Hey Guys, its Rune here!

Today Me (Runemen4), OgroovysamO and Superhalo6 have done a really cool brainstorm for the upcoming SMP server

The first part is about having the end event for DoD to be integrated as a gamemode for Blocktopia and the rest is pretty much about the server itself

Feel free to add your ideas in this thread!

Here is the Chatlogs of the whole brainstorm:

[NOTE: Before this we were talking about the DoD ending event. If you wanna see the rest of the logs before the main spoiler and reading what we were up to before (Parkour) and our opinions of the event, here you go:

[15:41:17] <runemen4> Crystal

[15:45:19] <OgroovysamO> Ah C:
[15:45:24] <runemen4> We were talking about it yesterday after the event
[15:45:29] [Client thread/INFO]: Warning: Clientside chunk ticking took 207 ms
[15:45:30] <runemen4> I stayed up till 2:30
[15:45:34] <OgroovysamO> x33
[15:45:40] <OgroovysamO> I stayed up until 3am gmt xD
[15:45:48] <runemen4> Pretty much, yeah
[15:46:05] <runemen4> I wish I came on earlier to help out on the fortress
[15:46:10] <OgroovysamO> I hope they redesign this whole mountainscape for the enw server
[15:46:18] <runemen4> That would be cool
[15:46:18] <OgroovysamO> I joined halfway through
[15:46:24] <OgroovysamO> It was fun
[15:46:31] <runemen4> I joined around round 5
[15:46:38] <OgroovysamO> Ahh

Now to the main log!

