Bot(h)* factions fight for the same ultimate goal, why not work together to achieve it?

+1. Basically, we can still have the same thriving pvp wars with many people, the only difference being there is no arguing and wanting to ban people over a fight, and best of all no disconnect-warfare.

Then, an enderdragon is found tearing through the nether road, killing everyone in it's path. Everyone from NTC and Ceteri is off guard, busy arguing and pvping. The only solution is for NTC and Ceteri to team up to stop the dragon.

Except enderdragons aren't in the nether. They're in the Ender. I suppose we can team up to stop an army of pigmen or something.

I would like to see some sort of FRIENDLY conflict between us and less of the "Let's see what we can get the other team banned for" mentality. This is supposed to be harmless fun, after all. Also, we've been planning a sort of city already, there will be more on that when we find a location and design.

no disconnect-warfare

Or channel switching. Seriously, that's just dumb.

Why take away nether war? It is fun, and I good way to make income from people who thoughtlessly bring diamonds and sticky pistons? (that has happened) In my opinion the nether should be dangerous with no rules except no griefing or stealing! Just my opinion.

[CirJohn]

I think that this is an overall good idea. Helping out in the nether is fun, but it is still dangerous. And the primary threats are ceteri and the NTC. However, the nether has become much more developed because of these wars.
People love PVP, but so many more hate it. I want to be able to be safe in the nether, build impressive forts and keep it clean at he same time.
Should the NTC and Ceteri combine, the nether would be very safe. I would be much more willing to join a group with no enemies.

As one of the few people who travels more of the nether than just spawn road, I can tell you that everything you want from the nether already exists. Travel is safe everywhere EXCEPT the road. There are multiple fortifications that have stood for weeks or months without grief.

If you really want to enjoy the nether, try using more of it than a narrow strip.

Maybe we should stop smashing holes in the narrow strip...

[shadow_barrage]

I agree ramein. the nether should be a safe environment for innocent peolpes.

I think if NTC and ceteri joins forces it shall be quite more amusing, because we would just fight against each other for fun. Instead of fighting to make the other one mad.

I suggest we fight each other, but in less hostile fashions. Where there are guidelines such as we would fight TOGETHER against other forces. Instead of us fighting against eachother. We both have the same goals, which are have fun PvP and build cool stuff in the nether. Let us join forces, but I am no leader of NTC so only snow or crash can say this formally.

This is pretty much what I was going for, and as a co-leader of NTC's Faction, I can assure you that these are our only aspirations. Call me a hippy all you want, it would finally be peaceful. I'm tired of every time someone gets into a fight in the nether, someone disconnects and ends up killing them, or someone has more allies with them; inevitably leading to the same old "That's offensive, I'm making a ban request" or "p0rtal campz0r!" and we can all actually get back to mining on the side without worrying about everything getting destroyed because we would all be on the same page like one unstoppable force.

[Cheez99]

We're actually going for a more unpredictable style of fighting while leaving people who are minding their own business out of it. For instance, if you are traveling through the Nether with sword in hand and full armor, and there are no enemies in sight, you might get jumped. If you're fighting someone else, you might get jumped. However, a traveler should be able to stand on the road and watch a battle between 10+ people and not have so much as a hair on their head harmed. If someone is mining, they should also remain unharmed unless they're destroying tactical placements (barricades, etc).

An arena is fine, you can have an arena all you want with all kinds of organized battles. But part of the thrill is unpredictable fights that break out in the middle of a field somewhere, and that's what we want to preserve.

If we all follow the Nether Guidelines SilsuCrow created (clicky), there will be no need for an alliance. We can keep our current "aggressive" status in the Nether and have fun PvP'ing, while travelers and spectators can go on their way without fear of harm.
