The Afterthought

[Crashlander04]

While I formerly thought it was unnecessary to include argumentative points in the description of my idea, I figure they must be stated.

A opposed to gecko's option (I hope this doesn't tear us apart and we can move on regardless of the final decision <3), the map would be all encompassing - and would not split up the player base. The idea of splitting the community into an elite RP-based community, and a PvP-based community is not conductive to keeping Kiwike a united (as much as before at least) server.

The server would require RP as it always has, yet still offering a unique perspective and opportunities. Kiwike has always been a themed (as far as I'm concerned) server with some aspect of RP to it, regardless of the failure or ignorance to do so by many past parties. Kiwike has always been a unique RP server - and the reason for most of us to be here is because we do want to take part in RP.

This idea would not eliminate building capabilities, but instead limit people from being able to build hideous crap that litters all servers.

This idea would not eliminate PvP, but instead give resolution to those who aren't ready to give up that option of 'solving' RP disputes.

Pre-decided lore, setting (in some cases), and background would remove the conflicts of having to build societies from the ground up, while still giving the player a nice place to live.

This idea would still give the same option of hardcore RP, for those who are willing to take move forward and attempt text-based fighting (if this option is selected I would hope members of our community who advocate this would be able to educate us on proper procedure for such).

A solely PvP based, free reign world has never been the vision of Kiwike (as far as I am informed). As much as people fondly remember 2.0, it was for the most part considered a failed server and was largely low in activity for the second half of it's existence.

This option would be indefinitely cheaper as only one map would be hosted, instead of two. However, it would take a substantial amount of time to prepare the map beforehand.

Territories would still be used as the choice plugin for block protection of certain states, villages, and settlements, except with the lack of large-scale region expansion or decline.

If text-based fighting does not result in the collective growth of our server, or too many conflicts arise out of is, we may always modify the two halves to better fit the situation of that time.

These are not all of the points to this idea, but simply some common arguments that have been brought up. For more information about my idea, please see my post (not the explanation in the OP) on page one of this thread.

*Also, you can undo and revote on the poll, just sayin.
