I have an idea for a minecraft server game as such:

When you join the server you will be asked to join a team / village. The idea is collaboration. So in your village there will be a stock pile area for food / resources as such, your village will be contained within walls of a castle which you are required to defend. The castle/settlement will be protected for the most part until time of war, when you can attempt to take over over castles or ransack there stockpile to boost your own in teams.

I have quite a few ideas for the server, including ranks, factions and various other bits an bobs, like elevated privileges for town mayors and such. You will also be able to befriend other settlements and declare war on other factions or villages. The server itself would also have a supporting website with current game stats and the current leading team etc to encourage the lower teams to try and take over the title of being 'Lord of the Realm'.

What do you guys think? I am happy to stump up for a server and website to get it started, I would need some help with getting the game up and running and deciding on what plugins we would need and/or if we would need to write our own.

The server would be free to play with donations giving resources or custom items for your settlement.

Anyone be interested in something like this?
