A lot of people were talking about building a chaos capital, but I had and idea...Why not change the world to chaos on April fools day? We can have a save before (so the day before) and then everything can go crazy on the first.

That would halt all progress in Ponyville for a whole day and be a mess for admins.

However that does sound awesome.
We need more opinions.

we could copy some of the textures from the real chaos and past them over into the real world, if April 1st is on a Saturday or Sunday, I might be able to stay up an night and do it.

EDIT: Its a Sunday, and I can stay up all night, but this is VERY far away.

Textures?
I was thinking of just copying all of chaos over the equestria world with an outside tool. It would be very easy, and only disruptive if someone wanted to work on Ponyville on that day, which I think is acceptable.

April is very far away, but let's remember this!

Discord (admin disguised as a cow) flying around, wreaking chaos across Equestia.

Record it and voice over Discord manically laughing, and you got yourself some quality internet, right there!

I dont know why I thought we were going to remake it rather than copy it

World edit ftw. The whole process could be done by typing 2 commands, really.

Yes I know about worldedit (do I really need to say that), I specifically said I'd use an outside tool because worldedit will crash the server if you do too large of an operation, such as a 700x700 area like the chaos world.

I thought of this myself. It would be fun to just go ahead and permit griefing on everything, in every world, and just go nuts, and then just roll everything back the next morning.

Wow, that might just be the best prank ever devised.

It might also attract jerks in the long run, though.

Can griefing really be considered pranking? It's just deliberate destruction, pranking is more like a physical joke. Seeing a bunch of lava and holes is walls isn't a very good punchline. But as for creating prank traps as elaborate as I think they should be, I'm lost.

Just one day with full builder access for all users, monsters enabled, day/night enabled, and
...what the hell am I thinking, that's a terrible idea.

Or another idea is we could change the warps around just for that day...I dunno how complex that really is, so that might not work.
So we could make the ponyville warp chaos world instead and manehattan fillydelphia or something. Just an idea

I strongly oppose this idea for 3 main reasons:

1. The server could crash, maybe even for a long period of time, making new ponies think that this server isnt up much and they might not come back.
2. About 3/5 of the active server reads the forums, so the 2/5 that dont would think that the server is overrun by griefers and might not come back.
3. There is always the extremely minor chance that something could go wrong like the backup fails or the /rollback command isnt working and then we would have to wait a while to get the worlds back or we could never get it back. I know its like a 1% chance but if it does happen, that would REALLY be chaos.

Im not paranoid, Im just letting you guys know the consequences for this idea. Instead of this chaos idea and allowing griefing for a day, I propose that we hold a contest for something, make it really hard, and when someone wins, we say "April fools" :P

Yo? what do you want bro?

maybe there could be a message that plays when you spawn, like the ones in submissions telling you not to freebuild?

Changing warps wouldn't work. That'd be rage. I think the original idea to make a big chaos would work.

An idea I had is to swap blocks around. For example, sand to dirt and wool to obsidian, water to lava and cobble to sandstone. Would that work?
