Sorry, one war at a time, I'll get back to you later

Oh this was very much my piece of art: I never actually griefed to destroy: I went for chest contents (you labeling your chests made it even easier to go for the shiny stuff!). I just wanted to force you guys to build better protection, to rethink what you build. Your buildings aren't holy in Faction Wars. They're supposed to be functional. Looking awesome (like our water wall) is just a byproduct. Learning how to bypass your defenses also aided in strengthening the GDS fort defenses. As I said, you're all subject to my morally questionable game experiments. I happily await everyone's reaction.

You yourself are at fault then. Start a war. Force a siege. Lure creepers. No player will want to wait in his fort while his enemies ravage his surroundings: they'll want to fight. You all have a license to grief. Just stop taking all your morals so serious and make this game interesting. Be creative in both building and destruction. I sure was when I led a creeper right into the Scourge base and stole their gold. It's Faction WARS goddamnit, not Faction TEA PARTY.

Do tell why you think so.

Shut up we're already at war with you.

Emotional damage and spend arrows that I used to cap your ass.

First thing to die in War is Truth!

I patiently await Pufulet's response. If it's not satisfying, it could mean WAR! Another thing: Apparently NeoJapan lost members and thus power. This allowed GDS to expand its territory along the mountain!

Seems my base was griefed too, but the damage is limited because our chests are better protected I'm going to try updating the Factions plugin tonight which should stop players from using buckets and a range of special blocks inside Faction territory. EDIT: server updated! Water / lava is now blocked / protected in faction areas This means you'll only have to worry about creepers: nothing which a good trench can't fix.

I think there's something inherently wrong with parents suggesting you to take tattoos. Btw, thanks everyone

I can only laugh at the fact that you were bragging about your castle in the previous post.

Not in a server that is subject to my morally questionable game experiments :3 Exactly!

In short, what some seem to expect from the server is this: what you SHOULD expect is this: but with added creepers to blow up your chests and walls.

My faction now has 40 power and a lot less claimed. I'll warn you guys that GDS is not necessarily passive/friendly faction I think some people don't quite understand how hostile the situation in the server is. If you want to have stuff protected either hide it damn well or put it behind several layers of protection.

All part of the faction wars boys. The effort you put into designing your buildings will reward you with real defence. And remember, a wall is only as strong as its weakest spot.

Haha No.

No, but I did delete all his player data (so he doesn't respawn that far out) and deleted the excess chunks (so including everything he build there).

Meanwhile watch this hilarious Minecraft porn parody. Yes you read that right.

Tomorrow I'm stopping the server for a short while to trim the chunks, because that thebloodyking idiot walked like 1600 blocks to build his base. The map size is already twice as big as that of the previous build contest.

What Botervloot said.

What part about "Members are only allowed to reply to topics when they are involved." do you guys not understand.

Installed another plugin on the server that allows every individual player to set their spawn point by right clicking while holding a compass (only once every 30 minutes).

Small factions can only claim limited terrain. Plus you end up being obliterated if a bigger faction decides it wants to fuck you up (unless you decide to hid in an impenetrable tower).

Note how this will affect player relations on the server, and the way you build things. Building a fort is now actually functional since it'll protect you from hostile factions. Dying means your faction loses power, opening up the opportunity for other factions to steal parts of your territory if you're not careful!

MINECRAFT FACTION WARS So I finally installed Bukkit and decided we need to spice things up a little for our 10th world. (Totally realistic interpretation of how awesome it'll be) Read about the plugin (how shit works / commands): http://mcteam.org/plugins/factions/ To make a few things clear: * Everyone can create a faction, which is either open or closed (meaning invite-only) * The faction creator is the faction admin, which can promote other players to mods * So factions are pretty much like Steam groups * Using various commands you can claim territory and set your relation with other factions * On claimed territory, only your faction can build / destroy blocks and active doors / open chests / etc. No griefing from non-faction members possible! * On our server, the damage modifier in your own terrain is 0.25, meaning you'll take 25% less damage if you're on your faction terrain. * Each player has 8 power MAX. Meaning you can claim up to 8 chunks for your faction. * Each time a player dies, he loses 2 power. If the cumulative power of all the faction members is less than the amount of chunks they claimed, other factions can steal terrain from you. * I suggest you just read the plugin website, which also explains the commands. SimpleServer is no longer running on our server this time around. Also there is NO WHITELIST and NO BLOCK RESTRICTIONS. Only the !motd and !who command are still there, thanks to another plugin. The server will start at 19:00 GMT TONIGHT.
