I'm Not Making a Hunger Games Minecraft Server
Thanks for your feedback, however, I will not be making a Hunger Games minecraft server.
1) I will not run 2 servers at once. 1 server is enough work for me, and I will not take it down for a Hunger Games server.
2) Hunger games will attract an undesirable croud. I imagine it will attract many little kids. Just like the fun server does, in fact, and I don't want that. I find that the more modified the gameplay is from how it origionally is supposed to be, the more little kids there are on it. MMO, Factions, Towny servers reflect this pretty well. I can do some community age/maturity management, but its just a pain.
5) It's a PVP server. PVP servers cause a lot of winers. People who were 'unfairly killed' in the ring of honor. Its just a pain to tell them that they lost, and there's nothing that I can/will do. A lot of people have a really hard time getting this through their skull. Its even harder to get little kids to understand.
4) Hackers will be attracted. It is a PVP server, essentially, and PVP servers in general attract a lot of hackers. I do have plugins that are good at stopping them, but there really isn't any gurantee.
5) There are a lot of Hunger Games servers out there. Its the fastest growing server type. I don't need to contribute to that. I'm sure you can either find/someone else make a Hunger Games server. A server that can handle all the nuisances that will cause me to rub my face against a cheese grater.
All in all, I have neither the patience, the will power nor the rescources to make a Hunger Games server. If youy find one that goes against what I say, great! I won't be making one though. That is non negotiable.

6) Everytime a game is played you have to stop the server and reinstall the map so it will be the same experience a second time. That takes time, effort, and resources from anything else you may want to do.
Think of me what you will, I don't give a crap what you think about me. Nor will i change to please you.

Re: I'm Not Making a Hunger Games Minecraft Server
awww . I guess if it's a pain in the ass to run that's okay. Still, I wouldn't play on any other hunger games servers because I'd only want to play it with friends.

I'm not sure one round would be enough to please the crowdFierySnake wrote:All we just want is one members vs members round D:
plus then he would probably have to organize a time and date for it to go up and that's already more complicated then having it run for a longer period of time

You gotta really love to be a server admin to do something like that. You have to enjoy managing a server as much or more than playing minecraft haha.

Re: I'm Not Making a Hunger Games Minecraft Server
IMO you shouldn't make a Hunger Games server, you should rather organise an event where 5 matches or something (depending on the time) get played. That way you can just switch the normal server to the Hunger Games map, you don't have to deal with the undesirable crowd since only cC people know when it's happening and after the 5 matches, you can just switch back to the normal map.
