[lovey title]Whirlwind's Dead Body Challenge[/lovey title]

People seemed to like the idea, so I went ahead and made the server official.

About: I keep reading about people who want these super original servers and never do anything about it. So I started looking at online games that would be cool to remake in Blockland. I finally found a game called Victor the Nth, where every time you died, your body would help your descendant to solve puzzles (though people related this more with the game "The Company of Myself").

And so, the idea was born and a topic posted:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=241057.0

After positive reviews from the forumers and spontaneously having 30 players on the server, I decided to make this a full fledged project.

Gameplay: Every time you die, you leave a stone body behind (with your likeness). It will retain whether you are standing or crouching. You use your past lives to help you solve puzzles.

IMPORTANT: You are also supplied one Cyanide Pill, which will kill you when taken. "But I can just ctrl-k and don't need the Self Delete pill." Yes, BUT when you are crouched with the shift key, you cannot use ctrl-k because the computer thinks you are doing ctrl-shift-k. That is why you need the pill.

wow this is actually a really neat concept.

bring in some challenge maker professionals and get some real challenging challenges going

have an on-statue-touch>statue>kill  event i think you have one right?

that's a really neat idea, i like it

props for an original server

Wow, this is a really original gamemode. Great work! And when are the admin applications gonna be open?

anyone who applies for admin is doing it for the wrong reason

Why am I in the credits. I'm barely online anymore.

Decided to make my own level, here's a screenshot:

I can solve the crouch problem by binding it to another key...

This would be a lot better if a crouched bot's collision actually fit the body (flat rectangle instead of a tiny square). Cool nevertheless.

Decided to make my own level.

Neat level design, I might add that later on, but i want to exhaust all possible uses of the bodies (tower, bridge, boat, etc.) before getting to the same old repetitive walk and die, walk and die.

Suit yourself.

I can solve the crouch problem by binding it to another key...
True that's one way, but why go through the trouble of rebinding your stuff when you can just use an item.

Wow. This is a really good idea. I hope it turns out well, server-traffic-wise. Nice job used-to-be-Noobinator  =)

I approve of this server.

This would be a great idea if you didn;t have to rely on no greifers joining and blocking the spawns and course with hundreds of bodies.

This is a fantastic idea. I love it... except for "That level"...
