I skipped from the first page to the last (page 6), so I might have missed someone already alsking this question, but what will the system be like for Moderators and Admins? I'd love to help as much as possible with this server, but I can't donate anything, so really all I'd be good for is construction of a spawn city or something. Let me know!

Anyone else build a 28-block-per-harvest renewable Obsidian Generator using only ONE lava source?
Anyone else beat a guy who was in Creative in Spleef? ON BEDROCK!?
ChannelChat I like, since it reminds me of the old days in Cavera... :'(
Is HawkEye like Big Brother? I've never heard of it, it just reminds me of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to be honest.
Is there a preliminary server acting as a construction site that I could help with? I'd love to be involved in development for this server. Again, I'd donate if I could, but I'll have to take a rain-check on it for now. I still want to help as much as I can, since I have a lot of respect for the guys putting this together.

Yeah, HawkEye is like an updated version of Big Brother. There was a time when I would have thought of Zelda, but now I'm thinking of One Piece. Huh.
Kevin's building some towns and stuff in CSP, and he's going to add the world to the server when we have one. I'm in the same boat as far as donations, but nothing's really going to get done until we get some money. What we can do now is continue to go over the details and find better solutions when we can. We should advertise as well, and invite more people and factions.
Donating is not required to start a faction, no? I'm in a situation where I can't donate now (might in the future....) but I really want to lead a faction.
Server is looking more amazing as we go, guys...I'm proud of you locke, and also you kevin. You guys have potential! :tongue.gif:
Question regarding rules: All that sign up /register for the server will have to choose a clan before they will be whitelisted. What is to stop a player from FAction 1 (that wants to see FAction 2 and Faction 3 fight) making an account, joining Faction 3, and causing chaos between 2&3? An individual could sabotage foreign relations that way; the only thing keeping people from mass murder is, of course, their faction, but what if they just don't care?
A lot of people will start an account and then quit within a day (at least, it happens that way on other servers a lot), so what do they care about their faction?
Donating is not required, no. But please do as soon as you can, but IRL comes first, as always.
I don't remember exactly, but I don't think it's actually required to join a faction, just highly recommended. Sabotaging a faction from within is a perfectly legitimate strategy, if you're willing to go to the trouble. If a player isn't loyal to their clan and doesn't respect the clan's authority, they have no business playing on this server, and they will most likely be banned. This server is meant for faction warfare after all, so there won't be much room for other activity.
HeroChat is my prefered chat plugin.
I highly discourage HawkEye or Big brother.
The resources it uses are ridiculous(It logs EVERYTHING, some of them can be configured to log what buttons players press. That uses bandwith, memory, processing threads, and it's pointless) and as this is a PVP server we won't have much actual 'griefing' to worry about.
I was considering a Hawkeye-type plugin as a way to find players and factions who attack while no one else is logged on. You'll remember that something similar recently happened to OIN. If we can't find the people who break the rules, we can't enforce the rules.
-Edit-
HeroChat seems a bit complicated compared to the other ones I looked at.
Yeah but Locke, that's a no whitelist server, and they have HawkEye or something like it(they ban people for pressing the button used for speed hacks xD). I can install plugins that I use to prevent hacking in the first place, which is better than trying to correct it. Also, I can figure out who attacked with no one online just by looking at logs.
Does the lag on Lost Fate tell you anything about the kind of demands HawkEye/BigBrother puts on servers?(I'm 90% sure that's the reason. There's no other explanation for 24/7 lag like there is)
Hero Chat comes by default set up the way we'd want it (Global and local chats) and I can easily add more channels.
You're free to tell me whatever plugins you want, and I'll gladly install them and configure as needed, but I'm going to advise you to steer clear of HawkEye etc. and to use HeroChat as I know it's reliable and works well.
Made me smile to see this. Reminded me of the old days of project art of war. Are you considering on using a white-list? Personally I would like to see the sever be pure vanilla but I will still check it out if it isn't. Good Luck to you and your server!

Open your eyes. In the end you will have to decide for yourself. You alone.
Actually, Lost Fate has so much lag because a few idiots have gone exploring. The map's size figures in the tens of millions right now. The server is down atm because they're completely redoing the server and the map. Speaking of plugins, do we really need a chat plugin? Just having regular chat could encourage people to use voice chat.
@Blockbust:
We're definitely using a whitelist, and our application will be similar in depth as the PAoW app. We'd like it to be as vanilla as possible, but we've found that certain problems are best solved by using plugins.
I'm really looking forward to this. It should be fun, and hopefully can at least hint at the glory of not only the old P:AoW server but the dream that was Cavera as well. I know, this is not so much of a RP server as Cavera was, but I really liked Cavera when it was active. Even so, I suppose I am responsible for the demise of Cavera in some part, since it didn't start to disintegrate until I showed up. I'll do my best to keep that from happening here, and perhaps we can make it an improvement on what was already the best-run server I've ever played on.
I'm not sure if I'm needed for this, but I was also wondering if you perhaps needed a sort of sub-moderator to help with keeping things running smoothly? Let me know! Thanks!

I agree with Locke on that staff thing. And no locke we don't need a chat plugin that's just my recommendation for one if you'd like to use one(You need one for Chat prefixes, [MOD] [VIP] [ADMIN] etc.).
In my opinion, i think a chat channel plug-in would be great, just like it was in Cavera, but you could just have 2, local and global, instead of the 3 in Cavera
Hmm...With recent 1.9 pr4...
It may be even more epic (I can already imagine some hidden brewing/enchanting chambers deep underground or people using Splash Potions).
Personally, I'd prefer to see no plugins (maybe just some to organize certain things, but nothing like skills or something like that).
More vanilla = the better. Less lag (somehow) and people will be somewhat encouraged to find unique ways of using already in-game features.
Yeah, good call on having the staff more diverse. I just want to help out if I can, since I can't donate.

I totally disagree with Mods/Admins not being able to participate in factions, we're working to put on a server because we want to play on one like this. If we're not allowed to take part in one of the major focal points of the server noone will want to run it! Nocheat will be installed. Block logging is up to Locke, but again I disagree and would request that you don't have me install it.

What about ChannelChat? The new Curse thing is very handy for looking these up.
