What is Eternal Conflict?

In the world of Eternal Conflict, we have 5 civilizations fight it out on one map.

This will be an RP server with battles and sieges. Sieges will be planned.
1-2 weeks will be creative to build the capitals and after that will be pure vanilla survival.
The map will be 20,000 by 20,000 large. 7,000 around 0,0 will be the open conflict zone or a zone
where officials can meet and negotiate terms like alliances or ceasefires.
So that leaves up to a 26,000 distance from 0,0 to set the faction capitals.

The map will look like this

PHASES

Phase One: Application and Planning Phase

This phase will be 1-3 weeks long, depending on the status of the server.
Applications for the founding generation will be accepted now.
After this phase, Nobody will be whitelisted until the next generation is
ready or full. Each generation will be 5 people for every faction.

Phase Two: Founding and Building the Capitals

Phase 2 will be 1-2 week long depending on the status of each faction's capital.
The Faction Leader and builders are in complete control of building
and managing the capitals. During this phase, everybody will have creative.
All buildings must follow the building style according to their faction. People
that are NOT designated builders must listen to the builders for instructions on
how to build. Builders are free to build on their own interpretations, but must
be of their faction design. No pre-built farms, just zoning, and no portals. Please refer below to see
the basics of what not to put in. If you have questions, please notify me.
Only the capital is to be built, so nothing else. Capital is not to exceed 750 blocks. Capital must
have an open entrance or main gate that is atleast 7 blocks wide. This gate must be easily
accessible and must be a prominent feature of the wall (There needs to be a recognizable gatehouse)
Leaders of each faction will watch over the construction period and report in any
misconducts, such as random builds that don't contribute to the capital or trolling.
Hoarding materials is prohibited, as that will come in the next phase. Capitals
must be built 95% above ground. Underground cellars or basements are fine.
No underground room/tunnel can exceed 50 blocks in length or width.

Note: Builders, you wanna make this as pretty as possible.
Consider the capitals the landmark of your artwork.
Decorations such as landmarks or temples will be much appreciated.

Phase Three: The First Season.

There will be 3 parts to this phase that repeat.

Part One: Ceasefire

This part is the first week of the month. At the very beginning on the first day OPENING THE SERVER 5 double chests
f chosen materials will be allowed to be spawned in creative. There are few restrictions, but these are the rules:

Chests can contain any resource the leaders see fit to contain EXCEPT:
Diamonds, Iron, Gold, Enchantments, Vehicles except for railroads (no powered rails),
Obsidian, Potions, Any kind of egg, Tools, Armor, and, weapons.
As for Food, only 3 stacks of food will be allowed.
10 Gold Helmets will be provided for the faction leaders ONLY.
the extra 5 will be explained later in the siege section.

After this will be the time to build and produce resources.
This is also the time to build forts, villages, or any type of
building outside capital grounds. All buildings must be protected by the leader of the
faction or someone of power that the leader designates to prevent destruction during wartime.
All buildings built must be within 5,000 blocks of the capital.
No scouting or military attack will be allowed during this part, but going into the open conflict
and fighting there will be allowed. Unless if heading to the Open Conflict Zone,
You cannot wander 5,000 blocks from the capital. Until arrival of the open conflict zone,
all units must have weapons sheathed. The open conflict zone is also
a designated area where diplomats can meet and discuss political matters.
To open negotiations, the Diplomat must type in "Opening Negotiations"
into the chat. The two diplomats can then start negotiations in text chat.
Diplomats can have a small escort of up to 2 soldiers, but they have
no say during the negotiations. Once they are finished, Diplomats must say "Closing Negotiations" and leave.
If things go sour, combat at a diplomatic negotiation will be devastating for the two factions.
If a conflict does arise, then the factions must wait for the combat
part to begin to engage army by army.

PLEASE NOTE: As a scoring method, Gold will be used as faction points. Gold will be
stored in a complete separate chest from everything else. As soon as you can, convert
all gold bars into blocks. More info below.

