I'm not taking charge of this one. If there's going to be an anniversary bash, now is the time for someone to speak up.

I can volunteer to compile the level lists if no one else will. If there doesn't seem to be any other suitable host available, I can try to ask DanZeal to arrange a server.

Do it.

So ... if this bash were to happen, when would it be exactly?

How about the weekend of April 13-14? I can host, although I can't guarantee no accidental downtime.

I also think april 13-14 is a good idea. Until wednesday i will be very busy, but if there is any help needed after feel free to ask me, although im not sure if there is anything i can do. I was also thinking about hosting some ground force during the bash, not sure if people want this though

Since this year had only a very few battle levels, I decided to go for a more classics kind of list for battle. So the list is mostly old stuff, but I included new levels as #5, #10, #15 and #20 on the list(2 of them were released before AB14, but were not included in it.)

Battle:

01 - Officials VS Competitors by EvilMike
02 - Ain Mosni by ShadowGpW
03 - The Warden Woods by Cooba
04 - A Victorian-Urban by Birdie
05 - Ascension by Superjazz
06 - Carrotus Squash by martin aka partydude
07 - Relics of Minoria's Temple by Past of Leveldesign
08 - The Chasm by Blackraptor
09 - Dethroned by BlurredD
10 - 0 by Snooze
11 - Rainy Rain Forest by Splash
12 - Cannon Calamity by Scizor CT
13 - Daring Rebels by Hitch
14 - Sandstone Ruins by Quickz
15 - Nuostabus Pobudis by Loon
16 - SandStrand O' Hazes by spy
17 - A lighty X-Mas Lava Version by Dx
18 - Enter The Chaos by FireSworD
19 - Apocalyptic End by BlurredD
20 - Sodan Valtakunta by Snooze

With CTF-list I decided to go kind of 50:50. I guess it seems clear enough what is new/old. I did not only put in "classics" here, but also levels that I specifically wanted to give some more attention, which people hadn't already played a 100 times in JDC Events.

CTF:

01 - Dusk v3 by Ragnarok
02 - WHANTIL by Lark
03 - Underrated Paradise by Sir Ementaler
04 - Religion by CelL
05 - Mansion Crown by Snooze
06 - Turbo-Shock Star Cruiser CTF by BlurredD
07 - Rat Race by Loon
08 - Happy Castle by stripe, Fquist and Bobby aka Dizzy
09 - Battleship's Reactor by BattleSpaz
10 - Helldome by EvilMike
11 - Starlit - CTF by Plumbe
12 - Chemical Gases by FawFuL
13 - Overgrown Backyard by Snooze
14 - Industrial Intersect by DarkSonic
15 - MOTILAND by moti
16 - Demon Rampart by P4ul
17 - Khopesh by Rabid Rabb
18 - Extraterrestials by Sacrush
19 - Crystalline - CTF by Plumbe
20 - City of the Sn00zE v2.0 - by PurpleJazz

And finally, DZ is willing to give us a special server in use for the bash. I assume I will set it up and running on Friday the 12th, somewhere in the evening. Then will switch the list on Sunday morning, and run it possibly on Monday too, but I won't be able to monitor the server myself that much on Monday especially, I think.

And if there are any more levels to be released next week, they should be done before Friday evening in order to make it in the bash.

kudos for organizing this!

As much as I second this:

I have to say that's a rather bland Battle list. I hope people finish some new stuff real fast.

Officials vs Competitors should be replaced with the OvC 20 edition, which then allows you to take down Warden Woods and use a better EM level (olcbat03 is a very obvious candidate) instead.

A limit of one level per maker per list would be good too, since as much as I like blur's and Snooze's levels they don't need special treatment.

Big thanks for organising this though, and shame on me for not doing anything

I'm always up for some ground force

I was hoping that there would be more new levels after the release of the JJ2+. There is still time but it probably won't be enough. I haven't been that active lately so I have to say there are a few new levels on that list that I don't even know

Experimenting.

Add Apple Land and it's all good

Im making a new battle level so you'd rather probably use it.

Battle starts with officials vs competitors #20 exactly like last year?.. pretty confusing to have 2 bash packs in a row with the same starting level. same goes for apocalyptic end @ 20 like bash9, but that's less of a problem.

