Ok so heres the idea: a server that functions kinda like North Korea!
Basically you only have a 16x16 (a single chunk) area to build in. You have whatever that chunk gives you so hope you are lucky. The starting supplies should be: 1 Iron Shovel, 1 Iron Axe, 1 Iron Hoe, 9 Wheat, 16 seeds, 4 bread, 1 sapling, 10 dirt, 1 Bucket of water
You are automatically assigned a chunk and your spawn is set there.
Guards are picked by the Dear Leader (me if i get the server somehow. if anyone can host this for me for free they get the rank of Great General)
There are contraband items. If you are caught with books/bookshelves/enchantingtables then you shall be tried and sent to a prison camp where all your food will be taken and you must do hard labor.
Prison camps; You will be forced to do Hard Labor and die.
Guards may occasionally loot citizens for food.
Escaping; You may escape out of the walls but beware guards and more dangers and traps. when the wall is reached their are many mob spawners. on the other side is freedom.
PvP is enabled throughout all the map. Guards may or may not choose to acknowledge the PvP and usually will not.
Guards may not escape to freedom because they live good lives and have private plots of 128x128 and may sometimes (but not always. Only sometimes) build/grief citizens.
Plot sharing; You may choose to share plots with others, it can be beneficial but griefing may happen so be careful.
The Dear Leader has rights to everyone's property and is always right.
the server will probably have a texture pack that everyone who has not escaped to freedom must use. (Few changes, all paintings are replaced with pictures of the Dear Leader)
The rank of Great General is equal to Dear Leader but Dear Leader is the figurehead and guy who came up with this idea.
So if anyone who can (and will) host this for free thinks this is a good idea feel free to host
So let me get this straight:
You want to host a MASSIVE PvP server. This will require a dedicated hosting service, as no home internet connection is fast enough for a server of this magnitude. It will have to have at least 48 slots to be any good, and about 3GB of RAM. This, at the cheapest, is about $35 a month. You expect someone to pay for this, AND install/set up all necessary plug ins, and this person only gets SECOND in command?!?
That being said, it's a good concept, but I doubt anyone would do it for you if they would still have to rule under you despite the fact they are the only reason it exists.
Not hating here, just questioning. BTW, I'll consider it.

Lol i didn't expect someone to do this for me, i was just hoping. I guess if this ever happens, i will make "Great General" equal to "Dear Leader" because after seeing what you said, all of that is true.
If you did it, you would have to be willing to give some initial investment toward the server. Someone is not simply going to pay your way in full. If they did pay in full, you would get the rank of "guard" (or similar) and they would be "Dear Leader", considering how all you did was supply the idea. Even if you did a 50% investment on the server, you would have a duel-dictatorship with the person who covered the other 50%. Once you have the server up for 1 month, you may be able to get donations to run the second month, so the first month is all you need to invest in getting.
How much is your hosting? Here's the needed specs:
Price:
RAM:
Slots:
Processor:
Uptime/Downtime:
Also, I'd like to know if there is an admin panel accessible via internet connection. A terminal at least. And full FTP access to the files.
I actually own a computer that is capable of hosting this size of server, and a 10MB/s internet connection, but the server would most likely not be a 24/7, due to actual *work* that has to be done on that computer a few times a week. Not to mention that though it does have Port forward, it doesn't have a static IP so that would be a problem as well.

What Country, Region/state/province would it be in if you decided to host it for the time you could?
I am in the United States, West Virginia. I'll get a test server up and send you the IP so you can test the connection. It *should* work, but since I've never had anyone outside of the local LAN network connect, I'd have to test it before I started working on getting a server established.

plenty of people have 4GB RAM+ with a FIOS connection
