Fort Wars, what to avoid.
Gadgethm:
In most of my servers, including my fort war, I have spent days trying to make it so that many rules did not have to be closely watched. For instance, instead of a "NO USING CHANGEDATABLOCK OR MINIGAME EVENTS" I simply use Script_DisableEvents to make it impossible to use said events. In the Fort War case, I even whipped up a little host only changedatablock event so that I could make a builder class. Unlike most builder classes, this one can't kill or be killed, and must change back to fighter in order to enter the fray. I figure, the whole "builder" idea is good in theory, but unless you can effectively enforce it, it's useless.
tl:dr Just wanted to show that if the host took some effort to properly control their server, many fort wars could be a lot better.

Good idea, HOWEVER(Yes there is always a however ;D) if a person keeps blowing up your build won't you get a bit annoyed?(If you can't destroy bricks then...enjoy your eventers trying to find ways to stay in safety permanently and shoot at people from inside their bases.

"I almost got him!" *Teles back to base* so fair

So, the only times you could teleport back to base is to type out a chat message. Well, that's how I do it. But, by the time I type out that message, I'm dead.

Which most of the bad ones don't do.
Dread:
When I'm hosting FortWars, I keep VCE enabled, state what not to do in the form of a Rules Station, and simply permaban anyone who's stupid enough to break said rules more than once, resulting in less future problem customers.
