What plugins does this server utilize to keep things safe and what sets this server apart from others?
-
I hope that it has a map generated with this (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1032&t=341514).

Excellent find, Alex! Speaking of BTM, any word on whether or not a final release has been, er.. Released? And in your opinion, does it look like this new version of it will be the most widely used successor to BTM?
-
As far as I know, this IS BTM, but under a different name to celebrate the new release.
And I couldn't even test it even though I've tried everything to get it to work.
-
Ahh. Well, it's good to know that there's a stable, working version of-... ... Of course.
-
This server's pretty nice. You guys mind if I invite some friends from another forum? We're just a small bunch that screw around and have fun.

Joined. Flying isn't allowed? Darn.
Got kicked mid-flight and now it won't let me join the server...

It was fine after that.

That's prolly due to you spawning like 50 miles above land :V Happened to me too.
Nice server, but how many forums did you advertise this on? I'm seeing guys from Hongfire and shit. Also, can you sign out when you're not active, as if you dont sign out then we cant skip the night.

I'll be getting on the server in an hour or two. Which things your house, Bi?

Think I'll check this out in a bit, though my computer struggles somewhat online.

You should, The servers pretty cool.
Also I forgot to get on the server so I might as well get on in like a minute or two.
-
The lag is just insane. Can't do anything here at the moment lol
-
The lag is just insane. Can't do anything here at the moment lol
hey I came here to mention that you post stealer
Anyways yeah, The lags pretty bad. With my above-average net, it's pretty obvious the whole "after you mine a block it comes right back and you teleport right where you were before" thing is serverside. Can you get a fix for this?
btw this also happens when I'm the only one in the server.
-
I'll get to work on it. Not sure if it has to do with my sister using the host computer or not, or if it's my internet.
-
Fixed the lag issues the server was having. Seems a ton of memory was being used. (500+mb)
All I had to do was restart the server and the memory usage went back down to normal.
I shall now begin restarting the server daily to prevent this from happening without me knowing again.
-
Makes perfect sense to me, its a trait in minecraft that it sometimes hyper bloats to insane size. I've seen it go over 800mb on my computer before.
I'll give it a go now then.
EDIT : Errr... whoever demonic aidian is, Sorry about that, a creeper just got me because lollag
its better than it was last time lagwise actually, so maybe its now my end, as what kips said was happening is happening to me now, and before that all i got was disappearing blocks, to register anything I'd have had to log in and out.

And so will I.
Edit: DDR, There's been ocassional lag spikes lately. When they happen, it lags a lot. Any way to fix this?
-
I'm going to guess that's caused by the random Rain/Snow. Which is REALLY annoying.
-
So the lag is fixed now? Had problems growing trees with bonemeal, but if it's fixed then it should be ok now.
Oh yes, anything not connected by wooden platforms can be cut down. Set a tree on fire and I will kill you.I hope you dont mind me cutting half of it down :V
I'll be getting on the server in an hour or two. Which things your house, Bi?
The huge trees growing on trees, which grow on other trees, which are connected by wooden planks and a house I built with my cousin, and with HUNDREDS of creepers everywhere on the ground.
-
Dude, I love what you did with my backyard. Now wheres my god damned rent :V
anyways yeah. Would you believe that three creepers jumped from YOUR building, right next to me, and exploded? All at the same time, netting me a grand total of 0 gunpowder?
Ya gotta get that fixed :V
-
I'm doing scientific experiments. So far, I've bred tree creepers and skeletons. Eventually I'll make them fly, and then we'll all be screwed.
-
No, you'll be screwed. The second creepers fly is the second I get trigger-happy with my flint n steel, and we dont want that now do we? :3
-
This is why I should invest in a bow and arrow, a creeper religious sect is happening directly under me.
No, you'll be screwed. The second creepers fly is the second I get trigger-happy with my flint n steel, and we dont want that now do we? :3
Ohoho, I see how it is. Think of your backyard as a nature park, where green things like to make their homes on the treetops. And yeah, I'm going to add water to lessen the chance of "instantaneous combustion".
You're going to cause global warming in minecraft if you do that. It's already bad enough with all the coal we're burning.

But in all honesty, If you need help figuring out the spots where Creeper's spawn, well, just put a torch every 4 blocks.
Also you could go on a giant sand hunt and look for like 10 stacks of sand to make lots of glass. So you know, Creeper's dont jump down and completely explode right behind me in a very painful manner.
Also I'm suprised I even lived a close-up explosion. I only had a half-dead hat on (which promptly died afterwards). Now I need to get a lotta iron or leather.
-
I MUST TORCH EVERYTHING.
...
and not in the sense of BURN EVERYTHING.
-
It'd be smart to make stone walls. You know, In case we have an accident involving creepers and fire. Lots of fire. Burn. Burning everything.
also I'm trying to move away from spawn as I JUST CANT STOP TAKING ALL THIS SUGARCANE AHHHHHHHHHH MUST MAKE A MILLION BOOKSHELVES
-
So, uh, does anybody know where the hell I am? I'm stuck in a cavern with eight blocks of dirt...

Guys
I found coal

Guys, if you see a giant ice lake with a weird cobblestone pattern, do not mess with it. At all. Also, I'll pay you if you help me clear out the mountains in the area. Just contact me before you do anything.

Protip: Ask DDR you use a bnoid command or whatever it was. You know, clears everything within two set points?

In response, I ask for a refresh on the server, it's lagging like hell.

Trying to get LWC protection to work, but I can't get it to work for the regular players on my server. Here is what my groups.txt looks like:
#Add your groups here (When adding your entry DO NOT include #!)

#For administrative powers set admin/unrestricted to 2.
#For no restrictions and ability to give out items set it to 1.
#If you don't want the group to be able to build set it to -1.
#Inherited groups and admin/unrestricted are optional.
#Examples:

This should have everything you need to know. Enjoy!
-
The only thing that you really may need is some sort of Mob Control. I cant tell you HOW many times I've been killed by creepers, and if not that with less then a heart left. And the fact they've always been fucking up my crops everytime I come to check on them (at least the important ones).
-

I'll try to get this stuff set when I have time and the server has some downtime.
-
Also I forgot to mention in my first post due to be obessed with MiLLeY dancing, What are you using to host? As it's also quite annoying to kill mobs and such. I dont wanna seem like a whiney bitch, and I love the server, But there shouldn't EVER be so much lag where I see a pig in one spot and its two blocks away when I'm the only person online. And I know its not my net, As I've got pretty good net.
-
Kips - Ahh, but that's more player error than everything else. Deaths caused by hostile enemies can be avoided by being more cautious, a better fighter, well-prepared or all three. Most of the plugins recommended in essentials.txt are for keeping the server safe from griefers, thieves and players who mean well, but are prone to accidents which could be harmful for others, like accidentally setting someone's home or an entire forest on fire. One thing you might like is how one of the most highly recommended plugins in it- WorldGuard- gives the server owner the ability to disable creeper terrain damage, among other things. As for friendly mobs spawning near, then trampling your crops, get rid of any grass blocks nearby. They'll spawn on grass, but not dirt or tilled soil.
DDR - Sounds great! I look forward to seeing what this server becomes in the future!
-
Read the problem I just posted first. It's kinda hard to kill a creeper when they either
a. are too laggy to hit
b. theres a hole in the ground but they're still "there"
c. Just plain sneaking up on me.
also yeah I already know most of this but still it's not the fact of terrain damage its the fact I keep getting smacked around like a tennis ball by creepers. I have horrible luck.
-
Yeah, it takes nearly a minute after you right-click a chest or furnace for the chest or furnace screen to show up.
Also, I'm pretty sure my iron got stolen.
-
All of which can be solved by being more cautious- placing more torches in areas you plan on being to prevent creeper encounters from ever happening, or just keeping a more watchful eye out for 'em to avoid 'em when they do come around- being a better fighter- self-explanatory, but not something you can instantly change on a whim, I understand- or being well-prepared- for example, while wearing a brand new set of iron armor, two creepers could explode a single block away from you at the exact same time and I guarantee that not only would you survive, you'd still have MORE than half your health left, if not 8.5+ hearts. Aaand on that note, what's your in-game name so that I can donate enough iron to you for a full set of armor?
-
No need to donate iron if you dont want to. But you do know whats right behind my house I cant seem to move out of right?
A giant treehouse. Aka a creeper farm. They somehow see me like 40 blocks away at least and book it towards me with no hesitation and DEAD. I can try to avoid the problem as much as I can, but if I need to i'll ask for iron if that's fine.
a final thing I want to say is that jesus christ this server has an ungodly amount of gold like right under my house. It's scary.
-
There's also a shitload of iron everywhere.
Also, sorry, Kips. Every time it turns night I have to run to your house. :P
I'll leave something in a chest for you sometime because I feel bad...
-
Oh, then don't mind- I DO want to! :3 It's the whole reason I took the time to mine so much in the first place! I have nothing to do with all of it but give it away. Who are you so I can give you some? As for creepers doing that, yeah~, that's annoying. Not just that, but... Well, use an x-ray texture pack. Look at a spider ten blocks away through ten blocks, all completely solid. That spider won't just look back at you, it'll come running directly at you and come to a stop/come to a stop and start spinning in place when it gets as close as it possibly can to you. It'll know where you are no matter what's between you and it. I really dislike that.
-
I've been wanting to get an x-ray texture pack, and recommendations?
And moo, You dont have to give anything. If you really want, Take some of what you think may not be important to me, and make a sign saying what you took afterwords if possible. I've got more bookshelves then what I know what to do with, as I only really truly need 2 stacks.
-
Oh, right. Do Minecraft texture packs support semi-transparency? I like to see where I'm going, and the x-ray packs are kinda confusing.
-
Ohhh yes. There's definitely one I could recommend... :3
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1021&t=171726
Moo - Unfortunately, no. ;_; I tried experimenting with it. Had 0 success. Now, it DOES support semi-transparency for SOME things- like pumpkinblur.png, which I've changed around to support night vision pumpkin helmets in most of my packs- but for almost everything else, semi-transparency doesn't work at all. For example, with terrain.png, at an alpha curve of 26 and above everything's 100% solid. At 25 and below everything's 100% invisible.
Edit - The delay can now be measured in minutes, not just seconds. I'll probably be back on tomorrow.
-
For those wondering about the massive delay, it's because I was uploading to Youtube. I am a Let's Player after all.
I could totally get a dedicated server as I could pay for it no problem, but we need more regular players first.
-
I've seen quite a few people on. There's PX, Eraiya, And I can easily get a few friends to join on in. The only problem is not everyone is always on at the same time, but I have seen quite a few different people.

Hey, anybody want to help with my monster trap/farm? Somebody was nice enough to calculate it on youtube, and here's the results.
"hey for everyone planning on building this, here's some numbers for you, in order to build everything(except the canals) it will take 27733 blocks of cobblestone, that includes the tiles as well. plus add a thousand or two for the inner paths and such, ive m ade mine in about 1 week, so be ready to spend time unless you use McEdit"
27733
"27733"
Yeah, I need cobblestone. LOTS of cobblestone. :colonveeplusalpha:
Anybody have 433 stacks of cobblestone? I've used up about 50 stacks already.
-
Wouldn't it be easier to dig the shape of the mob trap into the ground, instead of digging out 28-30k blocks from the ground, then placing them back down in the environment in a different shape? Also, I once mined out 32k blocks to clear a large hill for a silly project. Minus the four hours spent collecting some 1,100 yellow flowers, it took fourteen hours over the course of two days to clear that area using iron picks and shovels the whole way.
-

In the video, it looks like you're using an ancient version of minecraft_server.exe from early-mid Alpha, but that line "Starting minecraft server version beta 1.5_02" begs to differ... Hmm. The first problem seems to start with LWC at "Could not load 'pluginsLWC.jar' in folder 'plugins':" Bukkit and Permissions both seem to be working fine, but then BigBrother doesn't seem to be working... At all. On the bright side, WorldEdit and WorldGuard seem to be working flawlessly, though you need to configure WorldGuard's specifics to protect the server. With the way you had it set up in the video, it works, but.. It's not set to do anything that'll actually protect the server, aside from single sessions being enforced, so you should definitely mess around with its configuration when you have some free time.
Working: Bukkit and its sub-plugins, Permissions, WorldEdit, WorldGuard
Not Working: LWC, BigBrother
LWC - Make sure that pluginsLWC.jar is in your "plugins" folder AND spelled exactly like that. It may be case-sensitive; assume it is.
BigBrother - It seems to be trying to find a bunch of information it needs to run properly by searching through websites where that information is supposed to be hosted. The only advice I could offer for getting this one to work would be to wait for a newer build to come out, or seeing if a newer one's out now.
-
I have LWC.jar but not pluginsLWC.jar
I can't find any info about this on Google. Could you tell me what you mean please?

Hi, this is KoishiKomeiji from the server, and i'm wondering .... is the chest protection automatic or is there a command? i cant seem to find the command for it and i got iron stolen from me again ;[
-
I believe there's some sort of command. Type in /help
Also yeah I forgot to get on the server mainly due to I'm running a CYOA somewhere and that is taking up all my time I will be on tomorrow though
-
i did type /help o.o i went through all the pages and no command for chest protection came up
-
For some reason, I can't log into the server. What gives?

Hey, DDR, could you please keep the status of the server on the original post? The thing in your signature doesn't seem to work...
-
Playing from uni, so having some success here~!
got a little mine on the go now very near the spawn point. found a hole no one had claimed. yoink!
-
So I got it working today, I can play on the university computers. The observant ammoung you may have noticed a new tower of strange shape not too far from the spawn point. Yar, mine. Also someone with a bow do something about that creeper jammed between the two walls before it blows shit up. I built that second wall to stop creepers getting to the actual building, and before I could finish it one of the fucking things got stuck in there. :V
half a second of lag = too dangerous to go after it :(
-
DDR, is it possible to get a Cartographer view of the map? I'd like to get an idea of where people are building stuff so I can go check it out.
Also did you put tons of fire in your house to keep people out D:
-
Looking for
bitchesslaves willing workers to help me finish this damn thing I'm building. You should be able to find it by looking North East of the spawn area. It pierces the heavens, so you can't miss it. Btw, can you fix the /compass command?

Wait, was it a door in a cave that led to a room which had stairs going up to a non-finished tower?
'Cause so help me God if you just claimed my house, that I was about to put a sign on until my Internet went out.
-

The tower doesn't have a sign on it just yet, but the staircase inside that cave was the original door, and has a sign just above it displaying that it was mine. :V
its got a lot more in there than that too. Non-finished? it was done actually! (aside from exterior wall not being tall enough)
-
Was there a single bed and chest at the top of said tower?
If it is mine, I'd be willing to let you live there, you would just have to help me finish building the rest of the tower/mining the rest of the cave.
And that creeper you mentioned might be the one I had sitting outside. It doesn't do anything, it just... watches...
-
ah wait no, I think I know where you are talking about. Nah I built mine from scratch. Just across are some places that are similar to how mine used to be. I can see a cobble tower from my cobble tower. I did at some point accidently mine into another mine building an underground farm. but I blocked that off.
If yours has a bookcase on the staircase next to the door, then you happen to be that neighbor. :V
My area has no beds, I haven't been blessed with sheep of suicidal tendancies to get any. And the spiders I've killed were all carrying nothing. :(
Also my tower kind of looks like its got faces on all sides, and the entrance is suspended in the air with a thin staircase up. You'll know it when you see it, the achetechture isn't square as i've used staircase and slab blocks to make it so it wouldn't be entirely.
I agree with the cartograph notion, I want to go outside and screenie this place, but my home computer lags too much. all I've managed to do is get some signs up, and I dare not try and walk past the entrance (which is instead blocked with gravel) as I don't fancy an exploding penis coming after me.
-
Don't mind: all mobs, hostile or otherwise, despawn eventually. It's only a matter of time, and in most cases, it's usually only a short few minutes.
-
Yeah, I kill creepers by covering them with dirt. And then leaving.

This server still running? I tried logging in on wednesday and had no success.

It's been down all week.

He's been streaming, so he turns off the server for bandwidth. And how the server is outdated due to the 1.6 patch.

Damn, did it take some work to find those last two. But I agree with Stuff. Notch outright lied about fixing some of the CPU issues. It's even been said that he's made such issues worse, rather than better. The general consensus is that it's better to stick to 1.5 for now.

I was just thinking about the 1.5 thing. Notch has made update 1.6.5 now, but its still shite.
1.6 should really just be a forgotten era, notch should take 1.5 and update that to 1.7 with the new features and leave the bugs be. personally, i thought 1.5_01 was pretty near flawless. Yeah it had bugs, but none of them were game breakers. infact most of them were useful.

And yes the server is still down because I'm thinking of going for 1.5 or 1.6 still. Those hatches are promising...

1.6 had some bad rendering issues, problems with sucking up processor time, issues with lagging up servers worse despite promising the opposite, minecart double boosters were removed as he said they would be, but now minecarts and powered minecarts do not work together (still not fixed in 1.6.5) maps are pretty crappy.
I admit hatches look good but they aren't worth how much the game is otherwise buggered up by the update.

No 1.6, no go. I guess I'll play alone some more.

What kind of bugs are there?
These kinds. (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Patch_notes) True to his word, he fixed some one hundred bugs. In return, over the course of the past two days, he's also made an additional hundred+ bugs, in addition to the hundreds already in-game before this. Good ol' reliable Notch.
-
Enjoy. (http://www.mediafire.com/?0qx57nq14kq8yex) <3
Er, how do I turn the see through everything but ores mod off?
-
I'm going to now work on getting the server back up for 1.6.6
Notch says he fixed the game-breaking bed bugs.
-
SERVER IS FINALLY BACK UP AFTER ALL THIS TIME!
Working plugins:
DeathTpPlus
WorldGuard
WorldEdit
Essentials
Permissions
LWC (FINALLY)
BigBrother (FINALLY)
SpawnMob (It'll allow me to create epic server events)
Nether (The built-in nether that Notch added was NOT working properly.
Again as always, report any bugs to me. Note that when you join this server, you'll spawn in the default spawn at first. Nothing I can do to fix that. Make your ways to your homes and use /sethome. Thanks!

Stop teleporting behind me. :ohdear:

Today the game appeared determined to prevent my return to base by any means necessary. (http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/3088/minecraftgap.png) (Eventually I realized you can just leave and reconnect to force missing chunks to load) :V
Also you can see my Lighthouse in that pic. If you stand where that torch is on the beach is and look out towards it during a sunset, it looks pretty rad.

Oh god did I laugh
So yeah, I'm thinking of joining in on this server fun. I'm still a complete noob I think, though.

Besides, I doubt there's any damage you could do by joining.

Don't you underestimate me then what's the fun Well okay, then :3
-
Well dont go on right now as the servers going to shit ;_;
-
You know what I just found out? I can't build on the top layer anymore. You know what that means? I'm gonna have to mine the second floor of my grinder, then move it all down one. Am I pissed? I really want to punch Notch right now.
-
I got on about half an hour ago, and it was lagging really badly, pretty much unplayably. It seemed like a neat server with some cool creations, though, so I'll try again some other time.
-
Notch outright lied about fixing some of the CPU issues. It's even been said that he's made such issues worse, rather than better.
Water ladders no longer work. >_>
-
Complain about changes in the main Minecraft thread, not this one, unless it specifically applies to something you made on this server.
Also, Stuffman, your lighthouse is pretty awesome. I visited it before the server became too laggy to play normally.
-
I finally got my computer fixed and I'm trying to connect to the server but I keep getting a Internal exeption: java.net.SocketTimeoutExeption error. I'm pretty sure it's not the server since there are other people connected in the server. I can destroy block but the item doesn't drop but when I reconnect all the blocks I destroyed are in my inventory. I never had this happen to me before, is there any way to fix this? The only solution I see on the internet is to change the Transmit Buffer of my networks card to 512 but for some reason my networks card does not have that option.
EDIT: Never mind, apparently it was the server lagging when I decided to log in
-
Water ladders no longer work. >_>
WATTTT now i hafta move my house underground? D: since water ladder is like the only way up besides stacking stuff and teleporting ;[
-
I'll get to work on the lag when possible. Maybe it was when my sister was playing Minecraft on the same computer?
-
Fixed the problem. The host computer kept going into sleep mode.
I'm going to start working on some sprite art for the server.
-
I might drop by if I can find the time...my schedule is kind of complicated
Is there a Mumble or something so we can voice chat?
-
I have Skype. :3

Too bad none of you were in the server during the past 2 hours. You would have witnessed a masterpiece in the making!

Anyone want to donate spare gold to the "I need a railway to that hub" project?

You built next to my WIP Yatagarsu Shrine in the sky. I wanted to make an Okuu sprite after I was finished with it., but I think I can still find a good place to put it in.

Not yet, but how much d'you need? Specify an amount, and I'll tell ya how quickly I can get it for ya.
-
About 24 would work, since most of it is going to be used for powered rails.
-
Consider it done. By the time you read this, I've almost certainly got your supplies ready for you. And probably more.
-
I'm curious how your server is holding up with the new version. The private SMP server I play on finally got updated, and I've been messing around with the Nether (making a Wolf Tengu Rapid Transit system, nyuhuhuu~). But warping to and from the Nether seems to to some really nasty things to the server. In fact it'll only ~kinda~ stay running if just one person's online, two and it hangs up 'till someone leaves (or the server's restarted).
-
It was having issues with a sudden fit of lag, so I logged off for a bit to do some other stuff in the hopes that it'd be gone by the time I returned. Well, just tried logging on again, and it's.. Down.
...
Welp. I'd offer to help with collecting/processing raw materials/placing finished rails for the transit system, but.. "Private." :ohdear:
-
It's not my server, plus I'm mostly done already. ^.^ I may come and visit this one, if it's okay (and it's online =O).
[Edit] Maybe that giant Sakuya got angry. =|
-
Oh, yay! While this one's down, I'll go ahead and advertise another one I know of that, while it has a COMPLETE lack of plugins and commands- even including /who, /list, etc- is reliable for its constant uptime. The IP'll be in the other thread since I don't want to be rude by advertising a different server in this thread, which was made specifically for advertising DDR's server.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
When a resident of this household had the bright fucking idea to shut off the host computer while in a bitch-fit, IT CORRUPTED THE SERVER MAP.
I have restored an older version from a back-up, but A LOT OF WORK DONE LAST NIGHT WAS FOREVER LOST.
Server is back up btw.
-
Does your family know you are hosting a server on the computer?
BTW, the server is not up.
-
So guize, what's new.
-
I'm thinking of switching to dedicated hosting.
http://servercraft.co/pricing/ (http://servercraft.co/pricing/)
Let me know what you guys think. Should we? It would solve all lag issues and we wouldn't have to worry about people turning off the host computer anymore.

Looks like servers aren't as expensive as I've been told they are. But if you switch to a dedicated server, will you have enough money to pay for it monthly and if not,do you think you're gonna get enough donations?

One final question. Shall I make this the official MOTK Minecraft server?

I currently have $100 in my Paypal for 2-3 months.
If you get another $5, you can get 4 months.(Assuming you're choosing Tier 2)
One final question. Shall I make this the official MOTK Minecraft server?
I'm not sure if you can call it the official MotK server. I always assumed that servers that can be called official are the ones run by the MotK admins and mods, but I'm not sure. Maybe ask them about it or something.
One more thing, if you have the last post on a thread, use the edit button instead of making a new post. I always make a new paragraph that starts with "EDIT: " after I edit a post.
-
You cant really make it the official server unless the admins agree with it, And I can only assume a minecraft server isnt at the top of their priority's.

Okay tiem to recap some server shenanigans! It started off with me and ddr...
omfg is that a supercharged creeper?!?!

I also got struck by lightning and exploded but i have no pictures of that D: DDR was fine because godmode and blah blah.

Also TSO has mentioned once that a hosted MC server would strain resources quite a lot, given that it's a bit of a memory-intensive game. So they voted down the option and are sticking with other games for now (Bnet, UT99/2k4, maybe Q3 later).
But an unofficial server should be OK for now.

