I like the idea of a Team Rocket. However I need to apologize I do not agree with the idea of dooghts version of Team Rocket.
When I joined this server, I had the idea of making a team rocket, come the time when I ranked up further, but given the chance to explain my idea's now that finding this thread I will just display them while answering the questions asked by Paradox (we love you paradox
) on page one.
Basically my idea I had of a team rocket, was a Team that would add more of an RPG aspect to the strategic simulation you guys have already created. Basically this team would be run by an admin, and players combined and they will at random times a month, or year (defiantly not days or weeks cause that would be too often), can do giant events for all members of the server to enjoy. Like Team Rocket takes over the Silph Co. Building, Rockets take over Mt. Moon, or the base invasion in Celadon City. For players that defeat these events, they receive a special surprise. I will give an example of one of these rocket events.
Team Rocket has taken over Silph Co. attempting the steal their newest most powerful invention (the master ball). Players of the server will be allowed to enter the Silph Co. building, and they will enter a pvp area, where groups of Team Rocket members reside, On each floor there are more members, and the server players will be expected to fight their way to the top. Where they will fight the boss (an admin that will not fighting overly op and godlike, but still extremely difficult to beat). For each player to defeat the boss they receive a prize item. Like a diamond sword with awesome enchants, a bow, or like 25 cakes.
That is just one idea I have about Team Rocket. Other then their monthly events, they will also be a team. Most likely the strongest team on the server. They will move in groups of 3-4, or how many you have in your "Party", and just attack people that are moving un-protected in the pvp areas around the server.
Yeah, let me throw this topic back on track:
Team Rocket ideas pop up every few months and so and I hate to break it to you, but it won't work. There is simply no good way to implement a team rocket on this server. If you can suggest a way to actually make this idea work, that would be awesome. But it's a lot harder than it seems to just make Team Rocket. Do they have titles? What's their ranks? What's the role on the server? Can Team Rocket members be trainers/gym leaders/elite? What's their permissions? Where's the base (If they have one)? You open a whole can of worms with this idea, I just suggest thinking this through before you dive head-first into it.
Yes they have Titles. Well depends on what you mean by title. My idea of titles is the ranking system. Anyone can join team rocket (after completing an initiation battle round against another member on the team), and when you enter then you are made a regular Grunt. Then as a Grunt, obviously you can rank up, to rank up is by beating somewhere of a higher rank then you and meeting requirements to rank up. For example. A grunt James, has reached the requirements to become an Agent, and is ready to take a test to do so. Mind you I don't know of the requirements yet, cause I still don't understand fully the ranking system of the server itself, so I'll add those later, but for the high high ranks like executive or elite officer, a donation to the server is required. So James must battle Jessie. In a one on one match to rank up, if he wins. He goes up a rank, and if he loses he stays the same. If Jessie loses she is demoted a rank, to the next available spot. Which would be Grunt, or Agent if a spot is still open amongst the Agents.
*The ranking/title system I will continue to figure out better, once I have figure out the ranking system and the title system already apart of the server.
The ranks. I thank you Hobo for posting the ranking list given on Bulbapedia, saves me the effort of having to go their myself. In my mind I had an idea of using the same ranking system removing Supplier and Scientist, cause of two reasons. 1. Being the rank itself in the show, doesn't hold any real support to the team that would give much reason on this pvp server, especially since both jobs of the ranks is the basic survival skills of Minecraft that you can do yourself for the team anyways as any rank. 2. They hold no combat properties, and this server is mostly based on the combat system in place. So really other then standing around and rolling your thumbs while you walk in circles for crops to grow is foolish. So the ranking system would be like this from highest to lowest rank;
Boss: An admin like role, or a rank just below.
Executive: A high donator role, also containing the correct requirements.Elite Officer: A medium donator role, also containing the correct requirements.High-Ranking Officer: A small donator role, also containing the correct requirements.Agent: Someone who has been a part of the team for a fair amount of time, and meets the correct requirements.Dogsbody (Grunts): A new member to the team, that has completed their initiation round.
Each role can only contain a certain amount of members. For example;
Boss: Two members, consisting of either two admins, one admin and a highly esteemed donator, or two highly esteemed donatorsExecutive: Four member's of Large donator's
Elite Officer: Four Member's of medium donator'sHigh-Ranking Officer: 6 Member's of small donator'sAgent: 8 member's of people that meet's the requirements
Dogsbody (Grunts): Unlimited amount.
*Mind you these number's are all subject to change, depending on balance, and population of server.
Now the question that seems to stand at large is if Rockets, can be trainer's/gym leaders/elites? Of course they should be allowed. Why should someone be penalized and lose other in game titles/ranks for broadening their career? As a Gym Leader, or Elite. The rocket would be required the follow the same rules as any other player on the server, especially inside of a Gym, or as an Elite. Just think of this as like Club on the server, for everyone to make friends easier and quicker. Especially for those that have a hard time doing so.
They have equal permissions, but other nice benefits, like allowance into the Team Rocket Headquarters, and being on the other side during events where team rocket takes over a corporation or area.
Their base will be held inside the underground Rocket base in Celadon city. That seems most fit in my opinion.
It's true this project is extra ginormous in proportions. Which is why I still have much to research (in the server. I know almost anything about the Team Rocket organization), before bringing this idea up again (there you go a fore shadowing of me telling you I WILL BRING THIS IDEA UP AGAIN). So really in my opinion is right now, unless someone puts as much thought into it as I already have, and then some do it. But if not, it's best to leave it till it has been fully thought of.
Also with the creation of this project, then you can't leave out other teams people can join, for example; Magma, Aqua, Plasma, and Galactic. In addition their can be other teams, like Police Forces (I have noticed that this kind of idea is already started), or Pokemon Fan Club. Doing the same idea, cause if there was only Team Rocket, EVERYONE would try to join just for the other even aspect. Also having other teams, can add some Team PVP, or an opportunity for other teams to part take in these special Events.
TL;DR A whole bunch of zany ideas I have had before I even joined the server, thus one of my main plans when I joined the server. Obviously with this huge team rocket advertising I have and James fetish. I love the idea of having a team rocket, but I don't think the server is ready, and I don't agree with your idea's dooghts. Though I would be more then happy to discuss and help you with the idea if you allow me too.
