Water/Lava/Fire placment

wildone234

I was asking a trusted to place water when i came up with the idea that players should be able to place water, lava and light fires within their own protection stones.

Just a thought i had so don't get angry if it's bad.


Thanks!

No, it's hard to trust people, even if they had the trusted rank.
Ask mods if you need Lava.

You set an interesting term. "In their own protection stones".
Interesting.
I used my powers(water placement) before today, for a player.
The same offer and other Trusted.
I believe, you can get water fast if you type /helpop "I need water please, thank you. (member)" Or watever else you think is proper.

Lets see how this topic will get developed!

I think the way the current permissions are setup is just fine.  Mods+ should be the only ones with Lava, and giving Water to people who just have to register on the forum is a VERY bad idea.  With all the players not placing protection stones, even if you limited the usage to inside your PS area it would still be easy to grief someone with water.  All you would have to do is place a PS, drop the water, and take your PS.

The way things are seems fine.

I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with the current system; it was just a thought.

Yeah, Like maybe a system where you can ONLY place water, lava, fire in your own PS regions.

Your idea is a good one, but there are griefers who would misuse it to grief others. Take for example a griefer bought a PS and went to a random unprotected house. When he places down the PS, he instantly gets out lava and pours it everywhere in the house. The user comes back online and goes to his /home. He is shortly engulfed by the lava and dies, losing all his items. The user then ragequits from Opticraft and is never is heard of again.

Short story: Griefers will take advantage of this

Yomo

You're right, I didnt think about that. But I guess there is no possible way for this to work

Sorry wildone, but your idea is flawed. Please rely on Moderators+ to give you water / lava / fire

You can ask Trusted's nicely to place water for you if you can't get a Mod.   :)

Hmm. I guess you're right. I'll work hard to become trusted so that i can help others with water.

Thank you to everyone who posted constructive criticisim.

Bye.

It would be a neat idea, sadly it would be miss used as said earlier

don't discount this idea just yet. it has potential, and i'm thinking of a way to make it un-abusable. it's a very good concept, it just needs a little extra something.

Not to disapprove your theory, but I personally do not see how this could possibly be un-abuseable. Sure we could make it so that if it detects a secondary PS it doesn't work, but for those people wothout them it is a griefers paradise. And as for your 'something extra', what could that possibly mean? I don't intend to ruin your thoughts on this but it is a flawed suggestion.
