Parliament | Suggestions / Re: Discussion on Issues With /fly
« Last post by Noket on 7 January 2024, 05:03:46 PM »Personally I'm all for what Day's suggesting.
Fly shouldn't be something doled out as a token of favor or friendship - it encourages cliquey behavior.
I think it should normalized like many of the other non-vanilla processes (region protection, mob protect, etc), and people who want to use fly should go through an application where they state their intent of how and where it will be used.
A permit of 3 days, 7 days, or 14 days may be granted (there are just examples, not hard set numbers) upon approval. In terms of implementation, this could be a security group or permission that people are granted - there's probably other ways that Luis might settle on but it shouldn't be too tough to implement.
Finally - and I know this has come up time and time again - "this is a survival server!!1 fly is bad". Sure - but there's a lot of other things on this server that are far from vanilla. AFAIC - somebody in fly isn't in God mode, they can still be hunted with bow/arrow and would have to survive by running away - if they use the fly to retaliate/pvp, then they lose the permit.
We can also make the permits fairly expensive (maybe in the ballpark of 50-150k), again to appease the people who might argue it's too against the values of a survival server.
That said - in the situation that this passes, I hereby grant staff permission to debit my bank account to fund fly permits for build projects that a player couldn't otherwise afford, as long as it doesn't put my balance below $1M. I'll modify this permission if I change my mind at a future date - if unmodified, it may be assumed that I still grant this permission (even years into the future). Please don't ask me if I give permission - the answer is yes.
