Factions, give players more pvp fun!

[jord7531]

Over much time, many groups have been formed and disbanded for various reasons, mostly due to faulty members who people thought could be trusted. Other scenarios such as new players who can not afford houses in region have no protection and are easy to pick off for the more advantageous players.


Factions a plugin that offers semi protection would be both a benefit and something exciting for those who want more to do in pvp than just challenge gym leaders and such.  I could in depth with how it works... but simply put.


Players create factions using /f create, and /f as the main directory for all commands related. Doing so the player can then "claim" land for their faction which is selected by chunk (16x16) including the sky down to bedrock. only members in the faction may now build in this land, it can not be griefed. There are many ways to raid these protected bases, but the most common are the use of TnT cannons, or lowering the factions power to claim it from them. When a faction is created it come with a set amount of power which increases with each player added; every player has their own personal power. Every time a player dies their power decreases by a set amount. In order to keep hold of land the factions amount of land claims can not exceed their power, doing so will enable other factions to claim it from them. 


That is as simple as it gets, but there is more to it than that, I will leave it to anyone who finds this interesting to explore the rest themselves. I hope you will take this plugin into consideration, it is a very enjoyable plugin when it comes to pvp.

The problem is the admins WANT griefable wildernesses so if people just claim random locations, it will be like so nothings here.....

[Paradox]

I don't care abut a griefable wilderness. I just don't know if people want this so much.

[Ichikunjii]

Hmm that is a valid point too. :P

We should have a poll.

Maybe limit it POSSIBLY to having factions such as
"Non Canon" and "Canon" ones.

Non Canon like the resistance and such that occupy more of the wilderness.

Team Aqua/Magma/Rocket/Plasma/W/E that occupy their respective territories.

Wilderness 1- faction Base
Wilderness 2- Warzone
Wilderness 3- Anything goes

My faction claims the wilderness warps!

Ohshit the elites made a faction, we're screwed.

We can't beat them they're too op, admins hlep hlep hlep

Fuck new ideas.

Thats the problem, when the "best" players in the server just join up Factions become pointless to the point where its just there.

Then again players NEVER normally try to face the enemy after getting wrecked by them a ton of times.

In my opinion factions would only work if:
1. it was HEAVILY moderated (maybe a new group [FactionMod] )
2. a new multiverse world was created for a much larger wild, effectively removing the issue of there ever being not enough non-claimed land. (factions would only be creatable in that new mv world)
3. the price to create one should be very large. I'm talking at least $200 000, which would limit the amount of worthless, quickly-dying/low players factions, and would encourage people to pool money in for their desired group to become a faction.
4. A limit of up to 5 factions in the world.

*5. Building upon number 4, another idea is to have only 3 preset-by-admins factions, which are all hostile to eachother and are like 3 nations to choose from 
ex: Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua.
      Charizard Nation, Blastoise Nation, Venusaur nation.
      Kanto Nation, Johto Nation, Hoenn Nation.


( the *  cancels out #3 and the last bit of #2 )

If this is implemented, then we could have each mod start their own team and pick players but also keep the teams even.

True, but the problem is when they start they will set up a base, claim land. Once the base is raided that mod will probably be too busy or too lazy to even start rebuilding the group. Hmm thinking about this why not instead of the mods have EACH E4 member be part of their own faction.

[Tenebrae]

How about we just give up on thinking about factions.... 1ce is right. World Guard and factions weren't meant for the same server.

Wilderness 1- faction Base
Wilderness 2- Warzone
Wilderness 3- Anything goes

And then someone walks from wild1 to wild2, and then to wild3. 

[Okieskinny]

I forgot wilds were connected =.=

Ruins the pokemon server. This aint a hardcore pvp server, if you want Factions go play on a Factions server. In Pokemon I dont see any Team Aqua or shit conquering land. They do own bases, but they don't own any land. We technically already have factions with all these stupid groups being formed.
