Mob apcolypse

[harark1]

No Maxloader this is not the tnt idea.

Okay since people are saying there's a apocolpyse coming so we have to get on the arc and leave to a new map. I thought lets's have an apcolpyse event. Okay first of course backup the server and move the the arc onto the new map, that must be done before everything else to be able to post the map and prevent damages.

The idea:
Get a bunch of people at spawn, and the admins create a lot of mobs in the center of the spawn point. The players and any admins that wish to participate engage in a huge epic battle until either everyone has died or the mobs are destroyed.

What I need for this:
1. A bunch of people
2. Atleast one admin to spawn mobs.
3. A bunch of leather armor, stone swords, bows and arrows. (To equip the players with)
4. Maxloader's permission.
5. And a whole ton of mobs.
6. A glass room above spawn and changing the spawn point to up in the room when the battle starts.

The Plan:
Once everyone attending is at spawn, an admin will change spawn point to up in the glass room. After someone dies they respawn above the battle in the glass room so they can still watch but can't fight(Kinda like going to heaven). Everyone is equipped with full leather armor, a stone sword, and a bow with 1 stack of arrows. Hopefully the equipment can be spawned by the admins for the event(Everyone is gonna die anyway so no one gets any items from the event)
The battle continues until everyone participating is either up in the glass room because they died or the set number of mobs has been defeated. (I'll wait to set up the number of mobs once we get permission and figure out how many people are participating.) If everyone dies the admins will /butcher all the mobs to get rid of them.

The Rules:
1. During the battle no one that participates can leave spawn (Other then to go to the glass room) and no one not participating can enter spawn just to prevent cheating.
2. Admins that participate can not spawn items during combat or use god mode.
3. No one can bring items with them.
4. There are no rewards for this event. It is a team event between all the players of Maxloader versus the mobs of Minecraft and meant just to be fun.

I thought this sounded more fun then nuking the server and probably more acceptable.

why not just have everyone sleep in beds in the glass room? also why not give it an objective, like we have to fight our way to the boat and if you don't make it to the boat alive you get one less chest to bring shit over to the new map with.

[scope_ion]

I'm not bringing much over, I actually want everything to be new

[Der_Jakal]

I'm not bringing much over, I actually want everything to be new

at this point I don't plan on bringing anything over. I haven't even gotten a cabin on the boat

[Flamingshirt]

i would like it if everyone got at least a sword...
and yeah, an objective would be pretty cool. i dont know what the punishment should be though...

overheard this on skype. still a good idea =D

[Sooneey]

How would you get enough people online at the same time? Would it work better with mobspawners or /spawnmob commands? How many mob are you talking about?

But the main question is when would this happen? 10 minutes before the map switch? It would make far more sense to just build a pvm arena... right? Using pistons to push mobspawners up from the ground.

[Flamingshirt]

the guy got a point.

[Maxloader]

Im not that fond of these ex-cons having huge plans like this.
Also, they should just lay low.

[LumpyCustard7]

A mob arena might be a cool idea. I'd like to try to make one on the new server if an admin would spawn the spawners for me.

I might make it like cake defense, or I might request obsidian/bedrock and add creepers/ghasts to the mix. Of course, this would require permissions from Max and the other admins.
Since I'm not great at redstone (I vaguely know what memory cells are but I don't know how to wire them) I probably won't make an advanced score system, but I will probably wire dispensers that occasionally shoot out swords/armor/food.

This might be better left to Dreadseye however since he appears to have a great experience with redstone.

you don't ever have to ask an admin to do that for you again. according to ace, in a different thread, you can enchant tools to be able to pick up ice and spawners. You can work hard and go get them yourself now!

[LumpyCustard7]

you can enchant tools to be able to pick up ice and spawners

Sorry Jakal, but the silk touch enchantment was recently fixed. You can no longer grab mob spawners.

Even in the period of time when you could get them, however, when placed, they would only spawn pigs. Additionally, even if they did spawn the mob that they were originally supposed to spawn, I wouldn't be able to get creeper/ghast spawners since those do not occur naturally

Also, I forgot about blazes/slimes/magma cubes, and probably a few other mobs. Blazes are especially a pain; they are like ghasts except more lethal.

[harark1]

Okay first question: Max, what do you mean by ex-con? I've never done anything bad on the server. Other then that melon incident... XD

Sooneey: i was thinking of have about double-triple the number of mobs as players. I know a lot of the server members irl so I can pass word around and having this topic will help too. I pretty much just planned to set a date (Probally a day before map replacement, I want it to be close so damages to the map don't interfere with anything before map replacement, but not so close that we are rushed for time.) and spread word around to everyone to try to get as many people as possible. I think spawnmob commands would work better since we could control the exact number of mobs instead of random generation by the spawners.

I didn't really plan any reward or punishment but we could do like a survival match whoever survives the longest gets a diamond or something like that. I really presented a rough sketch at first of my idea. Objectives might be a good idea, but I'd have to think about that.

Mainly first before i get into any of the detailed planning I would like a yes or no on whether max would allow something like this being aware if creepers or ghasts are used there may be damage to the map(but it will be kept away from the arc, and the map will most likely be backed up before the event) and if any admins are willing to participate with spawning mobs and equipment for the event.

Oh and lumpy I already planned to add a PvE/PvP arena to the new map so if you want to help with that it would be awesome. I already got max's permission.

[wlollpop]

I've never done anything bad on the server.

no

[Maxloader]

U where once on the ban list, this makes u an ex con.

[Der_Jakal]

U where once on the ban list, this makes u an ex con.

He needs to add a teardrop tattoo to his skin for every week he was banned.

[Maxloader]

HAHAHAHAHA

This means you got raped to shit in prison

[Der_Jakal]

this is what happend

[Maxloader]

HAHAHAHA
like this?

[Pestilencemage]

Rape victem!? Around here, teardrop tatt represents a person you killed.

[Maxloader]

i heard from my colleagues...hmm maybe they where wrong...
or did i see it in some movie? probably not...

though i find it funnier to think they got raped

also: no capital letters, yay

[Der_Jakal]

actually I've heard it two ways, one for each life sentence they got, or one for each person they've killed. but they're both about the same.

[Midevele1]

now i truly understand the reason this asshole has teardrops on his face, now he uses hand soap

SUCK IT WHEEZY FANS!

[harark1]

Ummm... I've never been banned max. Unless wlolpop or ace2910 banned me. I bet they would do that. Wlolpop totally abuses his power and kicks me for no reason . But that isn't what this thread is about so can we please get back on topic.

[Midevele1]

oh heres a good one

[wlollpop]

1. I have only kicked harark as he admitted to greifing something
2. Ace and I would never ban anyone as a joke

[bulldog0411]
