With the recent addition of PvP to our beloved beta server, i've seen many changes with the community and with the gameplay of multiplayer.
THE FOLLOWING CONTENT MAY BE BORING TO SOME VIEWERS; IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ IT! DONT READ IT!
Yesterday, after a long wait, the server matinence was finally over and it was another peaceful and productive day on Team9000's minecraft server. Seeing the server finally online, I quickly opened minecraft and entered the server, within a few minutes of gameplay, i was soon aware that pvp was now active.After preparing for battle, i soon headed to the spawn to have some fun and kill innocent players. Eventually i earned the title of "Outlaw" which made me Proclaim that this was the best day on minecraft out of my 2 years of playing this amazing game. (Not to mention Ozy calling me a dick xD)
and i admit, maybe i was a bit ruthless on the first day of pvp
The following day, I logged in to find that Alimber and some others had also earned the title "Outlaw"; making me happy that others though that PvP (AKA: finding and killing innocents)was also fun

. However, after an hour of gameplay, i soon was devastated to find out that sanctum, one of the most powerful towns and are rival, declared war on us, Caprica, for having the largest population on the server.After this unfortunate and apparently unavoidable event, i discussed with my townmates about how to deal with this and what we should do about it. I soon travelled to Caprica's Spawn
outpost with frescodude(friend and townmate) to deal with the formidable warrior alimber, and some others i forgot the names of. However, with out arrival, we were soon chased down and were pursued until we had reached the safety of the spawn tower. After that having been done, me and fresco soon retreated back to our our outpost due to the enemy having only to find taunts on colored lines of text. I truly think this was a fun moment of running for our lives and failing our mission to kill alimber, however, there was some text-based conflict between our two rival towns between navirio (Our amazing leader) and some other guy from sanctum which i cant remember, thus making me conclude that PvP was tearing our social relations apart and distorting others gameplay.
What i mean by this is that killing others for the glory or even for fun gets people pissed off and makes them concentrate more on vengeance and hate, rather than building awesome towns. I pointed this out an hour ago on the server, only being shot down by one member of sanctum that claimed to be Conrod's second best friend (or vice versa). He then said,"Dont act like you dont play any games" (He was referring to me) - i found this insulting and incovienient, so i've decided to post this as a thread. Also i've had outlandishh explain a large number of rules to me about PvP that i have never heard of, so if anyone could clarify and post ALL of them on wiki or anywhere, that would be great!
To organize my thoughts and opinions about pvp, I just want to say that i am not suggesting any change to the server, for i had a member of team9000 say that admins dont give a shit about what you think and they can just ban you @ss; I just want everyone to realize what PvP CAN do to us as a community.
