With 2 and a half hours left in the month, we cleared the 1k vote mark to reach 1,014 votes! Thank you to everyone who worked to reach this!
As I've said, we were going to finish this month before complying with Mojang's view of votes as hard currency. Trophies should be distributed by a fancy new automatic process in 10 hours or so, along with the lobby podiums. All prize money has been distributed.

So is this the end of voting?
No, of course not!
This marks the end of our old reward system, and the beginning of a brand new one! We've only had a few days of preparation, so things will be rough around the edges for a while,...

With that, we're caught up on voting! 854 votes for July, not too bad.

The podiums on our lobby automatically update, so they currently reflect these top voters. Prize money has also been handed out.
We're working on a new way to distribute top voter trophies through /vtr claim rewards, so those have not yet been distributed.

With 919 total votes, June wasn't too bad! We didn't have many high-capacity voters, just a lot of players voting (62 of them). Now if we could just get them online at the same time....

Next up: July!

So, I heard you where masochistic. I heard you that you wanted to play something harder than FTB Infinity Hard Mode. I heard that sometimes you cut yourself to feel alive. I heard that you think Gregorious is the best game designer of all time.

If I'm still describing you, click below and enjoy the pain!

No modifications to the mod pack other than make sure you manually select the version, don't just go with "recommended". The pack should be the 2nd in the list of the 3rd party packs in the launcheer. Make sure to read the thread above, particularly the section about Recommended JVM Args.

Thanks to Arch for getting this setup. Thanks to Erik who will inevitably fix the status on the homepage.
