Sooooo supported! this would be awesome! so much easier than figuring all the dimensions for diamond or coal etc. all i have to say is yes yes yes!

Not sure if should make a whole new plugin, or attempt to add this to the current plugin now that I have the sourcecode. I think my first attempt will be to add this on to the current plugin though since the current plugin I think has methods for charging the player, and different methods for database access and what not. I haven't looked at the whole source code yet so I don't know the extent of the plugins features.

Meh I think protection stones are fine

Completely off-topic, but why did you copy my saying in your signature? I'm cool with you using the same type of signature, but not with my saying. Even though you changed it, you still copied it from me.

I believe your math has a slight hiccup. You flipped the equation for figuring out how much each single block would cost.
The math works out to $0.80 a block (rounded up from $0.798015) If you keep it as you stated you would be paying about 86k for a diamond protection stone.
Altho a higher payment for each block could be implemented as a cost for custom fields.

Well I think this coding is going to be heavily delayed. A person who works for Microsoft is giving me a free Windows Phone, and not the low end shitty type of Windows phone either. This is a really good phone that normally would cost a lot of money to buy. Anyways the only catch is the person wants me to develop apps for Windows phone. I don't need to develop apps for Microsoft, or for this person to sell, but he just wants to see that I am using the phone for something constructive as well as using it for personal reasons which in my case is a really good push to develop stuff, and put my programming knowledge to use. Therefore I will be starting right away on this!

imo there is no "shitty type of windows phone" all the one I have tried are pretty good.

If you do this I will love you forever (No homo) :o

That would be perfectly awesome and there should be an ability to let more players pitch in to protect a larger area.

That's simple. Player A /pay 1000 --> Player B
Player B makes the protected area be 1000 blocks larger. Nuff said.

This is an amazing idea. Fully supported; I'd love to see this happen. It's free on another server though. I'm just wondering, why do we even pay for protection? Is it because newbies who grief will like protect the whole world or something?

Chief149

Yeah. Well for two reasons. One: It balances the economy with the high prices. Secondly: It restricts the amount of land one person can have entirely to themselves with the "Don't build what you can't protect motto" although of course if your build is griefed you can have it saved by a moderator, but that is beside the point.