Part 2: Battle

In this part, you will be allowed to scout for enemy capitals and fight. Leaving the 5,000 block radius is allowed during this time.
Fighting is accepted outside the open conflict zone. However, sieging the enemy capital is prohibited.
Raiding settlements, villages, and forts are allowed. Production of resources is also allowed during this time
so if you are not in conflict, feel free to do this. This part will take place in the 2nd to 3rd week of the month.

Part 3: Siege

The last part of the cycle, the siege part will be the 4th week of the month of factions being allowed
to siege an enemy capital if they are found. This is the climax of the rotation, so
it is best to prepare for a fight if you know your nation's capital has been discovered.
If you are performing an attack on a capital, you must follow these steps. If the faction leader is leaving for the attack,
they must assign atleast 1 person to stay back as the commander of the castle. This person will be given the gold helmet.
If the faction leader is staying, they must assign a commanding officer the gold helmet to lead.
A siege time limit is 1 hour. Before an attack can be performed, the leader of the attacking faction must
broadcast a message announcing which castle is army is engaging. This must be done FIVE before the attack of the capital.
During these five minutes, the defending leader must make sure they are still wearing their gold helmet.

If the siege persists for more than 1 hour, the leader of the defending faction must make a broadcast stating that
time is up and the army must retreat. By doing this, the other faction leaders can confirm the time and make
the game fair. Declaring this could mean victory or defeat for their capital.
If the enemy army is forced into a retreat, the defending side will have
the opportunity to stalk them home, so the retreating army must make sure that the enemy
is not following them.

If the defending leader is killed during the siege, the siege is over and both sides must stop engaging each other.
The enemy must receive all gold ingots and 50% of all the gold blocks.
If the attacking leader dies, 25% of all gold blocks must be given to the other side.
If there are not enough blocks for an even cut, round up.

The enemy faction is then allowed to return home without the defending faction following them.
Failure to comply with these rules will result in possible suspension, kick, or ban.

The following days till the end of the month will be extra ceasefire days until the actual ceasefire begins.
This will be the completion of a season. The team with the most Gold will win that season.

Application Layout

Wow, you actually stayed this long. I didn't think I'd get this far.
Here is the layout for the Application. Some ranks require extra information as
they hold responsibility. Feel free to copy and paste the layout to fill it in

Name: Just a first name is fine

Minecraft Name: We need this to whitelist you.

Age: We do expect maturity in this server, so ideal age is 15 and up (I'm 19, I dont want this to be a daycare). But if you are younger and mature then I can slip you on through.

Discord: This is required! This is how we communicate with each other. Please give me the username followed by the #----. In the server, It would be great if you can change your nick to correspond with your Minecraft name. Ranks by faction will be assigned on the Discord and it is expected that you enter your respected channels according to your faction. There will be only one text channel and one lobby for all factions, but everything else should be kept separated.

Faction: Alright, so this needs to be flexible. Please Underline the top faction you wanna join and Italicize 2 other factions as back up.

Rank: Leader rank and Builder rank have extra info. If you are signing up for something else, just put it here and 1 more as back up.

Leader: This position is a staff rank. I will be in close contact with this rank as we discuss the behavior of the server's population and status. You must have experience with plugins. You will also create the standard (banner) for your faction as well, or atleast, approve a design if you cant come up with one. This position has great responsibility so I need to contact 2 people who you would like to recommend you. Tell them to message me at HMKPPanda@gmail.com. Also, I need these slots filled ASAP to begin plugin configuration. Its been awhile and Im a bit rusty. So much has changed since Bukkit went down xD

Builder: This position is responsible for laying out building blueprints and designs. You must be exceptionally good at your skill. Please attach 1 picture of a house you built for the faction you are applying for. I am very lenient, but this will serve as your trial of being for for the job.

Remember to put one job back up after your selection.

Tell us about yourself: Tell me who you are and how you wanna contribute to this project. Tell me your personality and how you see yourself fit for the job.

Any comments, balancing, or improvements you suggest I look into?: I wanna know your thoughts! Let me know anything I need to fix.

And thats about it! Thanks for reading through that! I hope to see you guys soon!
Remember, if you need more info, my email is HMKPPanda@gmail.com

Good Luck,
-Sumi
