but what would each job do? How would this work?

All I see is a bunch of jobs with no clear purpose, some that aren't even possible in MC. Sounds confusing to me. (also the drugs and alcohol thing doesn't really fit in on a family server.)

 

There's a plugin ive seen for jobs that includes a few of those. Idk how well they plugin works though, only that it exists

 

+1 we need more drug deals and alcohol on this server

 

Could I be a priest and a gang leader at the same time?

 

Nice 7 hour old account, probably an alt of a "Dank Meme Squad" member.

-1 young kids on ECC shouldn't be able to pretend "get drunk" and commit illegal activities

 

Lol, I actually doubt that tbh - Dank Meme Squad.

Anyway, +1 I want to be a Mafia Boss and have @matrix_rep as my personal bodyguard/hit man and the dank meme squad as my thugs.

 

Yes. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ne...d-as-gang-leader/story-fni0xqlk-1226690551942

 

Omg can I be a ceo and make damn moneyz http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-schwarzmans-billion-dollar-paycheck-2015-3

No sanks.

 

I'm going to have to disagree with this idea on a number of points. First of all, some of these jobs already exist in-game and don't need specific titles. We don't need permanent jobs either. Almost nobody works more than a few hours at a time for another person, with the exception of construction jobs, which are temporary anyway. Most people work for themselves in the Mining world and with farms, and against each other in the Survival Games. I also don't find it ethically right to have someone log into a Minecraft server as immersive and fun as this one to simply work for another player every time they log on. There is not a constant tax placed on you here, and neither should there be a constant job. People don't come here to be labeled by anything other than their username, which is defined by the player and may be changed at will, their rank, which they are able to earn themselves if they are willing to do so, their amount of donations, which they can determine as long as they are not poor, and their own unique tag, which gives the player a symbol or word to associate with themselves and define themselves outside of their username. They don't want to be labeled by something they don't want, especially if their time on Minecraft or ECC is meant to be relaxing or fun, which I would say it is for the vast majority of users. While these jobs are chosen, they just don't fit with our server. Almost all of the jobs on that list that don't exist now in ECC will not exist in the future on ECC. This is meant to be a server where you make your way up the ranks and earn money, and is not and has never meant to be a realistic depiction of real life. The economy does not perfectly resemble real life either. Though it is somewhat realistic, it has not, does not, and will not need jobs such as these. Now, onto each of your suggestions for jobs.

Suggestion A: Getting married- already unofficially exists. An official marriage system would complicate things- we don't need to have realistic marriages and divorces. Having them be server-based is unnecessary, and the experience can exist unofficially.

Suggestion 1: Business owner- these already exist and you don't need job titles for them.

Suggestion 2: Salesman- Trade signs, the trade channel, and the auction channel work just fine for this. No one does this all of the time. Given the amount of players on the server, you wouldn't do a lot either.

Suggestion 3: Factory Worker- Why would you ever need a factory worker? This job is not necessary, needed, or even wanted on this server, as there's really nothing to make.

Suggestion 4: Mechanic- Replace "make" with "fix" and "Factory worker" with "Mechanic" in the last response.

Suggestion 5: Police Officer- This is essentially a Moderator. If you want to play cops and robbers, you can do it with your friends, not with the server itself.

Suggestion 6: Fire Fighter- Bad fires almost never happen, and when they do, there are plenty of water donators to go around if you need help. This is completely unnecessary in my opinion.

Suggestion 7: Guard- This is pretty much never needed on this server. The only reason I would see for this idea is if a town was coming under attack by one of its members, which as far as I'm concerned has never started from outside a town gate. This would also be pretty ho-hum also.

Suggestion 8: Doctor- Wait, what? We don't need doctors on this server. If you have low health, then you can always eat food, buy food, make potions, or buy potions.

Suggestion 9: Club Manager- We have clubs, they get managed. This already exists and does not need to be an exclusive job.

Suggestion 10: Priest- This server is not religious. If you would like to hold sermons privately and without staff or the global channel involved, feel free to do so. ECC cannot and will not hire Priests for as long as it lasts. Not even last rites, if it comes to that time.

Suggestion 11: Cleaner- This job is like cleaning up a bad grief, right? A normal building/household cleaner would do absolutely nothing.

Suggestion 12: Teacher- /help and /tutorial function as good teachers. The staff team alternates between teaching the server, and they're really the only teachers needed besides the two commands aforementioned.

Suggestion 13-14: Gang stuff- People can make their own clubs. To have the server itself call them gangs would cause a serious shift towards illegal activity. There's plenty of illegal scams that have already, and most likely, will occur. We should have less illegal activity, not more.

Suggestion 15: Bounty hunter- Bounties exist. They're rare enough so that this wouldn't work as a job.

Suggestion 16: Pickpocket- Like taking stuff from chests? Go ahead, as long as it's legal where you live. Not a job though.

Suggestion 17: CEO- See 1.

Suggestion 18: Waiter/Waitress- you don't need these on here. The limited amount of restaurants that do exist on ECC can easily give you food, no need for this job.

Suggestion 19: Actor/Actress- Movies on here are rare; if you want to be an actor or actress on here, you'll also need to be your own director and everything. A YouTuber may count as an actor/actress, but that doesn't usually become a job unless you have many, many followers.

Suggestion 20: President- That's a rank on here, if you don't know. Lots and lots of people have it. If you want the equivalent of an American President, we have Physicistsmom. We don't need to elect staff- the staff determines the newer staff members based on whether they have earned it or not, and do not operate without injustice in my personal opinion.

Suggestion 21: Builder- Also a rank on here, and is a very popular job as well.

Suggestion 22: Bartender- Drugs/Alcohol are not allowed on ECC. Bartenders who serve potions should be fine, however. But to have this as an official job would present an adult theme that is not needed on this server- at all.

Finally, in your reasoning, you said that this would make the server more fun. I think you can tell from my first paragraph that I do not believe this is the case. Sorry, but jobs are just not for ECC.

TL;DR DANK MEMES 5EVER

 

Agreed, but you should try to read it. It actually says something that doesn't have to do with dank memes, believe it or not. It's something that's pretty important for Leo to read if you ask me.

 

Yes, I actually did take time to read it afterwards.

 

This says everything I would. This suggestion would make ECC more limited for players and radically change how we play-after all, who will code all of it in? Who will make the jobs things that actually work and how would the things necessary be inputed? (ie. where the bars would be and how they work, where the mafias would be, all the extra maps and areas needed to be added) ? That is a huge hole in this idea-and this suggestion is NOT a family-friendly idea. ECC promises itself to be family friendly, and the staff will never change it, until Notch manages to reclaim Mojang from Microsoft (which will likely never happen).

-1 all the way
