They can rush all they want. The point is to put distance. No competitive game has ever spawned enemies next to each other at the start of the game, so why start here.

I actually agree with Demon. ;o

I have no problem with rushing. kekekek

Though I have no problem with a "no attack until sunrise" rule, either.

How about simply not going below depth 0. That cuts off a lot of ambiguity.

Hiding is fine, since it means you're not exploring or fortifying, and thus falling behind.

Omg, Me, ME!

so btw.. how is this supposed to work?
we just start a new character and go into the map "guns ablazing"?

Make a new hardcore character in a new world.
Join red, blue, yellow, or green with the other 2 members of your team.
Go left or right (opposite of the other team).
Enable PvP when you're far enough.
Start gathering materials and other goodies.
Make a base and stuff.
Chaos.
???
Profit.

Oh and why does the OP say "Roles" for people who signed up? ;o

Actually I just meant a command to set server-side what it tells everyone is the spawn point, so it can be set before each team joins, giving each team an opportunity to place a bed (maybe provided for the team? just in case someone gets disconnected) and use it to set their spawn when they can. Default spawn would be reset to the default after all teams have set their spawns. If I do it at all, it will be the last thing, since it isn't really necessary (though maybe would help if we do more than 2 teams). Probably not complicated to implement, though, unless I try to do something to automate some aspect of it.

Other ideas mentioned already or that I've thought up:

- Team-specific NPCs by spawning NPCs on a per-team basis, flagging blocks based on which team placed them, and NPCs only picking houses made by that team.
- Possibly tweaking the world generator to make a more balanced world for 2-sided play with 2 jungles and 2 dungeons. Another option would be jungle and dungeon in the center, though that might make setting the starting spawn a necessity.
- Change default chat to party chat and use a special command for messages to all? (currently /p is party chat)

I didn't know there was party chat, and there's a good chance that this will be 3 teamed. I'm less worried about the dungeon balance than anything, as it appears to be unlikely that we'll get that far.
You have to sign up first (Are you signing up?)

Same thing to you shadow, are you playing?

@Inf, It says roles because I liked the way "roles and rules" sounded.

We could just use Steam voice chat if we all have mics.

Steam chat is terrible. Just use vent or teamspeak. >_>

I know like 3 different teamspeaks and a vent that we can use. I said in the OP that we would be using teamspeak. I'd imagine some may not have a mic. Well, I don't have steam.... But I do have a mic

I'll sign up for watching it.. don't want to actually be part of any team.. Just want to watch as a ghost.

I haven't had any problems with Steam's voice chat. My mic sucks anyway so it's not like it matters much to me, though.

Reminds me of FortWars: Source.

With sammy bailing we need 1 more person to hit 6!

Someone join and I'll love you forever!

It is 2:00 PM (at least)

We are currently waiting on Loveless, Shadowflare, and Azrael.Wrath.

Go to Shadow's server, port 7775

Edit: Azrael showed up.

I was able to get working tagging of walls to the team who placed them, which was fairly easy, but haven't been able to get team-specific NPCs working yet. We might be able to get away with increasing the maximum numbers of each town NPC for now if we have some building rules, like having no more than one empty room at a time, so you don't possibly steal the other team's NPCs.

I did get the default team chat worked out and adjusted the team chat colors to be more readable.

We're rescheduling due to no-shows and lack of plugins. Probably demon will be able to play first game after all ;D

I think it might be safe to say we might just end up doing it without plugins, just for a fun run.

Let's try this again...

SATURDAY 2:00 PM EST

I actually really like that font blown up, looks blocky and cool.

k.

I may or may not have dirty tricks in store.
