Reposting PvP contest proposal:
>Title: All Out War
>General rundown: Siege PvP with a base-building + skirmish phase
>Proposed venues: Desert biome within (6632, 3444) or tundra biome within (9188, 1700), both near Faunalonia
BASIC RULES:
Build phase:
>1 or more allotted day(s) of base construction. Use any materials except blastproof materials; mark a respawn point with crying obsidian to /sethome on. Bases can only be built within the venue biomes.
>Bases can have underground portions, however only the surface-level structures will be considered for victory/defeat.
>Building an elaborate base is encouraged; underbuilt bases such as singular huts are likely to be easily destroyed and incurred as a loss
War phase:
>There are two proposed ways of going about this:
>One route is to have every member of each team start off with unenchanted iron armor and gear, with a designated general given unenchanted diamond armor and gear. Chests at their bases will have a limited supply of food, armor/gear, and explosives
>The second route is to have players start off completely bare. No items, no base chests. Players will have to gather resources and build gear on their own from scratch. Resource farms are banned in the base-building phase of both routes, but farms can be built in the war phase of this route. Loot crates in this route will have saplings, dirt and seeds.
>In either route, there will be loot crates that will provide a boost to a team's resources, ranging from ingots to TNT. Players are not allowed to stray off from the venue biome to gather resources.
>Teams are eliminated if more than 80% of the blocks in their base are destroyed. Last team standing wins.
PLANS:
>If interest is definitely checked, around 1 or 2 beta runs of the contest with only 2 teams will be held prior to the event proper. A diamond will be rewarded for each beta participant, with double diamonds for the winning participants.
>Rewards are TBA for the event proper, but it will definitely be much greater than a mere couple diamonds.
TL;DR:
build shit on one day
destroy each other's shit the next day
as well as some fine print shit to avoid cheesing via obsidian houses, etc.