I remember that :V

Hopefully everything is back to the way it was!
The new server address is:

I'll update the op with this info as well.

It tells us how many people are on it now?! 8D
Oh, and I don't need that gold anymore, that entire tunnel I made got removed when the rollback happened, so I'll just find another way to get to that hub.
A giant water-slide you say...? Why, it's so crazy it just might work...
-
What if I helped remake the tunnel, too? All I need to know is where you want it + its dimensions!
-
Guys, why is there no giant community tower outfitted with cannons and anti-mob defenses where we spawn?
And one in the nether too?
-
Because there's no such thing as sentries that can track the movement of nearby players or hostile enemies, then open fire on them. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw3uNWTFgQM&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL) At least without mods, of course. :3
The best defense against a problem is to stop the problem from ever happening in the first place. Need to be protected from mobs? Stop 'em from ever spawning nearby with the power of torches.
-
The lack of TNT is still unnerving though.
We obviously need cannons.

THEN HELP ME FINISH MY MOB GRINDER!!!!!!!

They do a lot more harm than good to the terrain- and if we're talking near spawn, whoo boy, you can expect to accidentally blow up at least one person's building through trial and error, and that's no good- and can only aim at a predefined spot. It's like being able to attack a creeper with a bow and arrow, but you have to hold perfectly still. You can't adjust your aim either by looking elsewhere, or by moving your body. The creeper has to walk into your cross-hairs. Also, between the time you click to fire your shots and the time those shots are actually fired, there's a seven second waiting period. So, you have to wait for the creeper to walk into your cross-hairs then politely ask it to hold still while you kill it and hope it complies.
But wait, there's more! Making anywhere from one to several mob grinders for gunpowder gathering isn't much of a problem, but here's yet another: someone has to constantly be willing to just sit there and man the cannons all night. If they're not using a mod like Zombe's sun control mod, I hope they've got not just the patience to sit still for hours on a video game they could otherwise be having more fun on, but also sharp enough eyes to spot the enemies out in the darkness.
TL;DR For all of the reasons listed above and more, TNT cannons are a highly impractical solution to the hostile-enemies-at-spawn problem. Personally, I've taken on well over one hundred creepers with nothing more than a sword and come out victorious, sometimes even fighting multiple enemies simultaneously. After you make a set of armor, as long as it has at least 30% durability left, the world's yours.
-
But explosives are fun! I built an adjustable, aimable cannon before, and it's fun. Not useful, but I can hit basically any target I want with only a 5 or 10 second delay between acquiring the target and it exploding. I wouldn't want one at spawn, though...
Anyway, a shelter at spawn would be much more practical. Harvest some wood and put it in a chest in the shelter so newcomers can build a basic sword and pick before getting spawn-trapped by creepers like I did. Maybe include armor too? That's a lot harder to make, though.
-
Whelp, I lost all I was doing on my trap the last few days. Also, I'm gonna need those rewards from the server event again.
128 Arrows, 1 iron block, 1 diamond block, 1 gold block, 19 netherrack, and some other things I don't remember....

Neato! If I took a trip over to YT, could I find a video of how the adjustable, aimable ones work?

Already working on it. :3 Unfortunately, fire spread is enabled, so smooth stone and glass it is, rather than using logs/planks. Placing it over a cave system near the surface, then artificially connecting it to others that it's separated from by stone to make it larger than it originally was. It'll be connected to the shelter, but separated with at least one hatch, and at least one airlock system. Aside from that, it'll be left untouched- I.E, no torches, and I'll avoid mining any ores when possible- to help give new players something to do, especially while waiting out the night! Edit: Oh, and I figure I'll hide a portal to the Nether somewhere at its deepest point. :>
Whelp, I lost all I was doing on my trap the last few days.
If you don't receive them within 24 hours, let me know, and I'd be happy to donate all of that!
-

I hadn't really planned it out, other than "If I dig in roughly this direction, I should eventually make it there, right?"
A portal is always a workable solution too.
-
Ooh, yes- two portals sounds like an even better idea! I'm on now if you want to do any of this!
-
Sounds very interesting!
In the meantime I'm stuck with trying to improve my situation now that I've made a settlement for myself. Cue the mass cave explorations and steel hunts!
-

I'll be able to in an hour. School and such. I even have an idea of something to add to the gap portal itself...
-
Well, started playing on it yesterday, set up a base (a bit to the east of ShadyK's), and am enjoying it, certainly!
Though I did notice one thing. It's a bit hard to get started (for new players) from the main spawn, and requires a crapton of walking to find trees or a safehouse. I almost resorted to digging a temporary dark hole in the ground for the night (but then DDR teleported me to his base for that night and assisted with the construction of mine the night after) after searching the main plain area for a good number of trees.
Earlier today, Artemis, who had lost all his things over various changes, also had similar problems and died a few times to mobs. He sent a few requests for assistance in chat, which I responded to. Led him to my base for the night and gave a stack of planks and coal to get him along.
So what am I suggesting here? Well, what Azure said. I'd include stacks of wood/planks and some charcoal, but armour and others are a bit of a stretch.
-
When I originally started I had a little trouble with having enough wood to get going, but I found some. cave wise I just occupied a creeper crater and got digging. The result is pretty decent, though understated above ground.
Started exploring for cactus, and I can't find shit. more to the point, I can't find where the fuck I am. I did /sethome, but I'm reluctant to use /home ... because the place I found is just flat out awesome. Its an underwater cave mouth big enough to build inside. Which, I am doing. get some awesome views too because it points in the sun/moon direction, so you can watch a sunrise/moon rise through the cave. Its just brilliant, and I don't want to be unable to find it again. :blush:
-
The adjustable cannon works by simply having multiple places to load the shot TNT and the propulsion TNT. There's probably tutorials and designs on YouTube that are way better than mine, so I won't go into any more detail unless you really want it.
-
Well, yesterday DDR and Jes had imported another sprite (Reimu this time) into the world. Didn't see it until today, though, after finding Jes' place while exploring.

There was also a small chest acting as a donation box nearby. Gave a bit. :3
Yet another interesting development! Took a while to get over there, though. so I built a long causeway above ground to shorten the commute. Don't mind removing it if requested by a good number, but I find it convenient.
-
Oh right I meant to post pictures of this. Which I had almost no hand in.
Like I said at the time, I need to make a Nitori sprite, then make that portal connecting my house to the hub, and then finish my house. Fun times. :3

Requesting Yuuka and Mokou.

Okay people I went on a dangerous adventure and found yall some cacti :D (those treasure hunting games in sonic adventure 2 paid off!) But uh yeah eraiya built this safehouse with some public chests. In there is 64 cacti. Make sure you kids share it :V

I'll try to grow a few (along with wheat and sugarcane) as well in my area and occasionally send them over to the community chest.

What plans is the mob grinder going by?
> Going to also wire up a bank system. A big one.
-
I already have the canals dug out, and the first spawning floor done. HOWEVER, due to the troll 1.6 patch, the half finished second floor has to be moved down 1 meter, and the unfinished roof made of halfblocks also has to be moved down 1 meter. Roof is on the highest height possible, and covers the whole section where the grinder is. The second floor should be exactly above the first floor. I can build the gravity trap but I need some redstone before I do it.
Meanwhile, in the north east corner, there is the ladder to the top and the ladder to the mines. The mines is split up into floors every 10 meters. In each floor, I dig the border of the entire structure, and those have torches on the outside wall, pointing inside the structure. Essentially, this is to clear out all caverns under the grinder, and light them all up (So far I've found a few big ones). The first 3 floors already have the outline, but nobody touch the floors that aren't finished. If you go into the mine, you can keep anything you find in it except 95% of the cobblestone you find, as long as you dig inside the border.
-
Where is this community chest anyway? I could use some cacti, I had something on the go... :3
-
Where is this community chest anyway? I could use some cacti, I had something on the go... :3
It's in that smooth stone-glass building near DDR's safehouse.
I'm farming extra cacti, wheat, and sugarcane and will put some into the community chests every now and then.
Also busy mapping the area.
-
I mapped the place, doesn't look that interesting.
-
Just so you know, there's a pig spawner right outside my hole. Feel free to have a murderfest.
I'll put a chest full of porkchops in the community house later, but for now I just put in three raw ones.
-
I mapped the place, doesn't look that interesting.
Really?
I ended up mapping it as well, and gave copies to Kinzo and aru! Mine is set as map_0 (also have map_3, but that was accidental), meaning copies can be made (when crafting a map, hold down the SHIFT key to get a map_0 copy).
Put a sign up about it outside the communal house, but should've changed text....
If demand does grow, however, I'll really be needing the iron. I'm near out and am very close to relying on community chest for it!
It's standard fare for MC maps, okay, but I'd rather use the maps to find locations rather than see how interesting everything is.
Lousy screenshot. (http://i54.tinypic.com/23hu5ac.png) (note - large image. I play on a high resolution.)
Player marker is over the communal house, where I took said pic.
Map's centred at my base, which is conveniently under a surface lava basin (bright red dot in middle of map).
Lastly, a few of you are in areas not in map boundaries (looks at person who made dual cobblestone towers in the sea - cool structure though).
On an off-note, the overpass is now looped and for you eastern residents is connected on Kinzo's first tower. There are now 2 routes to the main stuff in the west (north and south), with maybe 1 more coming in a while (need to expand coverage first, and I'm near out of cobblestone - had to rely on 4 extra stacks Kinzo gave to finish it).
-
Made mine at main hub, southern extreme just covered DDR's place. Was a Map_01. Then with the rollback and stuff, don't think I have it anymore.
Anyway, do we have a nether hub?
-
Not sure, since I didn't go in there yet. There was however a raiding party that went in there earlier yesterday (including DDR). May ask one of them.
Also I think the main hub was changed between now and then. DDR's place is rather well covered (going by the netherrack entrance and the fiery rails).
-
Well then, I'll build a bank and station at DDR's place then.
-
Got a fair old cobblestone supply and a monstrous ammount of string, but I'm pretty much out of just about any other useful resource.
Making an underground tree farm to try and be a bit more self sustaining, but my iron shortage is a problem.
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/manmuppet/spidergrinder.png)
I'll never be short of bows and rods again! bwahahaha
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/manmuppet/piratecove.png)
Also if anyone happens to find this leave it for me lol, Its got pretty awesome views and I built a base in there, put up some supplies inside and then lost the damn place after I got caught outside and had to use /home to escape the night, which put me back to my original base (and then i found the spider spawner anyway, so not like it was a loss, but still I'd kinda like get that place back too :V)
-
So, is anyone going to minerail the overpass? Worldlink?
Since I'm stocking up on rails and boosters now, might take a crack. Problem is that I don't have enough booster tracks.
And DDR doesn't need that many boosters on the track, its three from 0-8m/s and 1 for every 42.
If there aren't any objections i'll just take some then? And fix it if there is a huge problem.
E: Also, I run the farming business.
100% organic as well. (http://oi56.tinypic.com/t7lbpc.jpg)

Also if anyone happens to find this leave it for me lol, Its got pretty awesome views and I built a base in there, put up some supplies inside and then lost the damn place after I got caught outside and had to use /home to escape the night, which put me back to my original base (and then i found the spider spawner anyway, so not like it was a loss, but still I'd kinda like get that place back too :V)
I'll try to find it and get it connected nearby as said in-game.
So, is anyone going to minerail the overpass? Worldlink?
Since I'm stocking up on rails and boosters now, might take a crack. Problem is that I don't have enough booster tracks.
And DDR doesn't need that many boosters on the track, its three from 0-8m/s and 1 for every 42.
If there aren't any objections i'll just take some then? And fix it if there is a huge problem.
E: Also, I run the farming business.
100% organic as well. (http://oi56.tinypic.com/t7lbpc.jpg)
Minerailing overpass? Go for it! I have a bit of extra gold that can be used.
Nice farms BTW. Puts my small subsistence farm to shame.

Essentials is broken atm and I don't know why.

Hello Terry,
Unfortunately, there is a bug with the editor that clears any file with a '&'. We'll try to have it corrected as soon as possible. For now, you'll need to download any file with a '&', edit it, then upload it back. This included the Essentials config.yml file. I apologize for the inconvenience.
This bug had cleared your Essentials files, which caused it to be unable to load. I've reset your config file, so it should be loading now. Let me know if you're still having any issues.

Here's a pic of my finished Sea Fortress, not bad for all cobble and wood I think :V
If you sail west of my lighthouse it'll come into view shortly. At the entry level, inside the towers, there are hatches that lead down to a tunnel connecting the two, and a passage that leads into a cave I've partially explored. It opens up into some gigantic steep caves with running water, and I'm not touching them with a ten foot pole. Feel free to explore them and claim whatever you find down there.
Meanwhile I think I'll start preparing for a big project, gathering up smooth stone and such. Not sure what or where I want to build yet.
-
Ah, so that massive thing I found off-map was yours! Very nice!
Still doing that world-linking thing, though just walkways for now.
-
No more infinite cooked porkchops. Seems like creepers really hated me for about five minutes and decided to blow up my front door three times and the backyard once with the spawner right in the blast radius. :P

I'm probably going to go with a station based rail system.
That is, each place has one rail going to and from a main station. Which has as many platforms as I can put.
Oh yeah, does anyone have a map with all places built marked? Since I could clean up the overhead while I'm at it as well.
-
Yay, joined the server. All of the things everyone has built are awesome. Looking forward to building with you guys.

I have regional maps made and put some in the community chest (if there isn't. put down the recipe and hold SHIFT while clicking that new map.) However, not all areas are marked (I can easily identify mine, the community house, Skye's shrine, and a few other bits such as the cobblestone tower on sea (Stuffman's lighthouse?), Sakuya pixel art, and that mega-structure in the northeast).
I think the overpasses should stay as an alternate route at the very least. It's also cheaper and quicker to put in than rails, especially for those who are far away from the centre area or when there's an ore shortage.
-
Er, could someone make another map for me? I'll make the compass.

I'd like to but I'm too far away from the community area.
Just remember this for an already-made regional map:

I could give you one. Totally not like I took the other one by accident. Nope. Didn't happen at all. :derp:
Oh and the Nitori sprite's almost done. Should have it done by tomorrow.
-
Maybe we could make the overhead roads wider as well. It's hard to walk on it, and in some places it's like ten meters above the ground.
Also, I found out that the reason my laptop's been fucking up lately because it's more than 6% fragmented lololol

Very good thinking! I'll let you guys do that. I'm busy trying to build a mega-tower in the sea (which will be connected by road too).
In a couple areas in the south it's more like 30m (IIRC 1 block in MC ~= 1m).
-
Now that I finished my new base (that flying thing in the air, which I'm going to outfit with arrow dispensers and cannons) I can finally start on the rail system.
So, do you guys want to keep the overpass and build the rail way next to it or put the rail over the overpass.
Because it pretty much sees whether I fence the sides or not (since you're not really going to get off mid ride for a minecart)

There's lots of flying things in the air though! (Skye's, several towers in the east and south, that northeast crazy structure, etc).
...oh wait I think I know which one it is (the little ship thing that isn't tethered at all, right?).
Well, since I was the primary builder of the overpass system I'll say keep it, expand it as aru suggested to maybe 3-4 blocks wide, and stick the rail track next to it. Walking is still useful at times :V
But do this for the most common areas (communal house, eastern and southern camps, DDR's, Skye's temple) first. For the rest of them I'll put down the basic overpass first (if needed - especially for the far east and on-sea bases) and see whether railway expansion is a good idea for those parts.
EDIT: Speaking of common areas, I noticed that quite a lot of you have bases in the snowy east. Unfortunately ATM the only accesses to overhead from there is between Kinzo's and Piney's as well as a tunnel near Molten's, and right now I'm focusing on mega-tower as well as alternate routes (the route to Jes' place is quite dangerous - too close to surface) and expansion to the south (particularly those water towers).
I'll have to leave it to you guys for now to determine what to do about it.
-
That "snowy east" was the previous spawn point before we got teleported randomly to DDR's burning house.

We passed "quite dangerous" 20 creepers ago.
Anyways, I'm going to need a new project that isn't sprite making soon, any ideas?

Don't forget the 28 skeletons, 14 spiders, and 53595 zombies!
As for projects:
Utilitarian: Expand overpass, make your route safer (spam those torches), start Bio's rail system.
Common: Go to sea, create mega-tower as a monument.
When in Rome: Colosseum remake for PVP. Or as a mob farm.
Just 'cause: Upside-down sprites.
DAYTONAAAAA: Remake Dinosaur Canyon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwIVa9tzi-I&t=5m20s) from Daytona USA.

You could always help me build my thingy (actually, im building a cloud, and on it a house, and try to make it super safe.) :P
If anyone need gold, i so happen to have found some. The bad part however is that i haven't mined it. But if someone manages to find my place there should be a hole down a cliff where i have put a sign and some torches.

I already found it and connected it with a small tunnel to the main road system. Stuck a few torches there too.

Okay, does anyone need gold? I have 13 bars of it. They will be lying in one of my chests if anyone needs 'em.

It's actually backwards, since the Reimu sprite is only a block away on the other side.
But it's done, and I only had to punch about 500 sheep to make it! (Skye helped too.)
-
Anyone else done any maps yet? Since DDR hasn't done a cartographer map yet, I decided to try piecing mine together with map_0, and it'd be cool if anyone else has any explored maps to add to it.
[attach=1]
My map has lines through it that I can't seem to get rid of, sorry about that D:
Anyway, the top left blocky area is PX's mob spawner. To the right of it is the lava pillar and the hub. The large structure below it and slightly to the right is the Amaterasu Shrine, and the Hakurei Shrine and Reimu sprite are somewhere over the mountains to the left of that, I think. The map pointer has me at the community house, near spawn. The Sakuya sprite (touhoumon one) is near that. In the mountains to the right a few people have underground bases which aren't really visible on the map. There are currently four landmarks at sea, becoming visible as you head right and down. The first is an (unfinished?) cobble tower, not sure who that belongs to. The next is by far the largest, and has an overpass leading to it. Go a bit further and you'll spot my Lighthouse, and furthest out, to the right of that large sandy beach, is my Sea Fortress. (Actually it appears someone recently constructed a floating castle over the water near spawn, also)
Biomes of interest added by my map include another frozen area at the bottom of the map, and a large desert far to the right. Also my memory might be failing me but I'm pretty sure the sea is fully enclosed by land if you go further to the right.
Has anyone built anything beyond the scope of this map yet? If so, go ahead and do some cartography so we can expand it :V

Nice job adding on to the full regional map! My underground area is kinda visible - it's under that red dot in the middle. We definitely will be needing more maps (and duplicates of map_0) as more players join / we expand our operations.

Don't forget the Nitori one next to Reimu! Also the Mario next to communal house.
That tower with the overpass is mine, but it's still far from complete...it's taking forever and a day to make :V (only finished floors 100 and higher - overpass is at 92, and sea level is 64).
It was originally going to be a gravel pyramid but you can see how stupid that idea would be :D

Start, and we'll all follow suit.
Namely, where over the sea are you going to put it.

I'm not sure. I'm currently still extremely low on supplies. I'll have to start a tree farm first for the idea to go anywhere.
Also, can somebody tell me when it's day?

If you look at the first Minecraft thread that was made, you can see a Palaquin ship I made. I wonder if DDR can import it in the server.

Thanks for those 3 stacks of booster rails.
But...no normal rails? (or detector, but i can live with redstone torch spam)

How about we make Palace of earth spirits? The stained glass can be made from colored wool.

Oh, that reminds me of a project I once tried on a server I decided to stop going to.
Yeah, I tried to make my base the entire underground.
I only got up to finishing Parsee's Bridge before things went south.
Yeah, surprised that I have minecraft? I just lost interest in it for the most part, up until your idea Artemis.
My preferred building material for most things is obsidian though, due in part to obsidian being a blast-resistant material. Creeper's can't blast what they can't damage!
But I generally prefer to just blow up things with TNT(which is another reason for my building preference), so I was generally the go-to guy for hollowing out caves and stuff.
So if you guys need a hand in hollowing out space for Chireiden, I might be helpful as long as I can get my hands on at least 10 TNT blocks and a good enough pick to hollow out a spot to place TNT.
Of course, if we're gonna build the palace of earth spirits, we may as well do the whole underground right? I think I'd be able to complete that old project with you guys though.
Last server I was on and tried it, I was the only guy building it, everyone else was too interested in building stuff aboveground. they didn't understand the joys of making subterranean buildings!
Though they did have a nice little Hakugyoukurou built.
If you guys want a Demolitionist/Digger to lend a hand, don't hesitate to ask.
I'm not just a researcher y'know. 8)
If only there were actual drills in minecraft....

Minecraft seems to hate good deeds. A creeper blew me up as I was making the overhead paths wider and heading over to donate some iron and gold to the booster rail project.

Yeah, the overheads are too close to the ground or trees. I for one, know the results of trees, since mobs can spawn on them.
-
Speaking of creepers, I know a way to skip wood tools using one.
Just lead it to some stone, trick it into going boom, and presto! Stone obtained without a wood pick.

Why do I feel like doing this next time I lose my stuff for good?
-
To be honest though your first day you don't tend to see any creepers, and if you haven't seen a tree to make a wood pick, you can't make a stone pick. And finding stone? dig down.
Then again thats my single player logic being applied to a multiplayer server. Then again, theres enough creeper holes if you look around already... :V

They're bombing us, I tell you~! We need creeper raid shelters ASAP, and even cobblestone has it tough!
-
Creeper raid shelters huh?
My prescription for that? Obsidian!
Shame there's probably no handing out extra blocks via inventory hax on the part of the OPs/Admins. (Only quick way to get enough obsidian for any project I undertake)
Because the last server I played on was a server that didn't care about that, and just built stuff. Using that to get additional materials to finish up projects without too much fuss.
And in some cases, it was the only way to do certain things, like get pink wool.
-
Now that bone meal can plant flowers, you can get infinite amounts of red/yellow dye, so pink is a lot easier to make.
Also, obsidian really isn't that hard to get, just time-consuming. One underground lava lake and a single bucket of water can get you a full stack.
-
Creeper raid shelters huh?
My prescription for that? Obsidian!
Your research will certainly save us here! :D
I can't assist yet thanks to lack of diamond pick and materials :(
(too busy with road works and tower)
-
One problem.
Most of my projects took far more than a single stack.
And for even a small/mid-size shelter, I'd need at least three stacks.
But as long as things go well, I should be able to help with that some....hopefully.

I'm seeing a lot of mentions of needing materials from iron bars to gold bars, from stacks of cobblestone to diamond picks and more. Assume I have a surplus of everything. That said, if you'd like anything for free, just ask below, don't be shy or unnecessarily feel like you're being greedy and I'd be glad to help donate what you need!
EDIT: This doesn't just include material goods, but also projects you'd like some help with. Want a helping hand in clearing out a hill or two? I'm available! Looking for someone to help trail another row of blocks along side you to cut down on the time it takes to build a structure? Look no further!

Damn nice. I can't help with cobble and community chest is out of it :(
And don't use roadway for your structure :V
-
I have a chestful of cobble, minus 15.
But I'm probably going to use that now I've finally finished my plans for a station.
-
Why do people freak out about cobble, just use a texture pack that makes it look nice :|
Anyway most of it will be smooth stone, using cobble as a trim/foundation texture. But you need cobble to make smooth stone, so yeah :V
I do wish there was more variety in stone textures to work with. Mossy cobble is in incredibly short supply, gravel is a bitch to work with (and even more of a bitch to fix if you decide you want to rework something), obsidian is very impractical in large quantities, and netherrack has a nasty side effect. I do like sandstone but I think it clashes with regular stone.
I think Minecraft could use some more generic stone varieties (marble maybe?) and I wish metal blocks only required 2x2 in the crafting grid.
-
I can't help with cobble and community chest is out of it :(
Restocked it with another 10+ stacks personally.

