War: To Begin or To Never Begin

War. A subject quite up to debate in Minerealm's mulitplayer. Some support the thought while others don't. One thing that almost everyone agrees on is there needs to be "rules" because really, war is mass greifing (depending on how you attack.).
I personaly feel that it would make the multiplayer so much more fun. You have so much more to do and you control armies to try to obtain other realms. Or course we get back to rules. First off, people would have to "sign up" for it. It is almost like a giant competition. Then you would have to have some way to prove that someone died and have them stay in spawn city until the end of the battle. Also, you would have to give up your realm if you lost.
For me: War - To Begin
These are some of MY ideas. I am not trying to make a rulebook for war or something. So, I want to hear your opinions! So here's the question - War: To Begin or Not To Begin? It's your choice.

just to clarify im mainly a creative builder, i dont like pvp, however i still think that this could be a good idea, if we do it right.
first off i dont think that there should be any griefing what so ever, if we have a war it should A) be pvp in realms, but you cant destroy blocks, or B) have a preset realm, that can't grow in size, has a giant wall around it, and people just kill each other in there.
secondly, i don't think that the realm should be forfeit if you lose, many people in realms don't have the same opinion or view to war, and if they lose theyre buildings, and work because of other peopls decision, were gonna have a lot of whining (and rightfully so).
furthermore it shouldn't be mandatory, you opt in.
so again, it wouldn't be fair to the players that don't want to fight, which would be my main stressed point of all of this, both in "griefing" and losing of realms.
just imo

Yeah, that all makes really good sense. I also think that if we start a war we should have a war council. Two people from each "group" participating. This council would determin the wins and losses of the day and also it would be the time to quit the war. Just an idea.

Same.
But when some little realm comes and boxes me in its move it or loose it. ^^
I wana be able to kindly ask them to move... and if they don't agree after countless bribes and pleads.... I want to be able to rip appart their realm. :shock:
Tis war not a skirmish or a raid.
Although.... that would be good if we could declare types of war...
1. raid/skirmish
2. all out war

Thanks jdankk! Also I have a question about those rules and stuff. Are they offical or are they just another idea? Either way they sound great!

They're an idea right now. Panthers17nfl said he is working on making a template for the war contract.

If you need organized war for an excuse to kill someone, you're doing it wrong.
And on that note, organized wars would never happen considering it's like 5-7 people on both sides at the most. It will mostly boil down to random fighting with disregard for strategy.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But I know some realms would probably create an army if they have enough people, but yeah. That makes sense.
