Suggestion: A Factions Server

[luckyboyblu]

As most of you know, I enjoy PvP greatly. So much that I will /tpahere people while I am in the arena and then fight them. So I suggest factions. For those that don't know, factions are 'groups' that you can be invited to. You can't damage anyone in the group. You have power points, too, which are used for claiming land. If you die, you lose a point. If you kill a monster, you gain one. If you have points over 0, you can claim land. No one can build on the land you claim or open your chests.

But here is where the problem for many of you will be. Let's say you have 16 points total throughout your group total, and you claimed all 16 pieces of land. As soon as you drop to 15, a piece of land is unprotected, leaving it fair game for anyone that wants to destroy it.

You cannot attack someone/be attacked unless you are enemies with that group. Likewise, you can ally groups, which allows you to hit them and they won't take damage. The only thing is that you can't build on their land.

Another thing is, griefing and stealing are allowed. If you are too trustful or too stupid, you will lose your land, your items and your dignity. People can betray and grief you (only in unclaimed areas). People in this server are too weak and constantly ask for 'day plz', and if they fall in lava, they ask mods for their items back. The mods would have to refrain from interfering in natural gameplay, only appearing to enforce the rules. Factions would be really fun.

Whether a separate NY server is made for this or Vycor incorporates multiverses or some shit like that, factions should be added to the community. Who's with me on this?

Also, I propose that every Thursday we have "I Love Luckyboyblu" day in honor of me. I know how dear I am to many of you.

It sounds like a great idea and I have played on a server briefly with them. I never did all the research as it sounds like a big plugin with all the commands... maybe down the road we'll open another server but for now we only have the 1. The hardware can handle more then 1 server but its the bandwidth that would suffer

I used to play on a factions server before NY. Sadly it was a cracked server so it got griefed, then it wen't down. Ever since that server i have thought factions is a great plugin. So i think it would be cool to add this to the server or perhaps make another server using factions

I like the factions exept for the power points. BROTHERHOOD OF IRON!

i like the idea, but the crude rules would cause us to lose players, and attract grievers, assuming this does happen, I want to be head of the (or wrag can) MELON MAFIA

I actually just enabled multi worlds. I created a portal to a world called "Faction" that will be used for Factions.

You'll be able to bring items back/forth so you can buy items in the store and use your existing items/economy.

The portal is located right outside spawn doors.

You cant do anything yet, i still have to configure factions for it

Nice vycor. Good job
How about add mcmmo to the factions one

[Vycor]

whats mcmmo?

[wolfsky]

Isnt mcmmo the one with stats? like Axe stats (deal more dmg with axe) Mining stats (chance to double mine an ore) I like mcmmo if thats the right thing.

[DaleK]

McMMO is a level up plugin. You get to master abilities like mining for cool things like double drops and more.

I posted a similar sugestion in here a while ago, you already know my oppinion.

[tekno42]

i like the idea,but people might all join a single side, like if someone like drag is on it, i think there should be either set factions, or certain restrictions. Also, who is gonna choose faction names?

[Vycor]

You guys choose your own factions and your own property lines. You also choose wether you want to fight others or not fight, etc...

[John2y]

It's fair to let anyone, in the faction to build in his own land without destroying it, if possible it could be cool if the leader could unable/disable the protection, just if they want to RP xD, Then they could make it ruins or roll it back.
I was thinking about that now, I want to do some things there.

It seems like the idea of factions is being changes a lot. Faction servers are about banding together with a group and fighting thr rest, not being on one side with everyone else. Also, I think the MCMMO idea is too much. It isn't a RPG server. People can't rollback or anything. If you die and lose your land, sucks for you.

Also, I don't think people should be able to carry over items because then if they get raided, the raiders worked hard for nothing because all the good items will be hidden. Peaceful factions shouldn't be allowed because there is already the survival part to build and play at. I really hope the things I mentioned in this post aren't implented or I will really regret suggesting factions. I love the NYMC community, so I want to play a little more 'hardcore' with them.