The grinder is almost operational thanks to some help from Jaimas. All I need to do is work out the redstone circuit and clear out the torches inside.
Update: I have no idea wtf is wrong with the redstone wiring. If someone can fix it for me, thanks a lot. And don't be a jerk Eraiya.

More infinite porkchops as soon as I get my yard fixed up a bit.

It used to be a zombie spawner. Should have noticed the dungeon earlier, it was only a few meters away from my staircase...

Instructions:
1) Go to the center of the frame
2) Keep the switch up to let creeps build
3) Flip switch down
4) Head to the stone alter under the spawner

It was in chat a while back...either way, it's VERY obvious on the region map (upper-left corner). Also I'll be linking it by overpass - speaking of which, the main loop is now at least 2 blocks wide now, which means less failling. I'm intending on a 5-block design (2 outer walking lanes, 2 inner minecart lanes, 1 middle torch lane), though, over the long term.

Well, time to make my 5th map of the week. :V
... OH THAT'S WHAT THE HUGE GREY RECTANGLE WAS.

Yeah, fence the outside in.
Also, need more exits, since I really can't find many (that isn't suicidal).
-

Also, need more exits, since I really can't find many (that isn't suicidal).
Fences will be on the outside (so it'd be seven wide, five accessible, so to say). But this will be for the most popular routes only (namely the loop and a north-south connection). The rest will be 2-3 wide instead without fences, to allow for expansion later if it be needed.
Exits, yes, that is definitely true. Especially in the central area.
I managed to mine 20 stacks of cobblestone earlier today while digging a massive tunnel at layer 40 between my cave base and mega-tower in constuction. They'll go to the latter for the most part, but other than that I'll use them for construction work.
Speaking of massive tunnels, I'm considering complementing overpass with underground accesses too in some areas. Catch with this is that I may run into underground bases by accident (already made another route to someone's 5 x 4 mine shaft in the south by chance).
Found another spider dungeon under the sea too but Kinzo has a string factory already (and we're not even starting on PX's mob grinder). Also I don't think mob spawners are obtainable by breaking them (more barbecues would've been great). and a giant ceiling would be nice but extremely impractical unless I'm THAT desparate for pork and cobble (and water).
-
Thinking of making a underground railchest system as well. i.e. the subway where you can shift stuff from the, say grinder to the main station.
WHICH I HAVE YET TO BUILD.

Yo it's iFayden xD I finally feel like posting here :D!
Yehhh make a railchest system and the subway soon, I'll help out with it like I usually do.

First off, welcome to MotK!
Next, thanks for your offer!
Currently I'm building tunnel at Y=40 layer. That may come in handy if we want just a single line for now.

Just going to camp around the grinder and build up my TNT stacks~
-
Oh yeah, im done with the walkway to where im building my thing, and it's supposed to be safe.[attach=1]
Now to punch loads of more sheep to get all of the wool i need.
-
I found a zombie spawner yesterday, had no use for shitloads of feathers, broke it, and got another pig spawner. I'm using minecraft unmodded. Minecraftwiki says it's impossible to place one, but there's been two in my yard so far. Maybe it's my game screwing up.
If DDR has a problem with it, I'll get rid of it.
-
WHO PUT ALL THAT TALL GRASS NEXT TO THE LADDER UP?!
I GOT ATTACKED BY A RATTATA AND ALMOST DIED!
-
The grinder is almost operational thanks to some help from Jaimas. All I need to do is work out the redstone circuit and clear out the torches inside.
Update: I have no idea wtf is wrong with the redstone wiring. If someone can fix it for me, thanks a lot. And don't be a jerk Eraiya.
I tried helping you after you asked for my help. You chased me off. I learn from my mistakes. To me, learning from one's mistake after trying one's best to help a person isn't "being a jerk," it's being rational. I didn't call you a jerk for turning me away after you asked me to help you the first time, so there's no need for you to call me one for respectfully declining your second request for me to help you. Furthermore, there was never any need to bring this up on the forums in the first place when I was right there in-game with you at the time you posted this. Frankly, in addition to your name-calling, that wasn't a very nice thing of you to do, either.

Just a quick heads-up: while it is linked to the overpass, the minecart tracks (middle two lanes - and no, there are no rails yet) run at a lower layer (Y=81 AFAIK) and thus aren't connected to your area. That'll get patched soon.

All right, breaking mine.

DDR - A friend pointed out that, after dying, he ended up spawning on a flaming section of netherrack above/at spawn. Since no one can edit that area but you, could you replace the flames with torches or some other light source that's more user-friendly, please? Thanks for your time!
Skye - Thanks to the overpass coming in direct contact with the ground at several points, to help increase player survivability near spawn, I'd like your permission to raise it up so that it's level with your home, specifically, level with this section (http://i.imgur.com/VUe7a.png) of bridge. Eventually, I'd like to help make the rest of the overpass fit along with its smooth/cobblestone theme. Thanks for your time, too!
-
raise [overpass] up ..., specifically, level with this section (http://i.imgur.com/VUe7a.png) of bridge. Eventually, I'd like to help make the rest of the overpass fit along with its smooth/cobblestone theme.
I'm for it. Again, I'd like a 5-lane system, with 2 extra on each side for fencing, in that area (to accomodate both walking and minecart-riding players).
Also noting the smooth-cobble theme for fences in other areas.
-
Five lanes plus two more for fencing on each side? It'll take a lot longer than previously anticipated, but sure, I'll see what I can do, if Skye's fine with it!
-
There's still a mine system under my grinder. Lots of cobblestone in there, and the more space there is under the more effective the grinder is.
-
I'll chip in too using all that cobble I'm getting from the construction of the underground routes (have about 15 stacks).
-
DDR - Here y'go! (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/91055-v166-zombes-modpack-26-mods-v426-upd-7jun/)

So you're gonna raise the height of most of the overpass to match my home? Sure go ahead, but since the overpass is really big I'll try to help. I'll be searching for black wool most of the time for the finishing touches for my home but I'll help if it's too dangerous to go outside or if I want to stop searching for wool for a while.
-
Roughly how much black wool d'ya need? I could slaughter some squid for ya for their ink pouches!
-
I'm not sure I approve of the idea of making the overpass really huge, it might kinda suck to have huge bridges everywhere blocking the view.
But if that what you guys wanna do, it's your choice, it won't bother me since my constructions are pretty far away from the hub. D:
-
Yeah, five blocks wide is kinda overkill.
How about making only the most-used parts five? The other ones could be three, one for minecarts, one for walking, and a third for fencing along the walking side.
-

Yeah, it is a bit extreme, and I only plan to do it for a few areas (loops, east, north).
The rest get 3 blocks. The third block...well, I'm not too sure how that would play, fence aside.
-
I might have an idea or two for the overpass upgrades.
I'd have to get around to getting on the server to work out prototype designs with all you guys present to see and approve though.
You'd be surprised, but I'm not just a digger/blaster.
Back on the old server I was on, i did a fair bit of overpass building myself.
Looking back, I really should've taken some pictures. Too bad I didn't know the hotkey for it back then. :derp:
-
Well, if there's no minecart person on the same stretch, you should be fine. The fence isn't really necessary, two should cut it.
-
For Jes, Skye and anyone else who's interested: the "No Armor" pack. If you'd like to add it to a texture pack you prefer using over the default graphics, either open it up or extract its contents, then cut/copy and paste the "armor" folder into the desired texture pack, overwriting its previous armor folder if it had one. Enjoy!
sdfsfsd EDIT: For everyone who downloaded it, this version (http://www.mediafire.com/?zdu2abyg0m1lc45) is much better. Throw a pumpkin on your head to find out why. Use at nighttime or in dark caverns for maximum efficiency. Enjoy!
-
Roughly how much black wool d'ya need? I could slaughter some squid for ya for their ink pouches!
Probably 150 more wool, so like 75 more ink. But I'll probably be done soon
-
Sorry, I had to leave. Enjoy the barbecue and best of luck~
-
All right.
In the meantime we went on a mass Nether hunt today...full of lag, zombie pig attacks, ghast sieges, and whatnot, but overall fun.
Ended up making a path from Eraiya's portal (or the community area one) to DDR's in a circle pattern..
EDIT: Found a good way for a 3-lane system with booster rails for less common areas.
Lane 1: Minecart track (1-way, stops before main 5-lane tracks)
Lane 2: Torches (+ redstone ones for rails)
Lane 3: Pedestrian traffic
As for minecarts, I'm building an express-based system which will follow the tracks and (unlike the pedestrian ones) do not intersect directly. In its lieu I'm putting up "stations" where one can unload off a minecart, move it down or up to the other track, and then take it again. There's WIPs on the northeast area near the mob grinder.
-
That was a fun adventure in the nether XD, too bad i' lagging to much to build my new house Dx
-
We should make a list of coordinates for all interesting areas. The map is nice, but doesn't really show much.
-
Wasting alot of gold by making a powered rail track that goes to...the north? Well to the left when you look out of the map. Ends marked with glowstone and starts nearby the community house.
Also; DISCO!
-
Well, I joined the server too. I'll be constructing a base in the near future. Look to the skies!
-
I'm going to need a 40x35 (wxh) space to build a sprite, and... about 960 wool, mostly black/white. Time to go punch some sheep!
-
Well, i had a nice time today. My friend played with me, ddrmaniac and skye and jquan. Oh! And i want to thank you again Eraiya for letting my friend borrow your second account.
-
Anythyme! If there's anything else I can do to help, don't hesitate to let me know what! :3
-
Got massive lag just now and the server seems to be taken down with it. Can't even log in - I get a timeout exception.
I have a feeling it's due to ryudo's netherland (all open for it but seriously, nether lags the whole server to a crawl), maintenance, what have you.
EDIT: Problem fixed, things work again.
-
All for 'removing' the nether.
With a few hundred stacks of TNT.
I am too much of a demo.
-
I blew up a mountain in Ryudo's old server. I'm up for blowing shit up all the time :V
-

Only a few hundred? Man, You getting soft on me or something?
-
LET'S HOARD UP THE TNT. IN A FEW WEEKS TIME, EVERYONE PILES THEIR RESOURCES TOGETHER AND WE ALL GO TO BLOW UP THE WORLD.
woot.
-
100 TNT?
Please.
200?
Small time.
300?
Now we're talkin'.
400?
Now that's more like it, but still not enough!
500?
Almost the perfect ammount..
600?
Getting closer...
700?
Bingo!
-
Expecting a contribution of at least 100 TNT each then.
See everyone at a soon-to-be determined detonation site in a few weeks then.

Max number of TNT at one time? Apparently with 36 slots, and since they stack up to 64....
over 2 thousand. 700 is for pansy's man. Let's light up the whole nether with 36 stacks of TNT~!
fake e. Make a post on here a day before detonation, I really want to see it even if it crashes my computer.
-
Record it for me. My laptop will definitely crash.
Also, are we blowing up the nether, or the actual world?
-
Just raised the idea, don't know the specifics. You guys can expand on it.
-

The nether. After that, We colonize it!
With obsidian walls of course. Cant have Ghasts spawnning and raping our projects after all. Or, well, your projects seeing as how I cant play in the nether ;_;

That's a shitload of obsidian... it crushes my soul just to think about the time it would take to mine it all.
I vote we blow up the world for the heck of it, but back it up beforehand and restore it. Either that, or blow it up and start over on a new map.

No, everyone walks to the west, or take the makeshift rail-line I made to get over there. And make a demolition zone.
If we start on a new map, we have to make that town idea where everyone actually lives together. And does stuff together.
-
Since no one is in the southern forests in the map (right part) aside from a few, I suggest that be the demolition site.
Otherwise I'll turn it into a Safari Zone/hunting grounds of sorts while most of the outer parts can be lighted.
If we start on a new map, we have to make that town idea where everyone actually lives together. And does stuff together.
Agreed wholeheartedly.
Also am very close to finishing that mega-tower.
-
Can we take an inventory of items with us? It'll be a pain to start over completely.
-
I can get the TNT in 2 days if I remove sleep, food, and life.
-
Let's give it a week or so before we get all happy with our TNT.
And for maximum effect with towns, have everyone start from scratch, even if it is very annoying. Hell, just back up this map for historical archiving and create a brand-spanking new one!
Also we should do it on a large Survival Island map
-
Can't we at least take a few stone tools? ;_;
-
Can't we at least take a few stone tools? ;_;
Heres how you get stone.
Punch a tree, grab its bark, And force it to become MORE wood by sheer willpower. Break that wood into even less then the wood you originally made, then put 3 blocks of the good-wood on top of the broken wood. Somehow, You get a pickaxe.
Dig down get stone everyones happy.

Too goddamn lazy.

Alright then, I'll just destroy the random rail I had over to the west and make a new one to the south.
In a week's time we go stockpile our TNT, and make a creeper in a hole (so that there is actual damage).
Then we see if anyone's computer is tank enough to survive.
Then put this map to rest and make a new one.
-And begin a new age-
(Read in dramatic voice)
-
Let's build a giant creeper out of TNT, then explode it.
Like, top of the sky to bedrock giant.
-
Alright, before it's too late.
Who's going to sacrifice their life for science, while everyone else watches in awe?
-
All of us. Can't have revolution without bloodshed!
-

That won't destroy all of the world!
DDR seems opposed to this idea according to his MC chat.
If you really want to destroy the world, we need a large network of TNT and redstone hidden just under the grounds of everyone's bases (kind of like landmines and charges), which is activated by a master switch. Though the catch with this is that taller and floating structures (mega-towers, Skye's shrine, ship thing near community base) will prolly still be around.
Then we see if anyone's computer is tank enough to survive.
Eraiya's will be the first to crash :V
All of us. Can't have revolution without bloodshed!
Except that we'll be hoisting our own petards in map.
Alternatively, there's lots of unoccupied lands in the south and west (right and down on map)! Why not use those for a town?
-
Except that we'll be hoisting our own petards in map.
No, we're revolting against DDR because...
Because of his pet dogs! I mean, seriously. Stop leaving your damn pets at people's houses! This calls for war.
But if DDR doesn't want to blow it up, we can just do some small-scale TNT-ing and move out.
-
Actually, pretty sure my laptop is the crappiest out of all yours so i'll crash first. and what about my floating house Dx
-
Here's what I'm thinking. The people with the worst computers take the blows, While the ones with the best watch from afar. By 'afar', I mean 'so far you can barely see a block of TNT' because chances are its going to blow up and hit you from there anyways.
My moms computer is decent, So I'm pretty sure I can watch the blast and take a few pics. But I'd need a forewarning seeing as how I'm never on the server because Terrarias been whoring up all my life.
Also, We're going to be getting this TNT 100% legit right? And who will be the placers/destroyers?
-
TEAM EFFORT.
We're going to walk in one direction for a day place a red flag and say
"We're going to blow this place up"
Or the farlands.
-
Well, I'll be one of the first to go.
But we should really ask DDR first.
-
You mean you guys didnt already?
Well good. fuck the police
-
well, since my computer lags on short and normal... i'm pretty sure i can only hit the tnt and then like crash after my laptop freezes for like what 30 minutes?
-
fuck the police
Except they have sharp sticks.
-
Okay, Here's what I'm thinking.
For the guys who have laggy computers, They hit the TNT, And sign out quickly. Everyone else takes a pic or whatever and watches the glorious explosions that make our inner demomans shudder in ecstasy. After that everyone logs back in and you know we look at the giant beta hole that we made. Except it isnt a beta hole, It's a TNT hole. Like seriously if we dont see any bedrock after the explosion I will be disappoint.
Except they have sharp sticks.
Well I have a sharp twig.
also these are just /my/ ideas, No obligation to follow them or anything.
-
Then we fill with water, and make the TNTic Ocean.
-
Then we fill with water, and make the TNTic Ocean.
Water with commands, Bukkits, or something else?
I propose we make a skytown above the crater, With a water-slide down. By a water slide I mean a sole block with water going down it so that we can just into it from 500 feet above
-

In that case I will be one of those watching (good gaming rig here). If things turn out right I may even record a video of this.
As for the 100% Legitimate TNT, well, PX will really have to let us use that mob grinder like there's no tomorrow. And we need mass expeditions to the desert in the southeast for all that sand.
I'm really not doing that much ATM since my tower is done, so I'll be willing to scout the desert for you guys if it be needed.
TEAM EFFORT.
We're going to walk in one direction for a day place a red flag and say
"We're going to blow this place up"
Again, southern forests are the best on-map area for this.
Or the farlands.
804 hours of walking! Can it be done?

I prefer widespread explosions over deep penetration, but whatever works!

If the crater is wide AND deep enough, I highly approve. Small floating town + drawbridge + massive trench down to bedrock = SUCCESS.
BUT we still need some time to determine the strategy and make preparations.
-
Remember not to use the grinder for too long or it gets clogged up by spiders and stops working. As for the lake idea, I think that's amazing and I will help.
-
Oh man you guys are gonna make the Mariana Trench? This oughta be something.
-

You guys have better be stabbing F2 for the ones with shitty computers!
-
You guys have better be stabbing F2 for the ones with shitty computers!
Don't worry! I'll be hitting F9 to record with FRAPS ;) (and maybe it'll crash due to higher CPU usage :o)
(and then rebooting to Mac, processing in FCE, and uploading to YT within 48 hrs).
Alternatively, testing out QuickTime X's screen recording with MC on OS X to save a reboot.
Now, we really need to set up a dedicated time and place for this.
-
I'd say just gather up some TNT and such over the course of the week, With everyone covering a different direction to find sand, while someone else stays back at the mob-killer.
That or we make a few more mob killers and get the sulfur first, as that's the hard part.
-
Chdst minecart system from grinder to someplace which we made base of ops.
-
I'll build a minecart system from the grinder to anywhere you want, as long as someone else provides most of the materials. I lost most of my stuff because of creepers.
-
All right, got QuickTime X's screen recorder to work with Minecraft using Soundflower as audio passthrough device. Catch is that it runs at about 24FPS (game gets smooth 60).
I guess I'll have to use the FRAPS option or get some other Mac-based screen recorder for this. We need maximum framerates!
(and since YT has only 30FPS >:( I'll try applying frame blending to simulate 60FPS, as suggested in a Daytona USA gameplay vid).
-
We need a IRC or something for those people with laggy computers to stay in touch with everyone recording the TNT or something
-
A Minecraft IRC eh..?
I like that idea!
I had another idea, but it might take the entire server's help...and space.
You guys know Disgaea 3 right? Well, why not make an exact, to scale, replica of Netherworld Academy!
...That'd take a lot of blocks...
-
I say cover the explody-hole up with a shitton of dirt and build a nuclear reactor inside.
-
Problem. We don't have uranium.

I prefer floating town over our giant explosion pit. We get that town idea everyone seems to like AND get to keep our stuff!
-
...I got another diamond of an idea.
Why build just a simple floating town, when we can build one huge communal fortress?
I say we use brick, since it's the charismatic thing to do.
-

That's nice, but what about communal fortress WITHIN floating town?
Also I haven't found any clay yet....
-
You're thinking too small my friend.
It'd be town-sized, but for good reason!
Each sector would belong to a different player!
And we could add to it as new players join in!
Eventually if the server gets real popular, it'd be a bustling hub of activity!
As everyone'd be based in there, and the pit would become the one-stop-shop for all mining needs!
My sector would probably be one of the higher parts, since you know the old saying, "Only two things like high places. Fools, and smoke.".
And I'm pretty much the joker card of any group I'm a part of.
-
Make sure the higher part has a lot of balconies!
And only made of floating sand :derp:
-
We're proposing all these ideas, but we're not actually doing anything :V
Gotta think realistic guys.
-
All right then let's rock.
Going out to desert and making a few camps out for temporary usage. We need all that sand for TNT mania! >:)
-
Let's build a giant creeper out of TNT, then explode it.

this is beautiful btw
also, new map?? cool, i will motivate myself to join in the meantime

If anyone has any spare lapis lazuli, we're trying to build a blue UFO. It's near Sakuya and the other sprites, pretty hard to miss. Just drop it off in one of the chests on it.

After that video, I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to the pistons now. The hidden base entrance had me sold.
-
Is there a limit to how many blocks that thing can move? I wanna push an entire fucking mountain with it.
-
So psyched for pistons, awesome addition to the game. Only one iron and redstone each, too! Finally, we can make some actually interesting machinery. Fuck, I can probably turn my clock tower into a real platforming challenge now!
However, apparently there are going to be ocean mobs soon. Will my lighthouse still be safe? :ohdear:
I think a diving helmet (iron helm recipe with a piece of glass in the middle?) would be a good addition, improving your air capacity and visibility underwater.
-
Is there a limit to how many blocks that thing can move? I wanna push an entire fucking mountain with it.
I think everything but obsidian. No limitations.
-
I think everything but obsidian. No limitations.
What's shown in the video are objects that cant be moved. Chests, and two other things iirc.
-
Bedrock, definitely.
-
I was asking how many blocks can it push simultaneously, not which blocks. The video shows up to 3 blocks being pushed at the same time. If there is no limit, I can make a wall of pistons designed to move mountains.
-
I would imagine there is no limit, no. When the thing comes out, Try to push one layer of a mountain, or test to see how many blocks a piston can push at once.
-
I assume it's 15, like Redstone.
Also, me and Eraiya installed a drawbridge on the community house, on the side that used to have that weird double-double iron door setup where you needed either extreme accuracy or co-op to enter the building. It looks nicer, keeps the enemies out, and it's not timed. Just make sure to close it once you've crossed so no monsters get in the house.
-
I've confirmed it's actually 16.
Close enough Azure.

Some areas already covered aren't in there yet though (desert, Stuffman's lighthouse). That should be fixed soon, however.

I like how big and obvious my grinder is. :smug:

dude that map thing is amazing.
all it needs is for a feature for us to talk to the guys in-game.

The best part is how the sculptures we designed helped complement this.
Though I have no idea what my megatower + overpass (near bottom) is supposed to be in that case.
I guess the TNT idea has fizzled out?
Also, we're getting quite some lag right now. May want to restart the server.
-
ah no I think people are just gathering TNT
that or forgot about it
-
Eraiya's will be the first to crash :V
You know me all too well!
...
You know me... All too well... Is it really that well-known that my computer is so bad? Was it on the local news or something? ;_;
It feels awkward putting this out there when I know I'm the minority here, but I'm not comfortable with the let's-blow-everything-up idea, if it's happening with the intent to destroy things that players have worked on. If it's random bits of land, sure, why not- especially if it's far from spawn! But if innocent players/their creations are being targeted by this, that doesn't sound very... nice, to me.
-
You made the "world's worst computer" bit so obvious on MC chat that we had to re-express it.
Trying to get them to put TNT on southern parts where no one has camp.

We're going to blow up some unoccupied piece of land. We're all just gathering TNT for it.
Edit: Also, there's a puppy about to bite the thumb.

Oh, alright- that doesn't sound bad at all!

DDR - PTM (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1032&t=341514#p4705872) and Multiverse. (http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/edit-misc-tp-fun-multiverse-v1-7-2-world-management-860.3707/page-6) PTM is still stuck at 1.5_01, sadly, and there seems to be no replacement mod out there for it yet.

Worst case scenario has happened: permissions broke. Nobody can build.
Server will remain down until I can fix this.
-
This isn't good. Back to other games in my backlog (Jamestown, Terraria, some more BlazBlue and GG) until then....
Also use this opportunity to add a few extras to the map, such as what was mentioned in server chat.
(and for those who are curious as to what that is, I am not exactly sure either, and it's up to DDR to place that)
-
When I try to start the server permissions starts. but then disables itself right after.
The server CANNOT run without permissions I found out. Without it, everyone can spam lightning at will I found out.

