First time on the forums in a while, hi everybody!
Anyway, I've been looking on the forums, youtube, etc. and been seeing a lot of servers based around mods and non-traditional playing (zombie apocalypse, Dwarves vs. Zombies, and so forth). I also realized that I've been a bit bored with my own "traditional" server. So, I decided to change it into something a bit more creative. The problem is simple. I have no idea what I should change it into. If anybody has any ideas as to what kind of role-play, gameception (another kind of game within Minecraft, with a server based around said other kind of game), or theme for a server they think would be good, I'd love to hear it.
If someone else's suggestion already exists and you have proof, point it out- I don't want to be accused of stealing another person's idea. The person who offers my favorite decision will be invited to become an admin on the server- assuming that that the server would still call for an admin doing anything beyond banning and keeping the server up. You can offer as many suggestions as you want, you never know what could turn out to be the most amazingest idea EVAR.
If the suggestion is very custom mod-heavy, it's fine, but I and possibly a friend or two of mine will most likely need to do all the modding by ourselves (unless someone offers to help ), and we have very little experience modding plugins, so don't count on being able to play on your suggested server too soon if it revolves around rocket ships shooting laser beams and lion taming (as awesome as that would be, it's a bit impractical, at least in my eyes).
Cops n' robbers... Cops spawn in a police station, and robbers spawn in a basement in a random haus, and the cops kill the robbers, but if all the robbers get to the bank, they win, and the cops win if they kill the robbers, or trap them.
Although I'm in love with zombie apocalypse servers, why not try creeper apocalypse? You could turn get block regeneration or something to negate the natural effects of a creeper blowing a crater in the ground. I've never seen or heard of that on a server before, so I'd say its pretty original.

I've seen some creeper apocalypse stuff. I can't name a specific server, but I do know it is done a lot on private servers by letsplayers. In any case, I was thinking something more... outside the box. Cops n' Robbers could work, but something a bit more mob-integrated would be idealer, at least the way I see it. Someone else may have a different opinion though.
One of my earlier thoughts was survivors vs. necromancers, but my friends tell me those already exist. Things along that line, just a 'step to the left' are probably going to be what I do in the end. Still, I'm open to any ideas. Keep 'em coming!
How about zombie races, where you spawn and go to a warp from spawn to a huge track. You get 1 zombie egg and the zombie will never attack you. Your goal is to reach the end of the track first, this idea revolves around the mouse mazes where the mice try and find the cheese in the maze. You hit the zombie as much as you need, basically boosting him through the track. But however there is another player racing you, and whoever wins... Well maybe they get some special perk like the zombie they spawn knockbacks farther or they get a knockback sword, so the zombie will move through the maze faster.
The more I type this the more stupid it sounds, don't criticize me for this being the most retarded idea ever -.-

Nah, it's nice to get some variety in the ideas.
Now I'm thinking of some kind of giant mob maze... the goal being to navigate a labyrinth with your fellow players and ward off enemy mobs. Players choose various classes that would give them various bonuses- flagger, who uses wool to mark certain areas as 'already visited', fighter, who uses gets to use weapons to kill the mobs, tank, who absorbs the hits while the fighters do their dirty work, and alchemists, who provide buffs for the rest of the "team". Once a player dies, he/she joins the 'opposing team', chooses their own evil class, and can either seek out the party or wait at the end of the labyrinth, for the party must break their way into a large golden chest and claim their treasure in order to win. Now I have that all written down so I won't forget it, but there's no point if nobody would want to play, so tell me- would you play on that mob labyrinth server if it existed?

Yes I would play
