The Dwarfs - Some Place Safe

[Edited by Orphanix]

Hello, all. Welcome to V2.0 of our faction's post. We are...

The Dwarfs
Collectivism | Safety | Prosperity

We work on 4 principles, and a collective principle.

1) Any hostility, theft, or continued threats to our members will not be tolerated.

2) We are a faction of giving and sharing. While leading members have access to all of the good, and lower down members have only open access to less expensive commodities, anything, within reason, will be given if you ask. All common goods will be distributed evenly amongst members, with some of the higher exclusive items being reserved for those more revered. You will be expected to give most of what you mine - including valuables such as Diamond - to the faction pool. You can keep whatever you mine for yourself, but it is discouraged, and it prevents growth of the faction as a whole. Note that by giving, you shall also receive, and refusing to give some portion of found valuables will result in mirror treatment. That is to say, if you want the Diamond you just mined, give it to faction leadership or bank management, and ask for it back. If you start to acquire surplus, it will be better used to be added as general backup for the faction and/or faction growth and faction leadership.

3)Tranquility and Unification: Unless war is declared on another faction - which will be a rare and extreme circumstance - griefing, informally declaring war on, stealing from, or impeding the growth of a faction of a faction as a whole is not permitted and strongly discouraged. We exist, and the world exists and functions on peace. Hostility to factions - without near-unanimous declarations of war on the faction you are raising hostility with - is not permitted.

4)Selection: We do not choose just anyone to join our faction. Individuals with particularly violent pasts will not be allowed admittance unless they present extremely strong evidence that such actions are behind them. Forgiveness is always an option, and we do not brand individuals with our eternal judgment. Know that if you have a violent past, or violent tendencies, or are conservative in your item collection habits, this is not the faction for you.

The collective principle that comes from this all is as follows: Be generous, collective, peaceful, loyal, and accepting. This is what being a member of The Dwarfs is about.

Make sure you follow all server rules. We have a floating base, yes, and that, honestly is borderline against the rules. Do not make it even more out of place by growing floating trees. Floating trees are against the rules.

In times of war, we will expect you to conserve what you have and hand anything else that you don't need to the governing body, if needed. Your supplies, especially Obsidian, Diamond, Iron, etc, could be very useful to a war effort, or to scare away hostile raiding parties (like the Conquest-Hungry Yakuza).

Original Post:

Me and Bike have created a new faction composed of mr_kapt Bike_man and orphorix.
we are a anti war faction that wishes to create prosperity to others rather then destruction.

=== Like any other faction we have rules. violating will get you removed from the faction.

#1 the most important rule
---- we dont not allow any act of of agravation of greifing amoung our members.

#2 how we work
---- we have a faction of giving, anything you get goes to us and is distributed through out the members who need it. we also will asign party jobs. in other words we will have one person who runs repairs on items or get food for us.in the end what you give us goes back to you


#3 unifacation
---- any greifing to another faction is not allowed even if provoked. we have seen what happens and it only makes matters worse.

#4 selection
---- if we want you in or faction its a honor. we allow only the kindest of poeple to join. if you have comminted any act of aggravation to somone odds are not likely you will be accepted. however forgiveness is always a option.

those are about the only rules we have we prefer to resort to non acts of war as it only does damage.

=== we seek to ally all factions and we will have no enemys.

we would be honored to have you in our faction and your safty is our top objective.


====({ If you are tired of being greifed our killed we will offer protection for you)}====

we are up 2 4 members! going quicker tehn i thought...

-----([ welocome rogerspj01])-----

I hate to say this, but roger did just get kicked out of Demacia for grefing.

And also, what's the name of this faction?

Interesting, TJ. it's a good thing I'm the sole admin, then, because Kapt was about to let him in without a Minecraft equivalent of a background check.

We are the Dwarfs, (name subject to change to Dwarves, not sure yet) and I'll soon be re-posting our faction's thread when I have the time. Kyle is more of a speaker, not a typist.