Is there a good alternative to Permissions? It needs to be able to use the permission node things still like herp.derp or lol.lol
-
Please don't blow anything up in the next two weeks. I'll be stuck computerless in the Land of Glorious Communism for then.
-
This is ~ (Ryudo6850) aka Mando
I don't know DDR, is that the server side script for the permissions? I had a slightly different client layout... if you PM me the permissions list I can take a look and see if I can find the issue within it. Also for permissions on the server I had, I made a list of user privileges.
Thus I had 4 layers: ADMIN, MOD, PLAYER, GUEST
1.ADMIN had its privileges and received all the other's.... so on and so forth down the chain.
2.Then I had a USER list which define specific privileges for specific users.
3.That allowed normal people to be logged in as a Guest until I made them a Player (another anti-grief)
*However... I haven't seen the plugins and scripts since then.... So Just pm me or something and I'll
look.
BTW my native language isn't English... so I make a lot of mistakes.
-
First off, welcome to MotK!
This may be a good idea to put onto server. Really helps against griefing, for one, and might be the solution to "everyone spams lightning".
Also, for PMs you need at least 10 posts here to send them.
Tried other servers in the meantime, and while they are fun, they have just too many mods (money, factions, infinite blocks) that break a good bit of what makes this game fun for me. Good thing this server will seem to remain quite vanilla, even with a few extra mods such as LWC and giant zombies. Here's hoping for giant pigs! :V (not really)
-
I don't think there's any need to give new players decreased privileges, since it just discourages "real" players from joining. Unless it's something small, like not being able to use TNT or lava.
But really, I don't think it's necessary to have any mods at all except the chest protection. More mods means more complicated code means more likely something goes wrong (as it did). Once something works, there's no need to change it.
-
Ahh I figured as much after I read the rules... but I could at least still read PMs... if IIRC~
YES I READ THE RULES!!!! Now where is my congratulatory loli pic :/
Giant pigs are great and all but we have enough pork... giant sheep on the other hand ... :D
-
Now where is my congratulatory loli pic :/
Will this do? (not mine)

Giant pigs are great and all but we have enough pork... giant sheep on the other hand ... :D
/me looks at Piney/aru's and my pork cooking mechanisms
Yep. We need giant sheep now for an entire inventory's worth of wool. (OK maybe 1-2 stacks)
Catch is that it'll take much more dye to get it all in a particular colour.
Giant skeletons? No. They'd fire missiles at our bases with creeper explosion power.
Huge spiders? Um...that's a lot of string.
Big-ass creepers? GODDAMNIT! Instant nuclear explosion (and uranium >:D) right there.
-
??? Fat face is fat :ohdear:
Whats more powerful than a Giant? A GIANT Giant!
With LASZOR EYES powerful enough to burn you when in water and through your home!!!!

Screw this, once v1.7 comes out with modding API we HAVE to have giant Suika mobs running around to crush everything. With a VERY low chance of spawning, almost impossible to kill, and drops diamond blocks and red apples.
Those giant zombies may take 40-50 arrows, but mega-Suika? Expect at least 4 stacks of arrows to kill one of these.
-
Mega-creeper for mega explosions.
And mega gunpowder drops.
Cause need that TNT.

You know that can't be done! Mega creepers need URANIUM! (and an Utsuho reskin)

I still say we don't need any of that. This is pretty much the last server I know of that is even remotely similar to unmodded Minecraft, and I'll leave if that sort of crap gets added...
-

Well, You do know: Completely vanilla minecraft gets boring. Fast. A few mods doesnt hurt anyone, And leaving a server because of what the owner wants to do (as well as the majority), well that's just selfish isnt it?

no
we have to dig deeper
creepers that can live in lava that are giants LETS DO THIS SHIT
edit: argle i came off sounding like a prick what I meant to say was if you dont like the mods, say it once or twice as I personally dont want to hear it every other post
-
no

BOOM! HUGE MOTHER FUCKING CREEPER SWIMMING IN LAVA.
you die.
I think that's pretty balanced.

it's so balanced
i mean come on who doesnt want zombie giant creepers from space that shoot laserbeams out of their eyes and can live through everything but a single hit from a wooden sword and JUST a wooden sword?
-

Leaving a server because I don't like the server is "selfish"? Not liking vanilla Minecraft is taste and opinions, and as such, I believe it's pointless to try justifying it. I'm just saying that it would be weird for this server to start installing too many mods, since it's already established as popular just the way it is.
-
I think... every comment about special monsters is a joke? At least I am joking...

The fact that it's a creeper and has laserbeams pretty much cancels out melee.
If you get close you either get blown up or lazor'd.
But hey, from space, that's perfectly fine.
-
A few mods are fine by my book to make things interesting, but not those that drastically alter gameplay (such as money and factions mods). On the other hand added content such as giants that are added onto the existing gameplay cycle are great.

OK, this might not be one that counts. Hope those creepers just stay out in space. I don't want to see a creeper mothership outside my tower one day unloading 40K of those bastards.

Vanilla Minecraft gets boring without any incentive to do stuff. My incentive is to show off, hence the giant ass grinder and now sprite making (I NEED SHEEP TO PUNCH, PREFERABLY BLACK!)

Server is back up for now.

Well, that was a lot of fun now that server's back online. There was a bit more lag than normal, though (server testing?), as well as a 3-prong attack on the world (PX with pyromancy and forests, Ryudo's transfer of Nether to Earth, and now DDR's TNT insanity in the caves).
Overpass was expanded to the north (to the end point of what used to be Bio's pointless rail), and is connected to that route that connects the UFO and Jes' place. Said route was also widened and re-routed to not hug the surface as much (and I didn't feel like cutting down a tree which grew over the old route...I'll keep both of them for now).
Seems like there will be two subway systems...Azure's (already running but 1 rail only, and stops very often) and mine (no rails yet, and split). Well, this'll make things peculiar if the world link rails run underground mostly, with the overpass for areas that aren't as populated (since it takes less effort and resources for that).
DDR said he will upgrade server RAM soon (to 2GB - current 1GB gets 70% usage on average) and also offer something else....
-
Well, You do know: Completely vanilla minecraft gets boring. Fast.
I've been playing it for over a year and uh I disagree
-
Alright. Mass exploration.
Went out of the main community hub, looking for adventure.
Went pretty far, and saw a large sand hill.
"Oh hey, let's make a base here"
So I did.
Little tower as a checkpoint (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_154205.png)
Of course, during one of DDR's caving expeditions.
Farer view (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_154220.png)
But you know, all things can't always be so nice.
I had a bucket of lava in my inventory. You know what that means.
Burn (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_200738.png)

Suprising what you can do with one bucket (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_201900.png)
Then I tried experimenting with lava physics.
Turns out, lava columns still stand (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_201941.png)
Well, having finished my base of fiery doom, I set out again.
Leaving that burning mess in the distance (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_202116.png)
Along the way, Mr. Squid decided to join me.
Squid (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_202426.png)
Quite the charming fella.
Squiddd~ (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_202533.png)
So I murdered him.
Continuing along, the game started lagging. One of those lag tests that DDR keeps on conducting.
INTO THE VOID (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_202848.png)
Then, looking at the dynamic map, saw an interesting patch of red.
Turns out it's surface lava.
LAVAVAVA (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_203703.png)
And what's even more interesting....
It's an obsidian mine (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_203714.png)
LAVA. IS. EVERYWHERE.
And that concludes this week expedition.
Have a good night y'all (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/The%20Exploration%20of%20Minecraftia/2011-06-19_204106.png)

Thanks for giving us all something that was both fun to read and informative, Bio! <3
DDR - Any of these (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/357852-multicollection-eraiyas-pvp-arenas-updated-613-400-pm-cdt/) seem like something you might be interested in?

Noone mentioned the 10 stacks of tnt that blew up? :/
-
I would, but I was on surface level so I only heard the explosion.
-
Noone mentioned the 10 stacks of tnt that blew up? :/
Ah that. Yeah when it was set off the amount of explosions made me fear for my life... But we lived and we came out of our bomb shelter, ddr completely wrecked the cave. But yeah it was GIGANTIC.
Anyways ive been meaning to post these pics and so I think ill do so.
One night im minding my own business and.... A NEW CHALLENGER IS APPROACHING! FFF could it be
SPIDER JOCKEY D: (http://oi51.tinypic.com/2lnn8z.jpg)
Welp I died but....
IT DIED TOO! BURN STUPID SPIDER JOCKEY! (http://oi56.tinypic.com/25h0meu.jpg)
Then another day a faceoff I didn't expect...
CREEPER VS PIG ZOMBIE (http://oi53.tinypic.com/3355qi1.jpg)
and according to eraiya yall didn't expect this matchup either :P
Moving on it's night again and..... WHAT IS THAT?!
FFFFFFFFFF (http://oi51.tinypic.com/szaasn.jpg)
that skeleton is riding a tree we're all screwed now D:
and yes it killed me :derp:
Next up I get into another fight
Shady vs THE GIANT (http://oi55.tinypic.com/qrzxpc.jpg)
But in the end i was victorious....after 20 deaths or so orz.
and finally THE HORROR OF ALL HORRORS
THE GHAST IN THE OVERWORLD (http://oi51.tinypic.com/30iiagz.jpg)
That jerk killed me once before so I did the natural thing anddddd... made ddr kill it :derp:
And that's everything for now. I'll undoubtedly get myself stuck in more of these shenanigans D:
Also to clear up any confusion I was once Fanciful_Ghost but I got my own acct and im now the Shady_Ghost.
Just in case ya didnt know
-
What do you guys think of a VOIP server? (Voice chat)
I was thinking maybe Ventrillio or Teamspeak or something.
-
For some reason I'm not seeing anything spawn besides the Nether mobs, squids, and the pigs from the pig spawner. Has this ever happened to someone before?
-
I prefer Mumble or Speex instead, but it'd be a good idea for those of us who use it (not me).

lolsquid
That's quite odd....can't really help there other than go elsewhere and see if the problem happens there or just your area.
-
I'm not sure if this'll help or not Skye, but the next time it happens, change your difficulty settings from whatever they are now to something different, then log out and back in!
-

I logged in again but with the mode on normal instead of peaceful which I had on since I first joined the server and mobs started spawning again. Kinda weird cuz things like Cows, Sheep, and Pigs(not from the spawner) didn't spawn and they are supposed to spawn on Peaceful and Ghasts & Pigmen still spawned even though they're not supposed to. And didn't Notch fixed that bug a long time ago? Another weird thing that happened this morning was that I couldn't hurt the pigs that came from the spawner, though I was able to hurt things again after I logged in later today.

I think logging out and back in would fix that glitch temporarily, too! When in doubt, log out and back in. As for Notch and fixing bugs, well.. You know how Notch feels about fixing bugs...
-
Server is having problems with crashing. Don't know the cause.
-
You wanna know what the dynamic map needs? A chatbox to talk with people in-game. I've been on quite a few minecraft servers with IRC's that say things like
Player1: Hey bro I found some lava, come sign on and help me out
<IRC>Player2: Well okay
Really that would be awesome seeing as how I cant personally get on the server much anymore but still wanna see whats going on and shit
-
Ok so i check the map and i see someone has set my nether rack that i'm using as a basement material of my new house on fire -.-.... who did that and why? i call that griefing really. just cuz i'm too laggy to actually finish building it doesnt mean u can set it on fire ... -.- ...
@DDR, was wondering if we can get block protection things with permissions to certain people in an area?

Where would your house be?
-
Server seems to be hanged ATM. Going by livefeed data still transmits (map updates as needed), but time repeats 1:50 - 1:53 and we cannot join back in.
-
Where would your house be?
my house is west( from the live feed map) of the community center, the rectangle of red, i have a sign infront of the door saying its my house and a chest , work bench and furnace outside
-
The day I try to do something that depends on creatures not despawning is the day that the server has crash issues and makes them despawn before I can log back in. Maybe one of the new mods is causing problems? (Before you ask, that thing I mentioned wouldn't be causing server strain at all, so I know it's not the problem - it's just 6 chickens in a pit that I'm using for eggs.) It was fine earlier today, so have you changed anything since then?
-
...ugh, 2 1/2 hours in and still frozen >_<. Cue server reset.
-
I am disappoint the dynamic map doesn't have as good zoom-out capabilities.
I want to see how far away I am from everyone else.
-
So its still down? :(
-
Well, seems to be back up now....
EDIT: Yep, it's up again! :D :D :D
Some mods were removed (such as the message system no one used), however.
EDIT2: GAH! Still crashes every now and then without warning!
-
Down again, same symptoms as last time.
-
I still cannot join. It just pauses at "Logging in" for a bit before it gives up.
Between the server issues and my own internet problems, it seems as though the fates don't want me to complete the UFO...
-
it seems as though the fates don't want me to complete the UFO...
What, since it means the space creepers will strike? :ohdear:
Yep, server didn't even last 10 minutes (I was hoping for 15; Azure, 30). This isn't good.
-
What, since it means the space creepers will strike? :ohdear:
Nonsense! They all come here to work.

Server's back up, but it's running a backed-up world.
Meaning that many of the recent changes were lost. But it's up!
-
How old?
-
About a week or so.
As DDR said, "welcome to the past".
EDIT: Uh oh, same problem's returning.
-
DDR added a new sphere world.

YAYyyy, hopeing i wont lag now that server has that much...
I'm planing to make a shrine in the sphere world, sorta like hakurei shrine... anyone wanna donate wood? i need normal logs and dark logs, birch will be made into planks
-
Ok, I think we have an issue with the multi-verse.
There hasn't been a single passive mob spawn in the main world for several hours. No sheep, pigs, cows, etc. Several day cycles and not a single life other than tamed wolves.
Speaking of which, I cannot see the sun/moon on the main world either. It's eternally overcast now?
edit: I think it's been like this since DDR put in SkyWorld. In there, the sky was similar, and there weren't any mobs. Except for the gang of 30+ ghasts which "mysteriously" appeared.
edit2: Realized the error in the sky. Somehow my video settings were turned down, thus the sky wasn't rendered at all.
-
That might also have to do with the pig spawners people set up. That might be taking up all the passive animal slots.
-
Many, many mobs spawn in some of the spheres. Maybe that's why?
Anyway if anyone can find a plugin that can control the mob limit and spawn rate, that might fix it.
-
I like the amount of spawning TBH. I tried to build a little place to cause 'em to spawn inside of.
Didn't quite go as planned. (http://i.imgur.com/4NjaL.png)
-
There's less people than normal in the server. Is there something wrong in the server?
-
That might also have to do with the pig spawners people set up. That might be taking up all the passive animal slots.
Spawners activate on a player getting within a range of 16 blocks of it.
From what I know, the game populates mobs until limits are met. (within a certain range of chunks, that is) Passive mobs usually stop at around 20, whereas hostile mobs get close to 200. That's how it is for singleplayer, at least...
I had to stick to the Sphere world to farm my sheep. They were much more abundant there due to the smaller "legal" spawning surface area.
--Warning- while you were... blah blah--
There's less people than normal in the server. Is there something wrong in the server?
Server is fine now. Spawn rates are somewhat normal too.
Just now finished the UFO for the most part. I'm taking a break for a bit before I tidy up other things around the area. As for others, not sure... Sphere world is pretty popular with them.
-
Wait, Did you say just finished the UFO? As I've been looking at the map for the past 20 minutes or so and no ones come on.
-
Yeah, the UFO is done. I just need to redo some of the interior and the altar underneath.
-
Many, many mobs spawn in some of the spheres. Maybe that's why?
I wonder who's fault is that.
-
I'm pretty sure that the different worlds have different counts for the creatures, so having lots of them in sphere world wouldn't affect the normal world (hence the screenshot I posted, even though there were people in the normal world and it was raining at night there too). Then again, I didn't make the mod, so I don't know.

Server is down due to bs again. Bs that is yet again not my fault.

Ok...
I'm just glad I finished my work before the latest backup a few hours ago. So hopefully we won't have to rollback very far, if at all.
-

I've been thinking of what to build, and I've got an idea, but it'll probably require all the wools. All of them. (hint)
Oh and my plans on mining some materials kinda went to hell when the sphere's death floor murdered my stuff. We should put an entire layer of cobble on it or something.
Technically not an Edit: Oh. If there is a rollback, I get most of my stuff back, and I haven't done anything new recently, so it's a win-win either way for me. Not that I want that to happen, since you guys do the cool stuff when I'm not there, and I like most of it. It looks nice.

EDIT2: Nope, I was doing it wrong. :derp:

oh, I thought someone said they were going to erase everything and start over

No, we're not going to. If you need new land, just walk for ten minutes. No need to erase everything that people have built.

The server lives!

I see there is now...

Use /space to goto space now!
I've made the space spawn area air-locked. You can now visit the spawn without a helmet. As long as you break any of the blocks on the ceiling.

What exactly is space anyways?

define: space

Don't go to space yet if you don't have a home set! You won't be able to return since the portal currently doesn't work! "Well, that's alright, I'll just build out in space," you might be thinking, but building on that world is disabled for everyone except DDR right now. So, there goes that. :ohdear:
-
That could have been useful to know earlier. I was bored and figured that i would check it out, forgot to put my stuff in a chest before i went there and now i lost my diamonds. Well, shit happens.
-
How many diamonds did you lose? I'll replace 'em. And don't be modest or reluctant to accept; really, I insist.

I think only one thing needs to be said on my part.

... Alright, seriously, (http://i.imgur.com/Ybk6a.png) why are people still using this network after constant, repeated failures like this, some lasting for days at a time?
Anywho. Since the Minecraft forums are down: Strongestcraft (http://www.mediafire.com/?qjot7fr1i35ciqa) and Assistcraft (http://www.mediafire.com/?jichuwa6s2w9els) have both been updated significantly. Enjoy!

-
The server has had terrible lag today, likely due to the addition of the space world. DDR, you should really delete the extra worlds; buying that extra RAM and then filling it all up with more maps doesn't do any good. :[
-
We've never hit more than 50% RAM usage.
-
You wanna know what the dynamic map needs? A chatbox to talk with people in-game. I've been on quite a few minecraft servers with IRC's that say things like
Player1: Hey bro I found some lava, come sign on and help me out
<IRC>Player2: Well okay
Really that would be awesome seeing as how I cant personally get on the server much anymore but still wanna see whats going on and shit
No chance that's happening right? Maybe you could suggest such a feature to the people who are hosting the server or something. Seriously that would be amazing
-
The Kyubey sprite is going to get burned eventually, right? I have something planned for it, so I want to know when it's happening (and also I want people to record it).
-
are we still bombing the entire world? or whats happening? i want to know if i should continue building, unless we're burning the entire thing down to start fresh
-
Go bomb space.
-
Seriously, what's wrong with the server? We used to constantly have like 7+ people on.
-
In what context? Lag? Player count?
Not sure on former, but latter, well...I take it it's due to reality, in part. In my case since summer classes started I've less time to play here.
are we still bombing the entire world? or whats happening? i want to know if i should continue building, unless we're burning the entire thing down to start fresh
Um...I don't think so. We're too busy building in Sphere world, it seems. Even though "building" really consists of 90% narrow overpasses.
-
Summer classes are up, mooface is in China, and it's the busy season for some people with work...
-
A few opinions, if I may:
-Please don't "burn the world down". A lot of work has been done obtaining colored wool and constructing things lately. I'd really hate to see hours and hours of hard work gone up in smoke because someone wanted to have a little fun. If you want to destroy something, please build it yourself first.
-I'm not totally against the TNT demolition idea... However I don't think that it should take place in the main world specifically for scenic purposes. Perhaps an alternate world where the demolitionists could go frolic?
-Space world is totally useless in it's current iteration. There's nothing out there to explore, therefore no incentive to build. (even if the game would let you build out there) Wearing a pumpkin helmet is ridiculous, especially since it obstructs one's field of vision. I suppose that could be corrected within a texture pack. Honestly, I think Sphere Dimension is more "space-like" than the Space realm. There is more of an incentive to explore these already established worlds, and it looks pretty damn cool.
-On the subject of Sphere world.. I think if you guys want to claim a sphere, it would be best to label it with a sign on the entrance. Most people already do. But if you're going to stake a claim on a world, then make something out of it! I believe that if a sphere hasn't been claimed, then it is fair game to plunder its resources.
-Hopefully Adventure World will serve some purpose in the near future... If not, then we don't need it.
-Also, DDR. There are still some issues with breaking glass on certain spheres. Specifically, the smaller ones. We get a message that the glass is protected and can only be broken by an OP. I'd hate to have to trouble you to break glass on a new planet every-so-often..
-
k, i'm making a shrine in sphere world and got a sphere ... jsut need a bit of time... can we have like 2 layers of water on the bedrock in sphere world, i have a fear of height and dieing ............ i dun like to fall ><
-
While you guys are away, I'm going to make a disco/rave room. Now for all that redstone.
-

It's not just bedrock, it's a kill floor - even descending at a safe speed will kill you if you touch it, so water alone wouldn't make it safe. (Also you need 3 blocks of water to survive a fall from that height)
I personally wouldn't mind looking at an ocean below me rather than the bedrock in sphere world.
-

Oh, there's an IRC plugin for Minecraft, and I think this is it. (http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/admn-chat-craftirc-2-0-preview-builds-now-available-minecraft-irc-harmony-818.253/) Used to play on several different servers that were all interconnected with the same IRC channel; one of the servers was even a classic one, and on all of them, members of a certain rank could remotely execute commands from IRC when needed!
Strafe summed up everything I was thinking perfectly.
-
Perhaps an alternate world where the demolitionists could go frolic?
I like. Cue Demolition World! Where all the terrain is sand and creepers spawn all over the place!

Yeah, this is a problem...I'm considering using AssistCraft just for this if it gets big. As for the Sphere realm, it's the hot area now, so Space...well....

Did that already with 3 of my spheres. But this is a damn good idea. And for those with multiple entrances, I'd suggest making several signs too.

Seconded. There's one close by I can't even get to due to this....

Hm...I have about 30-ish stacks of dirt overall...I suggest running over the bedrock layer with that! :D Catch being that mobs will spawn on the new surfaces :derp:.
-
Screw claiming spheres, the only one I use is the one I light it.
So go ahead and dig all the spheres I connect, which are btw the unsafe 1 block thick roads, if you don't fall off first.
-
oh okay ~, cuz i took one of the single cobble birdge spheres... and that sphere sure was a surprise Q.Q me and shady took an hour or 2 to clear it up and torch everywhere, was worth it tho ;3
-
http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/9300/castlevania.png
Castlevania coming along nicely. Still a lot more to do though.
If anyone has a ton of dirt they're looking to get rid of, I could really use it; I need to build out the cliffs supporting the castle. Also looking to trade something for a stack of glowstone so I can finish the other face of the clock tower.
-
I've got almost a whole inventory's worth of dirt if you need it. Now it's oriented towards filling up that bedrock in sphere realm, but that hasn't started quite yet. I'm perfectly fine with putting it towards your cliffs.
-
I've begun work on Adventure World finally.

I went exploring. It went dark so I made myself a temporary shelter.
Spider saw me and started trying to kill me. I logged out to prevent it.
Waited for morning..Logged back on, was dead. So Ok..
Tried /back.
Apparently I don't have access to it anymore.
So walked back...MY STUFF WASN'T THERE.

>iron mudkip
who would encase a poor innocent mudkip in iron the poor thing
Anyways the server looks like its coming along nicely. I'm also willing to go on an obsidian run for whatever prices you may list, so long as they are fair. However i'm not exactly on often, but I can get obsidian pretty fast. I can also find lots of redstone if anyone needs it.

Zero - Hope you enjoy your thyme both here and on the server! :3

I have an event ready! It's a MASSIVE dungeon! Hidden in this dungeon is this:

You need to find a lever first to open the door though. I shall begin the event when we get a bunch of people on.
-
That would look like fun. Will you be making a post like 20 minutes before it starts or something?
Also, add me on skype bro, its iliekmudkipss.

