BattleScape is a survival vanilla server. Anything goes, besides abusing our ten rules. Surviving in a server with MORE threats (4x the mob spawn rate, and a great PvP community), than any other SMP server you've been on will be a new experience for most people. This is a true survival server.
Hey guys, I got a letter at my base today, I think you all should see it.
Dear Citizens of BattleScape,
Your mindless killing has disturbed the flow of this world,
In two weeks, the world as you know it will become deadlier to wipe out all existence.
Awful things such as Giants and Ghasts shall roam this world, and I shall be released from my cage.
You have until the 17th,
- Herobrine
Be prepared, and get into your biggest groups, as both giants and ghasts will soon roam this world.
Hello various members of BattleScape,
Me and my buddies were going over BattleScape, as we do somewhat often, to provide the maximum gameplay experience. In the middle of the skype meeting, Rippedstar gave the idea of starting over, and fixing the flaws we previously didn't think of.
For example, fixed teams. Sure the teamwork idea is great, but to have to be with people JUST like you, even if you hate them, we found exciting for some people, but for others, a hopeless disaster.
The solution? Oh I wish I knew one that wasn't as dramatic as the one we agreed on.
To start over, in a free for all based world.
Now, before you all begin to bicker about the horrible idea, and how it would completely ruin the teamwork and social aspect of the game, think about it this way.
- There could be more, player based teams. More teams was always a big idea for me and various Skype friends and staff, yet we could never manage to accomplish it without the idea being torn to shreds.
- People could pick their teams, and have to rely on them and their friends.
- The people that like to be a lone wolf can howl as a lone wolf.
- Progress would be slower, which will make it so full diamond armor isn't as easy to obtain.
- The server would have more fighting and be more chaotic.
- I wouldn't have to warp everyone all the time, making the job on staff much easier, therefore it will speed the process of bumping this server 24/7.
What would the server be like? A great question, and with a great question, comes a great answer.
- People would be most of the time alone or in small groups.
- The server would have MUCH MUCH MUCH more thieving, grieving, and killing action.
- There would be edited dungeon loots, maybe to have a rare chance at Netherstone!
- Lightstone would still be handed out as a contest reward.
- The rest is up for you guys to shape.
Now, the reason we are making this post ahead of schedule is because we want this out by New Years, and we'll be having a few "contests" to see what we can do.
There are a few things I have to collect your opinion on. Post it here or send it to me in a PM.
1. Decide the new server name. It will end with Scape, but it will have a new first word. (If you suggest RuneScape, I'll kill you.)
2. We need IDEAS. Make these ideas you know how to operate, such as give me a hey0 plugin link (That works for beta) and tell me how it could fit great in the server.
3. We need a banner. This is pathetic, us not having one. Period. PATHETIC. The winner of the banner competition once we decide our name will win FIFTEEN Lightstone. I don't hand this stuff out often, so get your artistic tools ready.
4. Tell me how I can make this server more original. At first, we used the "forced sorting hat" group idea, (as in the Harry Potter sorting hat) but this idea is being abandoned, so any ideas to make the server more original and different from others will be great.
Thank you for your time,
- Monkah
PS: If you apply or are in the whitelist before the new server is up, you will not have to apply.

Describe your hobbies in Minecraft: I like to make my worlds seem like realistic--for what that is worth. I build a graveyard at my spawn to honour the dead, Hero the First, Hero Jr, Hero III, etc. I like to build with the natural landscape, so I like to convert natural caves into my bases of operations. In a free for all, I'd have to adjust my play. I'd probably make arrows and rob people.
Tell us what you expect from here: I expect to hunt the most dangerous game--other players.
Additional info: I work on call as a teacher, so I don't know any given week how much time I can devote to the server. But if it is enjoyable I'll just to put my hours in.

I love to explore throughout the universe and find unique structures made from the generating land Minecraft creates. Building is what I mostly do though, and when I do they are well made structures. I also enjoy PVP too, such as this server says it will have. When I am on a Team server it creates a satisfying feeling of becoming dominant over all of the other teams and wanting to demolish them to me. I hope to join this server and DESTROY all other teams. :tongue.gif:

Tell us what you expect from here: Complete madness. Hidden bases, wars, raids, explosions, the works. As long as no one hacks, duplicates, or whines, I'll love it. Some servers consider me a griefer, I call it survival of the fittest.
Additional info: I'm playing on anarchy.gleany.com at the moment, great server except for it's 25 player max and it's use of the Borderlands plugin. Also, I'm not sure why you ban forest fires. They're an eyesore, but they can be a good tactic for burning jungle bases or treehouses. Instead of a smile, have a skeleton.
Gmod, TNT cannons don't work, so thats really a 0. Redo please, and people, WRITE MORE THAN ONE SENTANCE.
Also Nostur, Futhermucker, and Unmisteriouse, your application is missing something.
Rotten, I threw you into Yellow for being unspecific. Seemed like you though from the three words you posted.
Everyone else, accepted.
Also, a small key for you all:
Green = Loves building defensive traps.
Red = Loves killing, stealing, and griefing.
Yellow = Loves making structures that look pretty.
PS: Server is back up.
PSS: Forest fires are banned because if they spread too far, they lag up the server.

Describe your hobbies in Minecraft in a paragraph or more:
In minecraft, I like to build redstone circuits but do not very much like to mine stuff because (for me) it is a very repetitive process. Although when you are mining and find more than 3 diamond in the same vein it is very nice to see your hard work pay off. Also, building mob traps is very fun but if mobs are disabled that will not help me much.
