Sounds like a pretty awesome idea. Sadly, I don't think I could participate in it because I lost access to my account and apparently Mojang doesn't get back to you about lost passwords. Also, I play Terraria instead.
Yet ANOTHER of my pathetic ideas that will never work. -_- I should have learn my lesson by now.
*sighs*
Well, on with the show.
The idea, for anyone that plays Minecraft, was that we could have a public server for PPC. The main building/place would be made to look like PPC HQ.
It would be made out of a certain material, to reflect Generic Surface. I was thinking quartz, because it's durable and looks like GS. Sort of.
There would be lots of Departments, a FicPsych medical bay with beds and healing potions, an armoury, a cafeteria, and of course the Sunflower Official's Office. Which would have a sculpture of a sunflower in it.
So, it would be kind of a RP.
But it would get kind of boring with nothing to do there, so a bunch of people would agree to be Mary Sues/Stus who would regulary attack the PPC.
So, it would be kind of a RP with two factions.
But this wouldn't be very realistic, so we could have plugins that would turn you into an Agent or Sue, and to add Clichè Wraiths and Such.
As a note, some weird freak of nature only allows me to get 1.5.2 MineCraft. So if this kicks off, please can you do something?
So. Good? Bad? Ideas? Support cannibalism? Let me know!

This website:
http://modsforminecraft.com
has some truly incredible mods listed on it. I would suggest looking into the Starminer, as it deals with the 'playing with gravity' thing. On a really incredible level. Seriously.
This video shows my very tiny segment of HQ - with some surreal gravity distortions, naturally - and it took several days to put together. So there's that. (You'll note I varied what the floor and walls were made of, sticking with 'grey' - it seemed to work)
You're also overestimating the number of people who could possibly be involved - and online at the same time. No way would you get a decent scale 'attack'. But that's okay - just reskin the mobs to be Sues, slash-wraiths, and the like.
Of course, the major problem is that no-one's yet volunteered to host it ;). I wouldn't know where to start, myself.

I mean, I don't play all that often, but I may pop on every once in a while.
However, we should think on if we want mods for this server. I've got a few mods in mind that you may want to think about.
- iChun's Portal Gun To have the RA's. And because portals are cool.
- iChun's Morph Mod For disguises. So, perhaps it will have to be described as a DORKS rather then a Disguise Genorator, but it's the spirit of the thing that counts.
- Mystcraft For missions. We would create badfic worlds with Mystcraft, and people could use the linking books to travel into the badfic. Alternatively, this is where the canons are, which we try to re-create faithfully (or steal from others who have done so already).
- Mine Little Pony ...Because I want to play as Printworthy, darn it! Besides, I think it can be set so that if you want to be a pony you can be, and if you don't you don't have to be. I'm not sure though. If that can be configured then great, if not, oh well.
- Other fandom mods because we are a fandom based community. We should have mods with items pertaining to other canons, as long as they are compatible.
That's all I got for now. Again, I totally support this venture, but I cannot guarantee I will be on all that much.
Not sure how compatible Mine Little Pony is with those other mods really. Although even if it is, I'd prefer NOT to play as a pony. There are a couple of other mods from the old Tekkit pack that could be quite nice to have (although they may have been add-ons to Buildcraft or something like that (which is a very good mod).
Another Mod (or two) that may be helpful are Rei's Minimap, because having a map and waypoints may be needed in the HQ. and Too Many Item, mainly to help with the building stage, but it can be useful otherwise was well.
As I said, I only want Mine Little Pony if you can choose to have the pony body or keep the human. If it ponifies everybody, I don't want it. This is the PPC, not the Conversion Bureau. (Google it if curious.)
There is a lot of cool stiff in all of the tekkit packs. Buildcraft is cool, though I don't know how apropriate it is for the PPC. Red Craft and Wireless Redstone would be interesting.
Ah, but you see, HQ is a bit of a maze, if you've been paying attention. That is to say, there is a map of HQ, we just can't read it. So the mini map would be useless! Besides, if we have the camouflage mod, then we could have secret passages to secret plases of secretness. Such as the pool that totally does not exist. However, if we have a map, it would show these secret plases to everybody. Still, the ability to actually get anywhere reliably is nice. Hmmm...
Ooh, expanding on that whole, 'HQ is weard' thing, what if we had qCraft? It adds quantum mechanics to blocks on the macro level. We could have walls appear and disappear depending on perspective, blocks change qualities depending on how you look at it, all kinds of quantum fun!
I'm a Not Enough Items guy. TMI is great, but NEI takes that and Recipe Books, smashes them together, adds even more features, and is just awesome. But, that's just me.
I'd go for this for sure.

You need to install a new launcher for Minecraft. Go to the official Minecraft page and go to the download link. You should obtain the program which will manage Minecraft and its future updates.
Install and enjoy 1.7.4 and your horses.
, I tried that tons of times. It never works. The system just... rejects it.
Unfortunately, I'm not very good (can't) at setting up servers. I guess I could ask my brother, but he just gives me weird looks when I start talking about assassins and hippie Sequoyas and the Department of Implausible Crossovers.
Although I think clay would make for better GS than quartz. You can make breaking blocks impossible, so durability wouldn't be an issue.
Sorry for yelling back there. But yes, this sounds absolutely epic. If we're going to use mods to make this more realistic, I suggest using Balkon's Weapons Mod, which adds such weapons as cannons, spears, knifes, muskets, boomerangs, crossbows and blowguns. >:)
So, yes. If this did get off the ground, then I would so, so, SO be in it. The only problem is that I don't actually know how to run Mutlipayer in Minecraft. :(
But I have no money. Sorry.
If someone could do this, I would play it often.
