The applications for gym leaders are coming in at a decent pace. I'm going to put all the info in a new page so we don't pollute the main page of the blog with all this pokemon.
Per the chat I'm holding a vote for what type of gym I should run. I am to bais toward certain types. For sure at this moment flying, water, fire, ground, poison are applied for and taken so don't vote for one of those.
Again I'll have all the relevant info in an organized manner soon.

Talk has been circulating about a Vinecraft pokemon league. If this is something you'd be interested in feel free to let me know or e-mail vinecraft@gmail.com with your ideas. Since not everyone has a Nintendo DS we will be playing on pokemon lab. http://trac.poke-lab.com/
The original idea was to have the streamers be the gyms and the elite four but since there is no guarantee that any of the streamers will be any good I am taking apps for the gyms. Again, email the vinecraft email account, tell me your chat handle and what TYPE of gym you'd want to play as. People applying for the same element may have to fight over who gets the seat for the first season.
The league will divided up into seasons so more than just one person will have the opportunity to be gym leaders. How the gym leaders will be changed out will also likely be settled by battle.
A challenger will have to defeat all gym leaders (best 2 of 3) and Then the elite four. They can attempt gyms as many times as they want. Elite four must be completed in order without loss. The elite four is single elimination so one loss and your back to the start but only takes one win to fight next in line. If you possess all badges and beat elite four you will be crowned the League Champion. When the next person beats elite four they will then have to beat The League Champion. If all 5 battles are won in order without loss they become the new champion.
Gym leaders and challengers will have register teams which they cannot change untill the season is over or they forfeit all their badges. More info on this will be announced later.
Rules as of now are:
1. no uber tier pokemon (reference this: http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/)
2. Species clause (Only one of any species of pokemon)
3. Sleep Clause (Only one pokemon may be asleep at one time, the game automatically makes other attempt fail)
4. Freeze Clause (Same as Sleep but with frozen solid effect)
5. Evasion clause (Can't use any item/move that raises evasion)
6. Soul dew clause (can't use soul dew)
7. OHKO clause (No moves like fissure etc...)
Feel free to practice up while the rules are being hammered out. IF glueguy is on the server you can ask him to tp you to the Pokemon world in our smp. It isn't anything fantastic but talk is circulating about building an entire RP pokemon world complete with gyms.

Vinecraft
Vinecraft: More than minecraft.
For now the stream list has been largely abolished. Unless proven I need to, at this point in time I won't have a list of games that are allowed and not allowed to be played. This is a creative stream first and foremost. What is allowed to be streamed is going to be a bit open for interpretation. Which means I'm going to be a bit lenient.
What will be streamed? Minecraft for one. Crazy buildings in dorf fort, level making, game creating, song remixing, drawing. Pretty much what we have been doing but if someone comes up with a great idea and it fits right in with our creative themed stream then great, load it up.
Try not to make the stretch too far though, making characters in an mmo isn't quite considered a quality design stream.
Any questions? Ideas? Suggestions? Have a great idea for a game to stream but might be a bit borderline? Vinecraft@gmail.com

The vinebro's server is going to be free to play from this point foreward (Or at least as long as I'm admin) We are going to run the server entirely off voluntary donations. I will be posting a new donation link in the near future but we have already received enough generous donations that the server is fine for a while.

A new age has begun
I'm sure you have heard by now that Adventure has stepped down as an admin for Vinecraft. I am very sorry to see it come down to this and will sorely miss him. Since Adventure was in large running the whole site, on the announcement that he was stepping down, there have been rumors that Vinecraft will be shutting down. I assure you that as far as I'm concerned this is not the case. I will be working very hard over the next few weeks overhauling Vinecraft and doing my best to do what is best for the stream as a site and a community of like minded gamers and friends.
If you have any suggestions, comments, or concerns the proper avenue to submit them is my personal email. Jzehfus@gmail.com
