The war starts when both sides agree they're ready for the war, inportant things of note about the war and the mod:
We're going to use the Factions mod (recommended by Brandon and Ghost) for the war, and territories. Safe zones have already been laid down at spawn, so all that's left to do is for brandon and sycron to make their own territories and finish building. Hermits will not have a group, and will live in the "Wilderness" which is defined by the plugin to be anywhere that isn't claimed. Be warned, anyone not in a faction can be killed at any time, and any structures outside of the territories can be destroyed at any time. Few more notes for those too lazy to look up the plugin:
1. Doors, furnaces, dispensers, etc. can only be "used" (right clicked) in one's own territory. If a door is in sycron's territory, and brandon tries to open it, it won't work. This doesn't mean you should make castles out of doors, just use pressure plates for guest areas. Blocks cannot be broken in the same way as above.
2. A faction can have a certain number of chunks under their territory. This number is the total energy of all of the faction's members. If a faction has 3 members, it may claim 30 chunks of land. The land does not have to be adjacent to other land owned by that faction.
3. A faction member may lose energy by dying (-4 energy) to a low of -10 energy. The max is 10 energy, and 1 energy is generated every 5 mins.
4. If a faction has more land than it has energy (by a member dying and bringing the energy total under the claimed land total, or a member leaving) any other faction may take any land from the low energy faction until the total energy is equal to the land claimed.
5. You cannot claim more than your faction has energy.
6. Members of factions in their own territories take half damage from PvP.
7. Only factions at war with one another may do PvP damage to one another. Except anyone not in a faction, they can be killed anywhere except safe zones at any time.
8. A very useful command is "/f map" which shows any faction territory in the area.
The acolytes faction is a Peaceful faction. Both sides (sycron and brandon) are required to stay friendly with the acolyte faction. Acolyte area is only going to be the observatory. Any areas that are requested to be peaceful will be set to safe zone territories, where no pvp or damage can happen. This means build what you want, and if you want it to stay that way, have Jamesness turn it into a safe zone. Or just join Sycron or Brandon's factions and build in there. It's safe, sort of.
Sweet can't wait for some action =) also people should join DARK :wink.gif:

Minecraft is out, and the server has a new map (obviously). Please note slight changes in the server rules to include The End portals to the no portals rule. You can stare at the ones in strongholds all you want, but do not activate them. When we decide to change maps again, we will be going on a dragon hunt of sorts as a group. It will be fun, and you know it.
Coincidentally, he last time I was on here was because of a bukkit update, and I apparently forgot to take the giant message off the OP when bukkit did come out, well now bukkit isnt updated again. Still, we do need more people on the server, and what better way to do it? Any ideas?
