The great maze
DIR By: vuvu
Date: August 16, 2012, 7:50 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I propose the construction of the great maze. This maze could
serve many purposes, ranging from shits 'n' giggles to ban
appeals, for example should someone get banned but wish to
return before their time is up, they could be allowed into the
maze to try fight their way out. They succeed, they walk free,
but they die and they get an extended ban. But that doesn't have
to be a use.
Having thought it out, I believe the maze should be made from
end stone, as this has the highest blast resistance of all
blocks movable by piston, however this only serves to at as a
defence should a creeper get in somehow, and other materials
could be used provided the maze is well lit. Aside from creepers
there is no way the maze could be damaged, as the player would
be set to adventure mode before, although the area could just be
generally protected.
Of course, to prevent creepers doing damage would mean a
restriction of mobs spawning, by illuminating the whole maze,
however this would mean that mobs couldn't spawn in, right?
Wrong.
If we have spiders spawn inside, using "pods" of a hollow cube
with spider spawners inside, and a one block high exit to allow
spiders to leave, but any creepers or enderman who happen to
spawn inside could not get out to wreck the maze. Also, spiders
can stalk you and climb walls, which makes them scary as Darth
Vaders testicles. Of course, this could make things too hard. So
what if it was also made into some kind of challenge thing, like
a gladiator pit? You go in with little chance of survival, but
the strong prevail and are rewarded. Maybe give the player a
full set of chainmail armour upon entry, as well as weapons.
This will give them a chance, reward those who survive with rare
armour (if slightly damaged), and the extra resistance to mobs
would make a more interesting spectacle for the admins watching.
What's that, a viewing platform? Splendid idea! A giant platform
above the maze would allow the admins to view the event, placing
bets on whether an individual would survive, how long they will
take to get out, amount of health they will have left etc. The
spectators could walk around, viewing their wager, and toss down
items to help them, such as armor upgrades or better weapons,
however these must be vanilla, simply spawning items in for the
player would be against the rules. Also, since the platform
would need to be solid, there would need to be drop locations
for the items, which would mean that the victim would need to
find one of these first before they could be given donations by
their backers. This system could also work the other way, in
which they can buy certain items to be dropped down, using
currency (I assume the server will have Iconomy? :p)
As for the difficulty thing, seeing as you would have a platform
above, and redstone wiring below, there could not be multiple
levels, unless there were viewing rooms, but these would offer
limited insight, meaning that betting would not be up to date.
But back to the difficulty. You could have the requirements for
the weapons and armour dotted around the maze, as opposed to
being given items at the start, and you need to scavenge these
items, then find a crafting bench to fashion tools or armour
which could give a fun survival horror type experience.
Obviously on this hard difficulty, the drop zones could be
locked down, made more scarce, prices raised etc...
Also you could have pistons close off certain areas to allow the
maze to be different each time, with each controlled by a lever,
and these levers could be toggled to provide unique maze
layouts. Or, using redstone clocks you could have certain
entrances open and close in game, so you could camp out near one
of these entrances until it opens. This could also lead to
intense last stands as the hostile mobs close in, while the
player waits for the doors to open. You could either have these
opening and closing constantly, or you could have the player
press a button, and then have to hold out as the signal is
passed down a chain of repeaters.
And since the player would be set to adventure mode, they
couldn't destroy the maze, meaning only the chests would need to
be restocked and the configuration altered each time, before
reuse. Actually, scratch that. Why reset after each time? We
could have multiple people in at a time. Then they all have to
work together to get out alive, watching each other's backs and
working together to defend against the special infected ; )
So in summary. Let's make this. I appreciate that it'll take a
lot of time to make, but won't it be worth it? Like I said in
the last paragraph, we could get groups in at a time. And I
predict oodles of fun if we had groups on hard difficulty,
scavenging for resources. It might even make the server a
tourist attraction ; )
TLDR?
We build big maze.

congrats on making a forum acount andrew, but i i honestly read
the first paragraph because i am a lazy american XD. but i dont
belive we will be able to use this maze because of the time it
would take to create and operate. also for the record, creepers
explode and cause damage to players but not objects. but what do
you think of the forums.. anything that you think should be
added?

Well if creepers don't destroy blocks, that's all well and good,
because then you could have darkened sections you have to go
through, which would make things scarier and more fun.
But I thought the point of this section was you post your ideas,
people suggest improvement, then you build them. Since it is a
community build, I assume that I would be allowed to be placed
in creative to make things oodles easier. If I was, then I would
make it, with or without help, simply because it is so awesome.
:p
Help would be better however, as it would take less time,
aaaaannd it would mean that no one person would know the entire
maze, meaning it is more fun.
Also for construction of this I would need to be able to
teleport/set up warps, as the maze should be constructed far
outside of the chunks that would ordinarily be used, as this
will help minimise lag from the redstone when not in use.
Worldedit would be very nice, as this could mean that I could
make it bigger, better and more epic a lot easier, however
somehow I don't think I would get those permissions :p

I'm sure that we can keep it together for just a little while

On a faction server all you need to focus on is building your
base up stronger to fend off attackers.

Well neutrality for the win :p
I'll be making the great maze, should I be given access to
creative, and people are welcome to join me.
