Hello everyone
As you know I am Crispon and I am a new member of the RoS community.I decided to do the following in order to give something back to the community.
Those of you that read my Approval Application probably know that I used to have my own mini server for close friends ( 20 slot server , nothing serious ). On this server , I occasionally used to create custom dungeon events with lore etc in order for the players to have fun.The main idea is that I built a Dungeon with full backstory ( not just run , press pressure plate , win ) and then ask who wanted to participate on it. We then used to decide a day and a time that all participants could attend and then we would get into a skype call and start the Dungeon , solving the quests involved etc. My role on that call would be to supervise the "run" , help avoid mistakes that would ruin the experience etc.Obviously each dungeon is one time thing because , just like quests in RPGs , it loses its "magic" the second time because you know the puzzles and all.
So I would really like to create on of those dungeos for the players of this server and have fun all together.The problem is that because they have lore and backstory , they need to be well made in order for everything to fit in so I need Creative Mode in order to do this.I can assure you that if I you decide to go through with this and provide me with Creative Mode , I wont use it in any way for personal gains or anything bad at all.I would do it in survival mode but it is really impossible to be done due to the nature of the dungeons as I already stated.
I cannot be sure about the time that it will take me to build such a Dungeon because many things have to be taken into account . Even though the build itself isnt a massive one , it needs time because I usually build on the spot. What I mean with this is that I build one day let's say the first part of the quest/dungeon and then I have to stop in order to think how the story will continue. So I'd say it might take me about a week to finish something like this.
Edit: Forgot to mention that these builds will take place at a random , disclosed part of the world . They wont be at spawn. Obviously this will happen for 2 reasons. First it is to avoid spamming the spawn with a build that has nothing to do with the spawn town . Second , the players must not be able to see what is being built because that would ruin the experience by already knowing what they will have to face.
I'd really like your opinions on that . Most of you , you know me and you know that I have already dedicated a lot of time and effort on this server so I wouldnt do anything to mess this up. All will be done in the name of entertainment.Needless to say that the dungeons well were received from the players and I got nice comments from them.This means nothing though because we all were close real life friends so yeah
Below this line , I will answer questions (by editing the post) that you might wanna ask me about this event in order for you not to need to look into the comments for my answer. You can find the replies down below at the reply section in the form of QUOTES. (except my first reply , this is only here) .

Well what you say is totally valid and I agree.The thing is that I LOVE pranks and with that I mean that I also respect them.Pranking people in creative is at least pointless in my opinion if not totally wrong. (hope I made sense here).I dont have a problem with someone supervise me but this would very hard to do because of the timezones and not a steady schedule on both ends.
For the diamonds , I think I made it clear from day one on the server that I really dont care about wealth , I am here to have fun etc .The only diamonds that I have are from my basement diiging 2 days ago and that's all.Right now , I'm kinda rich ingame but I really dont care about this. The only wealth that to be honest I care in fact are emeralds and that is because of the Villager Shop but I already have enough of them by trading and I can always get more the same way I got the ones I have already.
In any case , I can assure you that I wont provide myself with anything and not cause any kind of problems.Obviously you cannot just take my word on this but keep in mind that I have put a lot of effort both on the server and on my base , I am one of the most active players and I wanna believe that this says something about my intentions.Also I am 23 years old , I dont have time to look for new server all over again

I didnt say I dont want to be supervised , I said it might be hard. Also building in my creative and then upload might be an option but I have a very small upload speed which might be a problem. Finally , getting access to the event server and building there would be ideal , but I dont really know if this is possible because I have no idea how the event server works . Like if it is always online or whatever.So we will have to wait for an admin to come online.
But even though it is ideal to build on the event server for your safety concerns , there is something that troubles me a little . nothing big but you will understand.Due to the backstory , the lore and the nature of the events / dungeons it would be nice if they were on our map so the players can visit them afterwards if they want as reminder of their adventure.A relic of what they did (not sure if this is the correct term). That in the end would have as a result that we will end up having a map with some cool places to visit , those being all the dungeons that will have been made.Kinda like a museum of your adventures if you will?

Even though there will be some kind of loot , nobody spoke about loot . I meant the dungeons themselves would be nice to exist in our world.And yeah the loot (whatever that will be) wont be anything custom.It will be normal items that will serve a roll in your quest or items that makes sense for you to be rewarded with them according the quest. Small example (and stupid but simple one) is that if you play demon related story you can expect to get items on that theme...I cannot explain more in order not to spoil anything but be sure that you dont have to worry about loot.I will be cool enough so you will be happy to get it I guess but it will also be not that important and obviously nothing overpowered or game breaking as long as your real reward will be the quest itself and the fun that you will get out of it.

About the not building stuff in creative on the SMP server.I feel the same about this but when it comes to community building or personal projects because yeah , those have to be made into survival to be legit because they are supposed to be made by the players.BUT think of the Dungeons as something that is not supposed to be made by the players.Think of it like something that you found out while exploring , kinda like ocean , desert , jungle temples and strongholds but bigger and with lore.These arent made by the players.What I'm trying to say with this is that I also want everything on the SMP to be build in survival but that goes for everything that is there to HELP the players and most importantly is supposed to be made by the players. A Dungeon is supposed to be something that a player finds as a part of the map and not something player-made therefore shouldnt be considered as something you should build in survival.But well that is my view on this and I'd like to hear yours as well
BTW these structures will be far away from the spawn or even areas close to spawn (imagine like 6-7k blocks away , so they wont really interfere with the player's stuctures or something.I mean if it worries you that you will log in and see a structure that was made in creative in the middle of the spawn or something , you shouldnt worry about it.They will be placed this way , that the only way that you can see them is to travel to them on your own.
About building on the Event Server.Well as I already mentioned , there is really no technical problem with building on the event server.They only problem (that for some might not even be a problem and can easily be bypassed) is that if we build those on the SMP server , they will become a part of the map's and the players' history. Kinda like monuments of what you have done on the server.Imagine an RPG , that you clear a dungeon and you leave it after it and then it disappears and you cannot visit it again to .Isnt that bad? In my opinion , It would be nice if those structures were a part of our main map so if a player wants to visit it again after the event , in order to take a better look or to show it to someone or whatever , he could do that.
As I said this is my personal view on the matter and I'd like to hear yours too.
