The objective of the game is to make it into the throne room and kill the king (a statue on a throne). The room may be decorated.

And finally, you may take ONE of the following items per life.

1 Bucket of Lava (limited)
Can we decorate the statue with our lava? Or pull similar stunts like that?
I like the idea of PVP competitions, but I think we need a few rules against things like decorating your throne room with lava (such as on the outside to stop external assault, creating the throne room atop a tower so that you can drop lava with impunity on the people who get in, or dousing the throne itself in lava).
Also, I see no reason not to allow blocking up the throne room. It just means you have to cut a way out if you're on that team and cut a way in if you aren't. It's just a short obstacle.
If this works out, we should not limit it to wood/dirt/cobblestone. Treehouse styles, desert styles, island hopping styles, etc. would also be great.
I think iron doors and cacti should be allowed. Cacti are just a weak defense, but they can slow a few attacks down, and can be used alongside a dispenser trap. Iron doors, are also good ways to add some slowing down of enemies. Perhaps if allowed, they should be treated as indestructable?
Finally, I think the thrones need to be made of lapiz lazuli blocks and the statue/king of diamond, just as a way to make it distinguishable.
So, I like this idea. I would love to play in it sometime.
