So, I think this has been brought up before, but it was discussed today on the server as a possible event. What if we set up one day as a no-rules day, akin to a scenario from The Purge, where all forms of PvP, looting, griefing, and mass destruction are allowed. At the end of the day the server could just be reset to the condition it was in during the previous day. Perhaps rewards could be worked out for the most kills/destruction.
I think this could be a fun concept that would allow people to blow off steam and violence without any real consequences, item-wise or rule-wise.
Ha ha. Why not? We will need to set messages to players all day to let them know the purge is happening. None of their work will be saved.
I can help with the backup and restoring if needed. Same with the message. Give me a good line to explain it!
I believe the backups cover both the survival and creative maps, but not player inventories. Be warned, you will still have what you had that day. That is, unless someone makes a backup of the .dat files. WHY CAN’T I DO THAT??? Grrr
Yomi, we take a save of the world, then let everyone go mental for 24 hours, then after that we revert to the saved map so nothing done within those 24 hours is kept.
I do this in my town every now and again but all the people that participate agree on the rules. Its great fun and at the end we just give all our stuff back. The only problem i see is the looting part. Does all the stuff in chest get saved?
This should be a 2 day event, day one to prepare, day 2 the purge. That way any traps and stuff we build in the preparation day can be rolled back as well