Whoops. I really forgot about that starter. I meant to pay tribute to the AB5-list more like originally, but cause of the remake I will consider that order again. The last level pays tribute to AB9 yes, and it fits that place quite nicely by it's name imo.

Two more suggestions:

hellwarp is (an edit of) a better and not as overused Shadow level, and it would be nice to have at least one AngelScript level in the bunch. Then again, forcing everybody to go plus only could be a bad idea, and it could go against the "one level per author" limit...

Frontier Falls is better than Chemical Gases, too.

01 - Nuostabus Pobudis by Loon
02 - Ain Mosni by ShadowGpW
03 - _________ by EvilMike
04 - A Victorian-Urban by Birdie
05 - Ascension by Superjazz
06 - Carrotus Squash by martin aka partydude
07 - Relics of Minoria's Temple by Past of Leveldesign
08 - Officials vs. Competitors #20 by Cooba
09 - Trembling Tundra by Ragnarok
10 - The Chasm by Blackraptor
11 - Rainy Rain Forest by Splash
12 - Cannon Calamity by Scizor CT
13 - Combustion by Lark
14 - Sandstone Ruins by Quickz
15 - Daring Rebels by Hitch
16 - SandStrand O' Hazes by spy
17 - Sodan Valtakunta by Snooze
18 - A lighty X-Mas Lava Version by Dx
19 - Enter The Chaos by FireSworD
20 - Apocalyptic End by BlurredD

I will try to upload my level today or tomorrow so if it's good enough it would be nice if I got it in the Bash

I decided we should try to keep the bash playable to anyone. I did consider the option to make the bash plus-only to get in levels like hellwarp, or DS' latest level with a small script. They would have been a fun addition. However I thought we should not force the oldies to pay extra effort to be able to play only due to a few levels. So unfortunately I say no to plus-only this time. As well I requested DS to make his level available without a script file too:

BTL:

17 - Sinister Setting by DarkSonic
18 - Sodan Valtakunta(or a newer upcoming level) by Snooze

CTF:

12 - Frontier Falls by FawFuL

Probably for the best.

Also pending on a new level by FawFuL and Battleship's Reactor, because of it's NoClip-tubes.

Do you think you can be any more specific than this? In particular, what people think of as the "evening" can vary a lot. Also what timezone are you using?

Yes, Violet.

The server is aimed to start tomorrow at 18 CET, which is a bit less than 26 hours from now on. My timezone is EET, so I should be just nicely able to run it at 19 my time. The Bash will start with the battle list traditionally, and will switch to the CTF one, on Saturday night, at some yet undefined time.

Btw, personal request but if you do use a Dx level:

Use this. It's pretty fun.

I have to say, lots of apocalyptic/destruction themed levels there (Apocalyptic 'End' is the last on the battle list too), hence anniversary bash. No problem!

[22:54:08] *** sŔlÄmĂnDčR DM's killing spree was ended by Pyromanus[GpW]!

OMFG totally missed the AB15....

But however I feel honored that one of my levels got featured in this year's pack. I should finish some of my levels some day. Still have an unfinished level pack on the go.

Let me a question. How long still online the Bash server?

For now the server might still run a few days if people seem interested in playing there. At the point when people are no longer playing there much, it will close. Will probably switch back to battle list for a change, soon.

Thanks the information Vivando.

The server is now officially closed. This year's bash was a fun experience just like the others before. I have to admit that I expected/wished for a bit more of people attending in bash at once, but still we had ~20 players at most for sometimes, which was a bunch of fun. I hope you people enjoyed too. Here's a pwn screenshot from a "bonus level":

Thanks for putting Best CTF Party Good Luck on, best bash organizer ever

Love your taste! I requested that level for bonus rounds several times during JDC21 but only few players cared. In the end it always became another regular level unworthy for a 'bonus' round.

Too bad I wasn't there when Bash ended.

Oh man I missed the whole bash. No problem I will be there the next bash I promise.

Hey old mate, thanks for mentioning my name.
I'm still alive, but idle.
Great to see that there is still a community here.
It was a great time back then.

Wow, nice to see you check in here Aiko!

I remember you from online games, the JazzED tool, and your german JJ2 fanpage.
