Great! Going to throw out some other rule ideas. It'll all be done by honour system obviously

No using the dynamap

If you want to sleep, you have to negotiate it with whoever else is online

If you take down a tree, you must replant one sapling

You cannot quit if you can see a another hunger games player, or else you automatically forfeit a kill to them

Edit: Actually forget that location, animals don't spawn in mesas. The islands at -1000, 3000 looks good too though.

You should make sure there's a large amount of land available for natural stuff to generate like caves, trees/forest, beach. Basically has everything combined into one island? No access to MC at the moment but I'll check that location tomorrow.

Perhap we should set the starting line up like in HG where each person is given a podium and must swim to the shore at their pace?

Nether portals are forbidden as it will allow players to access items that could enchant their weapons better.

Farms is not allowed, even for food. Food must be gathered in the wild like a hunter.

Agree with all of that, I think those islands at -1000,3000 will be just the right size so that it's big enough for everything we need but also you'll need to watch yourself when you're online. Depends on how many people are interested too I guess!

If we can get 5 players to start off, we can go ahead I'd say. Although this would be subject to the mod's approval!

Ponster

I'd be happy to give this a shot too

Well that's 3...Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Whenever suits everyone! Like maybe Monday-Thursday next week? Nothing this week suits tbh

jujumushu

I don't see any problem with this, as long as it doesn't interfere with the other people playing on the server. Just make sure to have enough beds for people to set their spawn there (safe house or something) before you start so they don't have the trek the whole way back

jamo2oo9

I can get started on making a starting point and I will probably create a Nether portal with a link in the nether to the spawn nether so it's quicker. That could be the transportation sorted to the island really.

Beds are down to players. They should craft it in the challenge, not take it over with them?

I had a look at the island today, it looks really good, plenty of space, far away from nearest developments and animals spawn there so food is good!


I was wondering, since this is a Hunger Games challenge, should we be allow to grief? Just for the challenge and on the island only

Regarding beds, I definitely think there should a safe spawn building with beds. So when somebody gets killed, they can get back in the game relatively quickly if they want to. Outside the spawn building, yeah everybody should have to make their own beds.

What kind of griefing do you mean? I think robbing and breaking things is definitely fair game, and you shouldn't be logging off when somebody can see you anyway!

[CrimsonGhost]

I'd be interested in a UHC game or coordinating with others on a UHC server some time if people are up for it.
For the uninitiated Ultra Hardcore has no natural health regen. Only way to get back health is golden apples or potions. And a single solitary life. You die, you're out, until map reset. Hunger games just seems like easy mode.

Darkglasses

Yeah UHC would be cool, although the uninitiated might be really in the deep end...and do you know where we could get a server for it?

Sounds like a bit of craic. +1

MadYaker

Im trying to connect to the server but keep getting this message

AN EXISTING CONNECTION WAS FORCIBLY CLOSED BY THE REMOTE HOST

Anyone know a fix for this? Its been ages since I've played but I still should be on the whitelist. Im playing on windows 8.1. I suspect it may be some issue with Java.

Darkglasses

Fireworks display at spawn at 6.30 pm this evening

Rachel_Ann

Curses! Witches poisoned my horse whilst riding through the forest in search of wolves. You were a mighty steed Beefy, I won't forget you.

Can I've another horse Dinty?

Darkglasses

On my way through nether spawn, I decided to tidy up the area a tiny bit. Basically just get rid of the unnecessary hair-pin I had to make. A ghast decided to help, kindly knocked out the two bits of netherrack on the floor that was otherwise completely stone. Unfortunately, I was standing on the netherack, and down I go to the lava.

Lost full diamond armour, sharpness 4 sword, my best bow, my two best axes, my arrows, the stacks of clay I'd just harvested..

That'll teach me for playing when I should be studying

Shiminay

This summarises every trip to the Nether I have ever had.

Fup the Nether right in it's ear.

Darkglasses

I usually never ever bring my good stuff in! But hey, it's so safe now, there's cobble everywhere says I. What could possibli go wrong!

MadYaker

What version of minecraft is the server using?

Darkglasses

1.7.5

Pompous

Learn to Potion of Fire Resistance lads. Drink one and the nether becomes safer than the overworld.

Solitaire

Or just leave one sitting on your hotbar whenever you go mining or nether-ing, just in case...

MadYaker

Theres a big chest full of them beside the nether portal, can we just use those? Also, how come I can't lock stuff? Last time I played on this server everybody locked everything.

