World Bosses

These are gonna work kind of like wc3 shammies.

A world boss is a guy who does something epic in line with the theme of a given world.

Examples are:
when the server first opened, backseat had backseat tower up n running in like 5 hours. Besides it being a pretty sweet tower, it was also far and away the coolest thing on the world. As a result backseat became the boss of the world (as seen by a nifty sign in the hub world).
Later on, kog built his awesome castle and boss was transfered.

for a world like the mini-game world (not officially open yet) the boss might be someone who wins at a minigame.

or in pvp it might be the guy who has the most kills. or the one who defends an epic castle against everyone else

being a boss is going to mean certain things eventually (its nothing but a title atm). think popcorn not steak though. almost every boss will get a /kick and /ban command, but anything else is dependent on the world they are boss in. for a world like pvp, boss won't even get those. in a world like the minigame world, a boss (and any previous boss) might get the ability to build minigames/gauntlets

Once boss becomes a legit position, ill update this with the current bosses of all the worlds
i'll probably even add in the specifics for each boss

i would like to know how come all the credit goes to jok?? ok may be he spends alot more time on the server than i and maybe he has placed more blocks. but i have done alot of the concept and design work. maybe i could get a little credit once in a while and maaybe be like a mini boss? eh eh

oh true, i never really considered that
yeah from the sound of it you did just as much work for the castle and at least a fair bit for the gauntlet

k i'll add a secondary sign for now
this probably wont become a common thing though

You should take a pic of the thing that they built

when i said once boss becomes a legit position ill add the specifics i considered pics to be part of the specifics

i have to break the 1k post to clear things up

venom helped... like 5-7% on the castle. he had only about 2 real ideas and he placed about 5% of the blocks

but the gauntlet was entirely his idea, i did about half the work but the ideas were mostly his

so the gauntlet i would say is somewhere in the venom -55% me -30% seren-15%


and i finished barad-dur but it looks fatter than i thought it would be and i wish i couldve made it 2x taller :d, i had to remodel the eye too cause we built it on a odd scale whereas the tower was even

its empty right now and i dont know what to put in it soo yeap

personally i think the gauntlet is the coolest thing i've seen
i love how much it feels like portal

especially the initial puzzles. the longer ones we did were cool, but i really liked the short and sweet ones.

i'll probably still give him an honorable mention sign until you get displaced
there'll also be a record of the bosses for each world on the sign of each nether portal (in the hub world)
like in the format of
Previous Bosses:
Backseatdriver
KoG & Venom
etc

pat mighta been a boss too at some point. i'm not totally sure. there was a week where i wasn't on the server at all

I was a boss during the week where you weren't on the server at all, pat and kog can back me up on this.

No, i wasnt on the server for awhile either
The only thing i built was that underground house with the nether portal, that was before backseat made his tower, which i think was the first tower made
After that though i stopped playing for a couple days, maybe a week, then when i went on i was in darkness until a couple days later when you and knight and someone else came

My tower is maybe 1/5th of the way done
I thought glass would be what slowed me down but its actually cobblestone, each floor requires about 300 glass and like 1000 cobblestone (maybe more, the ceilings take alot)
The glass is surprisingly easy to get when theres massive amounts of sand right next to you and you have about 20 furnaces with plenty of fuel

I dont know how knight made all the stuff hes made, or mined all the stuff hes mined, it takes forever



Im trying to figure out how to make 1 button open double doors without showing any of the redstone, i was able to do it with pressure plates but that only works for doors that are inside since mobs could trigger outside pressure plates

Also they changed some stuff that they didnt list in the change log
Ladders dont work if you put them up every other block, they need to be connected now
And charcoal has a chance to fail at being created, i put 300 wood in and only got out maybe 150 charcoal, so its nearly a 50% failure rate, using charcoal was pretty unbalanced before though so i guess this change makes sense, but id rather it be something like a 30% failure rate

you should see me and venoms mine (the mines of Moria), then you'll understand where we got our cobblestone

idk how much total cobblestone the castle took but the bottom floor took 2400 cobble not counting the walls we added later for rooms

i like mining so that helps


and if anyone wants any help with redstone related stuff i would be glad to help, i find redstone very entertaining

this is so important that im willing to do it right now

your new world boss for SMP is 00mpa669



BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL

what did he make?

i dont even know where anything of his is at all

pics or it didnt happen

when are the new worlds going to come into play?

I bet 00mpa669 hacked serens account and posted that. What did he make? If I knew what he made i wouldnt be so pesky about this.

How can you guys not know what he built
Seren told you in his post

no he said BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL

which makes me think of he-man, not the actual castle

and tbh after seeing it i think seren overreacting a bit, its ok but it wasnt even finished and its basically just a castle with a skull made from mossy cobble on the front

i would say olo's boat > the greyskull

I havent seen it at all. Thats why im being so critical. Where is it?

Mossy cobble isnt easy to get

Not for kog... he has tons

I think olo's boat beats castle gray skull...

I dont think greyskull is that great, sure its cool and big and must've taken a lot of time, but the only original/cool thing about it is the skull which isnt even 3d or that big anyway; its really not that special tbh. I think most of what kog has made is better than the castle, maybe when its finished and all Greyskull will be cooler, but for now its not finished and its not that good..

Lets give Seren a break tho, he is kinda super sick. Might be messing with his funk.

i haven't seen olo's boat
if you thought olo's boat was better you shoulda told cd and asked him to judge

i have seen castle gray skull and he told me about his plans for it
i do know that it was
1. awesome (he-man is a personal hero of mine)
2. different/new
maybe ill reconsider when i go on later (probs not tonight), but unless kog built something while i was gone - boss passes to someone new

also i did post a picture
it worked for me when i did it
but now it doesnt
i blame the internets
