New server idea reborn

If the server does go back up and a new world is generated i have an old idea of Nixter's to bring into the question. I think we should not only start a survival server but also a "Faction server".

As long as Ive been looking through different servers i have noticed that i tended to like the ones with the thrill of death and unfortunate griefing. This keeps me interested and constantly striving, thus making me stay on the server longer. Now I'm not promoting a Grief pvp server but rather we use our new found love of safe guard as a tool (or finding the right mod for these things or whatever works)

Having factions or separate towns and kingdoms will allow us to have fun against each other in combat. As we have already seen many of our members actually like competition or "guilds" such as Dfett and Ovals corporations & Dfetts Assassins guild and my "Thieves guild" that never did anything. But if we give this idea a chance we can finally have these pointless competitors a reason to exist.

Of course there would have to be a safe zone and that would be the obvious spawn city ( of course spawn city would need a courthouse and treaty room). And since we all know people love to make their own cities and clutter the map with small pointless towns and villages we are able to pillage the fuck out of these villages and have fun and ruin peoples lives.

Now the whole point of this is to bring the server together yet farther, maybe start a civil war type deal where its 2 main sides against each other with a few smaller places under these. People have to literally strive to survive and group together to actually get anywhere. And griefing within the "faction will not be allowed if the proper mod exists and only the founder of the city can destroy others stuff if he chooses. Spawning items with the higher ranks would be a problem and i could easily see admins and mods getting power hungry and shitting on our faces or out building the others 10 times faster so i say on the survival ( or possibly make a separate portal that goes to a "PvP survival" world or "faction" world) the higher ranks have no powers such as spawning, w/e, and god mode ect. Seems fair to me so that its not a who can spawn the most shit first war and w/e everyones towns away type of deal and it doesnt matter if ur griefed its PvP get the fuck overit. This idea also doesnt mean the shit with creative world or survival, we can still have those so no butt hurt feelings guys.

I feel that this idea would attract new members and old members back to the server and restore this wonderful servers magnitude back to what it once was or even greater. I know that this would surely bring me back for good and i could see many of my friends at school joining for this reason.

But this is just an idea, tell me what you think.

Not a bad idea but I am worried about people taking it too seriously.

what do u mean?

I don't really know what I can add so I will just say this. I agree

I see how this could turn into a rage war but isnt that what is fun? I mean we all know and love one another and we have admins to keep people from getting to into it

voice your thoughts or opinions anyone can speak what theyd like to see happen on the new server

In my personal opinion, I think this would be a great idea and definitely worth trying out. It gives a new view on coming into this server, and it really would keep most of us on. I really like the idea of having two seperate areas against eachother, allowing both sides to create a fortress, and battle. Giving us builders a chance to create better builds, and the people not so great at builds the chance to have some PvP fun; keeping everyone entertained. I agree that some people WILL in fact take this too serious though. But, there's always someone that does. Even in our regular server...you know who you are. But yeah, all in all, I think this would be a really cool way to renew our server. -xMORTALVx

I mean its not just two sides but more of just likely to be a two way war cuz thats just how i see it turning out but thr can b multiple Factions.

there should be warps to a survival map and a warp to a creative map because im always going to want to build over survive and im sure some people will agree with me. i will play on the survival map just not as much as the creative one

If we did have a survival place and a creative place it could attract 2 sorts of player i have said this before people who like to do survive and do everything legit and people who like to build towers, houses etc

i also just thought of something terrible that i actually found a solution to. while sleeping at night thrs bound to be a vengeful person that will be bound to destroy another cities work. so i have an ide for this problem since most of us cant be on for hours straight. one is possibly that only admins can turn on the pvp war time. this should work since our admins are fair and honest. 2 is a plugin for pvp of somesort that someone would have to find (<-- this is my solution to any problem lol.) Possibly a plugin that sends a declaration of war to the towns "mayor or head" and only they can either allow war or decline war.

i already stated this its all in the posts above this

on a server that i visit sometimes they got 2 portals at the spawn, 1 to creative world and 1 to the survival.

But about creative, i think the flatland world would be good for pixelarts and awesome buildings. Only the slimes is a problem

This idea is great, and think the plugin towny link:http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/sec-fun-info-chat-tp-towny-advanced-v0-78-0-0-land-control-and-town-management-1597.25101/

has alot of these features, however it is hard to use so i guess it is better to just make a faction and expand the city as you gain power and recourses. a faction plugin would not be a problem, mabye we can find one that allows to turn off friendly fire within factions, so that going to war will be easier. i can say that i really love this idea and its very worth a try, but then i say we have a creative world and a survival pvp. however we need to have a reason for people to attack each other, now how do we do that? build our buildings in diamond? that would work but it seems stupid.

How about we are not allowed to lock chests? so looting will be a win situation, and maby a score system for killing other faction members? if we can find this we could maby get a K/D ratio situation going on?

il do some research o nthis and get back to u guys.

and a flat map is out of the question.

Here are some interseting plugins for you guys to look at:

display faction terretory on dynmap! how awesome is that?

Oh god, towny

as allways i am fit for fight, only one question, when? so i dont have to stay on form 11 - 4 just to find out when we are testing?

i have actually made the server now, but idk exactly what to do with permissions if i'll make new ones or keep the old ones.. hmm anyways i have started a faction

I'll make sure to get on a lot today then. And also, considering NFF's idea about looting chests, I think each Admin should head a faction, or at least the main ones, because their will be small factions and big. The main factions will have an Admin controlled leader, and the smaller ones having a player of their choosing to lead their fortress. If the leader dies during a War between each faction, we must surrender. So the Admin is sort of a king in chess. I think that'd make things interesting. Each faction must make a treasure room, anywhere within their fortress, so that the winners may have a reward. If it's possible, we need a spawn system that allows players to spawn in their fortress, it's important during battle so we stand a chance. These are just ideas I'm proposing. I'd apprectiate some feedback. -xMORTALVx

i follow u here davey boy but eventually everyone will just go back to one whole group. I dont support the whole surrender and join the winners faction, i just say u have to move and start from scratch or join the neutral spawn again or something around those lines. and to nff's comment maybe the winners just get all of that factions money or something but i do like where ur going. and i think towny is the plugin ive seen on other servers. But like i said and i did talk to dfett at school today about this idea. the admins will not, i repeat, will not have spawning abilities or of that sort besides nff himself because all of that majorly takes the fun out of survival. so building with diamonds is a bad idea cuz thats no fun really. And looting is fine, but taking the city over and burning/ destroying it is glorious but id like a lil payment for my efforts cuz what if u takeover a small faction that has no diamond. then u just look like the jerk who like to be a power hungry tyrant, which is fine

i have set mye self as builder for now so idk what to do about admins vs builders yet..
