Good on ya. Chesh isn't in the clan and doesn't play here anymore. Also, I'm curious to know how OIN found that old outpost anyways? After all, Shadow_Ion and Emotionless_Bob never knew of its existence...And I don't think AidanJan did either.

CONQUEST: A Clan Based PvP Server.
Built by the Best, For the Best

IP: 66.85.168.10:25569

1. Goals

Our goal is to provide the best possible experience for Minecraft clans to be a part of. We want to offer a fun community full of competition, war, and trading all with no lag. Our goal is to turn Minecraft PvP into something better than shady stealing and griefing while your opponent is off-line. We want Clan warfare to be full on combat against enemy cites taking full advantages of the games features. We also want combat to be as Mojang intended it to be. Yes, it is a button spamming mess, but with the additions of potions, enchantments, the re-vamp of bows, and the continuing use of cannons in combat we want to encourage city to city warfare. With a map border set at 4,000 by 4,000, and with the Factions Plug-In allowing for land expansion based on your clan size/activity we know we will see plenty of war between nations.

2. Plug-Ins
Conquest offers a fairly small list of plugins keeping the game as Vanilla as possible while still accomplishing the server goals.

Chestshop:
Chest shop allows players to buy the BASIC materials from Admin shops located in the city of Erasmus, the spawn city. It also allows players to buy and sell from player owned shops which can be purchased with Donator Currency.
Iconomy:
Iconomy adds an in-game currency; this allows players to interact with the chest shop stores, trade with each other, as well as using their money for diplomatic purposes.
HeroChat:
HeroChat allows clans to create their own private chat channel, as well as Donators to purchase one through the donators shop.
HeroSneak:
HeroSneak is a donators only plug-in. It allows the user to toggle auto sneak on and off without affecting is movement, allowing the players name to become invisible when viewed through a wall.

Factions:
The Factions plugin is the main plugin that drives the combat and gameplay of Conquest. This allows for clans to �claim� a section of land based on their Power Level. The clans Power Level is calculated by the number of members that are pledged to that clan�s faction, the activity of those members, and the lifespan of those members. I am going to give a brief example of how this might look.
Faction �Bowser� has 2 members; each member begins with 10 power each for a total of 20 power. This allows Bowser to claim 20 chunks of land as their Territory, they are the only ones that can place blocks or otherwise interact with this portion of the land. But let�s say faction �Mario Bros.� attacks and kills both members of the faction Bowser, for each death of a faction member they lose 2 power (It doesn�t matter how they die they still lose 2 power each. Power regains after a certain time period), which makes 4 of their claimed chunks revert to unclaimed land. That allows the Mario Bros. to claim the land they won by defeating Bowser. If they continue to kill Bowser and cut down their Power Level to 0 then they can claim all of their land including Bowsers castle, effectively saving the princess.

Further information on this plugin can be found here: ( insert link http://massivecraft.com/plugins/factions ).
Mcmmo:
Mcmmo is placed in this server to enhance collecting abilities of players, as well as offer some incentive specials for donators. ALL PVP ASPECTS OF THIS PLUGIN ARE DISABLED. That means that the combat in this server is still vanilla and has no modifiers. All players have access to the regular passive abilities of this plugin, such as double drops depending on your level in a certain skill, the ability to negate fall damage based on your acrobatics skill, and other such passive abilities. However, special abilities such as Super Breaker, Tree Feller, Green Thumb, and Treasure Hunt are allowed for donators only and can be purchased in the donators shop located in the spawn city of Erasmus.

Further information for Mcmmo can be found here: (insert link for: http://mcmmo.wikia.com/wiki/McMMO_Wiki )
World Edit:

World edit just makes the build team�s job easier, allowing them to edit the land faster at a whims notice; it also means that the server staff can roll back specific portions of the map such as: the arena, survival challenge, and the fort captures. What does this mean to you? It means that in server events like the survival challenge you will be able to edit the land how you see fit for your victory and the admins will be able to reset it after the match, it also means that if you are trying to defend a fort capture point the enemy can completely dismantle the entire fort and the next day we can make it as good as new.
Border Guard:

Border Guard allows the staff to set limits the distance players are allowed to travel from spawn. At the moment the borders are set at 4000 by 4000, this encourages players to interact with each other on a more common basis and simply makes it harder for people to hide.

3. Events

Dying in events in CONQUEST will not deduct from your Power Level.
At the moment CONQUEST has three main events:

1. Fort Capture:

GOALS: In CONQUEST there are 2 forts that are located at 1000, 1000 and -1000, -1000. In the center of these forts is a bedrock platform; in the center of this platform is a pedestal, the object of this event is to place a sign with your name/name of your faction. Every night at midnight EST and admin will record the name on the sign, that player/faction will receive a reward at the end of every week the player/faction with the most captures will receive a sizable reward which can consist of diamonds, diamond equipment, enchanted gear, and other valuable items.

