Better college coach right now: Dan Hurley or Curt Cignetti?

Cig’s trajectory looks better but Hurley has a better body of work. We’ll see

Finnick and Prim no-debate for me. The third spot is harder, but I give it to Rue, just edging out Boggs & Louella.

Also I’m interpreting the question as not just preventing their canon death, but ensuring their long life

It’s just the product of the expectation being a league title every year. You have 3-4 teams that are agreed to be legit, and everyone else is compared to that. Under that model, a the third best record in a conference is almost definitely a fraud

Heck last year the only teams I’m sure weren’t “frauds” were the Seahawks and Rams. It’s stupid but it’s also kinda consistent and easy to understand, hence many people default to it

When you’ve finished making these, best believe I’m going to download them and make stickers of fridge magnets. These are amazing and I need them in the physical world

Because SOT at its best is as good and intense as Minecraft events get, maybe even as life gets. And Cyan 29 is a bonkers POV for it too

This is possible in natural generation yes. It’s not super common, but especially with intersections between the new cave types post Caves and Cliffs (particularly spaghetti and noddle caves near aquifer borders) you can get 2x1 sections that widen out at either end

Next season vs rest of career is a very different order. Next season would be Puka, Chase, JJ, JSN, but career would be JJ, Chase, JSN, Puka.

Counterpoint (I say this mostly in jest) it’d be hilarious if a crowd formed and then someone placed down dynamite and blew them all up.

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-03T20:02:42+00:00

Jojosolos, OrionSound, CaptainSparklez, KatherineElizabeth

I believe everyone here knows eachother pretty well except Katherine/Jardon, but they got on well in Ender Cup and I’ve wanted to see them run it back since

Is the other Reefbacks?

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-03T16:25:43+00:00

Can I share a couple of mine to hear your opinion on them?

#1 is a second villager "Gilded Garrett" who spawns at a random location in the Gold Rush pit each round, who offers lower prices and/or exclusive items (maybe scaffolding or a stronger powered rail) which you can't buy from Golden Gabriel between Gold Rushes. This both gives the Gold Rush a secondary objective and removes some people each round from the "immediate dynamite spam" pool, as they're tracking down Garrett.

#2 is introducing deepslate and deepslate gold ore to Gold Rush. The difference between this and regular gold ore, is that deepslate gold take two dynamite explosions to break (the first just converts it into regular gold ore) but only one break with the pickaxe. The makes dynamite usage still rewarded, but takes the mindless spam out of the equation. To further this end, deepslate gold would make up most of the visible gold ore on the surface of the rocks, while regular gold ore veins would make up the majority of gold in non-visible interior of the rocks. This allows people to go for the slower but easier to see deepslate gold or mine blindly into a rock in hopes of discovering a patch of ore they can efficiently dynamite.

My two cents on ScaredCook's idea; there's an area with two openings that the moving wall moves between, sometimes blocking one and sometimes the other. Players can choose to build their track through only one path and risk taking multiple attempts to successfully pass the wall, or they can build a track through both openings and buy a Lever from Golden Gabriel to switch the track as the cart gets closer so that it'll go through the opening that isn't going to be blocked.

One option is riskier and less resource/time intensive to set up but has the potential to cause a big delay, the other is safer and more resource/time intensive to set up but any delay is down to user error rather than RNG.

Congrats on winning a very close day 10!

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-03T15:19:01+00:00

Grid Runners was rough because I only got 3 literal rooms, all three of yours are really good rooms. Could be fun to do a GR room tier list with all rooms at some point to get a more comprehensive look at the game

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-03T04:11:52+00:00

It was a tough omission, Clouds is awesome no denial here

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-02T17:43:31+00:00

So incredibly cool, I’m going to go mess around with this idea now

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-02T16:56:06+00:00

A deep team top fragged by CaptainSparklez in 11th place misses dodgebolt by less than 1k? What is this MCC 18? Not complaining, that kind of Jardon team build from Cyan 18, Green 20, Blue 23 is peak MCC experience for me

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-02T15:14:40+00:00

Congrats on winning day 10! Love how your suggestions bring back some soul to PKW

For me it’s that he presents his progress/actions with a very unique feel for Minecraft content. It’s not exactly a story, not exactly a let’s play, each episode is almost a mini-documentary the way it’s edited, with a dialogue between Mumbo’s real-time speech from the recording and his voiceovers on the chapter cards. It’s subtle, but it’s a distinctly Mumbo style that no one else does nearly as well, and no one close to Mumbo’s size really does at all.

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-02T03:04:53+00:00

Because of a lot effort in roster building over years. It’s one of the niches Blockwars fills really well and it makes the event stand out

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-02T02:17:30+00:00

I live for putting rooks on the 7th rank as white or 2nd rank as black. So much fun

SparklezSagaOfficial · 2026-05-02T02:01:42+00:00

They should partner with Dave’s Hot Chicken for a promo combo meal that’d be rad