If you add a stack of repeaters I'll join.
I am in need of repeaters.

o i wana join too, when is it? o.o please post a warning on here before u start :D
-
I'd join, but with advance notice.
Lemme guess...it's to get some of those new TF2 players back in? :D
EDIT: Also add some more rails (2-4+ stacks of ordinary and maybe some more powered rails). Intend to use it for the mega-link systems in both main and sphere worlds.
-
There is now a second, more hidden chest to find as well.
(http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/xnwoxomfg007x/th_javaw2011-06-2522-02-49-01.png) (http://s481.photobucket.com/albums/rr178/xnwoxomfg007x/?action=view¤t=javaw2011-06-2522-02-49-01.png)
How the event will work is that you will have to navigate 3 levels of a massive dungeon. Check the cave view of "dungeon" to see it.
It will happen tomorrow, all day.
-
What counts as "tomorrow?"
-
In about 12-15 hours from the time of this post
-
A portal block?
-
Specific time + time zone? I'm rather interested, but I'm not sure when it'll be. =< (Got work, etc.)
-
time zone would help since i cant seem to change the forum clock Dx...
-
I'd like to participate, but I doubt that I can. Y'know, work and all. I'd just be in it for the SPONGE.
But the 64 diamond block stack looks mighty tasty.
-
Tomorrow is a Monday Q_Q
-
And yesterday was Saturday, Saturday, Wee Wee Wee so excited.
-
The event shall begin in 20 minutes.
-
Hahaha I hope you all enjoy being beaten by POVERTY MAN :V Also two words: LOL SQUID (http://oi55.tinypic.com/2qdvo9d.jpg)
Also to prove what eternitysky was saying about the mobs... Just check out all these numbers(look very closely):
http://oi56.tinypic.com/20p3l8k.jpg
AND I KILLED THEM ALL. EVEN THAT PIG.
-
If people could join the server now, that would be great.
-
is it still going? DX i just got up
-
Odd. Server's getting lag spikes as of late. Can't really join in and continue in said dungeon. Combine this and the TF2 player overload...gah!
Also stuck on 2F.... :derp:
-
I however am unable to even join the server
it will not accept the IP address in DDR's link as that of a valid host
-
Dungeon seems to be the main reason why server kept lagging and crashing.
Last time I went on there trying to get last-minute goodies it crashed, and upon re-connect the entire dungeon was gone! Ended up on natural terrain in dungeon world.
Server has been shut down partly to address this issue.
EDIT: And dungeon world is gone forever. Seems that chest of wool will never be found.
Also, Shady, I found Poverty Sphere 2 already. :V Feel free to take it!

Yep! It's well to the northwest. Larger than the old one IIRC.

Bigger than mine? :V..... no pun intended...
-
I've got my own poverty sphere as well, this one's all flowery too.
-
The one I found: just a little sand and a few other bits. And right nearby is a prosperous sphere which I've already claimed.
-
I'm thinking of making one of the spheres into a Battle Arena of sorts. Stadium seating and everything...
I'd like it to be a somewhat large sphere relatively close to the community portal sphere. Preferably hollow.... *eyes Ryudo's Hollow Sphere to the north*
I have built bridges to other possible sites to the west, which I wouldn't mind hollowing out myself. However, the smaller ones will need DDR to break some glass for entry.
Edit: I've decided to use the closest sphere to the west. I just need DDR's assistance with the glass.
Anyway, I'll be out of town for a bit. I'll be back late Tuesday.
-
Yeah the server is prety laggy right now, also decided to try out this server, once the lag gets better at least. Hope to see people around. goldblade0 in server
-
CRAZY stuff occured today with DDR, ryudo, Shady, and me. Managed to record the second half or so of it since he requested screenshots...totalled to 94.2GB of raw AVI footage :o :o :o
This may take a very, VERY long time to process into a watchable video. And by "long time" I'll give it a week.
-
Detained and not being able to play stuff.
When I go back on, I swear the world would have blown up or something.
-
It did. Adventure world anyways.

I'll be able to satiate your minds with these screenshots.
If you dont wanna spoil it dont kill them.

Oh, and with the videos of what happened then, I'm considering putting a bit of background music in, just because. Any objections?
This probably won't affect how long it will take to make the footage, though.

We also did 100,000 but the server couldn't handle it due to the 50,00 having just went off.

I should be around to play by then, and I better hope my system doesn't go haywire (heavy stability issues in Windows, Mac needs re-install, and Linux Mint is ready but needs network drivers).

Goddamn, editing this made my Windows install crash a LOT.
...35 minutes of footage at 1920 x 1008 (will try to resample to 1080p, but I have see if it will be <2GB in accordance with YT) and 94.1GB of uncompressed AVI footage...no wonder why it had trouble!
(by comparison my Touhou GTA carmageddon clips were 960 x 600 and totalled to 26GB for about 1-1.5 hours of gameplay recorded)
Have 9 minutes of stuff already and that's just from the first 15 minutes of actual footage! :o I'll definitely be speeding up and cutting bits of the aftermath. I don't want to split it into 2 parts - I'd rather maximize the 15 minutes.
-
To be honest, I don't really care for the sprite work in the sphere world. Sure it allows a larger canvas, but I'd prefer to see the other planets. It seems that the main world doesn't get the attention it used to...
Also, let me reiterate: PLEASE DO NOT BLOW UP THE MAIN WORLD.
-

Sadly, that is true. Most trips back there are for tools and resource gathering, really.
Seconding the anti-"blow main world up" thing too, given what happened recently.
Video has hit a small rut in that Windows Live Movie Maker (FCE user but Mac failed me recently) does not like having way too many uncompressed AVIs at once (some clips do not render, and if I get them to do so others fail). So I have to work with the clips a few times and then put them all together.
...hey, it's still better than LiveType's 100 text track + "every line set = new track" restrictions :V :V :colonveeplusalpha:
Depending on how things go I may be able to upload as soon as tonight, though likely not before the server event.

What. I have absolutely nothing to do with this. I lost all my TNT yesterday after blowing up the grinder, and never logged on after I went off.
EDIT: Also, something blew up the Sakuya sprite outside.
EDIT2: Almost everything in the main world was grieved, even the protected sprites. And they're still protected.

Going by livefeed, other things were heavily damaged - namely: Utsuho, Kyuubei, Skye's shrine roof, Reimu, Mario, Nitori, and the UFO roof.
What is going on I don't even ~
Is it that people are blowing up / burning the main world anyway and moving on to sphere world (speaking of which, Cirno and Flan just seem to be hanging around my area)? :ohdear: Or are we getting griefed by hackers while no one's around to watch over them? Or...admin power abuse? :o :o :o
(and no, I'm not blaming PX/Jquan for this yet)
EDIT: NOW I'm in favour of replacing with backup that also has mob grinder. Sure a lot of hard work is gone, but this was too much of a blow.
-
I think I'm done with this server.
I spent two weeks, working tirelessly to complete the UFO. AND IT HAS BEEN DESTROYED. I want to know who did this and why. However, I doubt that will ever happen.
DDR, if you have ANYTHING to do with this recent destruction, let me say this: It seems that you care about people playing in your world and want them to continue doing so. But shit like this, for whatever reason is NOT the way to get them to stay.
-
Backup restored to what it was before this mass desecration. Does nothing about the grinder though.

The backup must have been yesterday's or something. I still lost my progress I made this morning.
Ok. Backup restored. UFO is intact. Not sure if I still give a damn about the server yet... I'm still pretty pissed off
-
The backup must have been yesterday's or something. I still lost my progress I made this morning.
Ah, must be an overnight backup then. As for lost progress, well, can't say much other than sorry about that.
I have a feeling it has a bit to do with DDR's broadcasting of this server on YT and several forums. I know it's a way to expand the userbase, but it also invites unwanted attention from griefers and hackers.
As a precaution, I'm not putting down the server IP in the WIP video or its description.
-
Yeah, I agree with Strafe. There's no reason to play anymore now that griefers are on the server. This won't be the last time that our shit gets wrecked.
-
As a result of this massive incident, real life stuff, and video encode issues I think I'll pass on playing the server event, maybe a little longer, until (at soonest) the vid gets uploaded. It used to be a nice place to build and play along, but now it's starting to get tainted. Getting less incentive to continue developing the areas.
-
I know. I'll completely disable TNT and fire spread. I can also do build protection on important buildings. I just need to know who's stuff is who's stuff. It's what all major servers do to stop griefing.
It'll take a few days to cover everything.
Event is in 20 minutes.
Edit: Maybe it's time we instated some moderators?
-
Good ideas! Blowing up the world is no longer so appealing.
I'll get a rundown of stuff I own for world protection.
I recommend the moderator idea, in particular to trustworthy members of the playerbase who are on often...I wonder if you accept recommendations of others or ourselves into this position?
Passing server event in the name of 50K+ TNT exploding in a 15-minute video I have yet to upload.
SIDE EDIT: ...mods should get blue names in chat :3
-
I only have about two areas that actually have anything of value, and I'm fairly sure you know what little I've done.
(In the event you don't i'm disappointed I only didn't shut up about it for like a week.)
But yeah I'll be there since I like to feel bad about my platforming skills.
-
SIDE EDIT: ...mods should get blue names in chat :3
Griefers wouldn't grief if they knew a mod was on.
Make it so that mods have the same color as most normal users, And when someone gets banned they dont see who did it.
-
So, event came and went...did worse than I would've liked (stupid minecarts)! Plus levers weren't reset from testing, causing a bit of time wasted.
PX / Jquan was recording but due to the extra lag he came dead last.

Ah! Hidden mods! Good thinking.
-
Also, I believe theres some sort of server mod that allows the admins or moderators only to see who breaks what block, at what position. So say if a certain pixel art is at like -235 x -20 y 30 z or something like that, It would help a lot to anti-grief. Though I'd advise set it so that only admins see this.
-
Everything I build now is either in Sphere, or in my area in the Main World (you know, far far away)
-
lost 277 iron ingots from that rollback, but its for the better the huge cave can be re-explored :3...
Dr. Strafe would you like to join us again, i'm waiting for Iron_Mudkip to come home so we can go back :3
-
Video (14:44) done! Now issue is, since the final product is 2.2GB (at 1920 x 1080, 60fps) it'll take a good deal of time (>3 hours according to YT's Java uploader) to upload. I'll send a link over once it's done.
-
Wow not only did i miss the event but this is the first ive heard of the griefing. You say you a mod eh? Well not to toot my own horn but i could do it. I am on this server quite a bit and you all know me im sure :V It's not like ill abuse my powers to make you all in poverty no way :derp: nah but in all seriousness if you want me id be happy to help otherwise ill just continue to flop around.
-
It's not like ill abuse my powers to make you all in poverty no way :derp:
All hail the king of the peasants! By doing what peasants do best! >:D :colonveeplusalpha:
More serious: I'd also be willing to put myself for the mod position given how often I check the server (almost established myself as a regular player). Furthermore, most of my work here was put onto connection systems such as the overpasses, which plays more of a supportive utilitarian role for others as well rather than just monuments of self-glory. And as for mod powers, well, I don't see too much of a use for them other than to keep order (so don't expect me flying incessantly around, for one).
As for missing the event, it was a fun trickjumping race but, of course, was nothing compared to the TNT madness on Monday evening XD. PX should have a vid of the former soon, and my video of the latter is only 48% uploaded so far, with at least another 2 hours left.
EDIT: FINALLY uploaded, but it'll take some time to process. So no links for you all just yet....oh wait, it's done already, read on down.
-
We wouldn't happen to have something between a mod and not mod, would we?
-
That would be Soda
-
At last, VIDEO'S DONE! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXgJLsyrdfA)
:getdown: :getdown: :getdown: :getdown: :getdown:
You all wanted a world blown to bits, and we got that treatment as test subjects! Of course, the later griefers adding on to that didn't help the cause and killed it entirely.
Also I realized that YT seems to play my 60FPS vid at 30-35 FPS :(
I REALLY need to find a way to use frame blurring to simulate 60FPS once I get Final Cut Pro / Studio (now whether that be the new X version or the last version, I'm not sure).
-
what.
-
what.
Stop repeating yourself on both here and YT! :V
But indeed, that's a pretty good one-word summary of what occurred in video.
-
That video has more explosions than a lets play of bomberman.
And I still want to go build a house in the Far Lands.
-
Finished the video. Nice choice and execution of the soundtrack.
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun that day.
Now, for the subject of moderators:
Griefers wouldn't grief if they knew a mod was on.
I believe that the presence of a mod would help deter griefers from doing their thing. Prevention is the best medicine. It's better to make them not want to grief, rather than constantly fixing their little escapades. The threat of griefing will always be there. As unfortunate as that is, I cannot allow that to keep me from playing a game I love on a server that I enjoy. (first SMP server I joined, by the way..)
That being said, I would like to volunteer to become a moderator.
Let me explain to set myself apart from anyone who is wanting that position specifically for the power. I personally don't care about mod/admin powers. I just want to play the game. Ever since I joined, I've been a quite regular player. (mainly for the construction of the UFO) My plan was to play more of a supportive role in the server once the UFO was complete. Hell, I'm still thinking of making the UFO into a community resource center for anyone who's hard-up on certain items.
As supportive role, I had planned on helping people with their projects. Whether it be exploring a massive cave with Koishi and Mudkip and giving them 95% of the spoils, or helping Stuffman acquire glowstone since the Nether has been picked dry. (not completely my fault, btw) I am impressed by what has been created so far in the server, and I would like to see more of your creations.
Even if I wasn't "promoted", I'd still provide myself as an "assist" character. I guess you could say that I'd like the server to be more community-oriented. [/soapbox]
-
Goddamn, guys. I was gone for two weeks, and now the world's partially destroyed?
-

lolno
i've griefed quite a lot myself with friends, and we normally would act innocent the second a mod would come on. if a griefer griefs while a mod is on, they're just plain ballsy, or are well known on the server and decided to say 'fuck it.'
also about you wanting to become a mod, i dont understand. you dont want the powers, but you want the promotion in itself? that's kinda selfish dont you think? excuse me if i'm seeing this wrong, but what you are saying is that you want to act exactly the same as before, only this time you're a mod, therefore if you tell someone to stop they should stop. which, again, is exactly as before. i'm a tad bit confused about your application
-
Ah, let me clarify.
I'm not applying for the job specifically to obtain the powers. I'm not one to abuse things like that. Mod powers should only be used if necessary, or toward the betterment of the server as a whole.
No, I don't need mod powers to be in the "assist" role I'm about to delegate myself to. If it's selfish to offer to do more, then I apologize.
Edit: I forgot to mention. The UFO is finally complete. I'll post pictures later.
-
Goddamn, guys. I was gone for two weeks, and now the world's partially destroyed?
Yep. First it was the adventure world that no one used until the mass TNT incident (video), then the griefers in the main world.
-
So when is the server gonna be updated? i was on just last night to check up on things and now 1.7 is out.. Can't wait to see what people do with pistons! =3
-
I think DDR may update soon...but of course he'll keep a copy of 1.6.6 files handy in case this is another crippling update (looks at 1.6).
Also, Night4ce, I think your sig is too large for forum. Just a note of warning...I'd take either one of the images off.
-
The way servercraft works, you CAN'T roll back Minecraft once updated. Therefore I'm waiting for the most important plugins to be updated. (Essentials, WorldEdit/Guard, sphere world, some other ones.)
I personally won't be updating until Industrial Craft and my Flying Mod both get updated.
-
I personally won't be updating until Industrial Craft and my Flying Mod both get updated.
You can live without flying, can't you?
-
Well, shit. Guess I'm out until the server gets updated.
-
wait so do I need some kind of mod to play?
-
wait so do I need some kind of mod to play?
No, all the mods are serverside.
-
Server is up and running 1.7.2
Edit: Nominate people for mod positions. I want 2-3.
-
Did we get hit again by a griefer or did i miss out on something?
check it: PIC (http://oi54.tinypic.com/2dqly0.jpg)
Also WHERE IS EVERYONE? srsly no one is ever on >.> As far as nominating goes id nominate dr.strafe, theep, and possibly jquan but he dies too much so idk :V ah jk but yeah that's my nomination. Also guiz no self-nominations that's totally lame
Edit:made it so the names are the ingame names
-

Odd. Updating.
Also guiz no self-nominations that's totally lame
Seconded.
My nominations would be Shady_Ghost, ryudo6850, Dr. Strafe, and Eraiya. Last one is a bit unsure though due to him not being on too often.
EDIT: Changed names to in-game ones.
-
we should have a Communityhouse repair chest somewhere hidden >_> <_<.....
i nominate shady Strafe andddd Erainya/Eraiya
-
I need exact in-game names people. :/
-
Server is down due to servercraft's bullshit. The servers are down or something, I sent a ticket about it. Server remains down.
-
I think making that "Jes7137" guy a mod would be pretty cool.
Theep, Jquan, Eraiya.
-
Server is up, but is suffering from massive lag for some reason.
Edit: It'll be up and down often as I try to fix it.
Edit #2: The lag is so fucking bad, it takes 10 minutes just to start the server. And a minute for a full save. I'll work through this for you guys to install BigBrother and some moderators.
Edit #3: BigBrother is up. Now for moderators. THE LAG IS SO BAD BOTH ME AND SHADY DISCONNECTED... WHEN NOTHING WAS HAPPENING TO STRESS THE SERVER!
Edit: #4: Server will remain down this time til the lag is fixed... either by me or servercraft.
Edit #5: Thanks to Shady constantly joining and leaving while the server was shutting down, I had to forcestop the server, which may cause more void holes.
-
well good luck fixing it ddr. Imma keep trying to log in :derp:
-
My nominations are theep and Azure_Lazuline. I don't have very much experience with the other players to recommend a third. Sorry.
I'll check into the server after I get back from work. Hopefully the lag problems would stabilize by then.
-
Edit #5: Thanks to Shady constantly joining and leaving while the server was shutting down, I had to forcestop the server, which may cause more void holes.
There goes your nomination Shady Also putting Jquan down for recommendation...great, I'm prolly recommending too many now, aren't I?
As for the void holes, :ohdear: hope our stuff doesn't get nuked by map. I don't want to rejoin and see a few bases, sprites, towers, caves, UFOs, and/or community house obliterated.
Also, should a considerable (as in, maybe 40+% of bases and landmarks) amount of stuff get wiped out, I suggest starting fresh. Hopefully that won't happen.
EDIT: Also, whoever gets mod positions may need a quick run-down of what powers they can use to aid in keeping the server free of griefers.
-
And that is how I successfully put everyone in poverty :V
Whoops sorry bro I had no clue that would happen -_-'
-
Theep, Jquan, Eraiya.
My votes for mod position as well.

dr. strafe 3
theep 4

Neat tally. Might want to sort them by most to least.
-
*list*
Hey, I'm pretty sure someone mentioned me. :derp:
-
IT'S BACK UP!
-
HELL YEAH ~ :getdown:
Good timing too - just restored my Win7 from a backup to try and solve the BSOD issues!
EDIT: As a result of the new roleplayers in the community, there is also a "roleplay" world. Never mind them...they are there since their usual server crashed.
Though I wonder if this new groupThere are also a couple bugs from recent issues which are to blame for the obscuring of several major areas in the livefeed.
...and as I was typing this on my laptop whilst connected to MC server on desktop, another erratic restart. >:(
-
So, this is going to be a roleplay server now? Or is everyone just here temporarily?
-
huh o_o ... i dont read this for several hours and it bbecomes a roleplay? wut
-
Nah. It seems that they're just shooting a quick video of sorts.
Edit: DDR wanted me to throw this by you folks. What are your thoughts on the messages that pop up when we find ores underground? Ex: "Dr_Strafe just found some iron ore!" etc. Personally, I find them a bit too repetitive and tiresome. Usually when one finds something cool or rare, they'll post it in the main chat.
-
I still can't get it to work wtf
-
I still can't get it to work wtf
The server has been patched up to 1.7.2 and has been stable for many hours. Lots of people on tonight.

Terribly annoying, especially in the case of iron. Also hate how it automatically takes up main chat when users usually do it themselves.

I Agree, before the first roleback from griefing, me mudkip and stafe have had iron pop up like 277 times in that night XD
-
Livefeed map now has a chat function! Talk to us players from there whilst tracking our moves...once every 5 seconds at most :V
Also, DDR hinted earlier this afternoon that moderators may be instated tonight.
EDIT: Went to Nether to get lava, and it seems the community base is gone! Warped to a new portal in a very inconvenient location. Tried going back to main world that way, I landed back in Skye's shrine.
Tested on DDR's, Skye's, and Ryudo's portals. There is one more far to the west (mine - somehow survived the server wipe) that may be fine, though, but it's not connected to anything.
Though it seems this is already noticed, since the community one now has a sign saying "The Nether has been reset. Good luck!"
And I guess I'll be off hunting giants.
-
I am now disturbed from seeing the convos that now go on.
:horror:
-

Yeah, a bunch of RPers are coming in out of the blue...confused, the lot of them, waiting for SoD to come in.
-
I think making that "Jes7137" guy a mod would be pretty cool.
Theep, Jquan, Eraiya.
Eh? I haven't been on regularly for around a couple of weeks, so I think you have me confused for "Eraiyna." Still, whether you do or not, you have my vote too! And on that note, I think I'll hop on now!
Edit: ... For anyone concerned about me repairing the community house, don't be- if the server's just recently been updated to 1.7.2, installing a new version of BigBrother would wipe player information on who placed/destroyed all blocks from there on out. Installing a new version of BigBrother = Clean slate for the server, which sucks when griefing like this happens. If anyone knows of any griefed structure that they'd like a hand in having repaired- aside from sprite art- I'd be more than happy to assist in repairing it.
Sprite art's an exception for obvious reasons, but I'd be happy to help you collect the materials needed to repair it. As far as the possibility of being a moderator goes, I have experience with both BigBrother and LogBlock, as well as many, many other mods/plugins. When in doubt, I have a list of some 70-90 commands and a brief explanation of what each does/which plugin they go with in notepad, in case I need a reminder.
-
One MAJOR issue with the obscured livefeed!
It grows as players venture further and further out.
I have noticed this over the past few days as both Stuffman's and my sea towers, as well as areas to the west I'm exploring, have become obscured when they previously weren't.
-
DDR man, I'm going to level with you.
I think by letting this new group into the server, we've opened up ourselves to much more griefing than we have ever had. I'm not certain that the roleplaying group are at fault themselves.. but the people that get our address from their forum.
Honestly, the more public we become with this server's address, the more this problem will worsen. Some griefing here and there, (as frustrating and unfortunate as it is) is doable and fixable. However, this is starting to become a daily problem. A problem that might not get solved by the mere addition of moderators.
What do you think? Is this something that we're just going to have to deal with so we can have more players? Or do you think we should go back to a more private group?
Edit: We may need to revert to a recent backup. Some people got hit very hard with this last attack.
-
Seconding Strafe here that the server has begun to grow a bit too large. With chat getting filled with griefer complaints (even in RP world), "where I go" questions from lost RPers, random users popping up for a few minutes, and continuous rebuilding (looks at Night4ce's Church of Mokou, community house, even the now-gone QB), this is getting too far. Building new base further out to reduce the chance of griefers.
Another thing I've noticed is that the server IP seems to be all over - MC Forums, here, YT (this alone scares me)...and now we have 50+ unique players. Brilliant!
I don't think Big Brother is doing much to help.
I highly recommend (1) putting in moderators as soon as possible and (2) taking down instances of the server IP, such as MC Forums (upon the RP registrations ending - tell them to save it somewhere before removing it), your YT channel (just set the teaser vid and others to private, and on future ones don't give away the IP address), the MC server stats banner (which gives the IP away flat-out), and maybe even here (tell users to PM existing players). Maybe we also need spawn jails as well, though we'll first need mods around the clock.
EDIT: I'm personally against reverting and instead encourage more donations to those who have been affected.
-
I agree with what Dr. Strafe and PARU have said wholeheartedly.
Repairs to the community center are finished, and repairs (http://i.imgur.com/hR0Aw.png) to (http://i.imgur.com/OTMRw.png) Skye's (http://i.imgur.com/A5Kb6.png) home (http://i.imgur.com/WXRg0.png) are (http://i.imgur.com/U2dV0.png) coming (http://i.imgur.com/QvYDs.png) along (http://i.imgur.com/a1hmx.png) nicely! (http://i.imgur.com/ZTs95.png) My biggest concern is that this wasn't griefing at all, as it seems like only wood, wool, etc. was destroyed in this home that's around 80% flammable. And with all that burning netherrack near the top... So, for that reason- and due to getting lazy after gathering/placing 6+ stacks of pine logs, planks, fences, torches, etc- I decided not to place too many more pine logs near the roof/burning netherrack, in case something like that happens again.
-
I don't think anything short of a whitelist will fix the problem at this point.
-
I don't think anything short of a whitelist will fix the problem at this point.
I almost suggested one...but it'd make things a hell of a lot harder from the admin/mod perspective of things.
-
If theres a whitelist, it cant just be a shitty 'do you want to join y/n' one. If DDR makes a whitelist, He and the other mods that may or may not exist should know when something gets griefed, it's also going to particially be their fault for letting a griefer into the server.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST TWO GRIEFING BANS! FEELS GOOD!