---[START OF BRAINSTORM]---

[15:46:50] <runemen4> They should add it as a gamemode
[15:46:54] <runemen4> Like DvZ
[15:46:56] <OgroovysamO> Ikr?
[15:47:04] <OgroovysamO> It was so fun
[15:47:08] <runemen4> Ikr
[15:47:10] <OgroovysamO> It could be a server of its own tbh
[15:47:13] <runemen4> Yeah
[15:47:19] <runemen4> But a shorter game
[15:47:23] <OgroovysamO> Yeah
[15:47:29] <OgroovysamO> Like, 15-20 minutes a round
[15:47:32] <runemen4> Yeah
[15:47:43] <runemen4> Infact, they could even add a build stage
[15:47:51] <OgroovysamO> Yeah!
[15:48:42] <runemen4> Poor portal
[15:48:52] <OgroovysamO> It's so dead :c
[15:49:12] <runemen4> I cant wait until the new version of SMP survival
[15:49:21] <OgroovysamO> Same!
[15:49:28] <OgroovysamO> QFS or something
[15:49:35] <runemen4> QFS?
[15:49:48] <OgroovysamO> Thats the name I think, Quest For *somethingsomething*
[15:50:09] <runemen4> QFP
[15:50:13] <runemen4> Quest for Potatos
[15:50:17] <OgroovysamO> Mmm
[15:51:25] <runemen4> I wonder how it will be like
[15:51:31] <runemen4> I hope it has more story
[15:51:39] <OgroovysamO> Apparently it will be more desert like
[15:51:46] <runemen4> That would be cool
[15:51:47] <OgroovysamO> But thats all I know
[15:52:05] <OgroovysamO> I hope it stays active and fun though
[15:52:10] <runemen4> Agreed
[15:52:22] <OgroovysamO> I always thought itd be cool if there was a lava element
[15:52:26] <OgroovysamO> Like, a volcano or something
[15:52:30] <runemen4> Yeah
[15:52:38] <runemen4> Floods and all that
[15:52:39] <OgroovysamO> And every so often one of the clans may recieve random damage
[15:52:42] <OgroovysamO> Yeah
[15:53:14] <OgroovysamO> Like, there could be 40 or so spots on the map where explosions/lava will come out of the ground
[15:53:19] <runemen4> Yeah
[15:53:26] <OgroovysamO> And they will go off over the 6 months of the server
[15:53:32] <runemen4> Yeahhhh
[15:53:34] <OgroovysamO> But no one knows where they are
[15:53:44] <runemen4> And if its desert themed, maybe add sandstorms too
[15:54:02] <OgroovysamO> And then at the end the clans have some kind of war against each other, fight for survival
[15:54:05] <OgroovysamO> And yeah!
[15:54:19] <runemen4> Or another battle with the Crimson
[15:54:26] <runemen4> Or something more evil
[15:54:27] <OgroovysamO> That would be awesome
[15:55:02] <OgroovysamO> Maybe there could be some giant underground sandstone palace
[15:55:13] <OgroovysamO> That is inaccesable until the last day of the server
[15:55:28] <OgroovysamO> And the clans must join up to defeat the crimson inside
[15:55:30] <runemen4> Yeah
[15:55:37] <runemen4> Or something like this:
[15:56:02] <runemen4> "The Crimson was a starter, Now its time for the main course."
[15:56:13] <OgroovysamO> That'd be awesome
[15:56:17] <runemen4> Yuppp
[15:56:21] <OgroovysamO> Like a darker more powerful course
[15:56:25] <runemen4> Yeah
[15:56:37] <runemen4> I wonder what it will be called...
[15:57:07] <OgroovysamO> I'm just imagining a giant underground sandstone labyrinth filled with players fighting crimson
[15:57:09] <Malcovent> .. ;-; not again
[15:57:10] <OgroovysamO> type mobs
[15:57:14] <runemen4> Yeahhh
[15:57:17] <OgroovysamO> Whats up Malc?
[15:57:22] <runemen4> Mal, look where we are xD
[15:57:31] <Malcovent> accidentally knocked off the rof sign
[15:57:34] <Malcovent> 2 shakes
[15:57:38] <OgroovysamO> Ohh ><
[15:57:43] <runemen4> gg
[15:58:07] <runemen4> In fact, your Crimson idea is excellent
[15:58:14] <OgroovysamO> ^_^
[15:58:22] <runemen4> We only got rid of the Crimson in Discordia
[15:58:40] <OgroovysamO> Who says there aren't forces else where?
[15:58:44] <runemen4> Yeah
[15:58:47] <runemen4> Super
[15:59:08] <runemen4> Bigger, stronger army
[15:59:22] <runemen4> And in the end, it will be 40 rounds, not 20
[15:59:25] <runemen4> :d
[15:59:31] <runemen4> :D*
[15:59:38] <OgroovysamO> Yeah!
[15:59:59] <OgroovysamO> Wouldn't it be cool if this happened: (A few messages incoming)
[16:00:18] <OgroovysamO> The would be several scheduled events throughout the course of the server
[16:00:35] <OgroovysamO> And small crimson forces attack each other clans, and other clans can opt to help save them
[16:00:57] <OgroovysamO> And then that determinds the strength of each clan until the end of the server
[16:00:58] <runemen4> Yeah
[16:01:01] <runemen4> Server wide
[16:01:03] <OgroovysamO> Yeah
[16:01:11] <runemen4> So we gotta go to 3 fortresses
[16:01:17] <OgroovysamO> Yeah
[16:01:19] <runemen4> Each in a different location
[16:01:26] <runemen4> And the final place will be the temple
[16:01:36] <runemen4> Were the crimson are at
[16:01:36] <OgroovysamO> Yeah!
[16:02:01] <OgroovysamO> Omg, prior to the temple battle, imagine if each clan is given one week to salavage all stuff from
[16:02:03] <OgroovysamO> their clan
[16:02:09] <runemen4> YES
[16:02:13] <OgroovysamO> And then they return and each clan is badly destroyed
[16:02:17] <runemen4> Yeahhh
[16:02:22] <OgroovysamO> And THEN the temple battle happens
[16:03:02] <runemen4> And the temple is like a maze
[16:03:15] <superhalo6> So what is this about?
[16:03:20] <runemen4> DoD
[16:03:25] <superhalo6> DoD is dead doe
[16:03:27] <runemen4> Look where we are Super
[16:03:42] <runemen4> Yeah, when the new SMP happens
[16:03:53] <OgroovysamO> We're discussing our ideallogy for it
[16:03:56] <runemen4> ^
[16:04:14] <superhalo6> We have lift off
[16:04:18] <runemen4> xd
[16:04:29] <runemen4> I had a whole differnent way, lol

[16:05:40] <OgroovysamO> ?
[16:05:41] <runemen4> Sands of Time?

[16:06:48] <OgroovysamO> Sure :p
[16:06:55] <OgroovysamO> That's awesome
[16:07:00] <runemen4> Rise from Ruins?
[16:07:03] <runemen4> RFR

[16:07:35] <superhalo6> Rise Of Crimson?
[16:07:40] <OgroovysamO> Army of Crimson
[16:07:41] <runemen4> RoC
[16:07:54] <superhalo6> AoC kinda rips off AoD
[16:08:13] <OgroovysamO> We've already had a 'rise' of the Crimson, so maybe something like 'Return of the Crimson'
[16:08:23] <OgroovysamO> But thats lame so not that
[16:08:28] <superhalo6> Well DoD was first appearence of the Crimson
[16:08:42] <runemen4> SoT (Sands of Time) makes sence
[16:08:43] <superhalo6> And they have just started appearing, so now they are a rising force
[16:08:50] <OgroovysamO> True
[16:08:52] <runemen4> Because we only have limited time to the battle
[16:08:58] <runemen4> 6 months
[16:09:02] <OgroovysamO> I like SoT
[16:09:05] <Swift_Siren> lOL
[16:09:07] <runemen4> So the time is running out
[16:09:09] <Swift_Siren> CUTE#
[16:09:17] <OgroovysamO> 'The Crimson Strikes Back' XDD
[16:09:17] <Swift_Siren> they were the reason behind DOD"
[16:09:27] <Swift_Siren> They destroyed barony
[16:10:17] <runemen4> I think that the desert theme is a excellent idea
[16:10:26] <runemen4> Grass is really rare too
[16:10:40] <runemen4> You can only get them from Oasis's
[16:10:46] <superhalo6> Why not give us the story from the Crimson side?
[16:10:48] <OgroovysamO> Yeah
[16:11:30] <runemen4> idk
[16:11:36] <runemen4> Maybe a diary
[16:11:42] <runemen4> Or a library in the Temple
[16:11:45] <OgroovysamO> What was the server that came before JTE?
[16:12:10] <superhalo6> I was actually around for JTE's existance .-.
[16:12:20] <superhalo6> I just remembered that
[16:12:21] <runemen4> Checking right now Sam
[16:12:27] <OgroovysamO> I was around for half of it, didn't play much though
[16:12:29] <OgroovysamO> And ok thanks C:
[16:12:43] <OgroovysamO> I still think DoD should have been called BoB
[16:12:45] <runemen4> Primordia?
[16:12:47] <OgroovysamO> Battle of Barony
[16:12:53] <OgroovysamO> Oohyeah
[16:12:56] <OgroovysamO> That's the one
[16:13:02] <superhalo6> Well considering teh Crimson are a ridiclously dangerous threat
[16:13:05] <superhalo6> The*
[16:13:16] <superhalo6> Why not Alliance Of Civillization?
[16:13:33] <runemen4> AoC
[16:14:14] <superhalo6> It could be a war torn waste land
[16:14:17] <755someone755> hello
[16:14:18] <runemen4> Yeah
[16:14:19] <OgroovysamO> Vengence of Barony
[16:14:21] <runemen4> Hey Someone
[16:14:24] <superhalo6> Like how DoD was just the start of it
[16:14:26] <OgroovysamO> Hello 755
[16:14:27] <superhalo6> Ello sumeune
[16:14:28] <755someone755> People in the Lobby?
[16:14:35] <755someone755> WHY

[16:14:40] <OgroovysamO> Dammit
[16:14:41] <runemen4> Yeah, we are at the DoD bridge
[16:14:41] <superhalo6> Discussing SMP 2.0!
[16:15:17] <superhalo6> AoC could include the ideas from SoT
[16:15:22] <runemen4> Yeah
[16:15:32] <superhalo6> Also coarse dirt
[16:15:38] <runemen4> So AoC happens right after SoT
[16:15:39] <superhalo6> Coarse dirt everywhere
[16:16:09] <superhalo6> Well AoC then SoT considering SoT is an absolute waste land but AoC would be war torn
[16:16:17] <runemen4> Maybe
[16:16:20] <755someone755> What's SoT and what's AoC
[16:16:27] <runemen4> Sands of Time is SoT
[16:16:31] <superhalo6> Alliance of Civillization and Sands Of Time
[16:17:27] <superhalo6> AoC could include a NATO esque thing
[16:17:32] <runemen4> Yeah
[16:17:48] <runemen4> Radiation zones
[16:17:56] <runemen4> Etc Etc
[16:18:09] <runemen4> Like Fallout
[16:18:12] <superhalo6> Maybe we could have towns that survived the assault of Crimson?
[16:18:15] <superhalo6> That carry over
[16:18:21] <runemen4> Yeahh
[16:18:30] <superhalo6> Maybe Defenders under a name change?
[16:18:46] <runemen4> Guardians?
[16:19:42] <superhalo6> How about AOTNA?
[16:19:42] <superhalo6> Alliance Of The New Age
[16:19:44] <superhalo6> For it's name

Wouldn't rating your own poll up defeat the purpose xD?

edit: anyway.. it sounded okay. But very complicated and atm I am hoping of a server that isnt covered in mods since the last 2 or so have been

Yeah, ik I voted on my own poll :)

This was only a quick brainstorm pretty much, I don't really mind how messy it looks because it is the minecraft chat, and that looks messy anyways. I can't really do anything to pretty it up so there is no point to make it clean.

