Author Topic: So I had an idea...  (Read 2044 times)

So I was bored not watching the Super Bowl today, and I was also playing Blockland. I decided that I wanted to make a server, but didn't know how to make it different than the rest of the other clones of TDM, RPs, or Freebuilds. So, here's what I came up with.

My server will be up for greater than or equal to two and a half hours a day, and usually 5+ hours during the weekend. During this time, each player will be able to get SIX, and only SIX 64x64 baseplates, for a total of a 384x384 building surface; it should be enough room, and if not, make due with it anyways. On this place, the player will get to build his or her own area for a small free for all deathmatch consisting of 12 or so players. At the end of the month, building will stop, and judging will begin. The community will pick which "map" they would like to play on, and after 5 days of voting, the winner will be announced.

Once the winner is announced, the map will be hosted for one week in the form of a free-for-all deathmatch.

Now, why would people waste their time you ask? Well this is where you guys come in. With your help, I would like to get together some of the popular players from Blockland, such as xC, Wicked and other popular server hosts. These select people will play on the hosted map occasionally, promoting the server's popularity.

Once the week of playing is over, we will get back to building another mini map for the next voting session.

So, thoughts? I'd like some trusted people to assist me as admins as well, so hit message me on AIM or PM me if you're interested in helping me out.

Cheers!

Seems like a good idea, I might drop by.

Also, you're not getting Badspot to come, EVER. And I wouldn't want Tezuni there if I were you.

Yeah, Badspot seemed like a bit of a stretch, but why not Tez?

Badspot joined Pandan's server, and called the DM lame. So the same might happen with yours.

Most people dislike Tezuni.

Ah, okay.

More feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I would defiantly be willing to try this. I'll give it a shot when it's up.

I can have it up right now, but I'm busy editing some photos so I'll be AFK.

Server'll be named

"The Mau5's Contest Freebuild"

If anyone has knowledge about admin commands (E.g. how to put a welcome message) and can help me run the server it would help me out a ton.

Still taking comments, but I'm going to go through with this. I'm searching for knowledgeable admins, but I have the gist of most of it down. Come to my server if you want to be considered as one.



Is it alright if I suggest the weapons to be used in the DM I create?

how come you cant get badspot to come? he plays blockland,right?

Sure, but not often.
He wouldn't come to the server probably because he's got other stuff to do.

Server'll be back up for 10 more minutes or so.

Yes, I can include them in the add-ons if you tell me which ones you would like.

Because we know he wont come.
He rarely joins other servers.
When he plays, 95% of the time he's in his own server.

It has been said that he does play on another ID without letting anyone know he's Badspot, but that wont do the server much good.


@Hysterio:

Here's another idea:
