During New Years, everyone had capes on that said 11 meaning 2011. This was just a little fun idea to celebrate New Years, but then Notch asked a question. What should we do with capes now?
Well that was right around the time that the comments area on the blog were disabled, so I was unable to share my ideas for capes. So I decided to go to the MC Forums and post them here instead so here is what I was thinking...
Status Capes
When Minecraft turned to Beta, all the players who bought the game during Alpha officially got 'Alpha Status'. I think that players with Alpha Status and Beta Status should have capes, and maybe a few different choices for them. For example, Alpha members can choose between having a red cape with an A on it, or a blue cape with the word Alpha on it, or no cape at all. And Beta can have similar options but with the word Beta on them.
Team Capes
SMP is very popular when it comes to PvP. So far we haven't had very many team battles, and all of the attempts for them haven't really worked, but If teams are ever made (and the probably will be) the best way to tell people from different teams apart will be to give them team capes.
In-Server Status Capes
Give the moderators on your server more than just a colored name. There should be the choice of giving some people capes in your server for different things. That way people can show off there superiority.
I'm not. There have been a lot of threads on capes, many of them were better than this one.

Yes, Google isn't very accurate when searching these forums, it seems.
adding "site:minecraftforum.net" to your search is tedious? This species...

I know all of this happened about 4 months ago but I was just looking back at my old Forums and this idea wasn't really discussed... At all.

Two months ago. I am surprised too.
