This server is a modded SMP that is all about bounties and PvP and it is based in NA West.
They do an interview to join and they have clear rules so things do not get out of control. You can steal but you are not supposed to be annoying about it and heavy griefing is not allowed. Racism and harassment are not allowed.
Every week they spin a wheel with everyones username then it goes on a chart. You try to collect player heads and turn them in for a prize. If a bounty is not collected by the end of the week you get a random debuff for a whole week.
If someone breaks rules they put out a poll to decide what happens like a ban temp ban apology statement or just letting it go. There is also tpa and player head drops.

The map is a finite 2500 by 2500 world so you run into people a lot. The rules are semi anarchy where anarchy is allowed but random griefing with no story or purpose can get rolled back to help the long term SMP narrative.
