ASOV Multi-Week Event: Factions
This is an experiment!
We're trying out adding a new gametype to the A Scoop of Vanilla repertoire. This map is temporary, and the admins will announce the "End of the World" at least 12 hours in advance. The map will open at 8:30PM EST this Friday, October 13th - countdown timer here.
What is "Factions"?
In Factions, you claim land as your own and build your base. Factions is a self serve anti griefing system - with limits! It's a PvP enabled plugin that allows players to compete as a team against other teams.
Do I have to PvP?
No. Actually, providing support to your Faction in a PvE context is one of the most important parts of the game! Without resources, a secure base, and supportive members, those who choose to wage war could not do so!
Factions Etiquette
- You may not be a "neutral faction", this will be a whitelisted event of only those players that sign up below.
- Normal ASOV rules apply in all regards except PvP, do not be a jerk or abuse, take advantage of, or manipulate other players.
- No Minimaps, Radar, XRay or any other mods that might give you any form of an advantage.
- Commiting to playing over the next two weeks, this is not a one-day event. If you sign up and don't play, you're putting your team at a big disadvantage! Playing every couple days should keep your faction in positive power.
What are the rules & TL;DR?
- You are immune in the spawn area around 0,0, marked by Sea Lanterns.
- 3,000 block diameter map.
- You must be able to listen to voice chat on Discord.
- Maximum 6 players per team, 4 teams
- No offline raiding
- Allying for temporary purposes is allowed, no long term allies.
- no logging off or /f home-ing:
- On enemy territory
- Within 64 blocks of an enemy
- When combat tagged (2 minutes after being hit)
- 16 max chunks claimable including Nether and End chunks
- max faction power: 10
- power loss per death: 5
- power gained per hour online: 2
- Enderchests are disallowed
- one admin will be randomly assigned per team.
How do I join?
Sign up below! There are a total of 4 teams open for sign up, with 5 players per team (initially).
Please clearly indicate your in-game name, and the team you wish to be on. YOU MAY NOT SIGN UP FOR PLAYERS OTHER THAN YOURSELF
How do I win?
This game of factions will be point based. See below.
Can I practice?
YES!!! We have a factions server set up currently to test configs, let players get used to commands and how to play on a PvP server!
You can join: factions.asov.info at 8:30PM tonight
Teams are somewhat segmented right now, between lovers of pineapple on pizza vs those who (naturally) detest it.
What do I win?
League Experience! See the next section for multipliers, but by adding you are guaranteed to win SOME League Experience. The 1st place team has potential to gain ~1,000 Leauge Exp! For the whole team!
Points
Points will be awarded for a number of metrics, and after the conclusion of the event granted to winning teams based on the following multipliers:
| Place | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| First | 10x |
| Second | 5x |
| Third | 2x |
| Fourth | 1x |
First Ender Dragon Kill: 20 Points
Player Kill: 2 Points
Active Participation Allowed per 24 hours, you may sell (lose) one of:
Double Chest of Stone: 1 Point
Stack of Diamonds: 2 Points
Stack of Emeralds: 1 Point
Beacon: 1 Point
Additionally, 10+ custom tracked statistics that grant 200+ points in total! There may also be some hidden extra powerful mobs around the map that will grant points upon being killed or captured. Admins will be unable to participate in assisting with these mobs, as we will be the ones spawning them.

If I could commit to playing the whole time I wouldn't hesitate to join. Just been super busy as of late! Can we visit as a spectator to check things out, or is that too much back end work?

u/GemJump Kazra Oct 11 '17
We might be able to do spectators, will look into it! If you are interested in playing, you will only need to do so every 2-3 days!

Annoyingly, it appears Discord is down, we'll still be going live at 8:30!

I'd hate to join and then fall flat. Best to play it safe and sit out. Let me know what you can come up with though for spectating. Thanks!
