Here's 3 views of my lava wall and one of my home (outside done but inside need work). Sorry for links, I don't know how to make them fit the forum in [img].
Hey everyone. Been following this thread since it was started last night and it has sounded amazing from the start. I started thinking of something and I ended up making a forum account the post my idea. I was thinking that each kingdom should stick to a specific architecture and every kingdom will have a different type depending on their location and/or background. The leaders could then briefly study the architecture and set some guidelines for when, and if they have settlers building homes. This way it can give the kingdoms a more uniform look rather than different styles of cobblestone castles all over.
Also, if you would like, I can create some crests for each kingdom and test them on some of my skins. I would just need to know what you're looking for or you could give me some background on each kingdom if you have that sorted out yet.
Excited to see that you're setting up a potentially amazing server and I would be honor to help in any way possible.
Well seeing how IVI4tt hasn't taken it yet I'll claim Agni. That sounds like a place that likes fire to me and I plan on make a lava mountain with it's name carved into it (let me make a pic of my name next my base to show you what I mean).
As for my OCI (officer in charge) I need some people to PM me with pics of their homes so I can find someone to fill in the spot (the only person I know that has MC is in Japan). You got to be in the US. And please be decent in english (I don't mind typos here or there but I can't stand 1337 or text (phone) talk).
I love the whole fire orientated idea you have. Definitely seems like the faction I'd choose when this all gets rolling :]
I would've loved to "apply" for your OCI, but unfortunately I'm visiting family and away from my main computer with all my creations and wont be back in time to make a difference :C
I have just created an account for this forum because I saw this AWESOME IDEA for a server. I currently am on the Appalachian State University Server, and yes Plasma Panda, I noticed you are from Michigan, if you are a huge U of M fan, I am sorry we beat you way back when. But ANYWAYS I would seriously like to join, I frequently use Adobe Photoshop to edit my Minecraft player skins, I personally think they look good, but that would be for you to decide. I believe I can contribute to this server with that. I would like to be in whatever faction would take me. Each of these chosen leaders (admins) seem like some COOOL people. I am tired of SO many people griefing in the ASU server, and just today I made a "Battle Arena" so players could fight and wager their inventories. I set it up so NO TNT could be used. And so NO FOOD could be used. The "Hired Hands" (mercenaries) is a great idea (chewy102(he came up with it first)).
This idea sounds amazing, id love to be apart of it, although i do work a tedious job so hours will be on and off for me, but i love where this is going ill be there on Saturday curious as to what faction ill be a part of, this is of course if youll have me, Ive made a couple massive structures with another online private community, My pride and joy though is my Floating pyramid thats upside down and dripping lava kinda like , Karazan for those of you familiar with wow. i hope to hear more about this hope i get accepted in

No big, man(woman?). So far no one has PMed me and I only asked for a pic of your homes to see if you have the type of mind that can make a bunch of buildings rather fast. They could just be empty shells untill we get people to move in and make what they want of the inside. Like instead of giving people a set of land for a home give them a floor or 2 of a building untill they want to make/pay for a new building. That way the city can stay close to the Agni theme without a lot of small oddly shape "things" all over.
Just had an Idea for a good lighthouse. A creeper made of nothing but lava (glass shell filled in) with stone for the details.
Oh, dear god, I came back online after a few hours and I have about thirty messages about this thing. Another page on the thread. And then more users signing up on the forums to join? I feel so excited and inspired! :biggrin.gif: I'm loving the support here. I'll have to get to all those messages later, so please be patient if you sent one.
I had a great Thanksgiving, by the way. :biggrin.gif:
Well, that's settled then. Hope you're all excited to visit the server and be the first colonists in this server tomorrow evening! :biggrin.gif:
(Haha, noticed the elemental names, huh, Chewy? ;D Good eye.)
And yes, I feel I should repeat that we're only accepting dedicated members that plan to be on every day or so. And once this thing is up, please try to remain as literate as possible. :tongue.gif:
I'll have an official thread out in the SMP Forum later tonight. I'd like to get it done before I sleep tonight. Just to get it ready for the day for Saturday. :biggrin.gif:
I'm hoping people will be as creative as possible, Smoosh. I see where you're coming from, though. Different architecture in certain areas is pleasing to the eye. It's really the kingdom leader's call, though.
And I'd love to send you some story info for help on the crests, Smoosh. :biggrin.gif: I'd much appreciate it if you're up for it.
Bahahaha, I hate sports, Jtibb. :biggrin.gif: And a Battle Arena sounds AWESOME! We could build a Grand Colosseum! Heck, people attending could place bets the dueling users in the arena. :biggrin.gif: We could go in between matches and change the terrain to spice things up a bit every battle, too!
And we're going to keep TNT. Remember, I'm only allowing mature, literate users into the whitelist. Hopefully those users will have actual strategy in their war tactics and not place it right outside an enemy's door. It'd be more for landmines and such. :biggrin.gif: People can get really creative!
Hmh, what do you actually plan on being done by tomorrow, panda?
Are you going to somehow manage to have people be able to choose factions and set their spawn points in that factions capitol, and all the perks like that set up by then?
Just being curious, It seems like a lot to accomplish in just one day; unless of course that's not what your trying to have done in the first place?

Mmhmm. I'm going to try to give as organized a tour as possible with the selected admins and their partners. No, not a tour...more like a safari considering we've got to find land for everyone, really. I feel like I'm really rushing myself here and I should wait until Sunday to release it to everyone else, but I don't want to upset people. But even a day's wait could make a difference. :/ I'm not sure yet.
(sorry if double post, last one didn't seem to send)
I saw it because I love Digital Devil Saga (a set of 2 PS2 games) and Agni is the name of the fire demon Heat turns into and Prithivi is the name for the earth demon Argilla turns into (you're missing the 2nd i)
I don't think so, Prongs. Sorry about not getting back to your message. I'm just trying to get the official thread done, right now. Thanks for being such an interested member, though. :biggrin.gif: I appreciate your enthusiasm!
I haven't heard of those games, Chewy. They any good? Oh, and excited to be on the safari tomorrow? :biggrin.gif:
Oh. Name for the server settled. I hope you all like it. :tongue.gif: Best I could come up with.

Well it definitely is rushed in many aspects, but of course if you can manage to pull it off there's no problem at all.
I just personally feel that it would be much better to spend the time you need to create a server that's as close to fully functioning as possible before you release it to everyone.
If you show them a sandbox server that's been hurriedly thrown together, it would probably turn a good amount of people away from the idea just because they'd think nothing would ever amount of it.
At least some form of structure should be there before everyone is allowed in.
Plus I DOUBT that this little following you have going on here would stone you for postponing the release for even a few days :]

Well, that's reassuring. :biggrin.gif: Quality is the most important thing. I just people don't hate me for my last minute decision here.
And we could take pictures of construction and stuff tomorrow! :biggrin.gif: As well as awesome landmarks we find on continents as we venture forward.
Once again, please don't hate me, people. :L You'll thank me in the long run. Structure is very very important. Besides, you can all wait an extra day, right, people? Good! :biggrin.gif:

Totally Neat So-Far
I cant wait for this server it sounds epic!
