Where you heard of ONA: Personal encounter on Project Art of War server, read several threads by members, view videos on ONA youtube channel
Previous Clans: I have loose affiliations with a clan with the tag USZRT from previous games. However I am not, nor have been, a member of their clan during or prior to playing minecraft.
Why you wish to join ONA: I want to learn. I want to improve as much as I can in as many aspects as I can. One can only learn so much on their own, they need a team to help them succeed, and one they can reinvest their time and energy back into. I want to be in close bond with a tightly knit community of players who encourage the achievement of their fellow members while offering support and feedback on play style, ideas, skills, et cetera.
Where you think you will fit in best: I feel that I would be best placed working with redstone and other mechanics such as traps. I spend hours thinking of, building, and testing my own traps as well as watching, recreating, innovating, and escaping from the traps shown on your youtube channel; I'm not always successful.
Do you play any of these games [Battlfield Bad Company 2, League of Legends, Pokemon]: Well haven't we all played Pokemon at one point in our youth? As for the other two, no. Although that doesn't mean I'll never play them, I just haven't tried them yet.
If you were an animal... what animal would you be: Out of admiration I would choose to be a bear. Ferocity and willpower supported by hundreds of pounds of pure bestial strength seems like quite the force to be reckoned with.
I, Ellicott understand that if I am not actively communicating with the clan [IRC, Forum, TS, etc...] I will be removed due to inactivity [Yes]
Can we talk about maps and how they'll be used? I think they'll be great for scouting enemy bases and such, and also very balanced because it doesn't update unless you're close. If you could place a map, it would be even better for realistic warfare diagrams.
One problem I have is that when you have a map out, it shows the position of other people.

What can you bring (contribute) to this server? I can establish, with my clan, a healthy competition within the server. I also understand that the proper ruler thinks, not just swings his wooden sword at everyone.
Have you read this entire post and do you understand the rules? Yes, I have.
I
O- The vanguard consists of cavalry(scoutc/lw units) and some infantry. This was a spearhead
O- Down the line was the main body (the army), seperated into cohorts. (i reccomend having you travel in your group in case of attack,it takes less time to prepare formations) This is the shaft of a spear
O- We are now to the Baggage. These are the people who carry the resources. They are well protected on the flanks. They are the end of the shaft. Keep them protected, this whole formation is to protect them!
O- This is the rear guard. This is the other spearhead. They protect the rear from attacks. They are the most elite soldiers of a group.
O- note. there should be scouts in groups of 2 and under 4 scouting around outside the flanks to check for ambushers. Flanks should also be very fortified and the shaft should break apart to defend the baggage flanks in the case of an attack. If the flanks break, you are screwed due to the long narrow design of this formation.
1.There are no fast attack units in Minecraft.
2.In Minecraft, from my experience, carriers should be disguised and surrounded by a few troops on the flanks.
3.Be sure to send the Vanguards way ahead of the main army to clear the path.
Otherwise, good tactics!
I've been lurking the forums for a while now trying to figure this out but I haven't found anything so I'd figure I'd ask. Is there a way to get the SMP Dedicated server to work on Windows XP SP3? I have the setting right as I can use my Windows 7 machine and host no issues. but its not my server PC for gaming.
I also wanted to ask if anyone knew how to give out a web address instead of a IP:port to help deter hackers or viruses a bit, seeing as how this will be a 24/7 server.
Yes there is a way to get your server on Windows. Go to http://www.minecraft.net/download.jsp and get the windows server. Use port forwarding or Hamachi (look it up) to get your server out into the world wide web, then run. To bind to a URL, you must buy a domain, open up your server to that domain and list that as the ip in the server.properties file once you install the server. Good luck!!!
Oh, I'm talking about something like
When one encounters someone wielding a bow, one can quickly build a wall out of dirt. Unlike other FPS games, it's not taking cover, it's MAKING cover.
Even when we're under attack, we can still build.
In some of my arena servers, sometimes I would quickly build small stone forts in about 30 seconds in hotzones, to give archers on my team higher ground, and to give swordsmen cover, if that's what you mean.
I don't want to look through 30something pages. Has combat techniques been discussed yet? In a random encounter in the wild, there could be more than mindlessly shooting arrows at your enemy, eg building walls and platforms, dropping sand, trapping the opponent.
In fact, I encounter scenarios like this many many times on PvP servers. There's a lot of potential in real time combat building tactics.
I've developed a few maxims, if you can call it that, for each of the intended weapons. A lot of this is from NonProphet (Minecraft user Etherimp) and his PVP advice.
Sword:
1.Always get first strike.
-In Minecraft, if you can get first strike in a sword vs sword battle, your chances of winning go up drastically.
2.Strike when there is no eye contact.
-No eye contact means their crosshair isn't pointing at you. This is the time you should strike, for obvious reasons.
Bow:
1.Take cover!
-While firing your bow, always take cover, or keep moving to be somewhat safe from enemy arrows and cannons.
2.Aim!
-A no brainer, but many archers don't follow it. You have to aim above and in front on an enemy to account for arrow drop and lag.
3.Time your shots.
-There is a small invincibility period after taking damage. Fire right after this period is over, to ensure no arrows are wasted.
Dear Everyone,
Just thought you'd like to know how second in command of ONA, Etherimp, was abusing admin today. Here's what happened on the Project Art Of War server.
Etherimp: 30+ members, one mob grinder a day, 5+ stacks of tnt, two clans wiped out, 'nuff said.
Bathbun: Boasting, Ether?
Etherimp: No, someone asked me.
Bathbun: They asked you: "Tell me all the stuff you and your clan did."
Etherimp: No, Bathbun. Just stop.
Bathbun: I can say what I like...
EtherImp: *Kicks me*
Bathbun: *Rejoins*
Bathbun: That's abusing op.
Etherimp: No, this is abusing op.
*Is Banned*
-
I don't expect you guys to understand, seeing as I'm sure you are friends with Etherimp and probably believe anything he tells you, and that's fine. Just thought you guys might like to know how Etherimp has abused his status on this server.
Cheers,
~Bathbun.
You left out a few things... like how you ceaselessly taunt etherimp when you are on the server. You are pretty immature around him. And I was there for that whole conversation, so dont try to make yourself look better.
