    My favorite style of play in Singleplayer Minecraft is the Nomadic style... traveling from place to place without stopping to create a home or shelter. This style appeals to me because of the ever changing enviroment and adventure, something that farming pyumpkins all day seems to lack!

    Fior this new game users will have to travel from one town to another in as short as time possible... we already have a possible first town... Glooble's town!

    The user will have to start only with as much to fill the bottom bar of your inventory, a mere 9 slots. Afer the journey begins the user may pick up and use as many supplies as they would like.

    Currently we are still looking for towns to offer there boundries as checkpoints to gather more resoureces and start and finsish lines for the competition.

    Any mayors that could apply would be awesome! You will be reinbursts with increased traffic in your town and a portion of the money that the game collects!

    Maybe if we get enough towns to participate we could even have a chest full of special items in every town that must be gathered back to the start as fast a possible!

    Hope everyone dosen''t think this is a bogus idea!

    Sincerely, peder5

    P.S Here is the chart for all of the choosen checkpoints and start and finish locations plus all the materials that need to be collected to pass each checkpoint (Mayor of town gets to choose and keep the materials)

    Start: (I think Glooble is here... not sure that I need defininite conformation)

    Checkpoint 1: Zardgyer (Need to collect 10 coal)

    Checkpoint 2:

    Finish: Zaneus

    (amount of checkpoints could change, I think 1 to 2 would be goodthough...)

    Apply for a spot by simply putting your...

    This sounds interesting, but wouldn't most just run from one town to the next, and not stop? It seems as if the one person who ran the most consistently fast would always win. Still, this game does sound fun :D Consider FortOcelot as one of your towns checkpoints.

    I'd offer my city as a checkpoint, but it is in the middle of the ocean so I'm not sure how much use it will be to you.

    We could have them gather certain supplies in the wild and then drop them off at the end. This would force them to go out of their way to gather special item not found in the server store... IDK what those are though....

    That may actually be a good spot for a checkpoint because of the difficulty of navagating there...

    Re: [New Game!] Nomadic Journey! Mayors needed!

    I could offer my town Somptueux and my soon to be second town, LeMieux. This sounds like a really interesting idea and would be fun to be in. You could have it that players must do special challenges between each check point like the 'Amazing Race' on TV.

    I really like that idea. It seems that we would really have to think about this. Another great event that will take TONS of planning :D

    It would be really cool if you or someone else stood at the entrance of each town and they had to bring you something different like a diamond or some wood or just something like that if you know what I'm saying.

    Re: [New Game!] Nomadic Journey! Mayors needed!

    Love all o these ideas. I especially like the idea of doinf different things between checkpoints.
    The only problem will be to make sure nobody has anything on them so they can cheat... :(

    It seems like I might need some help with this project so... would any of you guys like to help?

    Re: [New Game!] Nomadic Journey! Mayors needed!

    Yes possibly, depends on whether you, 1, will be start checkpoint, or finish point (More for start and finish).
    2, if you will supply possible supplies to the competiors (checkpoints only)

    I'm thinking that if we have the players pay 5k for entry fee, every mayor selected (I would say we need about 3-5 depending on distance) would get payed 5k... really depends all on how much interested we have in people who want to compete...

    Really would like to get this started so I am going to put a choosen town / mayors list in the first post...

    EDIT: I decided, to make it simplier, all towns a mayor has in the relay will get 10% of total profits. (Subject to change) More info in first post of topic! :D

    Also like this idea... anyone have suggestions for what items could be found between checkpoints?
    Also, how can we tell if a person has "secretly stashed" items in his inventory for the race?

    Reason you want to be apart of this game: It seems cool also I have some good ideas for tasks :p
    Yes or no? You will be content with a payment of exactly 10% of the games total earning (could change depending on how sucessful game is) : Yes, although for a challenge I have an idea
    Yes or no? Will you be interested in becoming a long time checkpoint, start, or finish point for the Nomadic Journey Game?: Sure I can't commit as of now though, I would like to see how the first one goes.

    It may be a problem that there is absolutely nothing in my town as of now and its in the middle of nowhere. This could be a good thing though as I would be willing to let you guys use it as a start or finish or check point and edit it completely. /msg me in-game and we can talk more.

    EDIT: sorry for double post, its not really doing any harm though as this forum is kind of dead unfortunately.

    Ok you're in... I think, since you have such a open town, I'll put you as the finish...

    Also, new idea, to cross a checkpoint you will have to place a itme in a box with only your name on it. Locked with me/mayor of that town/ and ine of the competiors. You will not be allowed to pass to the next xheckpoint without that item and you would end up haveing to come all the way back if you did forget the item...

    Also in... :D
    First checkpoint I believe...

    Both of you can also choose what item you would like the players to collect to pass a checkpoint... we'll have like 25 players in one race so you might get a lot of that item if you ask for it....

    Use my towns for this anytime.

    Good idea on the player getting killed before to ensure empty inventory. They can pre pack a chest at the start point with a referee added to the chest using /codify name
