New Gametype

[carguy8]

So, about a month ago I had an idea for a minecraft PvP game. Before I forgot, I made a custom map for it and posted it on PMC. I knew the Map sucked, it was a randomly generated terrain with some chests and a spawn. But I figured the game could still be good, if someone who believed in the idea put a bit more effort into it. So, the game is similar to SG. You can ily break leaves and it's a last-man-standing game, and now that I think about it the SG plugin might even work for the map if configured properly. Up to 24 people could play, and the players spawned along the coast of an island, separated from eachother by at least 20 blocks. Everyone got 1 chest, and every chest had the same loot: a stone sword and chain armor, plus a bow and 10 arrows, but no food (play on peaceful.) I designed this game to be 100% fair, well, excluding hackers. So, my ideas were to have another voting option in the lobby, where people can vote for SG or this game, which I call FPvP. And i think that the SG plugin could be easily configured to work for this: have players spawn in certain spots around the map, all with the same gear, then give a countdown and let players move. And, if everyone likes the idea, then maybe you could have a contest to design an official map, with the only rules being a glass done and places in a circular formation around the main land for players to spawn. Or, maybe you could dedicate a server to it, like you did The Walls! Please leave feedback on the idea and say if your interested, and I'd also love to hear what MCSG staff think about this! Also, if anyone wants me to link the PMC post with the original map that I made let me know! Thanks and be sure to leave feedback.
P.S give me some credit, I wrote everything above on an iPhone.

This sounds quite fun actually, if you had it so everyone has the same armor and weapons, but no way to get better items so it's all about the pvp. Teams would be very op in this so have to find a way to deal with that, but outside of that this seems fun

i'm curious what other people think about this.. but i the little change of the game.. could make it quite fun

i think this sounds like a FANTASTIC IDEA. survival games is good but it drives me nuts that the people who camp at the corn almost always win because they get all the good stuff. i also think this game mode is brilliant because it makes it super easy to report hackers. got anything different to whats their OH BAM banned (this only works for people who give themselves stuff) your idea is fantastic the only thing i would change is maybe have a few chests (NOTHING two overpowering maybe an iron sword or 1 piece of iron armour) but to get them its a risk/reward idea like to get it you risk a half health draining fall. also i would add an enchanting table (with bottles o enchanting in a chest close by) so you could get an enchantment (again risk/reward style)

Thanks for the support, and I have a few more ideas up my sleeve. So, I was thinking in the dead center of the map there could be a chest with an iron sword and an iron chesplate and iron helmet, so that players are drawn towards eachother. But only one chest withthese items, so teams are screwed This also makes it so that campers are bound to be slightly underpowered. And if you think that this chest makes it unfair, it doesn't, and I'll tell you why: I'm OK at pvp, but suck at SG. but my greatest moment was one time I snuck up on a person who was camping at the cornucopia. They had full iron, while I had no armor at all and didn't have enough food bar to regenerate, but I had a stone sword. And you know what? I killed them! And it's not like they sucked at pvp, because they had 336 points. So that proves that someone with a better sword and slightly better armor than you isn't necessarily overpowered. In fact, one time on a minecraft PvP server a guy was opening a chest that was strategically placed in ruins and he had full diamond armor and tools, but I had just the servers starter kit, and I killed them. I would like to see this in game so that everyone can have a fair chance. Because nowadays, there's really only 2 people who can win: the spawn campers and the people who go to the casino in map 1.

Good thinking, but the risk/reward style chest is up to the map makers, and I only want 1 chest and maybe 2 enchanting tables.

seems a good idea, as then no advantages over items can be made only a players pvp skill. where some others would frown upon the idea, i see a huge oppatunity in this. it could even go above the original survival games maps and servers

By the way, FPvP means Fair Player Versus Player, if anyone can think of a better name then tell me.

I think this a good idea, sounds relatively fair too! Definetely think that MCSG needs some other gamemodes, like for example we have Walls coming soon! But it's not like you can vote for Walls in the lobby, what I was thinking for your gamemode in particular was.. everyone's in a lobby together, you vote for the gametype. /v 1 for FPvP, /v2 for SG.. then whichever gets the most votes then you can choose the map for whichever was chosen.. but overall, great idea, I'd like to see how far this gets ^^

I wrote that whole thing on an iPhone. Yes, a touch screen.

I actually think that they could dedicate one server to this, like they're doing for the Walls, and have multiple games running at once. I'm not sure what the format for the Walls server is, but maybe something like that?