*cough*communism*cough*

im quite impressed orphanix on your editing skills and your vocabulary.

thank you for taking the time to do this

Very, very good job Orphanix! This wholly resembles what I had in mind for the faction, and I didn't even have to spend half an hour making it.

We do not formulate ourselves upon Marxist tendencies, and I actually thought of the faction's name while I was reading a Warhammer 40K book. While the main principles will stay the same, I hope to add more information about the faction that sort of mirrors the book. One such example is dedication to quality: Even the most rough materials crafted by a Dwarf have an exceptional quality to them. Transferring this to Minecraft, what we build isn't perfect, but thought out, tested, and of quality.

I -love- Warhammer 40k.

And I had Marxist Ideals and The Greater Good in mind when I wrote that. I hoped you wouldn't mind if I took the big jump.

Hi guys, I find your faction intresting...mostly because im sick of griefers.

I will be happy to donate anything I get to the faction pool.

I am pretty good at mining...I was wondering if I could pay to get some one to build me a house...

or if I could be let loose and build something intresting like a hotair balloon(big one) over the base. that would be my house?

[{edit}]-Just so you know I'm not whitelisted yet.

i would gladly have you with us. i will soon try to get you on our faction if that is what you wish. i dont think we need a hot air ballin though we are currently working on a sky city.

however if you want to stay in our faction for a little while for safty reasons i wouldnt mind it at all.

We actually have several designs for a faction home, but currently are implementing a sky castle/city. It levitates far above the ground and centers on a 2 by 2 column of water, and is accessible only by faction home teleport (/f home) or by riding a boat up the water. It's base will be spherical and made of smooth stone. It isn't connected to the ground otherwise, because it's meant to be levitating on water. It's also a very safe home, as the only way up for strangers is the water and it can be safeguarded against entry by several means. Construction is continuing slowly but surely, and even though boats lag in the server, I hope it'll work out in the long run. Grass has also (slowly) grown all the way up.

Another idea is similar to the sky castle, except the castle's base is made completely out of wood and filled with water. You would then build atop the water like Venice. I call it The Super Bowl.

And finally, we could simply excavate a square chunk of land to 15 or so above bedrock completely and call it 'The World Hole'. The only difference between it and building on the surface is coolness and you need a good way up and down.

Feel free to comment, and remember: The more who join, the bigger these ideas can be.

sky castle sounds fun....perhaps one of the admins would be nice enouth to world edit us a 70*70*5 floating thing of wool at about 20-30 blocks below max hight...

we could pay for it hem sounds expensive tho lol

hey that would be nice...
but we really can't do that

no? ok perhaps not...any way im in game atm if you want to chuck us an invite.

i have started building a farm..and have some basic resorses.

(i do enjoy being a farmer:D...)

as i said ign is deadspark...add me soon plz

I will but im not the best with my computer as it is a fossil.... but i updated to the 1.5 and now im waiting for the server to update. No rush though i will promise to invite you asap.

Add this to the main post: To join the faction, you must first post on the forums. Mostly to prove you're really interested, and that you can post on our thread if you need to.

im glad to have another member. we are up to 6 now!
welcome joshdread

ill join
kinda new and looking for a non-PVP guild at the time

Seems like fun. May I ask to join?

im glad you 2 would like to join us. as soon as we are on ask us and we will add you to our faction.

i would love to join as well.i think this faction would be perfect for me.

Not to be mean or anything but it says "The Dwarfs - Some place safe" when honestly I would seriously question it's safety. I managed to walk right in the front door which happened to be left open and get free wheat in an unlocked chest.

thats area 52 our training area. we have a floating castle as our home. and in area 52 our land is cliamed so unless your enemy you cant hurt us. 1 more thing did you lock that chest?


sirriku id love to have you in our faction ill get you in as soon as i can

Why would I lock it?

thats why im asking
