Can I please get a show of hands who would want in on this, so I can gauge interest? It was a lot of work last year, but as long as Mojang doesn't patch-bomb the project, I reckon I could get it going again this year.
The map... well, there'll definitely be a different strategy this year!
Just wanted to chime in and let you know, if you have not kept up on the patches, The Redstone Update should be out by Expo so I would suggest development of the map on the current Weekly Update build.
I've got two assistants and five players right now; and it sounds like a great big patch is set to drop late this month, so I'll wait to develop the full thing. I'm doing conceptual work for the map right now, otherwise.
Last year for the Icrontic LAN, @Myrmidon and others slaved away at making a custom Minecraft map that pitted multiple teams against one another in a "last team standing" competition. Every person started in the same waiting room, and was simultaneously ejected onto the surface where they could loot pre-placed chests for a chance at gear, run for cover, defend a slice of the battlefield, and fight other teams for glory.

I am up for helping you make a new map again Myrmidon if you wanted to do that. Command Blocks will make out job much easier, and allow up to do some way more interesting things with the map.
I hate to say it, gentlemens, but I have too many assistants this time around and would rather have more players. I'll grab @tiberiuslazarus and @cola as GMs for this one (as they were first, and I know they'll be at expo to help GM), unless of course they'd prefer to play this time. We'll start as soon as the redstone update drops - meanwhile, time to start reviewing the wiki and blacklisting materials again.
Nonetheless, thank you very much @d3k0y and @RahnalH102 - if either of the other two drop out, I'll grab you.

should still be valid
Server is up and has been slightly more active lately. Also more hunger games is a great plan and I didn't even see the last one.
Kind of.

I think this should be a component of your games. Conan optional.
