Faction Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

[Dr.Minky]

After 9 months of nurturing, Awesomeo and I have birthed the idea of a brand new faction: The likes of which you will of never seen before, and we need your help to make conceive it (Too many birthing puns? Nah)

The basis of this faction will be two things.

1) To build a huge breath taking base. This will be our main focus this map, as this base will be a stunning and complex events arena with several floors capable of hosting multiple MC events. Generally we will be putting our own builds on the first level and entrance to the arena, and then the events underground and above the central level. This is something we will constantly be improving to make as stunning as possible, making full use of MC's new limitations and blocks. And the use of all these empty floors and buildings you ask? Well..

2) To create many activities inside the base in which other server players can come and take part in. Think of our faction like event organisers, and me and Awesomeo your cool bosses that throw you scraps of diamond every now and then. This means we will be able to host REGULAR community events on the server (something that's been asked for for a while) including PvP tournaments, a Casino, underground team dungeons, Spleef tournaments, YOU NAME IT! All in a relatively short amount of time. Combined with the addition of GC trading and Emeralds in MC, this will be relatively easy for us to maintain and run.

If you're thinking to yourself, "Oh, but Minky! Why bother spending all our time making this base when it's just going to be deleted?!" then CALM DOWN BRO! The community arena can be copied over to new MC maps after we've built it, so we don't have to start from scratch each time, but still get to enjoy building fresh new things for people on the server.

If you wish to become part of the faction then post an application below, everyone is welcome at this stage so don't be shy.

- WHAT YOU CAN OFFER AS A LONG TERM MEMBER

- IF YOU CAN USE THE MC TEAM SPEAK CHANNEL OR NOT

- BUILDING SKILL LEVEL /10 (roughly)

- IF YOU ARE A PREVIOUS MEMBER OF PRODIGUILD/RANGERS

We're going to split it into three phases

1) Resource gathering: this will show us how much we can trust you as a player, think of it as a 'review' stage, but we want as many people as possible on this to help us get the resources we need and claim the land we need anyway.

2) Here we will filter out those of you who want to go off to make their own faction (You can take 50/50 of the resources that you mined if you wish) and then start work on building the main base - This will take up a big chunk of our time this map, as we want to make this perfect! Your building skills don't have to be brilliant, as me and Awesomeo will tell you what to do, and give more experienced jobs to the best builders of you.

3) Last of all, beginning work on making events for people, building our own personal structures and much, much more.

- WHY YOU WANT TO BE IN THE FACTION I want to be a member because I want to do something new on the server. Going around and slaying people isnt what it used to be.

- WHAT YOU CAN OFFER AS A LONG TERM MEMBER I can offer everything you need. Sexual pleassurment included. I will build, and do everything with 100%. I will be trustworthy, and super helpful.

- IF YOU CAN USE THE MC TEAM SPEAK CHANNEL OR NOT I might be able to. I have never tried.

- BUILDING SKILL LEVEL /10 (roughly) I am about a 8 out of 10.

- IF YOU ARE A PREVIOUS MEMBER OF PRODIGUILD/RANGERS I was in Prodiguild. Or do I not count?

I really look forward to this, as it will be so much fun. I really hope you see me fit right in.

[Balmung]

Why not.

- MINECRAFT NAME: Vegeta7141

- WHY YOU WANT TO BE IN THE FACTION: Its a nice idea and I'd like to see something like this actually go through for a change, The only remotely decent thing recently was the Spleef tournament.

- WHAT YOU CAN OFFER AS A LONG TERM MEMBER: Pretty much 8 free Power taht you can use, I don't play Minecraft that often but I like what you guys are intending to do, I can help out with some building but initially I'll be here to provide an additional 16 power.

- IF YOU CAN USE THE MC TEAM SPEAK CHANNEL OR NOT: Yeah I can.

- BUILDING SKILL LEVEL /10 (roughly) Probably a 6, mainly due to a doudgy mouse and internet connection Double and triple block placements everywhre)

- IF YOU ARE A PREVIOUS MEMBER OF PRODIGUILD/RANGERS: Mostly been in Mungol, but I was in Rangers for a short period of time once

I assume you plan to make it peaceful? In which case I suggest to co-ordinate everyone to be online at the start of the map, even invite people who can spare 20 minutes or so. Make the faction peaceful, claim a shit load of land, let everyone leave who wants to, don't worry about land claim/power decay, doesn't matter, however you won't be able to change the land claim after.

[Guest]

Ya. Even if people dont want to really join, you can ask them to and then claim their power, then they leave. Its a good idea.

Being invited doesnt really count, because it could have been for kick and kill.

P.S. It would be really cool if we made the base surround a gateway. We could have a checkpoint sort of. Then people could come to the events easier.

Also, ive made a list of possible events

-Golf tournament For this we would need a silk touch item.

-Spleef

-PvP Tournament

-Scavenger Hunt (Awesomeo's Adventures)

-A Maze race

-Jumping Puzzle Races

[Corby]

I am killing to get a jump event going, I honestly think we could have one really soon infact, I have some awesome ideas for it.

[Guest]

It would be cool to have pistons that pushed out every few seconds. It would make it very challenging.

Me and Awesomeo will work on building a obstacle course over the next week, I do have some epic ideas!

Still thinking this over, but i'll throw this up anyway.

Minky shoved this thread in my face when he just created it. It's more interesting than being an unnoticed "janitor". But then again, lurking in the shadows and just watching other people build is fun.

- WHAT YOU CAN OFFER AS A LONG TERM MEMBER

Intricate redstone designs. It helps when you actually understand the logic behind it.

Nope. Gods usually dont mingle with the mortals.

Yes, the likely thing that will happen is that we get as many people as possible in when the map first starts to begin mining resources, and at the same time me and Awesomeo will claim as much as we can and lay down the border.

After that we'll filter out the people who want to go start their own factions, giving them a share of the resources that they mined, and can get to work with the people who actually want to be part of the team and have fun building stuff(probably the people that apply in this thread!)

I like building stuff and gathering resources, that's literally all that I want to do. Plus pure PVP bores me so this is a good alternative.

WHAT YOU CAN OFFER AS A LONG TERM MEMBER

Oh no, commitment! I guess throughout the whole build even after I can still be used to help with things. So to answer your question I guess just being another helpful hand for a long duration of time.

IF YOU CAN USE THE MC TEAM SPEAK CHANNEL OR NOT

Sure, but I'm not talkative.

BUILDING SKILL LEVEL /10 (roughly)

7ish

Its fine, I don't think it'll be updated for a couple weeks yet. Its only important that you're on on the first day so we can claim the faction land anyway,

[Guest]

Ok. But are you sure about the update timing? Because I thought it was supposed to be really soon. And Im going to be gone for like 10 days, and Im pretty sure I leave in like a week.

[Baron Baconeer]

- MINECRAFT NAME: Aavemursu

- WHY YOU WANT TO BE IN THE FACTION: I've been longing for some multiplayer building in minecraft for quite some time for now, so this seems like an ample opportunity.

- WHAT YOU CAN OFFER AS A LONG TERM MEMBER: Myself. Oh, and a funny little project every now and then.

- IF YOU CAN USE THE MC TEAM SPEAK CHANNEL OR NOT: Can and will, and would be most likely forced to even if I wouldn't want.

- BUILDING SKILL LEVEL /10 (roughly): 7½

- IF YOU ARE A PREVIOUS MEMBER OF PRODIGUILD/RANGERS: Neither, but a previous member of both mungols and left4green.

If you're on holiday when it happens then it can't be helped, just enjoy yourself
