Possible Server Event Idea

So, my suggestion is instead of just announcing when a server is going to be shutdown then shutting it down we have some sort of event where we send the server off with a "Blast". Basically what I'm proposing is for a certain set period of time before a server is shut down we basically have a sort of Purge event where griefing is not only allowed but encouraged but that's the only rule that would be voided during the event all other rules would still apply since we are a child friendly community after all. I've seen this done to great success on a different network I used to play on before I discovered MYM and thought I'd bring it up to the community.

Obviously people can decide if they want their claims to be effected by the event or not but I'd love to see a event where the community gets together and blows up the spawn

 

I'm 100% down for a purge. Since the world can be saved beforehand, I feel like this could be a fun community event to really let loose.

 

I think this is an awesome idea as well. If and when it does go down, I'd also love to see some creativity; not just primitive use of Draconic Staves of Power on everybody's base, but glorious war! Delicate explosions, set to go off only when somebody is present! Intricate traps, tricks, and mischief! Don't let me down, oh wonderful MyMers!

 

Tbh, I shan't download pack for, idk, few hours or 1 day to "celebrate" the closing the server by destroying it.

I would rather fly around and see what ppl build but how i can do that when some1 else turned nice base into smoking hole after blasting 1000 tnt?

 

This kind of event would encourage destructive behavior and griefing, so some might think why stop ? Why not do it on live Servers ?
If someone likes to see things go boom, use your own claim and buildings or use Farmworlds.
About griefing, this should be a NOGO, always, with no exception.

 

I understand the concern, I can actually speak to this.
I used to own a server with a strict no griefing policy. I would throw up side servers that lasted a month or two for events or random modpacks, and would always throw a mass-destruction party before closing it. This event never caused spikes in griefing on the permanent servers, as people were able to differentiate the correct and incorrect times to grief and blow stuff up. We still have rules in place, and I trust our players to follow them.

 

On top of this, I think it would discourage people from breaking the rules to grief, when they could simply wait for the server event to go up instead.

 

IF they stay long enough to end of server. Most ppl play 1 pack for 2-6 weeks, gets bored play different game or other pack. So i dont think ppl Will wait for Such events when they appear So rarely

 

My point was that it will most likely discourage griefing.

 

I'd like to volunteer Infinity servers for this idea. Especially since i dont play infinity xD

 

For one, I'm not a fan of this idea, because I enjoy infinity. For another, it won't happen anyway, because infinity is quite popular.

 

Ween need node 2 for infinity and start with a blast ;p

/tnt, /nuke, pvp on kit with op items and then make new/regen map ;p

 

I'm working on a project that will allow us to regenerate unoccupied regions in the infinity overworld, about 80% of the world can be repaired in this manner. This should extend infinity's lifespan quite a bit. Expect results in a week at most!

 

better double check for unlcaimed projects
I cant tell how many times i saw ppl not claiming stuff bc they leave MC but returns eventually

 

Not claimed, their fault. Claim your shizzle or dont whine afterward if its gone.

 

The problem with this would be that it goes against our own rules, griefing etc is disallowed regardless of claims.
