The Beta:
We have now made it to the beta stage! This is when we have a working base, and we will just be fixing and improving the current content, as well as adding new content.
IP:209.236.126.177
(You must be accepted for the beta first)
Note: We will have an open server test on the 10th of may! This means you can join even if not accepted.
Mechanics:
How does it work?
We have coded a custom server plugin to run everything. When you join the server you are in the middle of the city. You must chose a job, or stay with the unemployed default rank.
When you chose a job, you get the perks of that job(see jobs). Using those perks, you can make money by offering the citizens of Block-City different products.
We will be adding different features such as the ability to marry players, abilities to lockpick doors, etc. (see features.)
Your goal is to roleplay out a character when you join the server. For example, a Police officer will patrol the city to find law breaking citizens.
If you role play properly, you will gain RP points, which will be used to purchase items only available to other players that have properly role-played.
Rules
General
1.) Do not spam any blocks in the city. You are only allowed to place doors to claim stores and homes for RP use.
2.) Respect all players on the server. Do not excessively swear at players OOC, or use any racial slurs.
3.) Do not abuse any powers that you are given.
4.) If you die, do not come back to the location that you died at, or revenge kill the player. NLR is in effect, and you forget everything about your past life.
President
1.) Have a valid RP reason for the taxes you are setting.
2.) Do not post any laws that break the server rules, or permanant laws.
3.) Do not randomly give out warrants
4.) The SWAT team are not your body guards, do not treat them so
5.) You have ultimate control over your government forces
Police/SS
1.) Follow presidential orders, unless instructed otherwise by administraotrs
2.) Do not randomly taze, arrest, or handcuff players
3.) If the president does not issue a warrant within 5 minutes of request, you may let the player go
4.) Do not let your friends go. This is a RP server.
5.) If a weapon has been pulled out against you, do not pull out your own unless attacked.
6.) You must have a reason for raiding player's homes. Do not randomly search for contraband.
7.) Do not spawn contraband
Raiding, Robbing
1.) You must have a valid RP reason to Rob/Raid a player
2.) Do not ask for more than 2,000 when robbing or taking someone hostage
3.) Do not abuse any blocks to get into the player's home
Merchants
1.) Weapons Dealers, Chefs, and Black Market Dealers cannot have a base. They must always be selling things to the players of the city.
2.) Do not Rob/Raid/Mug anyone as a merchant.
3.) Do not work with the rebels, or mafia, you are able to deny service to one or the other with a valid RP reason.

Commands
General
/jobs - Show the list of jobs
/jobs [job] - chose a job
/help - see all commands
/request -send a message to the government
Note: This is not the final list for Beta testers. Unfortunately there were some setbacks, serious setbacks, and I am unable to have the server released on the promised date, 4/30.
I appreciate all the support for the server, and I am truly sorry for my failure of bringing the server on time. Keep in mind this is only for beta testing, and you will have a chance to get accepted for the official white-list if you are not accepted for the beta.
I am still looking for applications, so don't be discouraged. If you were not accepted, you may feel free to edit your application and repost. I do not want to have too little people, or too many, I am looking for around 30 people.
Please add some more effort/detail if you really want in on this.
I understand that many of you have applied for Sherlock city, which has never been meant to release. I promise you this will not be the same.
All Applications are being moved to our website: block-city.webs.com. Thanks!

Why do you want to join us? looks fun and i am an exellent builder and redstoner and i will follow all the rules
Why do you want to join us? I want to join this server because I love the idea of the role play city idea. It sounds really awesome and I would love to be a part of this!
Thank you for posting your applications. they will be reviewed, and will be either accepted or denied on the release of closed beta testing. Please follow the thread to see videos of the server content, and to see the list of accepted beta testers.
First dev blog uploading:
Not too much to show off. We plan on having the rest of the jobs finished by tomorrow, and have commands for the jobs working by the 26th along with the police batons and the spawning gear.
We hope to get a map built by the 29th, and have a beta to go on the 30th. After the 30th our 4gb server will be shut down, and we will either move to a small (2gb 30 slot) server, or we will pay for another month of the server via donations.
If our current plan fails, we will go to a 2gb server, and release to whitelisted only, and finish up the features, before making an open beta release.
To Do:
get economy going
Get all commands done for all jobs
Fix small bugs
Add marriage plugin
Add Sheaths plugin
Create a plugin to allow players to place doors
Allow for methods of raiding (lockpicks)
Touch up on bugs

During that time Martyn saved a lot of lives do to getting team members that were wound to nearest medics or when he felt something was an ambush and was. After serving in the military he was awarded the Medal of Honor but he had no were to stay and he still wanted to be a president. After searching for a while he found a place called CityRP and he automatically wanted to join the city. Martyns favorite saying is "Failure dosen't mean you failed it just means you haven't succeeded yet."

Hey i can donate if u need me to so i can help you keep it a 4gb server cause i have been looking for roleplay servers and i finally found this one that looks good!
How Long Have I Been Playing Minecraft: I have been playing Minecraft since 1.5 Beta
Why Would I Want To Join The Server: I would like to join your minecraft roleplay server because I have been looking for a serious roleplay server the entire time I have played minecraft. I have never seen one with rules and instructions thought out like this before, so I thought I would give it a shot and see if I would be able to play.
Why do you want to join us? = I love roleplay servers and I can never find a good modern city one. I have always wanted to be part of such an amazing thing such as yours! I am also part of the Voxel Box Team so I can build really well.
Wow, didn't see how much support there is from the community! I will be finishing up the main menu for jobs today, and I will be accepting the applications I feel that would benefit the community. We do not currently have a map setup for playing, but that is a last priority, I just want to get the coding of jobs over with, after that it is a cake walk!

Thank you for your offer, but I am not sure where I plan on going with the situation of the server. I am going to try to find a minimum of a 2gb server, since I cannot pay for the 4 gig (its around $80 a month)
