Hi everyone, Groovy here. This Saturday, April 23rd, I'd like to invite you to play my newest mini-game, Splat! After a few months of grueling (but hopefully fun) events I thought we could tone it down a bit and have some unadulterated fun! The game is simple, fall from the build height limit to bedrock and stop your fall with a bucket of water. Compete head to head, the person to survive moves on to the next round. If people get too good at the game, I have a surprise built into the game to spice it up. Normal event prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers. The game is located in my gaming district, just north of Central, the structure is hard to miss. Hope to see you all there, at the start of Events Night!

Offbrand Neo's second contest at Levansk wrapped up a few days ago, and we now have the results!

First place: AlexTheTrain
Second place: SaneTezz
Third place: Doctacosa

Congratulations all! You can see a few screenshots on the contest results page.

PT's B&B is now open! Peter Cottontail and Thumper have decided to settle down and end their pirate lifestyle. With the children growing up, there is one last game of hide-and-seek they want to play.

Combining the previous years, a scavenger hunt and a maze-like cave system awaits you. Finding the children (eggs) is a priority, then finding Peter Cottontail comes after! Peter is waiting for you with your 2022 Easter Basket in the cave somewhere. But be careful, there are troublesome carrots that Thumper is trying to exterminate and use for baking. Bringing Thumper or Peter Cottontail (receptionist) these carrots will lead to some nifty rewards.

You can obtain your 2022 Easter Basket starting on 9 April 2022 at 9pm EST until 17 April 2022 ending at 9pm EST. Afterwards, Peter Cottontail will return to the reception desk until Easter returns next year where he will be overjoyed to hand out the previous Easter Baskets again!

Visit the Creeper Citadel and return to Peter Cottontail's Residence. The island is located on the right of Moosemart. Inside, you will find a new button that leads to Easter Island, where your first clue is waiting.

Did you miss out on the 2021 Easter Basket? What about the 2020 Easter Basket? Find Peter Cottontail in the caves to get one for 1 Merit Voucher!

As usual, the Merit Points for the latest Kenorland challenge were handed out on the first day of the month. Our top three target chasers were forming a tight pack at the top of the leaderboard!

Kenorland: Death Seeker!

We're introducing this month in Kenorland a brand new challenge: Death Seeker!

We're embracing a staple of the Creeper's Lab - countless player deaths - and turning them into a challenge! The goal of this world is to try and score as many different death messages as possible within the month. This game can be very varied in how it tells us about fallen players; likewise, you'll have to be creative to trigger as many messages as possible!

Getting the same death message from different mobs will not count; likewise, deaths from named mobs will all count as the same.

Merit Points will be awarded in the same model as Race Away: the player with the highest score will get 30 points, second place 29, and so on until the 30th player with 1 point.

Science

Sæhrímnir and the Predatory Teddy Bear are back in the Lodge! Save the children, collect the candy, and trade in the Scrap Shards!

New Horsemen Quests are also available for all five of the Four Horsemen. After you hand in the requested materials or items, you can easily warn the Horsemen about your drop: call @famine, @conquest, @war, @death and @frank to validate your items! See the Horseman Points Guide for an in-depth look at the quests, points, and how to cash them in.

If you're interested in becoming a Horsemen Acolyte, you need to submit an application every month to gather your tokens! To do so, visit the Horsemen island at the Creeper Citadel. Voting and running events are ways you can gain tokens.

New this month, you can also tag @creeperslab on social media to earn Acolyte tokens! Spreading the good word on us and getting rewarded for it, what more could you ask for!

Guilds

As with every new month, the guilds have new targets. You have until the end of this month to complete them and claim your tokens! The Specialist Tasks are the exception: they have to be completed in Gondwana, but they never reset, so you can take your time.

Don't forget about the suggestion boxes in Gondwana's Masters Guildhall! You can submit your proposal for future targets, by placing either a sample block, item or a named piece of paper.

If you need a starting guide for the guilds, Twixxi has you covered. Start in Laurasia, then work your way up!

If you need details on any of these, the wiki page about the Monthly Challenges is updated as soon as each of these is ready at the beginning of the month!

UPDATE: April Fools. :-p

Taking another step for the Interordi network, I'm happy to introduce something completely new: the collection of Interordi NFTs!

For those still trying to grasp what Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are, think of them as a certificate of authenticity - you don't acquire a unique copy of a JPG, PNG or whatever. Rather, you get the unique proof that you own that media, with that proof living in the blockchain. This ensures its security thanks to a non-centralized space, removing the risk of fraud.

The Interordi collection was inspired by the Pop Art movement, with a modern touch of minimalism, giving it a strong and bold look.

You can find this range of NFTs on OpenSea, the world's largest platform for NFT trading. These are backed by the Polygon platform on the Ethereum blockchain. Each NFT is available for 0.003 ETH, which is worth about $10 USD at the current exchange rate.

22 of these have been made available, one for each of Interordi's 22 completed years on the Internet. This is another milestone in our history, with many more steps to come!

You will need a cryptocurrency wallet to complete a purchase. If you need more information on the topic, you can check this article on OpenSea.

Remember, only a few of these are up for grabs, and they will be available only for a limited time, so don't miss your chance!
