The Future of the Server

Since the topic below this made by xgenslayer is getting way off-topic I decided to make a topic about the future of the server.

Ideas for the server:
- White list: This will prevent random griefers logging on.
- Removing useless plugins.
- Big Brother: Shows who destroyed what block and is useful for banning griefers.
- Legit: Too much spawning and world edit. (only spawn stuff for Spawn) This is a "survival" server.
- Survival: Only allow admins or op changing the time and only for official purposes.

Optional Ideas:
- Role Play? Do not go out of character. Have a background (skin not necessary since this is a offline mode server). Building have to fit that style and chat. To go out of character use a symbol like [message here]. You can be bandit raiding travelers, living in the city, nomad or just live in the wild. Only bandits can kill freely and if some is attacked they can fight back.
- Remove the /pvp on thing and let people kill each other freely. To bad if you get killed and your loot get stolen.
- Stealing is allowed outside cities/towns: Encourages people to move into cities/towns.

[Role play Background Example]: I used to live on a farm doing hard work every day. It was hard work but it was worth it. After years of farming we earned some money to get a decent living and got a job in the city. But everything went downhills. A group of nasty bandits evaded our farm and stripped us clean of money. All those hard work were for nothing. They burned our house and stole our food. We watched in horror as everything we earned turned to ashes. I wanted revenge on those bandits. I trained hard with my sword and one day I will search for those bandits and destroy them.

Expectations of a lower rank (Below op rank):
- Do not beg for day.
- Do not beg for spawned items (only for official purposes).
- Do not spam the chat.
- Do not grief.
- Listen to admins and ops.
- Do not use cheats.
- Respect others.

Expectations of a Admin or Op:
- Do not give out op to people unless getting permission from the owner.
- Do not give out spawned items to people below your rank.
- Try to avoid using spawned items.
- Focus on protecting the server from griefers rather than building.

May add more ideas soon. Please comment if you like the ideas.

The role play sounds kinda like Mount & Blade

but that would be great

you are a genius buddy but i don't like the free pvp thing maybe only in the wilderness but in town it's deactivated (with towny you can make pvp in towns off)

Ideas for the server:
- White list: This will prevent random griefers logging on.
when we get next world
- Removing useless plugins.
yeah, i was planning on doing that when we get a new world too
- Big Brother: Shows who destroyed what block and is useful for banning griefers.
its kinda hard to set up but ill see what i can do
- Legit: Too much spawning and world edit. (only spawn stuff for Spawn) This is a "survival" server.
Yes. Only me and my co-owners will have WE (in the next world)
- Survival: Only allow admins or op changing the time and only for official purposes.
yeah, going to happen

mmm, im not really a huge fan of roleplay servers. Theyre too strict in my opinion
- Remove the /pvp on thing and let people kill each other freely. To bad if you get killed and your loot get stolen.
i suppose. and we can just make killing inside of towns a crime punishable by kicking and temp-banning
- Stealing is allowed outside cities/towns: Encourages people to move into cities/towns.
sounds good

Thats pretty cool, you should think about writing a background story for the server

Expectations of a lower rank (Below op rank):
- Do not beg for day.
I agree
- Do not beg for spawned items (only for official purposes).
or just not at all. anything official would be done by a staff anyways.
and you cant pass out items to "help build something" either
- Do not spam the chat.
mmhmm
- Do not grief.
absolutely
- Listen to admins and ops.
and owners/co-owners
- Do not use cheats.
yep
- Respect others.
please

Expectations of a Admin or Op:
- Do not give out op to people unless getting permission from the owner.
i dont think im going to have Op's anymore
- Do not give out spawned items to people below your rank.
right
- Try to avoid using spawned items.
that would be nice
- Focus on protecting the server from griefers rather than building.
a major issue. Staff needs to focus on managing, and talking to new players. If they want to build things, ill make a builder rank.

I will be making a follow up post to this one in a new thread, listing what has been said here and my other thoughts on what the final product of ryland shall be.

sts big brother is rly simple i can teach you how to use it if you want
