Just thought of something. Would it be unpractical to, after a spy has reported back to base with your base's location and how to get there, to rearrange the landscape after he's gone to render his instructions hopelessly useless? You know, move a few hills here and there to confuse soldiers with orders like "Go to the ridge on you're left. Then..."
Marking the coordinates(f3) down would render that absolutely useless, but if they forgot to do so(any good spy wouldn't) it'd help a bit.
It was not created by me nor did I film it. Credit to oliverissocool1.
Now i find that very imperssive.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I beat two super hostile maps, see of flame 2 and spellbound, have to finish more. Plan to do inferno mines for lulz and win when it goes out. Have fun!
This actually has more to do with your server than the topic but anyway. What's to stop people from going offline whenever they see others coming to attack them?
Cos by doing that you could easily avoid being attacked until all your defences are completely built

"Oh hey, look! hes offline!"
"Lets tear all his **** down, loot his chests, blow up the containment to his mob farm, and bombard the whole site for good measure."
"Okay."

That, King, is why you do not log off. You fight to the death if need be.
I hope 1.8 requires you to sleep. (so that server bed spawn points can be set)
Great thread. Glad you've revived it.
I'm an expert pvp theif here. I pride myself in infiltrating a 3 block thick obsidian safe with towny protection enabled on it. Then, finding the owner's grinder and utilizing it for myself.
If anyone has any questions on expert thieving, go on. Ask me.
Off topic, what kind of server mods best facillitate warfare? My server uses factions, which are decent, but it seems every time someone gets stolen from or a faction gets bombed, they ragequit. So the server stays relarively quiet.

I was actually meaning on kevin4460's server because he had said that you would be unable to attack someone if they were offline. Which Im pretty sure is to stop people doing what you just said.
Why is this not stickied even if it's unfinished?
Oh, and the picture links are broken. o_o
Well, the original thread (by Valerius_Maximus (hope i got the name right)) was stickied, but then UN-stickied to give room for other stickies/posts.
And yes, we know the pictures are broken, kevin has said that photobucket was really horrible so he's looking for an alternate image hosting website. If you know a good one, suggest it to him.
I wouldn't call that impressive, I'd just say it was a glitch, or there's some magical trick that people haven't discovered yet. Me and my friends always TNT bomb the idiotic houses.
I would like to know what you would consider to be impressive :tongue.gif:
I used several tricks unknown to most players. And mind you, obsidian is bomb proof.

just a question, does the server you play on use any other plug-ins? because i was able to break down doors protected by towny using another plug-in
Here is why piston regenerating walls are inefficient.
They take too long to regenerate, and only make cobblestone. It takes about 3 seconds to mine a doorway through it. You can mine it faster than it regenerates.
Obsidian on the other hand, is entirely immune to all forms of TNT, and takes 15 seconds to mine with a diamond pickaxe and 60 seconds without. (Meaning any infiltrator will have to put a diamond pickaxe up to stake, increasing their N cost when they die.)
If you want to use a base with cobble generation, use a model that does not use pistons. Those ones generate the cobblestone immediately, and also have lava involved, making it harder to walk through anyway.
In all honesty, the best method to block any side infiltration is by a thick enough lava wall. Explosives cant get it, people cannot mine it except for scooping the source at the very top, and people cannot survive a walk though it. The only way in is through the top really, and the top you can never fully protect, but the path will be so linearized that you can really just use a bow to pick off anybody trying to get to the top.
Hey a mod deleted my post.
perhaps I was vague with TL DR
Just want to say that many ppl wont post because they will have to scroll down 6 pages, you should make a TL:DR version.
It's against the forum rules to say TL;DR in a one word post, I suggest going and reading those. You're the one at loss if you're not patient enough to read the information presented as is. Sorry, no TL;DR version.

O course, the best defense would be a self-regening obsidian wall with a thick lava wall. Of course, that would be hard to make, but it's the best defense you can make against a side attack.

I personally use ImageShack. Very useful and simple.

Several for that matter. But their is a faction item whitelist like some doors and water buckets.
