If I get to be team captain, I think I would like to reserve lot 14 for when the server starts, as that looks to be the best option for me.

So, when is this server coming online? I've been waiting for it for AGES. If it takes too long, I might get bored and start working on a plugin to make a new realm or something. Though, to be fair, the ideas I have for said realm would be epic. (Realm meaning The Overworld, The Nether, The End, and The ???. I have a name for it, but that would just give it away. Suffice to say, it would be epic, and I could make it a bukkit plugin to boot)

It might be handy if you give us a small list of things you still need to do before it goes online, Ven. It'll give us an etimate of how long we must wait on this epic project

Well, according to the Bukkit twitter, they hope to get an RB out before the end of the month. Then mods have to update. Personally I'm okay with waiting cuz I just bought Skyrim.
I haven't stopped working on it ... But I can't put it online until Bukkit releases a recommended build for 1.0, and, at the very LEAST, WorldGuard, iConomy, and Factions are updated to it.
Trust me, I am annoyed with the wait too, but there are too many special factors coming into the gameplay style here for me to just toss it up without making sure everything works.
With the latest "possibly unstable" Bukkit build, most things seem to work, but Factions and some of the iConomy shop mods are completely borked. Which sorta means that, were I to just put it up and let people get started, things may get messed up (so I'd have to do tons of backups), no one'd be able to buy or sell anything at shops, and people would have to be trusted to only PvP against people that are not on their team.
Which doesn't sound too awesome, so I figure it'd be preferable to start it when it's totally ready to go and not half-assed.
Sorry. But I swear, I've put just so much fucking time & effort into this thing, TRUST ME that I am itching to start it already!!!! Blame Notch/Mojang for obfuscating the code from the CB people, when it's been observed by Mojang that Bukkit is a mightier server wrapper than the built-in.

p.s. I really hate working with PEX

If you have any custom plugins you've done or wanna do, and would like for me to drop in, then YES please do it yes do it.Glitchfinder":3awp7rza said:

Also regen'ing the world to have the custom PvP continent in there has just been the biggest awful clusterdoodle. Had to go through like seventy kajillion seeds to find one with an ocean large enough to house a continent that spans a width of a grand total of 3 million blocks ... Then the whole operation of cutting/pasting/relighting/saving took over an hour itself, haha

It's pretty silly that Mojang still obfuscates their code when all the modders just de-obfuscate it anyway. Although Bukkit had that done a while back.
Anyway, I'm totally excited for the server too! I'm sure it'll be awesome once it's up and worth waiting for.

Ven, I have one plugin that might be interesting, but I would have to integrate it with worldguard before you could use it, unless you wanted just the most basic functionality. The plugin itself allows for sign colors, but it also has some commands that allow you to edit signs after placing them, which currently bypass worldguard, which would be a bad thing unless you only wanted sign colors. If you're curious, you can check it out at GitHub. If you want me to compile the current version for you, I can do that as well. (Though I'm bored at the moment and will probably integrate WorldGuard, then move on to the next goal, which was to add sign copy/paste functionality)

No, the main purpose of my plugin was to add the ability to put colored text on signs. Everything else was secondary to that goal. As it is, you can remove perms for the editing functions, and it wouldn't matter if it were compatible with worldguard or not, since those are what bypass it.
That plugin allows you to put colored text on signs too bebeh :kiss: (among r-click editing)
Regardless, it is a mod YOU made! Which makes it special :3
So pass it to me and I will use the shit out of it.
If it breaks everything though, ...... I'm levvying a 100Cog tax! >:O

Oh oh oh. I am working on NPCs while the RB-waiting clock ticks. I have about 30 of them, and 5 "evil" ones (that just run around and be dicks ... you can fight them or pacify them by attempting to give them gifts).
Make An NPC!
Some of them are shopkeeps, some are guards, some are healers, some are wizards, and some just pace about. (I'm using the Citizens+CitizenSpout plugins fyi). There're also various dancing girls (who don't dance but ... whatever) and a maid ... Etc. Some also give out quests!!! (Though that may be sort of a work in progress at launch) :O!
(I tried to keep them all themed either steampunkish, desert/egyptian, or renaissance-looking).
Anyway the town probably has room for 3-4 more of these li'l guys (possibly more in the future, but I want to gauge lag after launch before adding more).
What NPC would you really like to see?
Any skins you're particularly fond of that you would love to come across on an NPC in the world?
What would that NPC's name be?
What would they do for a living?
What would they say when they talked at you?
Where do you think they'd be? (Somewhere in the Citadel? Out in the PvP Wilds? In a dungeon somewhere?)
Thanks ~

Tom Bombadil
What would they do for a living?
He wanders the deep wilderness planting trees and maintaining their natural beauty while singing rhymes and talking to trees.
What would they say when they talked at you?
He would talk to you in word play and rhymes and play nasty tricks on you if he thinks you are an enemy of his forest. He will trade you various magical nature related items in exchange for materials he would be interested in like seeds and alchemical raw materials. Also at night his presence act as a safe zone as creepers and zombies fear him and flee his presence. He could also give you woodland quests, and ask you riddles
Where do you think they'd be?
The deep woods.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn
He's a permanent prisoner in the jail. He can give you tips on how to escape if you help him find his various writings on the evils of the pharaoh.
He would be in the prison.
O'Brien
He is the warden of the prison. If he catches you trying to escape he brings you to room 101 for reeducation and sends you back to your cell with 1 hp. You can collaborate with him to torment other prisoners and he may help speed your release back into society.
