    This is in response to suggestion #2 in this thread. I have quoted suggestion 2 above. Please read that before proceeding below. Suggestion one is irrelevant to this thread. Bam, read below. Thanks.

    Credits to Woozle for original thread.

    In it's current state, the way you explained it, I don't support it. I dislike the fact how you put it for donors only. There are plenty of non-donors more dedicated that most donors are right now.@Pittipla is a great example. He's been here for 2+ years if I'm not mistaken, most of that time he spent as a nondonor. It wasn't until recently that he got donor, but that's besides the point. I don't support it as it is, but I do infact support a different version of it. I'll explain it below.

    Instead of it being a donor only perk for worldguard, it should be accessible to everyone. So what I suggest is that it be added into the Skyblock Shop, most likely under the "Special" section. Regardless of rank or experience, you will be able to buy this perk. What this will entitle you to is, permissions to use worldguard on your island only, permissions to add and remove players from the list of people who can edit your region, and a region limit of 100x100. It would be kind of like buying donor, it automatically gives you perms ingame and you are able to use them right away, in most cases at least. This would probably majorly decrease the amount of bans for griefing and the amount of griefing in general. And if you've given someone perms to create/break blocks on your island, and they end up griefing, nothing will or could be done. It's your mistake and you should learn from it. Be careful who you trust when giving perms like this, if infact, this is implemented. Another reason this is a great idea is it doesn't involve Cyp whatsoever. It would all be an automated process, just as buying donor, or ingame items, or other perks in the shop are. I don't believe there should be a limit as to how many people you can allow perms to, in my opinion. Also, if you were to reset your island and get new island coordinates, there should be a way to have the worldguard removed along with the rest of the island, and have it automatically transfer to your island. Basically, it's a simple little thing that could be added, prevents a bit of griefing that also will bring in a bit more money for the server. I think that's about it.. If I can think of any more forgotten details, I will edit them below.



    Merry Christmas.

    Cyp would have to come in-game and mark each specific area. That is a lot of work. I assume it would be ocstly. There would likely be a wait before receiving this perk because Cyp would also have to adjust permissions (like coop access).
    Also, an area of 100 by 100 is unfair to neighboring islands because it cuts into others island limits.

    I only support if:
    1. This does not interfere with neighboring islands.
    2. This has a guaranteed application time of 24 hours. (I wouldn't want to buy this protection and have to wait 2 weeks)
    3. This does not produce lag.
    4. This is reasonably priced.

    1. Nahh, it would probs be automatically set to your /home
    2. and I'm not sure what the island limit is, 99x99? If it's 99x99, then that would be it
    3. I don't think this would produce lag? Maybe if then entire server had it, all nondonors and donors, then yeah, probs, but otherwise I don't think it will
    4. The price is up to Cyp, not me

    Too cheap and people will keep buying it. Too expensive and people cannot afford it, plus greenbeans may be non donors simply because they cannot afford ranks so it's not going to be more accessible.
    There probably will be no way to limit where you can set the protection if you have the permission so to could end up having someone abuse the permission and set protection on someone else's island.
    If it's linked by homes then it would be different but that would mean having to restart the whole island possibly.
    While protection always is sort after, there is no way to allow the fair protection of people's islands, and I am certain there is no way to implement it without it being coded into the skyblock plugin much like org.
    I just can't support this idea.

    To be honest, it would be ok... but cyp would have to set the permissions up, i do not think they would be able to be done automatically. Cyp would probably have to manually protect things. If 250 donors get the permissions to set up their own protected region that would work, but... how can there be limits on how many times you use it. I would say if anything region protection could be a 400 donor perk, but the ability to add players such as coops be the permission given in that rank.
    Then of course mods need to have automatic access, but I believe much like org, lockettes are interfered with.
    So given that its best not to have protection for all players, and... i guess play on org for the protection.