RULES: You can use whatever means you deem necessary to defend your fort. Lava is not permitted, however flint and steal is. The forts are mainly made out of wood so the use of fire can be an effective tactic. If an opponent breaks your sign off the pedestal but fails to replace it with his own before the deadline the fort will go unclaimed and no one will receive the reward. At approximately 12:30 am EST time each night the fort and any damaged area around it will be reset for the next day. That allows the victor thirty minutes to move their equipment and goods out of the area, failure to do so will result in a loss of equipment.

REWARDS: Daily capture rewards will consist of four random items.
Weekly victor rewards will consist of 10 random items, in addition to X amount of money. (The amount of money will change based on the economy at that given time).

The list of possible items is as follows:
Diamond tool, or weapon (enchanted or not)
Piece of diamond armor (enchanted or not)
3 blocks of iron
Set of iron armor
set of iron tools
2 stacks of arrows
20 obsidian
6 diamonds
2 stacks of logs
1 stack of mossy cobblestone


2. PvP Tournaments:

PvP tournaments are held on a weekly basis at the CONQUEST coliseum located in Erasmus.

WHEN: every Saturday night at 7pm EST. The tournaments will switch on a weekly basis between 1v1, and 4v4 tournaments, so each type will be held bi-weekly.

HOW: You must sign yourself/your team up on the thread before Saturday at 3pm EST. fill out the following application and post it to be admitted:

TOURNAMENT APPLICATION
Team Leaders IGN:
1v1 or 4v4 tournament:
Clan/Faction association (Leave blank if you are independent):

At the time of admittance each combatant will be provided a set of iron armor, and their choice of a diamond sword, or a stone sword with a bow and 1 stack of arrows, as well as food. No enchantments or potions are allowed as the fights are supposed to test your combat abilities.

RULES: Looting of your fallen opponents IS allowed, so if you have a bow and you kill someone with a diamond sword, feel free to upgrade, as well as use his armor if your is weak or damaged. Each match will consist of players starting in their own rec rooms, they will equip in these rooms, as well as set their spawn by using the bed located just outside the rec room. Each match is single elimination meaning when you die you respawn just outside the arena and is no longer a part of that round. At the end of each round and admin will enter the arena and kill the remaining contestants as well as remove the fallen gear from the field. The winning team will move on to the next round and the losing team will be disqualified. If any signs of cheating is detected the accused team will be subject to the overseeing admins discretion and will be subject to penalties the can mount up to a permanent ban from the arena competitions.

REWARDS: In team matches the winning team will be given the following: Their choice of 4 sets of iron armor or 1 set of diamond armor. Any combination of 4, diamond swords, or bows with 1 stack of arrows each (ex. 3 diamond swords and 1 bow with a stack of arrows) as well as a sum of money equal to that of the weekly reward to the winner of the Fort Capture event. Also each member of the winning team will earn the title CHAMPION until the next team tournament.

The rewards for the victor of the 1v1 tournament include: one set of diamond armor, their choice of a diamond sword or a bow with a stack of arrows, a sum of money that is the equivalent of 1/4 of the reward to the weekly winner of the Fort Capture event. The winner of the 1v1 tournament will also receive the title of CONQURER until the next 1v1 tournament.

4. Survival arena.

In CONQUEST we have a massive arena that�s dimensions are (DIMENSIONS) it contains a relatively untouched area of forest that is surrounded by a wall of bedrock that stretches from bedrock to Y 100. This massive arena contains two castles at each end of the arena, as well as several other structures located around the arena. The objective is to use whatever means necessary to capture the others teams �Flag� (Block of diamond for blue team, block of gold for gold team) and return it to your base at which time the competition is over.

RULES: Each team will consist of 4-6 players, the teams do not have to consist of an even number so try to gather as many members as you can. At the start of the match each team will sleep in a bed in their respective castles. This bedroom is off limits to the opposing team. Each team will start out with a set number of items in their castles, at the start of the match the teams will have 5 minutes to construct whatever they want without leaving their respective castles. After the 5 minutes are up the only rules is you cannot leave the arena or walk along the top edge of the bedrock. Destruction, tunneling, and any way you can think of counts as fair game.

STRUCTURES: Besides your spawn castle there are several other structures located throughout the arena, these structures contain chests with helpful items, capturing these structures can be very helpful in assisting your cause.

SIGNING UP FOR A MATCH: Clans/Factions can sign up for a match by completing the following form and posting it on this thread.
