Fort Notch is back

[Clockwork]

Hi everyone,

Fort Notch minecraft server is now back (Website coming when I can be arsed).

Having thought this through, the old server had too many plugins, and too many rules requiring a lot of admin work. This got me thinking, and I have found a plugin which basically allows the server to run itself without needing admins etc.

The plugins is factions. For those of you who don't know how they work, here it is in a nutshell:

1) Individual users can have a maximum of 10 power, and a minimum of -20 power.

2) For every 24 hours a user is not online, they lose 1 power. For each 5 minutes they are online, they gain 1 power.

3) Individual users can create their own faction, or join another faction. If they create a faction, they become the faction owner.

4) Factions can claim land which is protected. This is done automatically based on the number of power. For example, if a faction had two members (Bill and Ben), who both had 10 power each, the faction in total would have 20 power, allowing the faction to claim 20 chunks. If a user in the faction dies, they lose 1 power. This does not mean they will lose their land, but if they had claimed 20 chunks, and only have 19 power, it leaves 1 chunk vulnerable to being claimed by another faction.

5) Factions can ally with other factions, or become enemies.

6) Faction land is protected. Only those in a faction can build on their own land.

As a result of this plugin, griefing is not possible. If you invite someone into your faction and they grief, kick them out. Be careful who you invite as faction owner. You can set factions to be invite only or allow people to join free will. Command usage on link above. Happy minecrafting.

Pure, simple, survival minecraft.

/f list,ls *[page] – Show a list of the factions
/f show,who *[faction tag] – Show detailed information on a certain faction

/f deinvite,inv [player name] – Remove a pending invitation
If your faction is closed invitations are required to join the faction.

/f autoclaim [faction=your] – Start auto-claiming land as you walk around
/f unclaim, declaim – Unclaim the land where you are standing
The area claimed is a minecraft “chunk”. It is an 16×16 area all the way from bedrock to the sky. If you are claiming territory from another faction you must start at the border. Only faction moderators and admin can do this.
/f owner *[player name] – Set/remove ownership of a 16×16 claimed territory. If a player name is specified, that player will be added or removed from the owner list for the territory. If no player name is specified, it will either set ownership to the player running the command (if no owners are currently set) or completely clear ownership of the territory.
/f ownerlist – View a list of owners for the current area. Only works inside your own faction’s territory.
/f kick [player name] – Kick a player from the faction.
Faction moderators can kick normal players but not eachother. The faction admin can kick moderators though.
/f mod [player name] – Give or revoke moderator rights to one of the members of the faction. You must be faction admin to do this.
/f admin [player name] – Hand over your admin rights to another member. Note that you are really handing it over. You will not be admin for the faction any longer. You will be turned into a moderator, but the new admin could kick you any time.
/f title [player name] *[title] – Set or remove a players title. This serves special meaning. It’s just fun and allows you to “promote” players.

[Johan.]

PM'd, just for today

[Clockwork]

Okay. Just an update.

The concept seems to have worked well. 10+ active players with 3 (2 of which are very active) factions. Server seems to be coping fine as well. Don't worry, backups will be made this time when they are configured tomorrow to an external server, but the server is on RAID 1 anyway should a HDD fail.

[KaraK [T]]

There is a nether, right?

[[TC-R] Mikee]

SuperDong is where its at!

[Clockwork]

Street, that mob spawner is crap

[Clockwork]

Superdongs - All your base are belong to us.

[KaraK [T]]

How? D:
Afaik we never had less power than land?

[[TC] Brad]

The base doesn't belong to them at all. I've looked at the damage and it seems they fired TNT from close wilderness - I have since claimed the land all around our base to prevent it. I don't know how they got to the crops to take them, but I did see an open door in the basement.

Whatever dong left the door open, Imma get Mikee to rape you.

[[TC] Crille]

They have blewed their way in etc. But dont think they have been able to claim any land. I tried holding them off but just managed to kill Tom and someone else

Edit: Brad check the place where my treefarm is, seams like they got in through there.

[Clockwork]

Dirty tactics Brad - cheeky git

[Aus]

Thanks for the land, Chieftains.

If only you had waited one day more
