Re: Alternate Minecraft Roleplay Themes

[kingnecromancer]

I was doing a tactical analysis, and I discovered something: Our main problem is that we have a tiny population! Seriously, we are in the single digits. The solution to the alliance's problems? Recruit people. We need to just go out their, and recruit as many people as we can.
The more people, the better. Heck, the roleplay could run itself!

Aeg, I would like to make a group called the pathfinders.
And what we do is basically recruit new members and act as mentors.

[Aegonian]

I do agree that we could use more people, yeah. It would speed up the forum a bit, and hopefully revitalize the roleplays too. Plus, it would give the long-time members a chance to show off their Goldmember badges!
The group sounds like a nice idea too. Who else would be interested in joining it?

[kingnecromancer]

I think that the only error in your statement was "a bit". I think that more people (Like, a lot, at least 5x6= 30 new people) would be the ultimate medicine for our alliance.

[kingnecromancer]

Like I said, let's set up our pages on the minecraft forums.

[Aegonian]

We should probably write a prototype of it on our forum first, so we can improve it before showing it to anyone else. First impressions are very important!

[kingnecromancer]

Allright. I suppose I will start with the U.A.S prototype page. We are doing it like the fantasy RP, am I correct?

[Aegonian]

I could start writing something for P42, or maybe the UED. And doing it like the fantasy RP in what way? Having a description of the faction - history, goals etc - and an application form?

[kingnecromancer]

Yep.

[kingnecromancer]

We should do a short or a trailer to gain some publicity!
Ideas, anyone?

[Aegonian]

A trailer would be nice, but I think we need to know the background stories of all major factions beforehand.

[thunderpants]

I would like to say I may not be able to run the Pyrorks. My Computer keeps overheating especially when playing Minecraft.

You could keep Chard and just let the Pigmen take the place as an NPC Pyrork. (Perhaps feral or lesser Pyrorks, with the few players as actual Greater Pyrorks.)

If we were to run with that, I would quite happily act as a Bad Guy and plot invasions on cities, involving in short Pigman Spawners and lots of fire. I'd be a living natural disaster/random event. I'm sure I can be on for long enough in bursts.

[JorgasElite]

If you are going to be a roaming barbarian, New Frostholm will need walls of snow and ice to keep you out.

[thunderpants]

A massive Volcanic Eruption may argue with them... That or some Pyrork Catapults flinging my minions over your walls... Or some lava filled tunnels bored through the earth.

I'd just like to say that if I do get to be a roaming army than I wouldn't just randomly attack. Various hints would be public, and I'd ensure any damage I did would be purely superficial. It'd be close enough to menace the town, but not close enough to completely disrupt it. How much damage can some armoured Zombie Pigmen, a few blazes and a magma cube or two do?

Speaking of which I need a way to spawn in Armoured Mobs, (I shall search for a plugin, and have done so... Oh yeah and this is a different but still useful plugin, which lets us make custom spawners safely so I don't break stuff.) and I would pretty much have to spend most of my time with godpowers like worldedit, so that I can set up these events.

Also I may be able to make some big wars more interesting. Bribes are always appreciated.

[JorgasElite]

That looks like a really good plugin to use. It will really help with making dungeons!

[Aegonian]

Nice plug-ins! We will certainly use those!

It's too bad you won't be able to run the Pyrorks anymore, though I do really like the idea of the Pyrork attack events! It could really spice things up a bit!

[thunderpants]

Yeah, I'm still looking for a way to create armoured mob spawners easily.

I may just have to MCEDIT some and save them as .schematics, send them to you and then use Worldedit to import them. But I don't want to do that.


Also I think we'd need a plugin to stop Pig zombies attacking me.

[kingnecromancer]

So, we have two MC roleplays, yes?

The Shattered globe and 6 flags (I dunno lol).

I have nothing more to add then this.

[JorgasElite]

@Thunderpants: Try watching Vechs channel on youtube, he might show you how to make custom spawners.

I love Vechs. He has shown how to make them I think as does Sethbling who has made filters to make it easier.

So, we have two MC roleplays, yes?

I thought we had 1 idea and 1 back up idea.

[Aegonian]

We really should start writing the forum page soon: I'd like to start the roleplay (medieval one)! I'll start writing the general information, introduction etc soon, but I'l also need descriptions of all races.

I think we should try to get the medieval roleplay running first. Should it fail, we will start the Shattered Globe roleplay after. If it does become successful, we could still do it as a second roleplay: I'd love to do the Shattered Globe server as well.

EDIT: We should think of a fitting name for the roleplay: any suggestions? Also, the poll for the world name has resulted into a draw between Yggmir and Andrahamn

[Aegonian]

The server is online again for a while: I'll be building a few more ruins or NPC villages, and you'll have some time to finish towns if you haven't already. The server is still 1.4.7, as I haven't updated all plug-ins yet. I'll update the server soon, though!

Also, I think that for our roleplay to have a better chance at becoming successful, it should have a clearer objective. I was thinking of having all factions fight over the few remaining Dragon Eggs, and, possibly, a large city or keep at the center of the island. The Dragon Eggs are a symbol of strength, and might grant the faction holding it special benefits. I'm not sure what these benefits should be, but they could be having access to a unique magic spell, slightly increased speed/damage, or simply a higher income of emeralds.

[thunderpants]

I like the idea of fighting over Dragon Eggs? Maybe dragon egg shrines, consisting of Beacons with Eggs on top? Plus then I'll add one to Chard as a reason to fight me (other than for loot drops...)

Also what's the server IP I seemed to have deleted it by accident.

[Aegonian]

IP Address is 84.80.38.136, default port. The server will be offline for about an hour or so, but it will be back online after.

Dragon Egg Shrines are a nice idea, yeah! We could start building a couple of designs for them later today!

[Aegonian]

The server is online again!

EDIT: I've made some maps for the server. One of them shows the various regions in the world, the other shows all current towns and villages. I didn't know the name of Necro's city, so I called it Risen Rock: seems quite fitting. I also wasn't sure what you wanted your regions to be called, so I made up some other names too (Frostheir, for example).





Almost all of the borders are marked by in-game features like ravines and biomes, so they should be quite easy to maintain in-game.

[kingnecromancer]

Epic! I love the pictures.

The name btw is Dragon's Landing, but yeah, Risen rock IS pretty fitting.
