Starter Kits

[Willy DeWulfe]

So I saw this thread on the regular forums and it gave me an idea: www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=13925

Starter kits. The first squids to colonize a server gather supplies for new comers after making a decent base. These are put in chests for each new squid to get, maybe in their room

Each chest contains:

Stone Sword-because everyone will likely have to fight at one point or another
Bread-2 to 3 loaves because people will be hurt
Leather/Wool armor-Maybe not a full set, but its better than nothing!
Crafting Table-Everyone's going to need to make a few of their own tools eventually
Sign-Maybe, used to claim their room in the base

Job specific contents:

Farmer-Dirt, 4 Stone Hoes, Saplings, Seeds, 4 torches
Miner-4 Stone Picks, 8 Torches, 4 Ladders
Builders/Artists/Etc.-Dirt and Cobblestone, 4 Ladders, 2 Extra Signs
Soldiers-Better Sword + Armor, More Food


This might be a bit excessive for each chest, but I kinda want to see this happen. Regardless, we should have some emergency supplies stashed away in case someone burns all our trees or we die and lose almost everything.

I think the builders ect should get ladders and signs.

That's a good idea, I'll put that in

Also farmers need torches for underground farming.

Why call it a starter kit? why not a gift basket?

[genemos]

Defenitely? I say this possibly even calls for a new job? Guides?
They are responsible for showing people around if they are new on the server but in the clan, and they are responsible of making sure those chests are well kept.

If it sounds like a good idea, I'd volunteer to take it as a part time thing.

I completely support this thread and everything on it. I should have made this a long time ago

[Willy DeWulfe]

It's been forever, I had forgotten even making this thread.

Oh well, yes let's do this once we find a good server.

How about us scouts?

I'd say we shouldn't put finished objects in, but rather the components used to create them, so any role can take any chest, then make what benefits them from that.

We could also do shared rooms/wings, where a few people (perhaps of the same role) share/have their room in the same 'wing', with some sub-communal chests.

I'll make a diagram of it after dinner.
