Older members will remember something involving Towns. Where players could live in different towns and declare war on each other. I'd like to reintroduce this with some slight differences. This is purely optional and will be done on this map. If you want to just play normally you still can. Or you can be neutral.
Current list of Nations
Nations
Players will be able to live together in a 'Nation'.
This Nation can declare war on other nations for open PvP. This is purely option, they can be completely neutral.
Each Nation can have a motto, coloured name, banner, description etc.
Nations can have allies who can help them attack/defend against enemy nations.
PvP
Players can only commence PvP with enemy Nations. They can fight against the enemy Nation at any time as long as they have two or more players online at the time.
Only armoured players of an enemy Nation can be attacked. This is to reduce weaker players being killed constantly, especially when building.
If you encounter an enemy Nation player who is armoured, you WILL be allowed to fight them.
No killing of AFK players.
Spawn killing will not be allowed.
Portal trapping is not allowed.
TNT is not allowed; neither is lava, as well as flint and steel.
Spawn is a place of safety. So is the Nether hub. These places are off-limits to PvP if you are playing along with Nations.
If a player from an enemy Nation is killed, you can take their PvP items ONLY. Bows, swords and armour can be taken. Nothing else.
Artifacts
This will be very similar to the 'Quadrants' system. Players in an enemy Nation can attack another Nation they have declared war on and steal their artifact. This artifact can be anything but has to be located in an item frame somewhere noticeable such as in a main building or in the middle of the Nation.
Once said artifact is stolen, it must be placed within close proximity to the thieving Nation's artifact. It can stolen back by the original Nation but only when players from both Nations are online. This is to ensure players don't wait until the server is quiet in order to take back the artifact.
A non-violent way of regaining the artifact is to pay a 'ransom'. This ransom will be determined by the Nation that has stolen the artifact and can be anything, as long as it's not ridiculous.
How to create a Nation
1. Have a base at least 50 blocks from the main area of Spawn.
2. Head over to this spreadsheet: List of Nations.
3. Add a comment somewhere on that spreadsheet with the name, motto, location etc. Someone will then add it to the spreadsheet officially.
4. Create a banner and post the link somewhere easy to see, such as here. Someone will add in the URL version of it.
5. You'll be granted the ability to edit in order to keep the spreadsheet up to date.
How to join a Nation
There are several ways to do this.
1. Contact the leader of the Nation via any means of communication.
2. Talk to citizens of the Nation.
3. 'On hand' Nations are open for anyone, so just go there and build. Message a moderator to be officially added to the Nation then.
Borders
A Nation cannot build within 200 blocks of another Nation unless agreed upon.
I still have a lot of things to add, but I'll add the rest in later. I don't want to restrict this too much, so please tell me if there's something here you do not like.