Shiminay

Lockette hasn't been released yet for the latest flavours of Minecraft. They rewrote a lot of the backend so the Bukkit guys had to totally rewrite their stuff and then the mod makers will need to rewrite to make it all work together. It is an unmerciful pain in the ring, but what can you do? If stuff gets stolen report it here and the mods can investigate it.

Pompous

I like not having lockette, it's fun to nosey in chests. There is no need for it anyway, the server population is small enough for there to be a sense of community and in a real community, nobody steals.

Yes those potions beside the portal are free to take. I put them there last week to try to stop people from swimming in lava without the proper protection. Help yourself.

Yep, out where Welchy and co live.

Pompous

Give me a shout if you're gonna bring one to spawn. I'll make the trek with you so we can bring two back and breed them.

Hi all - I recently started playing on the server (as crafty0204) and have a few questions

1 - Is there a level 1/level 30 enchanting area I can use?
2 - Is there a known nether fortress location where I can grab some blaze rods - need to make some eye's of ender, and maybe some fire resist potions
(although I read earlier there were some near the nether portal in a chest we can use? Is that near spawn?)
3 - Have the three strongholds been found - and looted?
4 - I found a dungeon near where my current temporary base is - should I remove the mob spawner? I remember seeing a rule on the server about no mob farming I think.

thanks already to Pompus who answered some of my questions in-game.

Darkglasses

Don't remove the mob spawner! Just light it up and keep it in case you need the mobs. Going in and killing them yourself is fine, but droppers or grinders aren't afaik.

Plenty of places to kill blazes, I'll show you next time we're both online, or someone else might.

You can use my enchant table if you want, just follow the wooden path north out of spawn, until you get to a giant stone wall. Go thru the arch and go in the white building on the right.

I'll put some signs up in the nether so you can find the entrance to the tunnel that brings you to the nether fortress. You can take a right when in the tunnel to go to the fortress over lava instead, but that one spawns a looot of wither skeletons.

Thanks for the detailed map and signs. I managed to grab a few blaze rods and make it out of the nether alive. I did die about 100 blocks from home to a damn witch, but luckily I was able to run back and grab everything.

Bananasaurus_Rex banned for thieving, if you'd like to explain yourself, send me a pm.

Renegaid

Server has large number of lag spikes at the moment. Anyone doing something with animals/mobs? Wasn't there earlier.

bnt

Server is definitely not happy. Took a long time to log in, and when I did, I found myself in the dark, sinking slowly downwards for about 15 seconds before I was kicked out. I think I had a dream like that when I was a kid ... :eek:

jujumushu

Server did indeed ruin itself. It's back up now. You may have lost a few minutes of work if you were on when it crashed. As I have said to others on the server, if there is severe lag again, send me a message on skype - jujumushu

Darkglasses

Ok! So myself, Pomp, Renegaider were chatting about it tonight, and we're going to do a trial run of a hunger-games dealie on the survival server tomorrow evening! All welcome. All rules done by honour system, no prizes.

This is the general area I had in mind.



You'll enter the islands via a nether portal - you won't know where. There will be a clear safe-zone however, so there can be no spawn killing.

Everybody starts completely from scratch, you need to make all your own tools, armour and weapons while you're there.

If you want to sleep, you must negotiate it with whoever is online.

We can register kills in a thread here maybe?

You cannot log off with another player in sight/in chase. If you do so, expect to be suffocated or something.

Darkglasses

Mining! Any suggestions for rules about mining?

I realize what could happen is everybody spends the whole evening underground looking for diamonds. Should we perhaps have like 30 minutes at the start for everyone to try get as much iron/diamonds as they can (no killing). You can then choose to use all of it in your first life, or keep some of it safely in a chest at the safe spawn house?

MadYaker

Im definitely up for this

Great! Just log on sometime after 7.00pm. Hopefully I'll have everything set up by then.

All for fun I'll be on Teamspeak too

Renegaid

Why not limit it to Stone Tools/Swords? And perhaps a Y-Axis restriction on mining, Iron will spawn reasonable high up anyway. Looking at the picture of the island, you'd probably find iron on the stone surface.

This will pretty much make it even-ish. Iron armor pieces and stone weapons. Itll very much make it a surprise attack = kill, much like Hunger Games. Skill will dictate the fight and flight elements :] Thoughts?

Yeah! That sounds better! No mining lower than level 55?

Pompous

Sounds good to me. Y axis limit or limit it to strip-mining the stone area.
