Castle

The Battle for Newwind Castle is an event where players compete to hold the castle sheep for the longest, while the winning clan takes the castle until the next event. For every day held, the owner of the owning clan collects the loot of the day in the Loot chests. This can contain dragon eggs, ingredients, vanilla ores, and god items. They also collect a 5% commision given to them from all sharpening and reinforcing.

History
The castle is well-known for being released too early, and all changes that were ever made to it were released before being tested, resulting in it being full of bugs. The most famous bug is the one reported by MrMeeps on the start of August. Olly went to a holiday and wanted players to be able to enjoy castle, so he made /castle-start command that started castle when players wanted to. However, BenjiLove found out it was abusable and activated it a million times. This resulted in millions of sheep spawning and him getting infinite amount of Dragon Eggs and ingredients. He simply sat at the loot chests and collected the loot. Olly told him to burn it all, and he claims he did, although there are several proofs of him keeping thousands of gold blocks.

The first castle of Newwind was won by POI, a relatively strong clan at that time, and it was solo-ed by seanmts. He won by a chance, since the first model of castle determined winner based on who hit the sheep last. For the first castle was actually random, it wasn't announced that it's going to happen, it simply happened.

Strategy
For the castle times, do /castle.

Trying to activate elytras in castle or getting it before it starts when you are not in the clan will tp you out of the Castle.

There are 2 sheep in castle, the goal is to kill either of them (one is on the left side of castle, one is on the right in the basement). To do that, you first need to either:

Open the door. Get into the small room with cobwebs, called lever room and pull the lever, this will open the door leading into the sheep room.

Jump it. You can also jump into the sheep room by climbing the libraries to your right and jumping into the 2-high hole in the glass, although someone will probably be waiting there to kick you down. If you have a group of people, it is strongly advised that you let one of you pull the lever ( and defeat the people that might try to stop him from doing it) and the others rushing in and killing the sheep. The clan that has killed the sheep last time is called The Holding Clan. The holding clan gets points every second, depending on how long the event's been running so far:

 1/s during the first 10 minutes

 2/s between minute 10 and 20.

 3/s between minute 20 and 25.

4/s the last 5 minutes.

After 30 minutes, the clan with most points wins. They also become the holding clan until the next event, so that they can collect castle loot, change spawn banners, change the spawn color palette and collect 5% of all loot given to the Sharping Stone. It also makes them more reputable.

Monopolization
If a clan wins the battle a few times, the other clans usually give up, for it's probably too hard to defeat them. The natural mechanism of clans is that whenever one gets too strong, the other clans unite to defeat them. And if a single clan wins castle more than 5 times in a row, then the other clans realize they are too weak and stop trying. However, this usually makes the holding clan get decadent and fall, as for they have tons of free loot and they usually get too lazy, forget how to fight, or backstab each other for loot. There have been several major periods in which the castle was monopolized by one clan or alliance:

Strm

The first castle ever was won by POI, but after that there's been a series of wins by Strm. There was no one to face them, for POI was full of inactive people and no other clan was actually big enough at the moment, 25 people were in Strm.

Lust

Lust was the clan that ended the great period of Strm, for they stole a lot of players from Strm, and then defeated them in one of the greatest castles.Valk

Valk owned the castle during Autumn 2019, for no other clan really played much at that time.

pepe

Pepe alliance is probably the largest alliance ever on Newwind, after Old Strm. Therefore, it's easy for them to take castle, although the loot every one of them gets is small.

Burp

Burp held castle for 8 battles in Autumn 2019, because no one really tried to take it from them for long.

dess

dess clan, owned by Advisering, managed to hold castle for 11 times as of 10th of May, 2020.

Dess allied Strm and olly, owned by Stormire and vv101zeli, forming one of the largest alliances.

Balu

Owned by tomasoli2002, Balu monopolized Oath from the beggining till February 21 because some of its members such as tomasoli2002, RB2B2, Discidia, Spamclickisgay, Frozenconflict quit  but then came back in march of 2021 and owned Oath again.
