grindboy 61 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) With the new world height it is possible to fall off of a platform 256 blocks up and grab hold of a nearby 1x1x256 ladder and save yourself. This makes for a rather cool game whereby you climb to the top and prevent people taking your place as monarch of the ladder tower. Got the idea from Etho's latest video (SOME STRONG LANGUAGE): [media]http://youtu.be/2xam9BvP9bM[/media] ladder fun starts at about 5:30 Would be fun and easy to build and take down. You could have multiple ladders and platforms maybe with snowballs at the top to knock other monarchs off? See you in Blockspace Michael [edit] you could put a big tank of water at the bottom so that people don't die and have a time limit, when the time's up the person on the hill is crowned. [edit 2] (I'm thinking this up as I go along, can you tell?) Instead of starting with a laddered column you could issue the players with stacks of ladders.

darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Grindboy thank you for your suggestion however I have changed your topic title to include the suggestion tag, please make sure you add this next time you suggest something as it helps us organise suggestions better. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grindboy 61 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 DarrenStraight, thank you for correcting my title. What do you think of the idea? Seems like it would be a laugh to me, would be even better if all the players were on mumble so you can hear the screams as you knock your opponent off the top. See you in Blockspace Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain_Marbles 249 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 This is a great idea! Maybe we could play this to celebrate updating to 1.2? I'm sure it would be great fun How's your hand by the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darrenstraight 2,330 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Don't really like this game to be honest, at least not how it's pictured here seems very messy and involves pvp and TNT. I can see how some people could enjoy some of it, however it lacks some structure to it. I'll think about it but this is probably something to consider latter once 1.2 is on the server and I've tested how the effects of height effect the server. As for it being something to celebrate 1.2 I already have 2 projects in mind to celebrate this which I'm very excited about, some staff may have heard of project codename 256... not that I've released any infomation about it to anyone... But it will hopefully be a fun project.... Just hang in on there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grindboy 61 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Oh yeh I agree the tnt, trees and mushrooms got really silly. I didn't mean copy the video I only linked it as a general concept. Do.you need pvp to shove a player? Although we've already got a plugin that selectively enables pvp so I can't see it'd be much of a problem. @nick hands on the mend now. Thanks for asking. Got enough dexterity to wield a mouse now so I've been on a little bit. Edited March 14, 2012 by Grindboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] We do somewhat yes however who knows what can happen at that height I will need to find some test dummies As for do you need pvp to shove people no put yes to knock them back as in hitting them! As I said above, think its something that would need to be thought about... I'll discuss it with my events organiser next time I see him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flobby18 2 Report post Posted March 18, 2012 Sounds like a very good variant of the 'King of the hill' gametype in mayn online fps games, but this is more minecrafty. One question though; if there are multiple ladders, should the people be competing to all get on top of the same one or have say, four winners, one for each ladder?

grindboy 61 Report post Posted March 19, 2012 Yeh I was pondering that. Maybe 4 ladders leading to 4 1/2 way platforms then a single ladder from them leading to the top. Gives more chance to use the sprint punch to knock people all the way to the bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
