Current Status: The guy who said has a server and is willing to build lives on the other side of the world from me (no stalk, it was on his profile) so things are going a bit slow communication wise.
Still yet to have the IP. So hold off on the whitelist stuff; and I'm sure everyone can get in.
I would love to be a part of this server. As for my preference, I would rather be part of the US forces. I am willing to be the leader of the US forces if it is not already taken. I hope to see this server up soon, as it sounds like a very fun experience, and I can't wait!
I feel I should say that if you want to use this idea: please follow through with it to its exact guidelines. I would also like to help build the US fort and make sure the area is good. Don't take my idea and mismanage it.
This was first time ever when after I read server-idea post I REALLY liked the idea. Im waiting if this dream will become to live.
If that happens, I WILL be playing! Hell Yes finally server with interesting idea!!! not just survival or modsmp...
I willl join this and I will be happy to serve in US forces or plant bombs for VietCong, I just want to PLAY THIS!!!
I totally feel the same way. I don't care what team I'm on, I just want in :-)
This guy took my idea, plopped it in a desert, and expected me to support it. He then banned me because I explained that he was basically stealing and ruining my idea. -___- not cool, bro.
I was thinking.... to anyone who would like to be in the US:
Would you like to build some of your own fort vanilla style by clearing trees? It may add a bit of realism. I'd plan out where everything would go but then you guys could add your personal things and make the interior.

I'd like to add on to an existing small structure with the essentials inside already. We're relieving a previous group of troops who set up a simple base camp for us.

I thought we'd be in a field though?
I was going to plop the base down in the middle of a forest (jungle) so there would be jungle all around it. Eh, I don't know; I'll find a good spot though.

An idea?
I honestly don't know much of the Vietnam War, but from what they thought in school ( Which was suspicously limited.. ), the US didn't have a cushy base. They were living in homemade tents, surviving from supply load to supply load, literally getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. I wasn't going to say anything about the US-base because it wasn't a bad idea, but now that I know your not sure about, I would like to throw a suggustion in the dark.
This kinda veers from the realism just a little, but hear me out. Instead of a 30x30 base, how about a 50x50 encampment? The wall around it would be about 20 blocks high ( Atleast 5 blocks higher then the tallest tree around it ), and at the top would be a railing for soldiers to keep a watch of the forest. There will be one front entrance, which would have a system of pistons to open it from the inside only. The ground of the base will be grass, and under that would be cobblestone. ( This is simply to warn the VC that the base is here, and not to dig up ) Around the outside will still be the barbwire fence. ( Spiders Web )
Inside the base, there will be only two main structures. One will be a very small shack that will act as a cafeteria. It will be less then 5x5, and inside is just the rations of food, and maybe a furnace or two. The other building will be the captains office. It will be 7x7ish ( Im undecided ) and inside is the captains quarter's, his work place, the maps of the area, and buckets of napalm. ( This is for realism, saying that the captain calls in the airstrikes and what not. ) Outside will be a ton of tents that are 3x6. They will look something like this.
Bookshelf = wood
Inside would be a simple fence support, 2 beds on either side, and 2 chest at the foot of each bed. The US had horrible camp conditions, and overcrowding was often. This can work really well if the server gets popular, and we have to start crowding 3 to a tent, for realism purposes.
In the middle of the clearing will be a crafting center, which will be basicly 4 craftingbenches in a square. Around the benchs, will be double chests filled with items. One for wood, One for cobblestone, one for arrows, one split in half, bows and swords, and one for iron chest plates, and possibly leather boots? The chests will be refilled ever 8? minecraft days, to simulate the resupply.
If you have any questions about my general structure idea, just invite when building the server, and ill give you some pointers.

Imagine this is in a jungle. Here's what I was thinking I'd like to have as a starting base. The chests are full of supplies however you want them, just food (and supplies for farming) and weapons/armor or all that and building supplies. I assumed we'd need to collect them though.
Here's the inside. You should throw some beds down too. I didn't for the picture.
Then after that the US soldiers can build it up to Brentyn's idea.
That's what I would like to do anyway. Does it fit with your vision?
Yeah, good ideas! Both of you are kinda what I'm thinking now--less like a building; more like a camp.
20 blocks high? Not necessary nor realistic. And trees won't be close to it. I was thinking 5-10 with bunker gaps (wooden slabs to make the gap even smaller) on the sides. Maybe a general pentagon shape.
Tents are a very good idea; soldiers will feel like they have their own stuff. HOWEVER, it's very important that we emphasize that individual soldiers don't hoard items. All they should have in there is maybe some food, extra vest (we can do leather boots too), and a spare gun.
I don't know if you guys are familiar with the video game Conflict: Vietnam at all, but the first mission is kinda my inspiration for this.
Still yet to have the IP. So hold off on the whitelist stuff; and I'm sure everyone can get in.

Oh yeah polah, I would be happy to be the VC leader.
Heh, just kidding! I don't care either way.

I was personally pmed by polah.

Still yet to have a host. If everyone could advertise this in any way to try to get a host, that would be excellent.

I;d like more to simply play it but i suppose if I helped built the US territory I would play US, speaking of it inclines me further. yes.
