Server Idea


xPopcorn Posts: 1,578 Likes: +3,278 LEVEL 0	General Idea The idea comes from another server that is CTF based; however it is PVP not paintball --+-- What is a PPM? A PPM is a Player Pool Match, a type of competitive CTF match. In a PPM, 2 teams are created by the PPM Host and set to battle against each other in a Best of 3 matches. It’s similar to a normal CTF game, but with communication via calls and specific maps that fit the gamemode better for a competitive playstyle. --+-- How will it work? PPM matches will consist of a fixed number of players selected by the host(s). Each team will have a selected leader, who will represent the team. Each team will consist of an equal number of players, allowing for flexibility with setups and rosters. Each match will be a standard Best of 3 maps, the first 2 maps being team picks and the final map being an agreed. PPM Host will decide who is on what team. PPM matches will be directly through discord. PPM Host will be a rank given to those who apply for it. I think the community team should decide who is accepted as a PPM Host and should also all be PPM Hosts themselves. The matches aren't attended to be streamed. Players are allowed to spectate the matches if they don't want to play. --+-- Duties of PPM Host Not required to participate in matches. It is up to the Host if they want to participate or spectate Notify all players ONE hour prior that they're planning on hosting a PPM in Discord. EXAMPLE: Spoiler: Click HereShow Players should react with a checkmark if they can participate in the PPM or an X if they cannot. Set player limit. (Ex: 5v5, 6v6, 10v10, UnlimitedvUnlimited) Designate a team leader for each team Set maps that were agreed upon by team leaders Notify players when they can join the PPM server Make sure all players are on their respective team and give gamemode 3 to players who want to spectate. --+-- Duties of Team Leader Communicate with team who is defense, offense, etc. Discuss with their team what map will be their pick Discuss with team and opposing team leader and have an agreed map for the tie-breaker match. --+-- PEACE OUT GIRL SCOUTS Posted Jan 31, 19 · OP · Last edited Jan 31, 19 Like x 4 x 4 List Undo

Thats the job of the PPM Host, to make even and equal teams. Also, this would be a 1-2 hour event as there are only 3 matches. PEACE OUT GIRL SCOUTS Posted Jan 31, 19 · OP Like x 1 x 1 List Undo

For instance, if I said I would be hosting a PPM at 7pm. I have 10 players sign up making it a 5v5. They play 3 maps to the best of 3. BAM! PPM over until another one is hosted. They're almost like random competitive matches. PEACE OUT GIRL SCOUTS Posted Jan 31, 19 · OP Like x 1 x 1 List Undo

A couple questions: -Does the host just spectate the game as well? -What happens if someone has to leave for some reason (ie can't commit for the full 2 hours but didn't know that in advance)? -If teams turn out to be extremely unbalanced, can they be changed between matches or are they set? -Is there any reward for winning? Seems like it would be a lot of fun, especially for community nights! -Candy- Resigned MCBall Mod. Posted Jan 31, 19 Like x 2 x 2 List Undo

Seems like it would be a lot of fun, especially for community nights! Great questions! 1. I think it is entirely up the host if they want to play or spectate. I see no reason as to why they have to purely spectate. 2. This is the one thing I am not sure about. If a player DOES know that they'll have to leave at some point during the PPM, they should contact the PPM Host prior to the start and see if they can find a reasonable substitute for when they leave. If a player DOESN'T know and has to leave unexpectedly there are a few things we could POSSIBLY do. a) The last player to sign up from the other team will have to leave to even out teams. b) Find a substitute player to fill in. c) Keep playing with uneven teams 3. Personally, I think the PPM Hosts should be aware of all the players they have sign up skill level. But, I think the teams should be set in stone. 4. As this could be a daily or weekly thing I don't think there should be a reward. Maybe we could award 200PP to the winners? I'm not sure, it is up for discussion.

PoscoBG Posts: 240 Likes: +183 LEVEL 0	Just to throw this out there, if this does end up getting implemented there are ways to get Discord and Minecraft talking to each other, allowing for PPMs to be started from Discord, with people being able to sign up with a command. Would be really cool to see a competitive scene coming out of MCBall though. Posted Jan 31, 19 Like x 1 x 1 List Undo
Xorgon a Posts: 3,281 Likes: +1,912 LEVEL 0	This is a pretty cool idea. I'm not sure we have all of the infrastructure in place to facilitate this kind of thing yet, but I think it could be a really nice addition to how MCBall does organised competition.
