Old Preparation Topic 1

[Perihelion]

I don't care what's in the bases. I guess I'd vote for a couple bed and startup chests with torches and stone tools and stuff.

Also, I wanna be on the white wolves team. It's funny because White Wolf is the nWoD publisher and I play a lot of nWoD.

Results from last poll:

The team names are:

White Wolves of the Tundra
&
Purple Pigmen of the Palisades

New poll is up!

Im liking this :shades:

You definitely seem to be putting a lot of work into this, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it turns out! I can't run Minecraft anywhere near as well as I'd like to be able to, but if there was an official HBGames server I would definitely find the will to look past my computer's crappy performance and spend some time with the HBros. :biggrin:

 

[Dr. Funk]

Go Purple Pigmen!

 

[Dr. Funk]

Also random question, what would happen if say, 15 people joined the Purple Pigmen Team while only 5 joined the White Wolves. Would it just stay like that or would you take executive action and even out the teams?

Personally I think the teams should be kept at about equal manpower, to make it fair/most entertaining.

 

[glorious caesar]

i like how the team names are reminiscent of the team names in Legends of the Hidden Temple :kame:

 

[Tuna]

I wonder... What if some people decided to just build and remain neutral of the teams? Ethnocentrism, anyone? :biggrin:

Yeah I will ADMINISTR8 and break the shit out you bitches.

I'll have people pick what team they'd like most AT FIRST but then run a lottery to divvy them up if there is a number imbalance.

If someone REALLY REALLY >>>>NEVER<<<< wants to PvP, I will make them a part of the GREY "team". This is the "team" that I will be on. They have no special protections from PvP people, if they go into PvP areas (this is to keep PvP bases safe from griefing done by people who can't be harmed).

However, there WILL be a neutral LAND, where creative players can go to build and do w/e they like, free of the PvP area. There will be an express railway that ferries you off to it, from the main city (where you 1st spawn). So as long as you never venture AROUND the city on the PvP continent, you will be safe.

I should note that there will be 2 continents: a PvP continent, and a Creative continent. All players are allowed to go to whatever land they wish at any time -- but note again that players on the GREY team are discouraged from going around on the PvP continent outside of the city, b/c both PvP teams will be allowed to murder them mercilessly.

I should note: Administrators are incincible! You can't kill me :P
But, as it is my server, my only goal is to keep ya'll having fun. Also I MAY grief once in a long while when no one's looking, if one team is doing stupid better than the other :P (to balance, of course!)

 

[Dr. Funk]

just out of curiosity, roughly how big are these continents?

 

[Perihelion]

What if we generate map beyond the continents? Will that be PvP or creative? I really think PvP should be limited to one area.

I agree with this one.

im going to make the PvP continent pretty god damn fuckhuge. like really big. i'll fit in a wide desert and a snowy area and a forested area all on the same continent.
my goal is that the main city will occupy the center, and you will have to travel for a preeeettttyyy long time to get to one base or the other, on either side.

the creative area will occupy the rest of the world.

yes
i'll work in a similar continent for the creative area, and then w/e else outside of the PvP continent will be non-PvP.

i figured this would be the simplest for me to monitor.

in the end i maaaayyy make it so that there are 2 diff worlds. i wanted to avoid this but it all depends on if i can get the plugins to work correctly at server start.

 

[LiquidMetal91]

Erm.. i've might have read over it..
But are all blocks to be collected legit (or bought from the store's)

Just so i know for sure...
Cause this will alter the way i mine 'n stuff

Also, i've only seen 2 people with team names in their sigs.
Me and Dr. Funk...
Ya'll should show your team spirit :cute:

#3...
Are collected resources gained from the creative allowed on the PvP continent?
That would be a troubling fact

 

[Perihelion]

Hey Ven, can I request that any giant forests be on the creative continent rather than the PvP continent? I really wanna make a sweet-ass tree village or something.

 

[Venetia]

i figured lol :P

there will def be giant trees. there may even be 1 or 3 on the PvP continent, too.

also:

need names for these places:

name for the main city,
name of pvp continent,
name for world

(this could end up in the next poll)

note:
main city is in the desert. architecture is mostly comprised of sandstone/lapis lazuli/wood/glow stone. the walls are high and the castle in the middle is somewhat arabic.

 

[bacon]

like i said we could make the PVP content where all of the secret dungeons are and more minerals spawn~

I am going to ask to join the white wolves because the coral cows got crushed ;-;

 

[Sgt. Cookie]

name for the main city:
The HuB (Spelt like that)

So yeah, I think this fits essentially everything you guys wanted
*Combination of Survival and Adventure
*Varied Terrain
*Challenge (lots of it)
*Team Dynamic
*Competition and destruction (in the form of being able to trigger TNT deposits on the opposite team's side) but not outright PVP
*plenty of cool places to build stuff creatively
*fits the prospected number of people perfectly; about 4-8 at a time

Did I mention its awesome?

 

[Venetia]

well I want to accomodate 15-20 people at a time,
have no inclination towards making anything crazy hard,
and am custom-dev'ing the worlds.

but they have a number of neat MCSchematics that could be pretty damn useful, so thanks! I can still use this ...
