the Dragon. This server is great, and, although I cannot see it becoming available to everyone in the foreseeable future, I can definitely see it becoming an excellent Role-play Minecraft server, with a fun community and specialist builds.

So, this server is based on the magical world of Harry Potter!
