Your View: Conflict & War
Good afternoon ladies & germs, and happy Valentine’s Day to all.
It is that time of the year/map/whatever where we get to talk about a very divisive issue within our community - Conflict, and more specifically, War.
Over the years there have been many different rulesets and guidelines that various teams and admins have all tried to implement to fix the conflict cycle. However most, if not all, have fallen short. The current guidelines are no exception. We as a team do recognize the issues with the current system in place and want to help fix that. I’m not going to sit here and claim that I’m going to lead the Moderation team to the promised land and create a conflict system that is perfect. By no means do I expect to achieve such a feat. To do so would really be unachievable in the scope and limitations that we operate, both mechanically as a minecraft server and with our server ideals.
What we do hope to achieve is to create some sort of base system that can be easily modified and tweaked as time goes on that will not require a full rewrite or overhaul every few months. We want to create stability amidst the chaos with tangible and fair rules and ideals.
I’ll spare you further rambling from me though, this thread is really about you guys. Ultimately we would like any feedback you have about Conflict + War, but here are a quick few questions to stimulate responses. All I ask is that you keep your responses and hate directed toward the system you are critiquing, not the person who wrote it.
What do you want to see from a Conflict/War system?
Where have previous systems failed?
What glaring issues do you see in the conflict cycle?
How do you make War fair?
