Spleef

Spleef is a sport within Minecraft in which the goal is to be the last player standing.

Objective
Spleef usually takes place in an arena or stadium. In the stadium, there is a series of blocks that form a flat surface, usually several suspended blocks in the air. Two or more players in the stadium choose their positions on the slab of blocks, and after a count down, begin the game.

The goal is to destroy blocks near the player to cause them to fall, while avoiding suffering that fate. Creating blocks during the playing of Spleef is not usually allowed. The time spleef matches take depends on the size of the stadium.

Origins
The rules for the game were created around the time multiplayer was added to Minecraft by vdgmprgrmr. On 22 June, it was unwittingly resurrected (and named) by Greenslimy, Pentaclam, and Maulrus. Its name is a pun on the term grief, and was changed just to differentiate it from actual griefing.



Rules
Spleef has several rules in order to maintain fairness and balance. Here is the complete list.


 * No creating blocks between the game's start and end


 * Do not delete or create blocks after you have lost


 * The losers must replace the blocks that were deleted during the game (OPTIONAL)

How To Make One

 * Find a fairly large slice of land that you want the players to play in


 * Build the edges of the stadium or arena with indestructible blocks (if possible)


 * Fill the inside with a destructible type of block known as a "Spleef Block" (the block type that players will delete)


 * Take away a large chunk of area under the Spleef Blocks and cover the lining with the type of block you used for the outside


 * Make stairs leading back up to the outside of the arena with any type of blocks


 * Create anything else that makes the stadium stand out. For example, the original arena used under the name of Spleef on Maulrus's baby wat league utilizes a system where, once inside the arena itself, players can not exit except by using the stairs under in the pit underneath. This helps to prevent cheating in the middle of a match.
