Capture the flag

[Finbarr]

Hi every body its Finbarr.

Recently I had an idea. There are two teams. each team goes to the southern wilds and builds a fort that faces the other teams fort. then each team builds a colorful flag on thier parapits. each team trys to get the enemy flag useing tnt swords and bows. first team to destroy the enemy flag wins.
we would need permission from the server.

let me know what you think.

 

[Pirapple]

Can you give me an example.

 

[Finbarr]

What kind of example?

 

[Pirapple]

Of how it works.

 

[Finbarr]

Oh ok

So it would be like capture the flag. But instead of capturing the enemy flag and bringing it back to yours you have to enter the enemy fort and destroy thier flag by smashing it with a pickaxe or something. In the game for weapons you would use swords and bows and stuff but you would also try to plant and detonate tnt next to your opponents wall hopefully blowing a gap so you can enter thier fort. Like how the Urakhai blow up the wall at helms Deep in LOTR.

Wow i like the idee we could maybe try it

Okay, so is there a list of rules? For example the use of obsidian in fort structures would completely break the game as you cannot blow it up and there is no way you can mine it quick enough before someone kills you. What would the "flag" be made out of? Considering that you need to spend a little bit of time breaking it so that one quick rush wont win the game. How much time do the players have before they can start to pvp? If there isnt one it will just be a mosh pit without the forts being built. Is there a limit on what can be built and how much material is used? Do the players provide materials or is it admin spawned?

Things like that.

I have an idee for the flag you can obsidian and the blocks in the colour of your team and an hour to buil your castle that should be enough and for defence yiu can make arrow dispensers and tnt cannons

 

[grimm reaper]

An i should let the materials for castle and flag spawnd by asmin an for the rest provide it yourself

 

[grimm reaper]

And it should be like 10 vs 10 or 20 vs 20 but not more and maybe we could place a wall between otherwise the other team sees what yiu are doing

So, basically, it is a 10-20 v. 10-20 battle.

Spawned by admins
You start out without a castle, but a flag.
You then make a castle around the flag.

Players
Then the players attack each other and try to break the flag.

Am I right?

 

[grimm reaper]

Almost right the blocks for the castle are given by admins one adlin in every tea and for all the rest the playersvmust find suplies one ther one

Sounds fun, a bit like that football idea someone had a couple of weeks back. Snipero1, I think. We should do more things like this, methinks. Also, any rules in terms of weapons etc.?

 

[grimm reaper]

I have also many ideas

 

[Spark]

Isn't this pretty much Walls?

 

[grimm reaper]

Yeah but otherwisevthe other team can see what you are doing and that is not fair

 

[Finbarr]

Sorry about not replying quickly

I am glad you are pretty enthusiastic about my idea. I think the whole thing about the materials being admin spawned is a great one, people cant be expected to to use hard won blocks on structures that wont be around very long As far as weapons are concerned I think anything goes. But maybe there should be a limit on how much tnt each team gets ( maybe 10 blocks each team ) that way people arnt explosion happy.

Where each team puts its flag is their decision but no burying it and no walls directly around the flag. The flag has to in a viewable position.

An hour to build a fort is sufficient time I agree with that Your fort cant be more than 50 blocks high, and your fort has to be made out of stone blocks. The flag should be maybe 8 by 5. And should be made out of wool so that it can be brightly colored. Each team has to make their own flag.

The idea about putting up a wall between the two opposing teams sounds cool . it might take to much time.
Maybe instead of a wall there could be a hill or rocks between the forts. Like a Halo 4 map called Ragnarok in the map you cant really see your opponents fort due to a huge rock/dirt pile but once you climb over it you can see the enemy fort clearly.

Thanks for posting your ideas

If you have any more ideas please post them.

I like the idea but what happened to the old arena? Wasnt it /ctf or something and you got taken to the big arena and put on teams. It would be awesome if we got that back!

As far as weapons are concerned I think anything goes.

The only downside about this is that players who have highly enchanted diamond weapons and bows will be untouchable to players without weaponry that can compare to that.

If I may make a suggestion, it would be that every player has the same equipment at the beginning, however I do not know how that would work when players die. Overall, though, I support this idea. Sounds fun!
