Feudalcraft

[Spwack]

Now, this is a server idea the will probably (i.e. never) fly, so this is just delusional ramblings.

Currently in S+E, we are doing feudalism, complete with kings, castles and all that jazz. And I had an idea: Minecraft+Feudalism. So, every player who joins is a peasant, owns nothing but the clothes they wear, and lives in a dirt hut (free of charge). However, if they are good at RP/PVP, they can become a knight, or if they are very good, a noble. This gives them control over a plot of land, and a few peasants. After a time, a lord (who controls the nobles/knights, collects tax etc.) either "dies peacefully in their sleep" or is stoned to death by a marauding mob of angry peasants. The king controls everything, and can only be "killed" by several lords, nobles and knights banding together.

Anyone above peasant controls a block of land, with the king controlling the whole kingdom. If anarchy prevails, and such a person is killed, then the land they control is besieged by mobs, as the town wall that kept them out is no longer patrolled.

The controllers are the church. Priests are Guides (helping the sick etc.), mods are bishops, admins are archbishops, and the owner of the server is the pope.

[RAMBLE COMPLETE]

Imma pimp then.

Amidoinitright?

The Hell! I don't wanna be a priest! I rather be a guy in the battlefield! I don't wanna be a combat priest either lol. Anyway, this is a rather good idea. The part about the staff being some bishops and priests seems strange.

Ummm, theres been talk of switching out towny to a new plugin that uses kingdoms and such

[piwii999]

I personally don't think this should be implemented 'cos it would basically become like other servers play alot and you get a class. I personally don't like that 'cos its like hitting a brick wall making you work alot to get the bare minimum I like city craft now as it is because you can get a class with no skill at all yet it takes alot of time to get higher than that. This also makes a large gap between classes RP and IG.

Just have a think of what I just said

I agree with Sirv, it sounds like a good idea EXCLUDING us and others becoming religious rp wise. ALso in terms of the feudal age the pope was indeed powerful but the king called the shots. Henry the eighth made his own church and killed the current pope at the time (Seewatimeen)

[Spwack]

Mm... quite indubitably. However, if you look carefully, this has NOTHING what-so-EVER to do with AOC. At ALL. EVER. DO I NEED TO USE MORE CAPS? But yes.

[sirveleno]

Yea we know, we're just saying in case something similar to this happens.

[Spwack]

Phew. Just checking whether or not I need more CAPS.

The reason I put the mod/admin group as the church, is because they usually where completely autonomous, could control knowledge and collect or distribute money at will.

True although the king and the royals were arguably the most powerful, and back then "might was right" so whoever was the most powerful was automatically right and justified in all that they did.

Well I did meet a server where the King made all the rules and eventually took over the whole server. His circle of advisors were arse-kissers.

(Remember the TKs Spwack?)

hmm if Feudalcraft were to happen it may cause trollers to start trolling especially if they were a night and a lowly serf who was in fact your equal before the big switcharoo to feudalism


this Is JuSt RaMbLiNg So No NeAd To UnDeRtSaNd

[Orman Grandclaw]

If this is put in place, I'm leaving...

Good thing its only a ramble.

I hate to be a know it all but History is my kinda my thing and your very wrong. Henry VIII never killed a pope, Kings were constantly in and out of power struggles with the church and sometimes a king (Almost always French or Spanish) would control the pope but most the time the pope held the most power in Europe. Also King Henry VIII's decision to split with the church in Rome was one of the early steps away from Feudalism as it was the first step in dismantling the control of the midievil powers in England and through out Europe. Sorry I know I'm being a pretentious Douche bag but I can't help it =P

Not at all thanks for clarifying it. Im not going to pretend that i know history like the back of my hand, because as i have just so clearly shown i do not.
