Anarcho-Capitalist Minecraft Society

[Tree Frog]

So glad to see other gamers here! 

 

When ever I play Minecraft (Typically modded ex: Voltz) with my friends we usually split off into multiple "nations" based on our  beliefs/interests. These nations typically have 5 people living in them and will periodically go to war. The nations also have times of peace and trade with one another. 

 

To explain a typical game, I will have a friend that chooses to create a Communist Nation (Arstotska), another a Fascist Nation (Austratt), and me typically a Voluntarist Nation dubbed "Libertaria". All of these nations follow these economy types. For example, in my nation we have no centralized government like in the other two. Protection and services is provided by businesses and corporations. There are no Taxes, but there is a charity donation in which people donate supplies voluntarily to construct roads and build walls. Libertaria typically has the largest and wealthiest economy. However we usually lack a strong offensive but make up in defense ( Following non-aggression). We promote self-protection of property and suggest that private citizens build their own defenses if they wish. 

 

This is always really fun but also almost always ends in broken friendships  LOL. My friends have an adequate knowledge of economy and government but not enough so that we can create the picture perfect idea of an anarcho-capitalist society. Crap always ends up in voting, then eventually a power grab.

 

I would like to try creating a society like this in either vanilla or modded to put FDRs knowledge of free-market principle and anarchy to the test. 

 

Would anyone be up for something like this? It would be a great learning experience to see what a voluntaryist society might look like.

I'm so down, IP?

I'm so down, IP?

First I need to get a rough starting number of people to find out how much RAM I need to allocate. Then we need to decide on vanilla or use a mod pack.

I am not a minecraft player, but I just thought I would leave this here...

Have you guys not played Civcraft? http://reddit.com/r/civcraft I was there in the "golden days" when most players were ancaps, not sure the demographics now.

I tried Civcraft recently. I didn't like it all. It was all spaced out, dead, no activity, not for me.

 

I also heard it's full of marxists now, so...

 

Also, I would prefer a vanilla server, but I'm not picky.

Oh god! I always dreamed of this!

I always wanted to set up something like this but had no experience in setting up minecraft servers, so that's a shame.

 

I read about HeroCraft, which is a server reformed into a mmo with a storyline, quests, levels, etc. and then I started thinking what else

one could do with Minecraft.. this was exactly my idea!

 

I'm in, 100% and preferably vanilla.

Edit: I never heard of CivCraft, but started reading their introduction, I do like these changes though.
It would change the gameplay to a more realistic side, and still have the Minecraft feel.

Okay, Since I have gotten a bit of support. I think I will set it up. Vanilla. I wont be playing on it much during the week but will try to keep it up 24/7. 

[Sir Exotic]

Great, so how are we going to do this?Are we going to let everyone decide what to do for themselves like throwing everyone in the Anarchy pit, or will we set up some rules which to play by? It's still a game after all.

[Tree Frog]

Well Anarchy means no rulers (government) not no rules. Just like 5 year olds make up rules to their backyard games without an outside party. We will operate similarly... Following the non-aggression principle and property rights.  

[Sir Exotic]

Sure, what about any ingame related rules we should abide by, or will we just play Minecraft everyone else does but by following the NAP and property rights? That sounds like a simple survival server where pvp and griefing is turned off

I think PVP and Griefing should be turned on, so that we can practice our peaceful lifestyles in Minecraft. We can regulate ourselves through the NAP.

 

Also, how do you even turn off griefing?

Good point, I like the idea of total Anarchy and we have to rely on eachother's compassion and the NAP.You could disable griefing by letting people claim land where only they can build, which most survival servers have.