lemme guess was it charcaid and EuropeRick? well even if you didnt tell me that's who I thought it was. anyways THERE'S TOO MANY PEOPLE NOW. well im just kidding but srsly there's so many of 'em
-
Did they grief my Church of Mokou again??
But I agree on a white-list on a server open to this mass of the internet.. Griefers are always gonna be there unless you put a cork in on the drip.. Even if one makes it past... that's one compared to the dozens that would have hit and never get properly banned..
I vote for white-list..
-
well im just kidding but srsly there's so many of 'em
61 Unique players have joined this server for the first time!
Possibly more, depending on who joined between last night and now.
-
lemme guess was it charcaid and EuropeRick?
Definitely not the first one, who (according to chat logs) is in for RP...but seems to be a bit pushy about it (eg. "I'm ready to act!", "check out my new skin from halo".)
-
EuropeRick was one of the ones to get banned. Charcaid is just a kid seeking attention. He's been connecting/disconnecting constantly all day.
We're almost to 80 unique visitors. We've quadrupled our "userbase" in less than a week.
-
Oh so everytime I log-on 30 people join?
And my MC seems to have suicided.
-
Remember to report any griefing to me in-game so that I can investigate with BigBrother.
(Also my electricity has been restored)
-
We seriously need to keep an eye on the players adrian246 and fig_man_57. They were both asking for supplies to make TNT and flint & steel. I caught them trying to detonate TNT outside the community house. Their excuse: "I needed some stone"
fig_man_57 also has a habit of killing players for their stuff. Thankfully I got mine back.
EDIT: Also, I find it odd that people in the roleplay world can join our world, but we cannot join theirs. I don't believe that our users are the ones that grief. It's like the odds are stacked against the MotK half of the server.
-
I'm getting suspicious of those two as well. First the TNT bit, and now they demand random stuff, notably OP position. The former even pushed me to say "make adrian an OP, DDR or SoD!" ...yeah, as if that'll happen!
As for the MotK users, generally speaking we know each other rather well, so I highly doubt it's our userbase. But the RPers are more hodgepodge, just registering to this server and project on a whim based on a MC forum thread.
And it's bad enough that the RP users are complaining about griefing in their world as well.
DDR exploded another 4K TNT somewhere else, with Adrian and fig_man as test subjects. No idea why.
Also, earlier this evening someone joined our server JUST because he thought it was a parkour/trickjumping one. DDR, I highly suggest removing the teaser now that the event is passed and Minecraft's Edge is no more. It's giving newcomers the wrong idea about what this server is, in addition to the griefer lure.
-
Where is the thread on the MC forums anyway?
-
Tried looking for it, couldn't find anything on the matter :derp:
The forums are just as messy as the Steam one....
-
well great someone actually stole everything i had and i do mean EVERYTHING. ah oh well no use crying over lost stuff i shoulda protected better. but i guess im now officially in poverty.......... :V
-

We'll try to help you out there! :D
Feel free to ask us if you need anything to get set up again into the next part of the cycle of poverty.
-
I'm going to suggest server downtime and check through who may be griefing. I'd also recommend a required 'login', for a whitelist. All members are required to log in, and those that do not cant do anything. The fact you can simplely terminate a password so someone's pretty much banned from the server is pretty good imo. Would stop a lot of griefers.
That, or ask the server hosts to move to a new IP and dont tell everyone and their mother about said IP :V
-

I heavily endorse this.
Edit: Sorry DDR, my creeper photos didn't come out so good. EP's is excellent though.
-
I also recommend IP moves, starting first with key members (mods, active community players) and then spreading from there.
On a lighter note...DDR has tamed the creeper. (http://i52.tinypic.com/xpwp61.png)

The creeper leveled up to lvl20 and evolved!
Don't have pics though.
-
That creeper mount is hawt. I also agree n a new IP address
-
While I wasn't there to see it for myself, I don't think Strafe and theep would make up something like that for no reason, and considering who they are, I'm inclined to trust them on their word. Changing the IP: sure, sounds great. Another possible solution could be to bump up all MotK members one rank- one above the default but one below moderator, a new usergroup you could make with Permissions or GroupManager or whatever plugin you're using for that- and disallow building permissions for default ranked players.
That way, if someone joins the server, they won't immediately be able to rip and tear into things. Also, griefers people like adrian246 and fig_man_57 would go through a short phase of, "Yes, we know you're online and want to be promoted from Default to Member, but we'd like to get to know you first" to help separate potential griefers from people who wish to be a part of the community. I've suggested this for two servers in the past, one on which I was a mod, one on which I was an admin, and on both, there were fantastic results.
Edit: As for griefing to report, someone made the mistake of stealing all four beds from the community house. Obviously, as one person pointed out, the only reason someone would need to steal all four would be "so that other people can't use them." I've since replaced the beds, and would like for you to see who destroyed then stole them before I replaced them, DDR. Oh, and what was previously a small wheat farm within about ten blocks of the community house has had a large portion of glass destroyed- might wanna check that out, too.
How convenient, Adrian typing "GTG" and logging out IMMEDIATELY the moment I ask why he's bragging about having finished making TNT out of about 100 bits of gunpowder.

This griefing problem wasn't here when I first joined.. Now weeks later it's top subject.. Something gotta be done.. White-list or secret IP change.. When we fear our stuff is gonna be torn down, *mini Sakuya, mini Okuu and QB are now victims* then it's time to do something to rid the threat..

DDR, I was just chatting with the bros in the server (and mistaken for you somehow), And I was looking at Eraiya. The whole screen for me was black. There was nothing rendered on the map near Eraiya, And the same goes for the two guys that were in the RP world at the time. Any possible fix?

The livefeed has been broken since the 1.7 update. All areas explored since then have their chunks obscured.
The only good indicator for the livefeed for now is for relative player locations.

Accidentally double posted, but the subject matter is different from last post.
While I wasn't there to see it for myself, I don't think Strafe and theep would make up something like that for no reason, and considering who they are, I'm inclined to trust them on their word. Changing the IP: sure, sounds great. Another possible solution could be to bump up all MotK members one rank- one above the default but one below moderator, a new usergroup you could make with Permissions or GroupManager or whatever plugin you're using for that- and disallow building permissions for default ranked players.
Bump all existing MotK members? Well, that'd be nice but first we'll need to know of the changes, not only to our group but to any newcomers who join in.
Also, rather than out-right broadcast the IP it should be distributed in a more private manner, such as batch PMs on this forum.
I wonder if there is a plugin that disables certain crafting recipes (namely TNT and Flint & Steel) to certain groups...?
That way, if someone joins the server, they won't immediately be able to rip and tear into things. Also, griefers people like adrian246 and fig_man_57 would go through a short phase of, "Yes, we know you're online and want to be promoted from Default to Member, but we'd like to get to know you first" to help separate potential griefers from people who wish to be a part of the community.
Very good idea!

Community house is little more than griefer's paradise now. I don't even think we MotK-based users pay a good visit to it, other than to go back and forth between bases.

I hereby declare we probate (or temp ban, with indeterminate length of time) Adrian and fig_man, now.

WorldGuard can:
disable/kick a player/ban a player/alert the entire server/alert only members of a certain rank
upon the
use/placement/tossing out/obtaining/left clicking/right clicking
of any item/block
In short, yep, WorldGuard can disallow players from placing TNT blocks and trying to use Flint & Steel, or kick them for attempting to!
Community house is little more than griefer's paradise now. I don't even think we MotK-based users pay a good visit to it, other than to go back and forth between bases.
Then I'll just have to keep repairing it as damages occur! Unless BigBrother's rollback feature works again in 1.7, in which case, DDR can just repair it all within five seconds, where it may take hours for someone else. But as of 1.6.6, those rollback commands were broken.
Welp, anywho. Took an hour and a half, but I repaired most of the holes and ohmygodwhodidwhattotheterraintomakeitlooklikethis's near the community house and planted about twice as many torches around to help negate mobs spawning in many, many places.
-
i just went on like 20 minutes ago, and apparently all the signs were wiped in the communtiyhouse, its all blank... not sure if there is any other damage...
-
Ugh, Just ban the adrian person and see if the griefing stops. Or at least slows down.

Sign griefer banned, but couldnt rollback signs.

Nice! Though it wasn't exactly what I was asking about (which is similar to how free TF2 players cannot craft hats - same idea in MC for players below a certain rank trying to craft / build / remove certain blocks and items).

It's been like that since last night, probably a bit longer.

Did you get whoever did the beds, too? Also, how's the decision on picking a few moderators coming along?
Oh, the sign thing in the community house reminded me! Whoever made that chest nearest the back door in the corner, could you please move it over two spaces to be closer to the chest nearest that one, then once you do, type /cpublic and give it a smack? I'd do this myself, but it seems like only the person who originally did this is able to!

MASSIVE QUOTE SECTION: GO!
I almost suggested [a whitelist]...but it'd make things a hell of a lot harder from the admin/mod perspective of things.
If theres a whitelist, it cant just be a shitty 'do you want to join y/n' one. If DDR makes a whitelist, He and the other mods that may or may not exist should know when something gets griefed, it's also going to particially be their fault for letting a griefer into the server.
Agreed. It would be difficult to make sure people aren't griefers before letting them into the server. It's a catch-22 situation, really.
*mini Sakuya, mini Okuu and QB are now victims*
Okuu sprite was never completed - no griefing occurred there. Mini Sakuya, QB, and Mario were the only sprites to get hit this last time. The most damage was at Rukin's treehouse and the Yatagarasu shrine, nevermind the large holes in the landscape..
Changing the IP: sure, sounds great. Another possible solution could be to bump up all MotK members one rank- one above the default but one below moderator, a new usergroup you could make with Permissions or GroupManager or whatever plugin you're using for that- and disallow building permissions for default ranked players.
Sounds viable. This way, the MotK crew could act as watch dogs for the server. Wasn't the server provided for US in the first place?
i just went on like 20 minutes ago, and apparently all the signs were wiped in the communtiyhouse, its all blank... not sure if there is any other damage...
When DDR banned that griefer, he also "rolled back" the damaged caused by him. The signs returned, but the writing did not.

That might work as well. Although, when I was last on, DDR completely disabled fire. The flint & steel is pretty much useless for now (sorry to those who like to burn pigs for food)
Aaaand, we're caught up.
It seems that now a default spawn room has been constructed. It has rooms and switches that would supposedly transport users to their respective worlds. Not sure if this will fix our problem, due to the fact that ANYONE can still use /warp to get back to the community house. Hell, I'm not sure if the switches are locked due to permissions or not. What would this mean for new players that we're not sure which world they want to play in? Is it just a jail until mods let them out?
... I believe fig_man_57 took the beds. I noticed that he had two when I killed him to get my stuff back. Adrian uses /home and /warp to travel between the two worlds.
Edit(s): fixing various mistakes..
*sigh* I really wish these roleplay people would just shoot their stupid video and leave already. Their presence has caused nothing but headache.
-
Locked out of server files again. When I regain access, I'll instate the moderators and remove access to the warp command. I've already disabled fire and TNT... hopefully.
Edit: MoTK members shall have their own group. I need time to get all this done.
Edit #2: Looking for a chat plug-in that displays the player's permissions group in the chat.

Agh.
I think warp should remain for MotK usergroup. We're a bit used to /warp communityhouse by now.
Plus, if possible, moderators could have the ability to set new warp points, which can be posted on signs in community areas.

/me quickly reads over the information on the commands
I'll have to see how each of these work....
Mods should have /setwarp in the near future, according to DDR. This'll make things a bit easier for the MotK crew.
It's also funny how some commands, such as /playerlist, /afk, and even /home, don't work at all for us while normal and MotK members have it fine. ??? ??? ???
EDIT: Issue patched - the mods now inherit all characteristics from the MotK group and then get these properties above. They should also be able to bypass region protection.

i think temporarily turning off PVP throughout the world would help a bit right now, the only way 1 can kill another is with sand and gravel to suffocate since fire is turned off...
or digg a hole under em and drown em...
Oh and dont forget about lava...
-
Most of you MotK-based players are already in the MotK group (I PMed a list of players), but if by some chance you aren't (check by chatting or using /warp), let DDR know via PM.
Also, this is probably deliberate, but when in Nether all users there turn to default group. On the bright side, it adds to the challenge.

i'm currently kind of afraid to carry anything of value with me with all these going on right now.. even if there is mobs...
just 4 hours ago when DDr was teleing people around i was msning and watching my minecraft in sphere and i see that fig guy stand infront of me and switch to a diamond sword and i quickly moved me head to look at him directly and he moved away ....
just saying >_>

Can you at least probate the fig person? The users are suspicious of him, and if griefing activity goes down then its him, and he can stay in banland forever. The best outcome is finding out he and his brother (he has one right?) are griefers, And they get banned. The worst part is that we lose one or two players from the server, which again isnt a bad thing.

We'll get to that once /setwarp is confirmed as a power. I'm trying to compile a list of areas whilst building a giant underground rail system (yep, your world link idea is getting revived in a sense).

I'm keeping an eye out on him. Seems to be building benignly for now, but from what I've been hearing he isn't such a peaceful player. Must be because he does all that whilst we mods and admins aren't looking (and seeing as our positions are clearly indicated on chat....)
If, over the course of the day, he keeps on acting problematic, I will move to kick him off the server (and Adrian as well if he jumps in too deep).
EDIT: BigBrother, you are awesome.
Investigated fig_man_57 (http://i52.tinypic.com/28vsocj.png) near community house. Also did adrian246 (http://i53.tinypic.com/2u6k8ck.png) as well.
100 blocks may be a bit of an excessive range...but I think this may explain the missing beds and TNT.
We may even have enough justification to kick or ban them.
-
How the hell did Fig place down fire?
-
I just caught fig griefing at a house near Shady's and my area, taking torches, chest contents, and part of the floor.. I tried questioning him, but he started running back with no response, so I resorted to a kick.
But kicks are temporary. So he's back again, running from my sight and refusing to answer my questions.
-
Busted eh? Well done.
I might finally get off my arse and start up on this server for once sometime today, barring I don't fall asleep randomly again.
Hopefully it will work, I've had a fair bit of trouble with getting onto servers in the past.
Of course, I'll make sure my hideout is well-hidden.
Lemme think...What name did I use again...
Oh yeah, I made the account back when I was really into SA, Satori was my favorite character back then, so I used Komeiji, since it was a name I used on the net a lot back then.
-
Turns out he's griefed more than I thought...my old base has been affected a good bit, it seems he may be responsible for item theft all over the place, and now he decides to give a smattering of our stuff back and "promises" to not grief. Took time away that could have been used for breakfast. >:(
It's official. Let's ban him. >:D
EDIT: He also has a locked chest in his "base"...may have some of our stuff. Could use him as a method of getting our items back and delivering his punishment, or admins could remove protection on that chest. Either way....

I will also add that everyone should protect the chests in their houses. Many of these newbies are raiding anything they can

We should ban him. In fact, I've got an idea. I'm looking at the map right now, and he just quit and rejoined and quit again. Likely due to router problems. Whenever I talk on the map, people think I'm DDR, so lets prank him before we ban him, eh?
Or you know, just ban him now and ruin kippys fun ;_;

I could attempt to get on the server now. However, Most of my stuff is most likely griefed or stolen. That reminds me, I had a good 3+ stacks of bookshelves, and if I find those missing could DDR gimme some? i'm thinking about making an underground library with red wool.

We're more than happy to assist with missing items and your construction projects!
I also have a bleak feeling that Fig's Nether trips were ways he could dump all our stuff into the lava, never to be seen again. No wonder why he kept asking us for teleports out of there.

I'm a bit late, but:
One great plugin I'd like to recommend is HeroChat. It features highly configurable chat channels which can be made public, private or password protected, custom message formatting including colors and health bars beside players' names in chat, channel moderation, local chat, ignore lists, relays messages between Minecraft and IRC, and more!

^HeroChat.
Also, you don't just accidentally destroy beds + ladders + note blocks in the community safehouse and not replace them. You don't just accidentally destroy several blocks of TNT inside/near it hoping they'll cause some damage. If they haven't been banned yet, let it be done already. The evidence is overwhelming, and if it isn't for some of you, I'd be happy to find more.
Edit: Oh, those three glass blocks that were broken at the top of the ladder in the corner of the community house that has my chests: I broke those on purpose to make it easier to jump down in a hurry. Whoever spent three glass blocks to repair that, let me know who you are so I can replace them for you.

Not to mention a fair number of logs, depending on how you place 'em: out in the open or hidden. You'll need at least one within five blocks of every leaf block.

"Derp" about the, "Hey, who placed those three glass blocks so I can replace 'em?" since we all have access to /bb log. Theep: I owe you three glass blocks.
Call me paranoid if you want, but I took "MotK members now have access to /bb log and /bb done." as, "MotK members now have access to /bb log and /bb done, and perhaps some other commands, too!" So I tinkered around with known /bb commands for awhile. We all also have access to /bb here, /bb here [name], /bb stick 0, /bb stick 1 and /bb stick 2.
/bb here: Lets you know who's made modifications within a small, nearby area, and how many modifications they've made will appear next to their name. Fire damage and such will appear as Environment.
/bb here name: Lets you know the specifics of who's made modifications within a small, nearby area; how many modifications they've made placing/destroying/using things, and every block/item they placed/destroyed/used.
/bb stick 0: Equivalent of /bb done
/bb stick 1: Equivalent of /bb log
/bb stick 2: This one does everything that /bb log and /bb stick 1 does, but more. While /bb stick 1 is great for seeing who's placed blocks in an area- and seeing if anyone's destroyed blocks in that location before- what do you do when you see multiple rows of glass missing from the community house? You can't very well use /bb stick 1 to smack the air with a stick to see who destroyed them, right? That's where /bb stick 2 comes in. While it can also be used to check placed blocks, since /bb stick 2 is a log block, it can be placed in empty spaces; after you do that, it'll let you know what used to be in that empty space, who destroyed whatever was there, etc.
I've used the above, as well as common sense, to determine that you don't just place, then destroy multiple TNT blocks, (http://i.imgur.com/X7oyC.png) destroy glass blocks, (http://i.imgur.com/6maBN.png) destroy beds to steal from the community (http://i.imgur.com/n2oBT.png) and destroy torches to steal from the community (http://i.imgur.com/X2QlM.png) on accident, without repairing your "mistakes."
In other news, you've gotta be squidding me. (http://i.imgur.com/SM73X.png) So they grief our server, "hay guiz i found a new 1 lets go LOL!" and that's that? And I'm willing to bet that that disgusting, half-finished home made out of everything from pink wool to cobblestone, from bricks to dirt and everything in-between, the one with the large chest in it, has a lot of players' goods which have been stolen. BigBrother says this structure belongs to fig_man_57, which is why I think that. Moderators SHOULD be able to peek into the chest to find out. If they're unable to, DDR needs to change their permissions to allow for this, as I've been able to view the contents of locked chests as a moderator/administrator of several other servers using LWC.

Except I usually run from my laptop which has one, and desktop usually running SSP where I test out stuff/run live feed map.
Also, as soon as I finish landscaping and building the maze, I'll probably start a long long long tunnel to my base, which apparently doesn't appear on the live feed, but my lava outpost does.

There is nothing under my church.

DId you have to say that out loud? Now others will be hunting for stuff around there...!
Might as well call that church the Kaguya Lunarian Church now, seeing as the Mokou Church of Immortal Pyromancy is just nearby.
At least this one won't burn down the rest of the area iif something goes wrong.
Grueling along with subway in the main areas.

Fire is disabled so I can't make a fireplace. DD:
Also, here's the plan for the maze, if you don't want to get spoiled, don't look at it.
MAZE (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i405/Biohazurd/maze.png)
Black is going to be leaves. White the space you walk (on mossy cobble), central area exposed (or maybe glass bordered) with waterfalls and a giant tree in the middle.

I'm currently building the Jeweled Pagoda. It's proving to be quite a test of my sculpting skills...
I'm happy with the progress so far, but the ropes along the bottom will need to be reshaped :(
-
I'll be glad to assist. Also (if you haven't already) you should PM DDR with your MC name so he can register you with the MotK group.
Oh, Imma do that. Thanks.
Also shit, EP. Help me out here :V
Oh btw the huge ugly ass thing I'm making is indeed huge and ugly-ass. I'm trying my best to make it look more presentable, but that'll take time.
That's what happens when I build on a whim without having any actual clue what I intend on building lol.

OK. Feel free to tell me what you need right here or in MC chat and I'll be glad to assist, as stated earlier.
URGENT EDIT!
We've been griefed by fig_man, Adrian, and Charcaid again. MASSIVELY. Community house got corrupted to oblivion.
Put those three on permaban. Now.
I've rolled back parts of the world to attempt restorations...but it seems some overnight developments may be affected by this. If this is the case then I apologize in advance and will assist in restoration.
(we also really need /setwarp to allow for easier checks in far-away areas)
Also seems the community house rollbacks keep fucking up so I'm repairing those manually. But some of the new blocks (which seem to have no edits whatsoever) have region protection which we mods still don't have a way around.
I've also deleted all instances of fig_man_57's, adrian246's, and charcaid's work on this server. So no more pink house nearby.
(...sorry all if my actions are a bit on the extreme end and a bit quick...but it seems necessary)
If you all can join in and help us repair the damage (and maybe idiotic rollbacks as well), it'd be more than appreciated.
-
Hey, I was far away so I wasn't sure of what was happening, but I have screenshots of their chatting!
I started capping when they started calling people names and I found that odd, I got a bunch of "lol this is like revenge" and stuff.
Will post if necessary, I have to be somewhere now. That shit sucks.
e: I'll be back in an hour and a half or so, if you still need help.
e2: fuck my f2-fu missed most of the dialogue but that's probably logged.

I just reread this, then DDR's list of commands that moderators can use, and noticed that /ban isn't one of them. That's... Not good. As one of the people who would have loved to have banned the first two people days before this ever happened- and that's certainly not to say that I didn't have my eye on the third- I'm disappointed in a lack of a /ban command for moderators, as this could have easily been avoided, had there only been a sufficient number of moderators willing to take action, and the ability FOR them to take action. As things stand now, you could have every MotK member be a moderator, but it wouldn't make any difference if they're incapable of /ban ning a single person.
That said, allow me to be frank. I'd like for you to reconsider making me a moderator. I've tried getting in touch with you in several different places just to ask why you felt that I would make a below-average moderator, but haven't received any replies, so I may as well put this out in the open. As someone with nearly a year of experience playing this game and almost as much time spent moderating and administrating servers as well, I can certainly say that I'm not lacking in the 'experience' department, and many of the plugins that your server now runs on- such as BigBrother, LWC and even Bukkit- stand as testament to this. From toiling over the community house for far over twenty hours to making the Nether a safer place to be before the Nether was reset, from helping rebuild Skye's home as best I could with over seven stacks of materials to handing out free materials from smooth stone to glass, from redstone dust to diamonds, I feel like I've been nothing short of an extremely upright member of the community. I'd like to take this helpfulness a step further in the form of protecting the server from griefers in ways which, currently, I'm unable to.
Theep - Your actions are nowhere near extreme, they're much more than reasonable, don't you worry about that for a moment. By the time you read this, I've already logged on to offer my assistance.

