Vip and ban lists are being transferred according to the other thread. Not sure about votes though.

At first I thought it would be a bad idea, then I realized a fresh start would be a good idea.

If there were a way to ensure that non faction players would not get involuntarily involved with factions that would be great, since no one's play style would be impeded.

The top 2 images don't appear to be from the server. Still pretty good builds though nonetheless.

The feasibility of banning factions had crossed my mind, as well as what constitutes a faction. Is a group of five players who simply share a base a faction? In my head they have to be doing faction things, extortion, bribery, bounties, etc.

I personally think that factions, unofficial though they may be, should be banned from the server. Listed below are the reasons for me believing this:

1. This isn't a faction server, it is a vanilla survival server. If you want to play factions, find a faction server.
2. Faction activities can and do affect players who want nothing to do with them and instead want to play the game. This in turn lowers the quality of the experience on the server.
3. Certain factions on the server have already caused a degree of high school level drama between players, causing undue hostility and filling the chat with said drama.
4. There is power in numbers. What chance does the individual have against an army?
5. Allowing factions to form on a server is unlike allowing, say, PvP. If you don't want to PvP, don't enter the arena and don't walk out of spawn. That, however, does not apply to server factions.

I may very well be the only player who thinks this. If so, so be it, but I would welcome counterarguments.

Dannysharks has one named "Dawnbreaker", which is a reference to a sword in Skyrim.
Other sword references include my very own Glamdring.

What's the point of destroying it? Can someone fill me in?

Thank you.

LOL all are pretty good. The ones who fill the jail and feed me heads and kills are the best though.
