  • Plot World - Your Input Required!

    Here’s my two cents on why I t hink the plot world should be set to a smaller size <50x50. This is an excerpt from my original thread (here)

    Quote

    he point of a plot world is to give the player a – small – plot of land to display their builds on. Thus, when you fly over the plotworld, you are met with a great deal of plots within view, so you can easily catch some inspiration from other players. Now, if you fly over the plot world, you can at max see four plots at a time in view – completely ruining one major aspect of the plugin. And again, a plot world is not a good fit for a server named Total Freedom, which entirely depends on being community-driven. 100X100 plots give players the ability to seclude themselves on their little plot of land away from other players – completely removing the “community” aspect of the server. You cannot see anybody building near you. You are alone on your very own plot of land instead of building near spawn in the flatlands or the overworld creating friendsships or screaming “griefer!” and quickly seeing a strike of lightning meet the offender head on. Plot Worlds is a multiplayer plugin for single-player play. Total Freedom is a community.
    Therefore, I have two proposals to consider:
    1) Remove the plot world entirely.
    2) make the plots far smaller (15x15, or max 30x30), thus making it easy to browse a variety of different plots, and hopefully having some players near each other as they build on their own respective plot. Right now, the Plot world is boring as shit to look at. A shitty spawn, shitty plots scattered about.
    I have suggested this before: Make a grand spawn with MB plots located near the spawn in order to inspire and entice the average player to build.

    Plots being smaller fosters a community. Leaving players on their own private 100x100 plot of land does the opposite. Some may say that this limits what players can build, which I think is something to consider, but as I’ve mentioned countless times before:
    If you want to build big, then you have the option of going into flatlands or the overworld and doing it there. You can build your pixel art in the ground or up to the sky limit. And with pixel art in mind: 9/10 bigger pieces of pixel “art” are simply image converters pasted into the game… So much for creativity.
    I see the plot world as an art gallery where people can “submit” their own plots of art that will be permanently stored for everyone to see. You might say that 100x100 plots are the same, but to that I say: fly over the plot world as it is right now. You can at – most – see 4 plots at once. Change the size of the plots to 25x25, 30x30 or even 50x50 and you 4x, 16x… the amount of plots within view. I love building on plot servers, because I can quickly browse through people’s plots for inspiration… I can’t do that on Total Freedom, which is why I rarely use the plot world. Another thing I would like to emphasize is that we CONNECT THE PLOT SERVER’s CHAT WITH TOTAL FREEDOM. (dat dere community-aspect)


    Now, in regards to a wipe of the current plotworld.
    A) put the plotworld save file up for download,
    B) allow for backups / convertions to the new plotworld. If the current plot size is 100x100, then allow the players who wish, to merge 4 (25x25 or similar) plots into one, and paste their plot there. I’d appreciate if this was away from spawn, so we don’t clutter the spawn area with 100x100 plots.
    C) WorldEdit still exists.


    I will admit that a downscaling from 100x100 to 25x25 or similar is of course substantial, but that is the norm on most plot servers for a reason, and if there is a great demand for bigger plots, then we could, in the future, perhaps add a plot world with 50x50 or even 100x100, but those shouldn’t be the priority.
    Give players an infinite amount of plots to claim, and you have basically solved the main issue with plots being “too small”. Make players have a max number of plots their can claim within a day or a week / month in order to avoid hoarding.


    Lastly, to prevent unused claimed plots from cluttering the plotworld I’d suggest the addition of a time limit on unused plots. If I were to claim a plot a timer would start counting down from a day, a week or a month, and if I were to – NOT – modify / build on my newly-claimed plot, then it would be reset and avaliable for a new player to claim.

    I have yet to see an actual argument put forth for 100x100+ plots.


    If the issue is that older plots will be wiped, then, as has already been suggested, allow players to merge plots, allowing them to transfer the old ones if they wish

    That's ridiculously small. For reference, current plot size's 100x100.

    And?
    There's no reason in having a plotworld if the plots themselves amount to the same size build one is able to make in the overworld. You can get protection both places, and you can save your builds in both places.

Also put your hands on the toilet seat and do some dips. When you come out of the bathroom try and keep pumped by staying active and flexing your muscles every once in awhile,

    ↩  zeseryu On a cold Friday afternoon, I had come home from school. I had been thinking of the gym all day. I was hungry, didn't have any lunch. In fact, I didn't eat because I spent the money. For the past month I was saving up for something. Something special which I bought at GNC. I was surprised they didn't ask for ID; I was pretty sure the cashier noticed how nervous I was. Anyways, my mom asked my how my day was when I got home, but I ignored her. I have more important things to do. I run to the bathroom and unpack my bag. In my school bag is a white plastic bag from GNC. I open the bag, first removing the receipt and flushing it down the toilet to get rid of the evidence. My heart was racing now. I unpack the creatine monster from the bag.


    I wonder what people will be asking me when they see that I will be 50lbs heavier. Should I say I was just eating a lot? I remove the label from the tub and tear it into a thousand small pieces. I flush that down the toilet, too. It is time now. I run up to my room when my mom ask me what I am holding. I panic, sweat drips down my forehead and my teeth chatter. "Mom, it's just for a school project". "What project?" "I don't know mom I just started it!". A tear runs down my cheek. I run upstairs and open the creatine, scooping upservings into a clear water bottle. What have I gotten myself into? I fill it with water and drink it. There is no turning back now. The creatine monster is inside me now, it will control me. What should I do if I die? I cant let my family know about this.


    I open the creatine tub and throw it all out the window; a white cloud of mysterious dust sparkles into the wind so graciously. I feel the substance taking control of me; I am now the monster. I walk downstairs, its time to work out; time to get big. Now I worry, I don't want to get too big; people will think I use steroids. I do use steroids. No I don't. Creatine. All I see is the weights now, I am almost downstairs when I hear "Do you want a cookie I just baked". I know I do not have time for this **** now. "No mom I do not want a cookie" I walk in the basement and drop to my knees before the weights, tears running down my cheeks. I turn to the right and look at myself in the mirror. Oh god, what have I done?