First, Haku, I'll give thanks for encouraging me to get on the server this morning while the griefing was going on. A moment sooner, and maybe they wouldn't be there to face disciplinary action.
I got the same idea too. While I was trying to roll back the areas they were all blaming SoD_Devil (the other "admin" figure) and then proceeded to go to revenge...by putting a shitton of purple wool and stuff in community house.
The worst part was that they offered to repair it with said wool and shit. As if that was the original material, and I explicitly told them I could repair with BB rollbacks. They failed to listen.
They tried to blame each other and especially Devil for the blocks, but BB logs say otherwise. >:D
And of course, when I threatened to ban all of them they begged me to take Devil with them and pleaded that I not ban them. Then they ask for forgiveness...well, that won't happen!

What I've seen in some FPS servers is that only mods and admins get banning powers, but ordinary users can stage a votekick. If Permissions and such allow for that I'd encourage it to the MotK usergroup, so they can pull a few actions whilst we mods and admins aren't around.
The userbase can then report them in, so we can set appropriate action.
But seriously, if we mods had banning powers I would've banned Fig yesterday, leaving one less griefer to worry about.
That said, allow me to be frank. I'd like for you to reconsider making me a moderator....
I will second this action, as well as expansion of mod powers to allow for bans, warp setting, the ability to bypass region protection (DDR asked me to test it earlier, and he said he would fix it but hasn't gotten around to doing that yet), and maybe flying immunity (which Eraiya and SodaMachine seemed to have before the permissions changes).
The rest of the admin powers...well, we don't seem to need them (least of all lightning). :V
Theep - Your actions are nowhere near extreme, they're much more than reasonable, don't you worry about that for a moment. By the time you read this, I've already logged on to offer my assistance.
Many thanks for your support. I was worrying that my actions would result in unforseen consequences such as lots of work going down the drain, which could cause an uproar. But it seems the uproar is against the griefers for now.

@The_EP I was slow this morning and failed to realize what went on while it went on. Had I more experience I'd have rushed to warn you or whoever I could find about it. Sorry about that.

I forgot all about it until now, but such a plugin does exist. Or at least it did in mid-Alpha, as that's the last time I remember seeing it used. It worked rather well, I'd say.
But seriously, if we mods had banning powers I would've banned Fig yesterday, leaving one less griefer to worry about.
Which is a good thing- one thing that never ceases to bug me on any game is clear evidence of someone being a griefer, but the moderators/administrators of that server refusing to take action simply because they don't feel like it or, to them, the evidence isn't sufficient.

Thanks for your support, too! I agree with all of the above, except for two things- I don't have flying immunity, I've just gotten used to being very careful with flying to avoid the auto-kick. :3 The other thing I disagree with: I'm not worried about your actions resulting in unforeseen consequences. Did I, personally, lose at least an hour's worth of work from the rollback? Yes, but I only mention this to add: it's no problem, really. I had a couple of hours to patch up those TNT holes by hand yesterday, and if I'm capable of doing it once, I'm capable of doing it a second time, so there's no need to worry about that! Don't sweat it~

Ah. Plus it seems everything outside the community house area is in working order, so my point is quite moot. :)
Yep, I guess I have to ease up a bit after the griefing madness over the past two days.
Also add Jes to our list of moderators.

Yep! But don't worry, you should be able to within twelve hours, hopefully~

Welcome to MotK!
To DDR: Add Rukin and HakureiSM to the MotK group next time you're on...as well as consider the above stuff Eraiya and I have mentioned following the recent attack.

Add Rizock to the MotK group as well
-
And perhaps also truros.

I think though we should be able to tie these MC accounts with a corresponding MotK user first. So we should get them to register on forums first and have them post here.

Well, truros is actually me. I hink i might have mentioned it earlier in the thread sometime.

I see.
It's already been said before, but the Mods really do need access to /ban. Adrian popped in a couple of times, where I promptly hit him with /kill. I'm trying to get him to lose interest in the server since I cannot do anything more.

4 buckets of water.
1 dirt.
1 sapling.

Hell no. I don't have VC, for one. It would also take far too long, and we already have 3-4 community areas.

WorldEdit was too obvious this time around. :V Otherwise, very nice.
EDIT: Livefeed is down!
Sphere world portal is back online but it's been COMPLETELY reset! Anything you had in there is irrecoverably lost.
Also everyone gets reverted to default status here, and to get out you must have a /home set or get TPed by a mod/admin in main world. (Though god mode still works there....)

Pfft. San Andreas is where it's at.

I'll help out as well if needed. Same goes for anyone else that needs a supply man and/or fellow builder.
EDIT - I just now noticed that someone managed to get into my private chests in the UFO. They managed to take all of my diamonds and armor, among other hard-to-find items. Yes, I can replace them.. but the question is more about the security of protected chests and blocks. Has anyone else had this level of thievery?

Eraiya has suggested that there's a bug where protected double chests only protect one of them, leaving the other free for taking. New advice? Split all double chests with valuables into single chests.

Sigh... It's that modification that, among other features, allows you to fire the Master Spark in GTA, isn't it? It made me want to reinstall my San Andreas, but I've misplaced the CD and I'm positively frustrated about that. (If it's not part of Touhou GTA, then you should definitely check out how Master Sparking in SA looks and feels like (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY_Rf4UUegg). I love Master Spark. Life needs more Master Sparks, to be honest.)
Anyway, on topic. You... I mean, we have our own Minecraft server? It's, like... guuuuuys, it's awesome! Yayayayayayaaaaaa!...y! And it's Survival Multiplayer, meaning there are creepers afoot during night and it's still about survival first and foremost, and not just building, yes? Amazing.
So basically, can I join in? I've purchased Minecraft not long ago and I've been having mighty fun building redstone contraptions so far. It was all fun, but eventually single player started to bore me. I'd like to see how netplay looks like.
I know the basic code of conduct. No laying a finger on other people's property. So it's just like the real life.
But I'm very much a newb. I've no experience with mods and the only time I tried to modify my Minecraft was when I attempted to get it to use these neat GLSL shaders so that I could trip balls while playing like that (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpksyojwqzE). It failed though as the mod only worked with the old version of Minecraft. If I am allowed to play on this server, could you tell me the basics I need to know? Like which version to use, what mods are required (if any) and what not?
And, um, my Minecraft login is Cadrin, pretty much same as my nickname here, so I guess that's the name I'll be using in Minecraft. If that's even relevant.

You need the latest version (1.7.3+) to play here. Also all mods are serverside, so you don't need any to play here (though some use Zombe's Mods to fly around for a bit...and then get kicked automatically).
Feel free to contact any of us to get yourself started quickly. Also most of us have moved a good distance from the main spawn, so one of us mods may TP you to one of the new areas upon request.

Very information, EP. Except it actually didn't give any real information from a newbie's point of view.
Oh yes, Cadrin. Do you wish to join my evil church cult of Lunarians? Or perhaps you wish to join Mokou and the pyros...
I hereby declare Lunarians vs. Pyros.
Everyone, pick a side.

Very information, EP. Except it actually didn't give any real information from a newbie's point of view.
Well, if you can elaborate or simplify in that regard it'd be welcomed. I just tried to quickly answer questions.
-
Except my map awareness outside the first two main hubs and the new fortress (and all my territory to the south) sucks.
Just saying you should sum up what has happened/is happening in the world now, so people don't get completely lost when they spawn in a house near a nearly abandoned community house, without a clue what to do.

Oh yes, I didn't notice that. It's kinda confusing to me, looks like a combination of many Touhou-related plug-ins to SA, and I think I see my Master Spark here. Cool beans.
You're more than welcome to!
Hooray!
So all I have to do is connect and I'm good to go? I thought there's some kind of a whitelist, meaning only people who are approved by the administration are free to enter the server. That's why I decided to write here first. And also because it'd probably be rude of me to barge in without a proper introduction.

Okay then, it's good to know.
Shame about 1.7.3. It fixed my instantly favourited piston dupe glitch that helped me sooo much to get these iron blocks for decoration. Mining is a chore at times, especially when you're looking for diamonds.

Whaaaat, there are factions?
I dunno, I feel like I'm from the Moon myself so being in the church of Lunarians would be fitting, no? Anyway, I wonder what siding myself with one of the factions implies. Guess I'll see it when I get there.
By the way, there are a few different server addresses in the first post. Well I guess I'll just try typing in each one and see which one works, then. Can't wait to see how the server looks and meet other Minecraftians in game! Less talk, more action!

Somewhat but not in the "factions mod" sense. Just a few differences (Bio's Kaguya Lunarian vs. Night4ce's Mokou Pyromancy churches, a small quabble over two new bases/villages, etc.) that we quickly work around and utilize.
Adrian's back in. Keeping a close eye on his actions again. As for Charcaid and Fig, they've more than proved they can't stay any longer here.

Ok, so I promised some pictures of my stuff. Time to make good on that:

Just completed: Jeweled Pagoda of Bishamonten (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/834/20110709094718.png/)
I really enjoyed making these. Guess I'll roam around a bit while thinking up my next project.

Adrian's back in. Keeping a close eye on his actions again. As for Charcaid and Fig, they've more than proved they can't stay any longer here.
I'd strongly recommend doing away with Adrian, too. When groups of griefers come around to any server on any game, leaving a single one behind is an open invitation for that person to continue griefing, often with more bravado than they had before. As someone who was barely ten feet away from one of the other griefers as they were griefing and as someone who has quite an overwhelming pile of evidence stacked against him as a griefer too, I think the right move would be to ban him, as well- and I don't mean in a day or two, I mean as soon as possible. Then again, I'm.. Not sure if you can do that yet or not.

I need exact in-game names.

adrian246, fig_man_57 (Brothers, twelve and ten respectively) and charcaid, all lowercase names.

Looks like we have another Griefer...
TaylorGx, found him/her destroying the netherack outline of my house... and my workbench

Oh it's one of the guys that spent like 3 hours yesterday killing each other with feathers and flowers and shit

Skye - Also, some of your glass. Yes, I happened to pass by, noticed that it looked odd and checked it out with BB, too.
Hakurei - Ye~p. And s'more today, too. Got plenty of screenshots, but currently feel too lazy to upload 'em. Blah.

This is not surprising.
iFail_v_B34STLY, who shares house with TaylorGX after squabbling with each other, said that the latter gathers stuff...this may just be how he does it. By griefing. >:(

Keep a look out for Your_Account. He's part of that group as well and lives in the same base as Taylor and B34STLY.
I've been weary of iFail_v_B34STLY since he threw a fit about getting banned from the new server. Apparently adrian246 is trying to recruit him or something. They all seem to know each other; most likely due to the whole roleplay server nonsense.

i also found this cobble tower, single block tower, near my house and i used bb on it.. it was ifail that did it... i dismantled it ...

It seems the community is doing a better job at governing.
Rukin decided to use Kaguya Lunarian as a meeting spot for community issues. With that we had a meeting (me, Strafe, Night4ce, EternitySky, iFail, XeonForce (Night4ce's brother), Rukin) concerning the griefers, and concluded that a good idea is to make a bedrock-covered spawn that tells the list of rules newcomers should heed before coming in. Or better yet, a griefer jail made of same substance, with all warping and home powers disabled within that region.
Also direct rails are under construction between some of these major areas.

Or we could banish them to a "Prison Dimension" to where they cannot get back. Space, or a single unbreakable sphere..
But for this to work, Mods will need to be able to use their powers in other worlds. (sphere, Nether, etc.)

RAIL COMPLETE! Many thanks to Strafe, Rukin, and EternitySky for their big assistance!
One major far-off area is connected to Community House by underground rail. No more arduous walking from there!

Um...we shouldn't give the basic information on the far-away camps on here (security measure we implemented in-game). Leave it in MC chat, and edit your post to take out the name at least.
I would work on that, but next up is further expansion of the regular subway and the Hakurei Shrine.

:X sorry bout that...

:X sorry bout that...
It's cool. We are simply being a bit paranoid about a griefer attack on these areas. Which, going by the last two weeks of activity, is very justifiable.
...and the rail system we built overnight is there since we still can't /setwarp yet, and even if we did newer MotK players who still have Member status couldn't use /warp.

So yeah, should I start building a tunnel to my place? Except I don't really know where it is.
If the live feed worked, you'd just need to scroll down and you see lava everywhere (my outpost), it even worked when it was partially screwed up.
When it's connected, I'll prob start building there and make a sky city/tree city or something.

I think I know the general direction at least, and I recommend you start tunneling now. I will connect that base to the rail system but not yet.

Oh yeah, I still know nothing about the serverland other than the immediate area of he village around my tower

Pros and cons of sending confirmed griefers to a jail!
Pros
* It's often more amusing for the normal players than simply /kickbanning them.
Cons
* Thanks to commands like /home and /warp, you'll also need to install a jail-related plugin for this, or DDR would have to make a new usergroup that doesn't have any permissions- this would include placing/breaking blocks. That being the equivalent of the "Banned" usergroup, you may as well just type /ban [name], /kick [name] or /kickban [name] if this server has that command. While a person with no permissions, including placing/breaking blocks, can't seem to do much, they can still try to be a thief and a...
* Chat spammer. If they can't get to you by destroying your stuff/stealing from you, what will they do? Disrupt your conversations. If there's no /mute command for the moderators of this server, be prepared to kick a griefer within thirty seconds of sending them to the jail, since it likely won't be long before they start spamming gibberish or a single letter to constantly try and fill up the chat screen. In the event that a spammer is jailed and there's no /mute command on this server, this negates the one and only "pro" there is to jailing people; it's hard to find a griefer being jailed amusing when they're a spammer, too.
* The possibility of escape. It would only be a matter of time until another update breaks the plugins keeping them jailed, and once broken, that would open up the possibility for them to escape. What first brought this thought up was the suggestion to have the jail be in the Space world; the moment they jump to their death to kill themself, unless there was some special spawn set up just for them, they'd respawn in the normal world, ready to continue griefing again. By /banning and /kicking someone, there's no risk of them escaping, then stealing from various chests and such.
* The mindset. "Oh, they haven't outright banned me; they're not even kicking me! They must want me to stay on the server." With that mindset, if they didn't go with the, "Welp, I guess I'll be a spammer since I can't annoy them in any other way now" route, eventually, they'd be asking to be let out, telling you that they have nothing but the best intentions, that someone else did all the griefing or that they're "really sorry," etc, etc. (Funny how they mention, "lol ya im sry now unban mee" after they constantly denied doing any griefing for 30+ minutes straight, only admitting to it after they're facing consequences for it.) It's not so much the annoyance factor of, "Yes, we heard you the first, second and twentieth time, plus all the times in-between: you want to be let out/unbanned. We get it," it's the possibility of a kind-hearted moderator thinking to themself, "Well, I guess they HAVE been in there for a long time now... Y'know, maybe they really didn't grief, despite BigBrother saying otherwise/Sure, they griefed, but maybe they really did learn their lesson by sitting in time-out for awhile; maybe I can trust 'em," then letting them go free, only for that griefer to repeat their actions.
One of my favorite quotes would have to be, "With a more definite method of victory on hand, what need is there to choose a hazardous one?" and I believe it applies strongly to this situation. Why take all these risks with /jailing someone when you have the risk-free /ban and /kick commands at your disposal?
-
Improbable and probably impossible, but funny solution: Send them to an exact copy of our world, but it's saved separately. They can grief all they want but nothing will affect the main world. Make sure not to tell them they're in another dimension.

Seems more chaotic if anything.
Whitelist seems to be the most popular option amongst regular players though.
EDIT: Until DDR can ban them, I'm pulling my own diplomacy and exiling charcaid and adrian246 to the unused sphere world. Told them to "develop the land for all of us"...so far that comes in about 50 creeper holes.
Once they are banned, reset Sphere again. It's not like we lose out on anything.

Oh god, that reminds me so much of classic. Whenever I'd ban someone, there'd be a message alerting them that their account and IP had both been banned, and that all their modifications they'd made had been undone. 9/10 times, they'd keep trying to grief anyway. On their screen, they'd continue to grief, but on everyone else's, everything was fine; their griefing was entirely clientside after being banned. A lot of times, I and other moderators/administrators would just let them stay, continuing to think they were griefing. Does sound like a neat, if difficult-to-implement idea, though.
Theep - Excellent idea! If they ever return to the main world with /warp [you know the one], which they most likely will eventually, either erase that warp or set up the smallest bedrock rectangular prism around it that you can and let all MotK members know not to use that warp. If an MotK member does so anyway, needs to get out and doesn't have a /home set, using /tphere will free them. Also, if you can, see if you can figure out where their /homes are set to, if they have one set in our world. I think I have an idea of where they might be, but I'm not entirely sure.

Thanks for your support :D
I am planning to do just that (enclosure), actually. >:D
I told them to /sethome there as well (they all have Default status in Sphere). Will test with them soon...though for them /home seems to be tied to dimension. Odd!
Also, if any non-MotKers are on do NOT talk about this.
IMPORTANT!
Whoever's tower is next to sphere portal will get covered by this! I tried to copy it all at once but the entire area is covered by region protection! So you will have to rebuild.
Also you will see an ugly-ass bedrock formation near community house...damnit DDR, we mods REALLY need region protection bypassing! And I inadvertently ruined the skyline this way :derp: but I guess we did what has to be done :).
-
I did some investigating... the sphere world was corrupted without any back-ups.
We should stick with the normal world for a while.

And let the griefers rot in Sphere World >:D
We have seemed to stick with regular old world anyways given the more distant camps.
Checked with Sphere Griefers often (after oh-so-many supply trips and internal squabbling amongst themselves, plus a bunch of mobs that made it seem like Super Hard Modo to them (stupid EASY MODO players)) and so far they have managed to build a fancy little base for themselves, along with a giant wall blocking half of the large sphere I forwarded them to from mobs and initial work on overpasses.
They seem to just play here, though, since their other server is often down.

Das sprites, as seen at night from the Hakurei tower. (http://i55.tinypic.com/14wazpg.jpg)

Yeah, figured out that the top of your tower is a great place to admire the pixel art. (Although, to be perfectly frank, they do kind of obstruct the natural landscapes.)
The MotK user going by the name of KoishiKomeiji in Minecraft (EDIT: Eternitysky) told me to mention here that the griefers might've been griefing again. I sort of spammed the chat so fast that I failed to notice who they were (as they left the server), but they've been killing each other a lot and mentioned something about their house being ruined.
TaylorGX and some other two guys with digits in their nicknames... Sorry for failing to write them down. :/
-
i think they are greifing, because 1) taylorGx kept killing each other, and 2) a little while ago, they said that their "base" was ruined and they're leaving... found it suspicous so i told Cadrin to post here for an mod since i lag to much with minecraft on....
[Edit]: Also, i asked them to stop killing each other but, they never responded and ignored us.
Progress on nightclub: ishy ... lost all of my equipment and matierals that was on me... cuz of lava -.- stupid lag...
lost diamond equipment set
lightstone
and 2-3 stacks of torches...
decided to take a break xD

Pros and cons of sending confirmed griefers to a jail!
While I am a major advocate for the jail idea, you do raise some good points. I was thinking earlier that we would need to create a "Jailed" usergroup that would mute them and disable warping/building. You have helped me realize how these ideas can be defeated.
Improbable and probably impossible, but funny solution: Send them to an exact copy of our world, but it's saved separately. They can grief all they want but nothing will affect the main world. Make sure not to tell them they're in another dimension.
Not a bad suggestion. However, I think that it might give them the impression that we condone griefing now. Not to mention that they'll think that something is up when people aren't pissed off about the destruction.
As for the whitelist.. I think we should keep this idea on the table, but not instate it as of yet. We're getting more users that haven't shown themselves to be griefers, and I like that. It's not like we can interview them before letting them in anyway..
I still maintain my position that we should be able to /ban. By now, these idiots have realized that we cannot ban them. Hell, charcaid was practically baiting us to do it yesterday.
-
Oh yeah, the duo of potential troublemakers showed up as I was preparing to leave the server after 12 hours of non-stop Minecraft no-lifing. SRG1131 and founded1992. They were the sole online people on the server after I left. Apparently friends of those chaps. They, along with TaylorGx, stayed longer than the other weird guys sent to the Sphere Realm (although Taylor stayed the longest). They started dying a lot to each other and other hazards after EP had left. Also Founded mentioned their house being destroyed and them leaving because of that before disconnecting. Taylor stayed after that and continued his regular routine of dying to random mobs.
You guys gonna love the wall of the rave night club in the village.
Last but not least, may I ask where we are allowed to mention the names and details of the faraway locations and where we are not? I'm tired of not being able to call the places in game by their names in order to protect them from griefers, there's got to be a place where you can mention them freely.
In other news, I've established a LARGE wheat farm on the coast just east of the village, past the forest and slightly to the north. It's public because it produces shedloads of wheat from one harvest (that is, if all of the field is in use, and it's not atm). Follow the path of torches. It's unfinished but fully operational regardless. Just pull a lever at the top level to instantly harvest the entire field. Bring a ho(e) with you and till the ground and replant the seeds after you harvest please. It's in dire need of seeds. The chests are not protected and free to browse (please don't take anything though), but beware of my ever-vigilant dog. He might bite.
EDIT: someone handy with redstone and with too much time on their hands please place some detector rails in the brick express and wire them to note blocks and make it play Maiden's Capriccio during the journey. Pleeeeeeease? Come on, that'd be totally awesome. And an added challenge to try to get all the notes spot-on. Keep in mind that the note blocks only support 2 full octaves, I'm not sure if that's enough.
EDIT 2:
a bunch of mobs that made it seem like Super Hard Modo to them (stupid EASY MODO players)
Hey, gotta grant them that, if Touhou had a ~300ms delay and stuttery, erratically moving bullets, even easy modo would be hard. :P

Complete agreement. But about the whitelist thing, my preferred, alternate method of handling such a thing has always been to ask for the server owner to adjust permissions so that default ranked players can't destroy/modify anything, and after a brief period of time spent getting to know the members of the server, if none of them have any objections, the new users are quickly bumped up to a rank with permissions to do normal things like building, using /sethome, etc.
It's like a whitelist, but with the added benefits of the users being able to take a tour of the server and being able to get to know some of its members, too, while the positive effects for the members = a greater chance of letting in good, honest people who may previously have been held back by the whitelist, plus the possibility of talking to potential griefers and stopping them before they ever have a chance to do anything bad to the server/its members.
Cadrin - Unfortunately, due to all sorts of different, little factors, mostly having to do with the time it takes for clients/servers to send/receive information to/from one another, it's just about impossible to get a series of note blocks to play the exact same thing in the exact same way two times in a row on multiplayer servers. Speaking from (annoyed) experience. But, hey, who knows, that could've been fixed by now. But, knowing how much time and effort Notch loves to dedicate to fixing things, I don't think so.
-
I have been watching TaylorGx, SRG1131, and founded1992 from afar. :D All three have fallen into the bedrock/sphere trap, and eventually left. I'd say this plan is effective, but it's not fair to new users or legit users who die without setting a home. But for now, I'd say it works well.
I'll continue to monitor any known or potential troublemakers. Ayayayayayayaya

iFail_v_B34STLY, Your_Account, and two others. To make matters worse they seem to know each other IRL. You are right they are loving to kill each other and their house is a mob magnet (doesn't help that they have a skele spawner in basement), and while I could send them to Sphere going by chat iFail and adrian aren't on the best of terms (calling each other traitors).
I still maintain my position that we should be able to /ban. By now, these idiots have realized that we cannot ban them. Hell, charcaid was practically baiting us to do it yesterday.
Agreed, along with all the stuff (/setwarp, region protections bypassing, powers in all dimensions and not just world, ability to set and remove dimension portals, others mentioned earlier)
It's very funny that charcaid begged to be banned for his actions, but joined in today anyway. Isn't self-punishment an option? :wat:

Oh, those are their names.
I'll be starting a few sphere world trips again to have them "develop" the place...starting in the opposite direction. Hope they don't ruin the place (and going by what's happening in adrian's camp, they probably will but not as crazily).

