Idea: /party command for teams and clans.

[CrimsonRed]

One of the funnest aspects of MCSG is playing with your friends. The problem is that you might have difficulty finding a server. Especially for larger groups and clans with non-donors. So I propose this. Add a /party command for the hub. How it would work is that the format is /party [user]. You'll be sent a request to join a party. Once the party host goes on a server, everyone in the party will immediately join the server. If someone from the party were to leave the server, then a message would pop up saying that member.

But this removes the entire purpose of donors!!!
Not necessarily. Donor privileges still apply to those who have it and don't. If your party has a donor and the server is full, then the donor privileges still apply to that person. If the server is a few people too large, then the donor will kick someone out. However, you can't join a server if your entire party can't come in at once.

But what if people start spamming requests?
/party block. It prevents any party requests from coming to you. You could still join and make parties I guess if there was a way to start private ones

What if people make 24-player parties composed of donors, and start joining random servers to kick everyone in it?
Just have a max-party cap. I'd say around 4-6 maybe, teams shouldn't be that big regardless unless you're having a clan battle, and even then, they wouldn't need that many people. Problem is that the 24-donor jerkcircle could just split up into 4 seperate parties. If there was a way for the server to recognize this and prevent it from happening, that'd be great.

That's all of the counter-arguments I can think of. Does anyone have anything to add?

isnt this a Mineplex thing?

I actually got the idea from Hypixel's server. I see no reason why it can't be added to MCSG though.

I think this is not needed for clans. There is teamspeak for that But, if you do not have skype, that could be good for a team.

Yeah its a good idea but people get butt-hurt over "someone copied this". I approve otherwise.

This may give you some hints.

Nope. The party system has been present on many different Minecraft servers, and many different multiplayer videogames in general. Just because something has been done by some large servers, doesn't mean that absolutely nobody else can use it.

It isn't for communication, it's so people can join servers easily.

This may give you some hints.

So does this mean I made a thread for a feature that was or was not already going to be implemented?

Well, lets just say that Devin was hinting at something positive related to parties.

Also, when you right click your clock it will show your party.

The idea of the party can't be copyrighted.

I think this is an awesome idea~

 

[TheParrot]

Awesome! Maybe you could even add party only servers with minimums of 3 people a party and a minimum of 6 players in case 2 parties want to have a battle!

Intresting idea, but will cause some bad things to occur.
