So I took the overwhelming abundance of pigmen my portal farm produces and decided to make an event out of it......
above my gold farm i created this spooky and dangerous castle encased in a shell of netherack

and with the flip of a lever i can continuously fill it with zombie pigmen ;D
but, while a castle full with an army of pigmen is awesome, it's not quite an event......
so for the event I've decided to stick a chest at the top of this castle with a prize book, then I'm going to flood the castle with pigmen, piss one off, and see who can make it to the top. :o
the person who successfully returns the prize book to me wins.

2 ) on that note, the only items you can carry are a sword, one set of armor ( nothing can be enchanted, for fairness ) and some form of food that doesn't give buffs.
3 ) since you can only carry a sword and armor and food this means you CANNOT use enderpearls, potions or other benificial items.
4 ) you also cannot abuse commands to give yourself an advantage, ie: using /home to heal and port back.
5 ) Any form of glitching to gain an advantage is prohibited.
6 ) No Teams, the winner is not required to share his/her winnings regardless of any deals they may make. It's meant to be a free for all.

Disclaimer:
This is a dangerous event and chances are you will die at least once if not multiple times. By participating in this event you agree to hold no one accountable but yourself for any death, lost items, experience or money.
Notes:
1 )It takes about 15 mins to spawn the necessary pigmen and allow them to spread throughout the castle so show up on time and be prepared to spend about 30 mins on the event depending on how long claiming the book takes.
2 ) I'll try to provide iron swords and iron armor to people re-spawning after death while supplies last.
3 ) Please look to this thread for updates
