[Idea] Hazardous Materials License

Summary: Ability to apply on the forum to buy a Hazardous Material License which would allow the holder to place fire, lava buckets, and even use TNT, provided they have no past record of griefing.

Details: The application for the HML would be located within a subforum of the minecraft beta forum, and feature ONLY applicant posts which would be arranged in the following format:

Code:

IGN - In Game Name

Age - IRL age

Reason for Application - No less than a paragraph, no more than two.

Seniority - Join date

Building Samples - At least 3 pictures of something you've built using one of the three hazardous materials.

Optional: Then once an admin approves or denies the application, they are permitted to BUY the lisence with in-game money, for periods of time. 500c for a day, 700c for a week, 2,100c for a month, making buying for a week the cheapest option and encouraging those with it to offer services to help build others projects, thus additionally stimulating the in-game economy.

Notes:

[*] Anyone jailed for griefing need not apply.

[*] Misusing the HML forfeits all in game property, future viability for a license, and/or server access terminated,temporarily or permanently.

[*] Instead of a time-based charge, it could be done as a 'one time' payment of 3,000c, or free, if one raises the standards for qualification to preserve scarcity.

 

i think this is a swell idea. Like usually to build where we are i need to take off mountains and stuff, so a controlled populous using hazardous material would be exquisite

 

I was thinking something similiar, even something like for short term usage or projects (like in my case, enough TNT to clear out a large chunk of mountan). This stuff is definately useful for certain projects and uses, but I can understand griefing concerns as well.

OP went into more detail than I did, well done.

 

My 2 cents would be allow the use of lava, fire, and tnt on land you own idk if this is possible becuase of towny but it would be helpful

 

Yea that would be a great thing. It'll be helpful for many things such as obtaining obsidian, and removing unwanted mountain ranges

 

I like this idea.

 

I approve, just get Deity to, and ill make a snow-lava arena i had

 

I support this.

 

This is certainly an interesting proposition, i'll be interested in seeing the resultant.

Ya but new members could be grievers and would have no jailing record etc.

 

noooooooooo no tnt lava buckets yes obsidion farm ftw

 

I for one support this idea, especially the TNT part. My town is in the process of clearing a mountain, and so far its taken us a few days to get 4 or 5 plots ready for new members. TNT would accelerate this process 10 if not 100 fold and allow us to get back to our true professions, making cake.
On a side note, If/when the war component of Towny is activated, holders of this license would be in high demand for... well, im not sharing any battlefield tactics with potential enemies
On a side note, I know many childish 20-somthing year old people and a handful of very mature 12-14 year olds, so the age part of the field may not be very helpful.

 

I like it too.
As a way to ensure only trusted people are able to get this, perhaps there can be a sponsorship type of feature....meaning you have to get 2 other players to vouch for you or something. Like applying for a passport

 

This idea is heavily outdated and needs to be remade for any further discussion.
