Interesting concept. If a server like this is created, I'd give it a shot.

" If they 'got the joke' there'd be no reason for them to wave their arms frantically and scream 'look at me, I'm really smart and the imperfections of others are my complete source of personal worth!' "
Instead of DeathBan, you should make the area where you die somewhere where nobody can escape from and re-enter the battle. I think instantly banning people upon death could be a problem in terms of keeping players active once the pvp fighting commences and people start dying. They might die within the first 5 seconds, be banned for the next 15-20 minutes until one team is victorious and never know when they can re-enter the server.
Well if you could find a plugin that does something like this then we could gladly give it a try. I don't know if there's deathjail. But It has to be triggered by death, or else we would have to monitor EVERYONE who is dying.
i know your probly still drawing it up yourself, but what will the size of it be, what are the teams and the size of your fort? how long would you say the games are? some of these questions can be answered yet, and it will be fun eather way, weather it be 6 vs 6 or 50 vs 50, 5 minute games, 1 day games. i dont care. sounds like fun.
Well it certainly wont be 50v50 unless someone donates for server hosting, but it will most likely be around 8v8 to 5v5. We mant to minimize lag to make it as fun as possible. There will likely be a 100x500 adminium box on a flat grass map in which to hold the battles, and the map would be reset after every battle. We're going to develop the idea more today, but for now, once I put them up, go ahead and pick up a support signature!
The premise will be that IN SOME WAY, you will be removed from the fighting until the end.
What will happen during a typical game is that you will get a set amount of time to build a fort with your team, while being protected from the enemy team. Once that time is up, the protection will be lowered, and the battle begins. TNT will fly, PvP will be rampant, and every step is a fight for survival. Cannons will be blazing. But who or what will kill you? Will it be an enemy infiltrator? Bad cannon wiring? Bad TNT placement? Your teammate? A Stray Arrow? Find Out by playing!
wasn't sure where to go to post applications, so i put mine in comments, if it needs to be somewhere else lemme know and i'll move it

Why you think you should be a beta tester: I love the idea of fort wars. I'm into pvp servers but ive always been looking for something that has to do with a team war. I can bring great ideas to the server and show some things that may be a pit overpowered or underpowered in the beta.

Comments: Nothing really, just I think I'd be a great accomplice into joining fort wars and a long time active member. Also I like the respawn thing but daeth ban seems a bit much, there should be incorporated a separate room to spectate. Like having everyone spawn, then changing the spawn. I don't know to much so it's just an idea.
WE HAVE A NEW TOPIC!
