Boards.ie Official Server

So yea could be my connection with a storm but i was getting mad lag issues. Got killed by a zombie that wasn't there and heard an explosion but took no damage and saw none.

I was the only on the server so i think i may have caused creeper damage but can't find it

Just wondering but maybe could we have a poll or begin to discuss starting a clean map again? I for one would be in favour of it!

But I think we should stop the run and build a house on top of your neighbours sorta thing that's happened the last few maps!

I think we should do it like the second map;

1. Build an outpost and gather supplies, no permanent houses.
   
2. Spend awhile to search for a good spot for the town and have a vote on it.
   
3. Use screen shots and the like to make up basic plans for the town, lay out the roads and community stuff (This will give people with specific jobs a chance to actually do them well!)
   
4. Lay out nicely sized plots of land and space them nicely so people aren't on top of each other.

Also, maybe try and come up with a kind of building code/theme for the main town? Like middle ages town with a big wall or something

But the code would have to be stuck to! No point having a great town wall and loads of themed houses if one person goes and builds a big pink wool block of a house... so it would have to be voted on first!

I think all this might help to stop people getting bored cause it sort of stretches out the building of the town, cause the last one was finished in a few days, this way people will spend ages at it, it will be easy to navagate, and people will be more involved with it since the community stuff will be done first! for example, the town wall would be made before anything for a middle ages town.

Just an idea anyway...

I see your point there Blay, and it's cool if you want to live out in the wilderness, but I think the second map (the 1.7 one as I call it) worked really well cause the great cherryghost made us all stop, not build straight away, and take it slow and enjoy building something that we could all play in.

The only thing that has to be done well is the ops and admins have to take control and say, "hey you! stop building! there's a town hall or whatever going there!". They'd make sure people were following the agreed plans, and If some people have no intention of living in the town such as your self, then they can head straight off and do as they please, but shouldn't expect to be able to come in and criticise

Also, +1 on the people building right in front of your stuff, especially out in the middle of nowhere! There should be some kinda rule allowing whoever was there first to tell the invade to kindly f**k off! Or dismantle his house if he says no!

Any thoughts of making the server a FactionServer or roleplaying,
Will there be town planners et all on this server

Dunno about roleplaying, wandering around doing your own thing is more interesting I think,

And I hope there will be planners and such, so we can get a nice, well layed out functional town
