I had an idea today. So, we all know it, the first hunger games had about a bazzilion problems. There was a lot of pressure on mr. Public to s things he could not... within the bounds of ECC. So this is my idea. Given that andrew posts saying he will not ban me for advertising, i will set up my own server, ONLY for ECC users, so not really advertising, that will make the games much more successful due to the fact that i can install plugins for it. I have not set upthe server yet, so andrew please dont ban lol. Again. For ECC users ONLY.
My current idea is to have it also cost money in ECC for whitelist. As in, lets say 1k to play, 20k prize, 500 to spectate/ gain the ability to sponsor, things like that so it also helps people in ECC... if they wn :p
If you have any comments/questions/ plugins i sould look into, feel free to tell me. This is currently only the idea of an idea, so fire away :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~NEW INFO~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
found a good plugin for the games
need an invisibility plugin and a max flying height plugin if spectators are to be allowed
currently, these are my ideas on sponsorship. 24 tributes plus myself and 5 of my 'team members' will be on server unless i can find spectator plugins, and i will (most likely) stream my screen. 5 more 'team members' will be in ECC in a teamchat with us in the hunger server. all sponsorships will process through them. to become a sponsor will cost money. the people in my team and sponsors on ECC will be in a "town chat" in order to make sponsorships easier. a max number of sponsors per team member will be processed per minute, so lets say each team member will only process one or two a minute. no sponsorships will be accepted for the first two minutes of game to prevent spending on a dead tribute. to get a 'town chat' for this costs eco dollars. if you would like to donate to this, feel free, all money going directly towards it. I need $30,000 for the channel. or, if andrew wants to set up a "hunger games" channel for free because you (andrew) feel like it, that would be awesome, lol.
I need some opinions regarding the amount of RAM i will need to host 30 people lag-free, i have 8gb currently. if this is ( nowhere near ) enough or something, please tell me easy/cheap ways to either increase ram or rent a server. i will also be needing people to test everything with me before hand. or hey, if someone has a crazy ridiculous amazing computer and wants to host, tell me about it.
for now i am going to charge an entrance fee for the trouble this is going to cause me :p if i get enough guaranteed sponsors i may reduce/eliminate the fee for tributes.
want to be a team member? tell me here, i will choose based on %100 devotion to the games, as in logging off is NOT an option. i will need you.
tributes who die will spawn in a glass case above cornucopia, and changed into spectators when i get the chance. pm me, and i will change your perms once you die. or you can go back to ECC to tell everyone about how your dead. :p
DO NOT apply to be a tribute here. that will (eventually) be a separate thread in competitions.

i dont like the entry fee for the contestants because then why dont you just call it giant pvp survival competition or something
-
The entry fee is really to prevent a few things. First of all, non preventative, its a way for me to make 4k for the work i put in, minimum. Second, i want this to be for ECC users only, so this prevents people joining ecc for a day just to get into the games. It also gives people an incentive to play and not just give up. I might lower it, 1k is just an example, and what i will also do is add to the prize money a certain percent of all sponsorships. Remember, it is your choice to play. Look at the people who payed 10k to spleef.

Yea you could make like a half dome so no one can get in but people can spectate.
-
This would work so much better
I personally would love to be able to help build the arena and assist with anything that might need doing. I am Pretty skilled with WE and I can use some programs to edit in some things as. necessary -
Zwunder, feel free to worldedit a map and upload somehow. Here are main parameters i am looking for: mostly, if not all, natural landscape, the original spawn must be in a forest biome, but remove a circular area of trees for start and cornucopia, maybe a diameter of 50 blocks. In a (insert number here. Maximum of 500minimum of 200) and make circular or square area with bedrock for the walls from 0 to 100 on y axis. Preferably circular.
More info coming on sponsorships and whatnot as soon as i get to a computer. To tedious on nook. -
One problem with the last post. If you make it bedrock walls, people will not be able to see in snd the tributs will have no light. However, if youhave ever played the Ant Farm custom map, the creator made a texture pack that makes bedrock look like glass, so sun gets in, but peopel cant break it. If you make it out of bedrock, keep that in mind, and you could make a video on youtube that shows how to use it. (for all you minecraft noobs out there XD) I think this is a great idea, and if you need any help, send me a message.
Also, here is a link to the forum for thr Ant Farm map. (hopefully, Andrewkm doesnt think this is advertising :) ) http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/893338-surv-ant-farm-survival/ -
The only problem I see with this is that it still removes people from the ECC sever. Which in my view is the reason why people cannot advertise, because when number of players online matters... you need people on your sever to beef up that number.
While I like the idea, there are first a number of things we might be able to try to do before Andrew should be aware of this thread - of he isn't already. -
It will only really be removing about 30 people, and only for the duration of the games... idk. We'll have to wait for andrew's opinion on whether or not he will allow it.
One thing i will gaurentee is that it will be whitelisted, and shutdown during non-games time. -
I was thinking as a Solution to the bedrock was is having a glass flat roof on top so spectators can see in but it is tall enough that players cannot break out. And if they get a towns plugin then it can be a region that people cannot edit so noone can break the glass.
-
Yeah, i might get a towns plugin to make glass walls... and texture pack is client side, whoever suggested that. Too lazy to go back up and see :p
-
Really?? Lol, yes, ill have a roof put in as well.now that wouldnt be any fun at all. In my case, i was in the games too, my area of central cali near fresno had a blackout, and i logged back in after it was done, and heard the terrible tales. I was doing good too. :p
-
Here are some images from the Early stages of construction
The map is complete including a removal of an NPC Village but still needs some heavy World Editing. -
Awesome sauce! Your choice, i could do it one my stepfather stops being a and lets me back on, but next thing required is remove trees, make 24 starting platforms, and, you guessed it, wait. >.<
-
rabidworm
Yes, but if each person that was in it used that texture pack for just the one game they were in, they could change it back later, or right afterward with the optifine mod :D -
This will be on my personal servee, which is why im waiting to begin the real work until andrew approves or not. :p
