Goose's Faction Server 2 - Go Away Popillil Edition - Games

This looks like fun THEACEATTOURNEY Add me to the whitelist, Im looking for a good server and this looks like it could be really nice. Edit: I think ill make my own faction. "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" sounds good.

Emeralds as server-wide currency would be really cool and immersive. It's an item that really has no use or value aside from trade. I'd hate to have a separate currency unless we absolutely have to.

is there any way to be able to convert emeralds to money and make that the only way to get money? i know there was a plugin that did that for other minerals

I mean, yeah, it should be a pretty low exchange rate but not that low. Maybe even have it inflate/deflate as people acquire more! Oh god I'm jizzing at the thought of that, if it's even possible. Also, while we're on the topic of currency. Are we going to have to purchase land this time around or no? I personally don't think we should have to, it made it too hard for smaller factions to become bigger, and contributed to the whole super factions absorbing all the small factions.

I would like to get whitelisted, alongside some friends. IGN(s) FuryMcFlurry - Xylometazol - Donvitoo Thank you in advance

Will we have server events like this again? [img]http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3357/frosttower.png[/img]

That event was one of the better times of the server, I just remember all the major factions banding together, whether or not they were enemies. Was p awesome.

If emeralds were currency, you'd have to wait until you found a village to anything. If we artificially inflated them, then everything at villages would be ridiculously cheap.

Emeralds as a currency is a bad idea. Trading shit for (other) useful shit is tried and true.

Whitelist me please! mcguinness9

Whitelist me and a friend, please? user is sand4t and Axisofaj

Trading shit for (other) useful shit is tried and true.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Beacon_Block[/url] And as for the concern about finding a village: our map has plenty that aren't hard to find. Either way it looks like I'm going to have to use the old money system. I want something physical because then people can't just store all their money into the faction bank and never worry about losing it. There needs to be a risk involved I feel. And removing the money completely is not an option, or else people will be able to claim and unclaim at will, without any consequence. Land is and should be valuable. Showcase is also apparently dead which sucks dick. The stand alone version works, but that's just for display purposes. Might have to get that and a chest shop plugin. Also, factions allows you to give ownership of you factions claimed chunk to ANYONE. So markets owned by a single faction can still give building rights to a chunk away to someone else in another faction, while still physically owning it as territory. Ignore any typos. Typing on my iPhone is a pain. [editline]21st August 2012[/editline] Also, I have to make sure it works right, but being someone's ally now means that they can treat your land as theirs, along with chests, doors, etc, as long as your faction is online. They can't mess with shit if you're offline.

Question, large biomes?

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;37342824]Question, large biomes?[/QUOTE] Of course.

Allies can access chests? Oh boy.

How about using gold as currency? Gold really has no use, its rare and makes sense since its a precious metal. It would be nice to have to mine for it as well.

Also, I'm starting to lose faith in making a faction if a large one just buys out all the land ane eventually absorbs mine. I know for a fact the USBR and the Iron faction are going to be the largest from the start, and I don't really want to liquidate into them.

[editline]21st August 2012[/editline] also I've never seen any faction in both Goose's and SKS's buy insane quantities of land. it's usually just not beneficial since it's just more area you'll have to build on and defend.

It drives me nuts how all the big factions always attack little guys right away, it's stupid. As long as you're not building right on top of us, we'll let you be.

Any pictures of the new map?

Could you possbily make it to where allies can't access chests when the faction is offline?

[QUOTE=Shirky;37344724]How about using gold as currency? Gold really has no use, its rare and makes sense since its a precious metal. It would be nice to have to mine for it as well.[/QUOTE] gold is very useful now with the new enchanted golden apples

Moving this to next page so people actually see it woo

How much money would we start out with?

I think a faction should star out with enough money to claim at least 4 plots of land.