If you have your own ideas, as I said above, feel free to 'donate' your own ideas and post it on this thread, or if you feel like doing so so make the above chat log more cleaner if you feel like it

DoD did have this feature, we added it into the later months because of how inactive man villages had gotten, it didn't really change much, just put old villages into anarchy.
Oh, right, there's still the no griefing rule. This only really works best on servers without that rule. xD

With that in mind, I'm actually not too sure how to make the best of villages. I know Hardcore Factions on Shotbow Network has it to where you can alter the lands anywhere, except for on bought land. For the factions, the bought land has a daily tax, and if a certain amount of people have died in the faction, they can go "raidable," in which their land is then alterable.

... But, I'm sure we're going to be keeping the no griefing rule, so I'm not too sure how to put the two together. xP

Tbh villages kinda fucked it all over when people got inactive and with glass spheres popping up;-; Can't be have plugin-less villages instead? ;-;
Then no one would know who is in what village >.>

We need plugin, that kicks out inactive players after week of inactivity and kicks out mayors 2 weeks later dissolving village.
Also we need feature, that allows change of mayor, if he goes MIA for longer than week.

I was kind of thinking more along the lines of something.... like, add the heroes plugin thing, but also add some sort of other plugin that lets us have jobs to make money with.
As for the crimson, ehh... we could seriously do with a more creative and menacing enemy than some guys who only come about twice a year.

Honestly, I'm all for PvP and such, but... I don't like to partake in it, most of the time. :p

I'll be happy if I can be somewhere that I can feel safe, or at least, be able to run away safely into a trap and make them fall down a hole, and give me all of their stuff.

Plus, I'd like it if we had a teleport command to our faction's spawn, but could only be used if you x blocks away from players of other factions, and not PvP-tagged.

But along with that, I am totally okay with not having a spawn teleport command. We just need to have a dedicated spawn area in the Nether, that has PvP protection like spawn.

Why not have it to where villages decay, if they're not paid for? Maybe a weekly tax?
Agreed, weekly 'pay' for logging in (or going to a set location and clicking a sign/trading etc) plus a weekly tax. If only there was some way to tie in chest protection to towns, or some way of limiting a number of 'safe' chests.

Also, I'd love to see the return of ranks specific to your time/actions on the server itself - Those that we had in DoD were a really sweet touch.

Fun fact, I had planned out a very extensive rank structure that never really came to fruition as I was struggling to find unique perks for each rank and it seemed a bit too confusing looking back on it. Also pretty sure half of it wasn't technically possible!

I would love to see the ranks back though, I always liked them :)

RoT
Rebirth of Thysserin

Quick explanation:
After years of war, that tore the city's of Thysserin apart, the capital of Thysserin, Glisterin, starts to rebuild the destroyed buildings but something else is lingering in the bowels of Thysserin. An old, foul power that was put away into sleep thousands of years ago, but the smell of blood and dead awakened it accompanied with vengeance. ..
(All improvised lol)!

not sure the SMP should "RoT" with that idea. I was kind of thinking something different were we have this kingdom that is split up into various regions that rich people can own. in these regions, the rich people, who become lords, can basically have not-so rich people live under their protection.
The way this is, is so that the various groups of people will be more inclined to work together in stead of warring on each other all the time. Should there be a need for pvp, then people may go to a pvp arena to fight at.
One day, some one is mining, blah-de-blah, when they find some creepy ruins that probably existed before the kingdom itself. After exploration, the only odd thing is a feeling of impending doom.
Later on, the creepy, old ruins turns out to be some prison for good ol' demon king guy, who is hell bent on destroying the kingdom. The people of the kingdom must fight off a monthly/weekly raiding party to ensure the safety og the kingdom, and can best do so by having all the workers do their proper job to build up a good enough defense to ward off the demon king's army.
Feel free to elaborate further detail into this idea if it is accepted.
