I guess I would prefer that your age is never deleted and that "paying what you missed" would just always be a (reasonably large) flat price, whether it's been a couple seconds or a couple months. Also, we're talking about in-game items here, not real money, right?

Ya I could see that, hardcore mode should be instant deletion, softcore a week of no power then deletion but with a set amount of "rent skips", softercore would be just power off until you pay.

Hahaha yes, only items in game

Im thinking the challenges should.be randomized per player (if possible), to discourage handouts. The other side of this would be to have an economy of some sort, where I would pay my rent, then sell excess stock for resources, I suppose, but it would be neigh on impossible to enforce (maybe some Minetweaked EE3 mechanic?).

Writing it, I guess you could do both, so if player X needs sugar cane on week one and player Y needs wheat, they can leave their setups going so they have stock when somebody else gets that challenge and then trade. Not sure how I feel about that yet. Just snow balling ideas.

That seems better but I have to agree with rhn here, I certainly wouldn't play but I would probably watch it. Could be quite good fun, if the "payment" is randomised each week so the person would have to(for example) make a billion honey combs one week and a million cinnabar the next. Gets people to build interesting and crazy setups to pay their rent.
I'm assuming with a good computercraft program you get it to, on the press of a button, choose a number between <x> and <y> and choose <item> from a preset list (so that players can input extra things, unwittingly? "OH MY GOD! <item1> is so hard to find" <item1> gets added to the list)

That could actually make for a cool server. Dunno how well it'd go down though, just in case the player is on holiday that week, or something :/

That would be an exceptionally annoying server also seeing how the Aussi SMP playerbase is probably like 10% of the size of the US one and that's just for vanilla. The Aussi player-base for modded play is even more fractured.
I don't see such a server getting past 1 user, and that user would be including you. That being said don't let that deter you, but it's really REALLY hard to make a Aus based modded minecraft community.
It's hard enough to get a Vanilla server off the ground, and trust me I know this 1st hand.

The AUS minecraft community is just way too small to make hair-brained schemes like this work.
Maybe as a side server using a bungeecord setup, but not as a sole server.

Have no doubt, I'm not making a server Azzanine, this was just an idea, although, I am alot more interested with what all you other guys have come up with, I think it's a wonderful idea, although, a recommendation, if anyone does set the server up, you could have people message the owner or an admin for vacations, then their age would be backed up on a hard-drive, and restored when they log on the server again.
