Now first let me say i'm still a newbie but i still have ideas for the FFA map.
So since in minecraft everybody is building castles and forts i think it's only inherent that people will go to war and try to conquer other townships. No offense, I thinks it's great to have a cool and really well built structure, but a dicking showing contest is only fun for so long before it gets gay.
Anyway, in order to get more people on and not have constant griefing and ransacking where you get on to see your town destroyed, rules would def have to introduced.
First, war on a town can only be fought out during certain times, on even certain days. For instance, due to fact that we all live and cant stand watch 24/7 war on townships can only be commenced on Saturdays and Sundays from 5pm to 8pm. Although outside the town walls PvP rules apply at all times and you can be killed at any time.
Second, you can have a fort as big as you like, but it must be on the ground (sorry Skyforge, love your architecture but its an unfair advantage). Also you may want to build only as big as you can easily protect.
Third in order to set up a fair legal system so that unfair alliances don't occur, Senates would have to be devised. Also, there can't be any decision over the forums. Only Announcements should be made on the forums. Also in the event that Senates wish to meet with others of another town they have to meet in person at a physical location in the FFA map. So if town x wants to sign a truce with town y they can decide to meet at Town X's civic center or at some other negotiations outpost.
Fourthly, there needs to be incentive to fight than "LOL I pwn you n00bs." I cant think of a fair system, maybe taking control of conquered land where to losing town must now put up flags of the winners in shame, or a monetary sum.
I may sound like a precocious douchebag but thats what i envision on a FFA map. If i get any other ideas like how to run an economy, i'll def post them. But I wanna hear everybody's opinion. I doubt i'll have any say in the Admins and mods decision in running the map but this thread was worth posting and getting my ideas out is always good.