And the rail ride is quite stuttery, so the notes won't work properly.

Well done Strafe! (I'm assuming iFail and Your_Account will be here too?)
About the home-setting bit, I explicitly told adrian and co. to /sethome there to keep too many problems from arising.
Also tell them to bring all their essential supplies, and if they need more I guess you can pitch in as well. But after getting them on their feet in Sphere leave them be to "develop". I don't want to give them the (actual) idea of anti-griefer measures....

oh yes, today there was a new player than came... dunno how he/she goe iron but i imagine that he/she was spawned inside the bedrock trap so he/she left shortly after...

1.6 - Fixed Herobrine
1.7 - FIxed Herobrine
- removed bugs that were now commonly accepted as gameplay mechanics (water ladders, friendly night spawns)
- bed in nether, that was a pretty good fix actually, beds are a lot more cost effective than TNT.
Yep, I think that's quality bug removal.

I'll check with /spawn and see if I can set a new one.
EDIT: I can't. Default spawn is INSIDE the bedrock, which can work as a spawn jail in a way but....

The 'exiled' people are able to hack in various items and blocks. They have a stack of 64 diamond swords, Lava blocks, and lots of Obsidian & Glowstone.
Am I the only one that is bothered by this?

They use the main world for that, actually. In Sphere everyone has default status, so they cannot do this (or most other commands) there.
I'm also perplexed at all the newcomers that are going in to build in Sphere because those guys started referring. DanTheKillingMan is the newest of the lot.
IIRC they also don't have WorldEdit privileges.
-
They use the main world for that...
... is EXACTLY why I'm concerned. Fortunately, the bedrock barrier keeps them at bay.
Also, it seems like this idea is popular with them. They're bringing in all their friends.
-
next thing u know, they got like 50 griefers all in there taking up all the server's slots for players >_>

After 1 or 2 more, I will tell them to stop inviting their friends over.
I also have a feeling they will grief one another, and though they will start asking me "DO SMTHNG ABT DIS PLZ" I simply respond with "Nope, no jurisdiction over there. Discuss it yourself".
On the other hand...that will also be orin.gif and orinpopcorn.gif time for me >:D
-
link to orin.gif and orinpopcorn.gif please i still have no idea about those lol

I don't know former but here (http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/tt56/haeun0719/Orin80.gif) is latter.

Strafe - Top quality job!
They're still inviting more people who seem like griefers? It REALLY seems like it's time for a new IP, if possible...
About some of the players having stacks of diamond swords and such, does anyone have any idea how they're doing it? I've tried googling a solution for this in the past, but to no avail. If all else fails, when the time comes, we can just tell them, "We won't ban you if you just tell us the name of the program you're using to spawn items in any SMP server you want, and where we can find that program." Of course, by admitting to using it, then proving that they're not just making it up after telling us the name of the program and where to find it, I'd say that's grounds for a ban anyway.
Like the old, "Look, this server software tells me that you destroyed all these blocks, so I KNOW you griefed; just quit denying it. If you quit lying about it and tell me the truth, I'll unban you." "lol kk fine ya i did it greefd now unban me" "Are you sure? I mean, this whole time, you've been telling me "IT WSNT ME I NO GREEF!!!!!11" so are you sure you really DID grief?" "yes u idiot lol now fkin unban me alredy" "Thanks, that's all I needed to know! /kick [name]" :derp:

From what I understand builders are able to spawn items in (looks at SoD, who had said rank). But if it's an external program there is more banning reason.
I will admit giving some diamond stuff to them as well, but I don't want them to suspect they will get banned in very short order. I'm giving them the impression of "welcome back, do this for us - here, we'll give you things to start base", which their immature minds have fallen for easily. But really, it's to keep them away from our stuff and to try and give them a heart attack when they suddenly realize they got banned. ;)
It'll be a good day when that happens - at least 8 childlike players (hell, they prolly are children) will get the banhammer!
Like the old, "Look, this server software tells me that you destroyed all these blocks, so I KNOW you griefed; just quit denying it. If you quit lying about it and tell me the truth, I'll unban you."

Yo guyz, I'm retarded, so can I get a list of the available / commands, both for the regular member group and the MotK group for when I am (finally) set to it? :derp:
-
Yo guyz, I'm retarded, so can I get a list of the available / commands, both for the regular member group and the MotK group for when I am (finally) set to it? :derp:
...OK, here is a not-all-inclusive list of commands:
All:
/lwc (item protection - comes with several commands)
/sethome (sets home location for /home)
/home (instant TP back home)
/spawn (TPs to spawn - which is covered in bedrock)
/back (warps to death point - may cause another death via Gap every now and then)
MotK and above:
/warp (only one warp destination, communityhouse, exists ATM)
/bb done (allows to see block changes via BigBrother for reporting - gives a stick)
/bb log (allows to see block changes via BigBrother for reporting - gives a log)
Others can feel free to add on to it.
-
/back also teleports you to the last place you were before you warped elsewhere. ie: you can be in a cave and /home to drop off supplies. Then /back to resume the hunt. Just don't get too crazy with using this... You might end up warping somewhere you didn't intend to.
In my opinion, those with Default status shouldn't be given access to /lwc protection.
Question time: Does anyone know the group hierarchy names in the server? From what I understand they are:
-Default
-Member
-MotK
-Moderator
-OP (or admin..)
For some reason I thought Member and MotK were the same, but they're not. Does anyone know the difference between Default and Member?
-
/back will not teleport you to death btw, aka lava, small pit of water, instead it'll teleport you to a higher block on the same x/z
-
In my opinion, those with Default status shouldn't be given access to /lwc protection.
Agreed.
Question time: Does anyone know the group hierarchy names in the server? From what I understand they are:

Default only occurs to all when in Nether or Sphere. (It's also Admin IIRC, when DDR connected to test permissions hierarchies)
Also Builder (adrian246, SoD_Devil).
-
/back will not teleport you to death btw, aka lava, small pit of water, instead it'll teleport you to a higher block on the same x/z
explains why i /backed into some cave and got ninja'd by zombie when i got lava'd at the nightclub
-
...Yeah, and that worked. </sarcasm>
It really did. :< On servers where I've been a moderator, every now and then, that was a fun way of banning people: finding sufficient evidence that they griefed, talking to them about it, them denying it for an extended period of time, then finally admitting to it after mentioning, "I'll revert your usergroup from Banned to Member if you just tell the truth," then the moment they admit to it, /kick [name] [reason: Griefing. :3]
About the "item spawning" thing, I think it's pretty much final. I've asked around a bit and the word from many people with solid coding experience have all confirmed what I've been thinking: it's not been possible to spawn items with any third party client/client wrapper/program since December 21st, 2010, thanks to SERVERSIDE inventories. Most likely, a moderator got careless with the chests they had stored some spawned items in, and its contents were removed by these players. Either that, or something with Permissions is misconfigured so that they have access to /i.

Builders seem to have /item since they can spawn whatever they please. And knowing how adrian is one of them in main world....

I need to join this, now that I finally got my bank to actually let me get Minecraft. That only took a few weeks. ;_;
So, is there anything I need to get for MC so I can play, or can I just join in? I'm a complete noob at MC and mods and stuff. (almost)

You can just join in! The most you would end up doing outside the game would be getting a custom skin for your player.

Now to make your shrine. :V
(I've started on it already but it's a long distance from most other places, and it's loosely based off my own understanding of it as well as the vsh_hakurei_shrine map in TF2)
Which I need to do. The default is meh. I'll probably do it tomorrow. It's 12 AM here and I'm getting tired.
We look forward to meeting you there!
Also, PM DDR with your MC name as well so he can (eventually) add you to the MotK group.
BTW, BSOD, the defailt spawn is covered in bedrock due to anti-griefer measures. A mod or admin will have to get you out of there and into the main world, and then find a bed to use as well as type /sethome in text chat once you find a nice place to settle.
-
Ok, I'll do that.
Now, the only problem I'll have is managing lag. The game requires too much of my graphics card, that in order to prevent any lag, I have to turn off fancy and use fast instead, use Advanced OpenGL (idk why that reduces lag) and set draw distance to short. Otherwise, I get anywhere in the range of 5 to 50 frames; mostly staying near the low end unless I'm looking at a wall and not moving. I can't see the sky this way (or the sun). Though right now, I have draw distance on normal so I can at least see the time of day, even though the lag is quite dramatic. My graphics card sucks. ;_;
EDIT: Ya edited without me knowing when I posted. \o/ But what if I like the bedrock? It's gotta be toasty down there. :getdown: (jk)

Try using Optimine + Optifog. It really boosted framerates on my laptop (which has a shitty Intel GPU) from 10-20 to about 30-50 on Fast and Short, with Advanced OpenGL on. Still get lag spikes during mob fights however.
As for "time of day" I recommend having a watch on you. I typically give one (plus the most basic of tools and armour) to newcomers.
Actually, if you can join in now I can assist with that!
...I edited before your post though XD
As for that bedrock, well, it's a GIANT enclosure. The only way out's with WorldEdit or TP, and only mods and admins have the former.

As I said before, it's late, and I'm going to be going to bed shortly. Plus, we have someone coming out to our house at 8 in the morning, so I really need to sleep. I'll have to talk with you tomorrow sometime about this, ok? (my sister is probably going to kill my internet though. she's way too fond of youtube viewing)
I'm looking forward to this. Also, I think I'll leave you this (http://wins.failblog.org/2011/07/07/epic-win-photos-awesome-minecraft-station-win/) for those of you who haven't seen it yet. Freakin' amazing. (though you guys have made some awesome stuff too)

And then you can start working on the other camp! Much larger, but not as many newcomers or residents.
EDIT: On the topic of reducng griefers, I suddenly had a pointless idea about putting them in a spawn that is reminiscent of the Black Mesa Hazard Course (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhricSYjcYU&feature=related). :V
Or hell, let's make a hardcore replica of this and the Black Mesa lab (well the first part of it).

i think so, because i remember when he joined, it was when i made the donation shrine at the V. and he got teleported over with no idea whats happening so he just started from there
-
Well, looks like Hakurei Shrine (or my sleepy interpretation of it) was a bigger success than expected! (It almost became Moriya and Cirno Shrines, but former has the long-ass basement to deal with and latter...just why?)
After connecting it by subway (another 800-block-long ride from the recently connected village, and probably similar from the central area), it's time for Moriya...except that the basement is Black Mesa. :getdown:

As far as texture packs go, I'd like to recommend Assistcraft. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/372683-16x17assistcraftupdated-7-4-1200-am-cdt/) As far as mods go, I'd like to recommend zombe's modpack! (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/91055-v173-zombes-modpack-26-mods-v429-upd-8jul/)

Agh, self-advertising ~ But AssistCraft is useful, I agree.
However I prefer the stock unmodded experience first, since that's what the developers intended you to get. It may not be the best graphical, gameplay-enhancing, or cool set, but it is the original intent, which lets you get a feel of how the game normally goes before employing mods to adjust said feel to your preferences.
-
I wouldn't be self-advertising if I didn't have absolute confidence in my pack's- and my own- abilities, or if I thought there was a better pack out there which did all the same things as that one of mine, plus more! :3
-
Already knew about your confidence in your pack, hence my recommendation right afterwards.
-
Oh, thanks for your kind words!
I only just recently found out where that one rail system is that leads to that one village with all the sprite art and the Hakurei tower. ;-;
-
I only just recently found out where that one rail system is that leads to that one village with all the sprite art and the Hakurei tower. ;-;
Likewise, I've only just a while ago found out where that single subway line is that leads to that wasteland that looks like it was griefed in the past... You know, for newbies to the server, like me and... uh... I don't know, HakureiSM feels pretty clueless about that area as well, guess that counts. For newbies like me this feels like no man's land. People populate and develop the village which is a fair distance away from the ruins. It did not help that EP took me on a superfast sightseeing tour during which I'd lose my bearings after each teleport.
And they look phenomenal. I think only 4 people live there (which is still more than the population of the village, mind you). But what I saw took my breath away. Some ruined courtyards, among them a house of netherrack which looks like a spaceship moored in a rectangular dock below, the Void Hole, the Huge Crater left after a massive TNT explosion (the best part is, trees grow way down there; it looks amazing.), the ruined Kiershar-style mob grinder in the sky over the Netherland... And it felt even more eerie at night because for some reason, there was no hostile mobs on the surface as I walked through the frozen wastes. So many abandoned houses. Unprotected chests filled with rubbish and some forsaken personal belongings. I did not dare venture further, deeper down to the catacombs under each and every single one of the houses, although there's where the real treasure was hidden no doubt. It is just me who is keeping the most valuable redstone machines outside for everyone to use and advertises them just so that people would come and pay a visit more often. From what I heard, PX is having the same, only bigger, faster, stronger, better, and many more that I don't have. Plus traps. Oh, so many traps, no doubt.
There is something mighty exciting about that kind of exploration, you know? Underground exploration got boring, but this is really neat. These ruins actually have some back story to them. What story, well, that is yet to be found by me. No wonder Notch wants to implement ruins and settlements in 1.8 now.
Sometimes I wonder, why don't we live there anymore? It feels like everyone is so far away from other people. And as far as I can comprehend, the village is actually the least populated place on the server. The loneliness is getting to me at times.
-
Well, now I'm not a complete noob. I've been reading up on MC wiki and playing around in single player for a little bit. I've got a good idea what I'm doing now. I can do the basics pretty much. Build a bed, furnace, make ingots, and, of course, get blown up repeatedly by creepers. (I found a dungeon via a hole in the ground leading far to lava, which had infinite creepers apparently. At least I didn't die due to food) I've only died once, and that was due to ninja spider by my house.
-
Likewise
This, very much.
That area got me completely baffled as well, and I am still lost, geographically.
All I know proper is (etc), since I was TPd there within 30 seconds after I spawned. I live there, and I don't know where that is.
I want to get to know that world better. My short sight-seeing experiment with Cadrin and later Dr. Strafe was pretty incredible.
-
So, in the time it took PX to make all four of those sprites, I made 3/4 of Shinki, found out I couldn't get the hair to work, and then did this. I guess I should have made the keystones a little larger, but it looked right at the time.

Ok.
Adrian still has /home set to the main world. He admits that he uses /item to get supplies. I imagine he can do this because he's in the Builder group.
I also wanted to note that the portal to Sphere is broken, so teleporation is the only way to transport between worlds.
Edit - DantheKillingMan escaped somehow... I cannot banish him again..
I know how to transport him back now.. Hopefully he didn't set a home in main..

I am already aware of the latter, and do not mind as much (unless builders have WE powers), but will insist him to /sethome in sphere. And make him test it.

I don't really see the point in being secretive about the other community areas. Most of the present MoTK players already know of their existence. Besides, I don't think anyone on this forum would sabotage anything there.
It just seems unnecessary now...
Edit: Dan and adrian both came back on, so I sent Dan back to sphere... He managed to teleport out again.. *sigh*

It wouldn't be a problem if this thread was MotK members-only but guests can see this as well, and we can't track down who they are (they may be future griefers on the server, for all I care).
But I can agree that soon we should be able to take off the cover. It's getting increasingly hard to contain.
EDIT!
I found out that Default members CAN TP to community house via warps. Solution (since I can't delete or set warps yet) - cover the warp in bedrock all the way.
MotK members and fellow players, do NOT use /warp communityhouse!

We have a crippling Permissions issue - why is it that Bulders can bypass region protection but NOT Mods? ???
Tested with adrian in spawn jail.
-
Because Builders are essentially Admins
-
Because Builders are essentially Admins
In that case, we can also call adrian out for admin power abuse.
We'll really need to pressure DDR to expand mod powers (since we're on a lot more often), move a few to the MotK group (Rukin, HakureiSM, Cadrin, rizock, truros / Molten, AgentOfTheBSoD, others maybe), get rid of the builder group (and demote its members to regulars - they have more powers than we mods do in a sense!), ban all the sphere residents (I have a list), and reset Sphere world. Very soon - ASAP or even sooner!
And once all of us are somewhat settled, move the IP if possible and only let those of us in MotK know about this via batch PM.
...but going by recent stagnation, this isn't looking like it'll get fixed anytime soon. No direct approach to a solution to this makes this a hell of a lot harder than it should be. Getting exhausted as a result, and a bit angry.
On another note, the new spawn jail is quite effective at keeping new players and would-be-griefers out! Now if I could only bypass region protections so that I can get the tower moved....
...which I did thanks to a little WorldEditing goodness and having at least 1 block not region-protected in said base.

I have excellent news: The UFO is now open to users with [MoTK] status!! Building a fort? Making a sprite? Run out of glass? Feel free to take anything from the chests that you would find useful.
I will be using the UFO as a collection point for various building materials in the game. The outer ring of chests will hold sorted blocks. The inner ring of chests will hold anything else of interest, or used as "overflow" chests if you need to open up inventory space.
Please note that there will not be any caches of iron, gold, diamond, or obsidian. You're on your own on finding these materials.
Unfortunately, with the recent changes to the Community House, getting to the UFO has gotten more difficult. That issue will get solved soon.(hopefully) Also, since people of [Member] status cannot access any chests, [MoTK] users can be the "middle-man" for them. This should only be for users that will become [MoTK] users once DDR approves them.
I hope this helps!!

... This may be a bit drastic, and this is just hypothetically speaking, but, what about the possibility of moving to a new server? Can anyone think of a solid, detailed list of the pros and cons? I'm about to collapse in bed, so I'm not up to that whole "thinking" thing right now.

Your first mission is to make the Mokou Church in village. :D

Um, which one should I get? I know there's texture packs out there, but I prefer original textures. Does the HD one at the top use those, or is that the one I should be using? Can't tell when there's multiple ones on that page. >_<

Top one. It allows HD textures but those come separately.

Alright, thanks! I'll try it and see what happens. I'll let you know.
EDIT: :o It's, it's, just, WONDERFUL! Great fps so far. (the only thing I have to note is the distorted Mojang logo upon startup. It's like it's melting or something)
I'll have to tinker with the settings for a while cause it's what I do.

Strafe and I are considering warping the community house somewhere else. The best part is, the /warp communityhouse remains the same so they'll be stuck in old land >:D.
We are considering a place between the village and the fortress, since most of us seem to be there. As for the remaining house, we aren't going to jump into action yet, since we don't want to surprise regular players.
Either way, in the new one you'll have to LWC your chests again Eraiya. Apparently WE is a great way to look into protected chests until we get proper regions bypasses. But WE will not copy over LWC permissions, just chest contents.

most of us

too many :Vs
You are the obvious outlier here, of course.

I'm still torn on this decision. We shouldn't have to resort to such drastic measures to thwart these RP morons. Access to /ban would clear this up...
DDR, please come out of hiding and help us address this serious issue.

I am considering starting a new whitelisted server for MotK members only. It's just a question if you guys are willing to start from scratch :/

Strafe and I did briefly discuss this idea earlier today, and we're increasingly considering it. I highly approve of this idea, personally, despite the restarts, provided that:
- Everyone gets the powers of MotK group
- The server remains 90% Vanilla (same plugins as what this current servers use - giants and Multiverse are all we need for gameplay enhancements IMO)
- 4 Mods (from regular playerbase) and 1-2 admins (from the mod pool) are chosen by community again to refresh the staff list. By hosting the server, you should have (or configured it to let you have) Op powers, which are above admins.
- Same or better server specs and uptime (24-7, 3GB RAM, 50 players limit)
- Put a password on the server as well and have the IP broadcast only via PMs. Don't even put it on public, ignore the server stats banner, and forget about livefeeds (those have same IP but different port).
- Giants drop 2-3 diamond rather than 1 to increase the incentive
If DDR doesn't respond to this within the end of the week AND does not change permissions for us mods to allow bans and whatnot (or if something peculiar occurs), I think we are OK to proceed with this.
-
- Same or better server specs and uptime (24-7, 3GB RAM, 50 players limit)
Uh...I can't afford the 3 GB setup. Nevermind then :|
-
Uh...I can't afford the 3 GB setup. Nevermind then :|
...well, the maximum you can afford is fine then (even 1GB did well, though Nether lagged a lot) :3
I think the 3GB RAM upgrade was due to Multiverse, though, and we're already busy enough in main world, so....
EDIT: About time. DDR made a quick visit to the server, but very brief and to Sphere. No idea why but it seems he's about to do something about this.
-
1 GB is what I was looking at.
Anyway if I wind up being the admin, do note that I'm going to insist on things being done legit. I'm not going to allow flying or handing out free blocks (except maybe brick because I like brick and it's impossible to gather in any large quantity :V )
I don't even intend to have giants at all, I think having an unlimited source of diamonds is stupid.
I would have /sethome and /spawn (with the community house there) but no /back. No /warp, I'd rather see people come up with interesting infrastructure projects like bridges and subways and stuff for getting around.

AH. Well, I'd at least let mods and admins have those powers, especially for massive projects (looks at subway system for personal example - it would take 5000x longer if all the work was manual) and specific situations.
Of course, we are obliged to use our powers for the community and not personal projects *looks at PX's contraptions*. And also, we should try to not give away items.
I don't even intend to have giants at all, I think having an unlimited source of diamonds is stupid.
I'm cool with that. Or just have them drop something less valuable. Or have them...drop bricks. :V

You've seen the massive subway project we've done, right? In that case expect more of those.

We as in you and WE, right? :V
Though I do love that subway.

No. That mega-rail was a joint collab. Strafe and I did the WE and tracks, while EternitySky and Rukin dug the leading tunnels from which WE could then be used to clear the rest.
And it seems this idea is picking up ground. We need to put up a feature list we want to see. And even though you may be insistent on 99% vanilla, Stuffman, I think 90-94% is a good value since that's what we're used to (4% giants, 4% Mutliverse, 2% commands we can use)
-
I want to try this game. Where do I start ?
-
If you guys really want giants running around terrorizing shit I'd be okay with it, they just won't be dropping anything as ludicrous as diamond blocks.
Multiverse might not be feasible without a higher-end server. I'd be willing to run tests though.
-
I want to try this game. Where do I start ?
Buy game, join our server, and a mod should help you out and find you a spot to get ready!
I'd highly recommend a bit of experience in single-player though, just so you get the basics of MC survival.
If you guys really want giants running around terrorizing shit I'd be okay with it, they just won't be dropping anything as ludicrous as diamond blocks.
That's why I suggested that giants drop many brick blocks. :D
And the current ones drop single diamonds, since blocks were quickly proving to be too good of a reward when giants were first around.
Multiverse might not be feasible without a higher-end server. I'd be willing to run tests though.
We may not even need it yet since we'd all be starting fresh and would thus have to start with developing main world first.
Also, this is a perfect way to get a new all-inclusive communal town going as we seemed to want several weeks ago before all this mess began.
I think others, such as Strafe (going by MC chat implications), expressed interest in footing the bill for the full server and hosting as well. Now as for who will finally do that, we'll see and decide (likely on what the server will contain).
-

Buy it here (http://www.minecraft.net/), download it and either play SP for a bit and then join us on the server or jump right into the server, but the latter will probably be hella confusing.

If Strafe is interested in starting the server I'd have no problem with playing on his as long as you guys don't go crazy with handing out free stuff or handing out mod powers to people that will screw around with them. Maybe it'd be better that way, as I have little knowledge of Minecraft modding, I just want to start playing again but I think DDR's server is unsalvageable.

Yeah, we're not like that. Don't expect stacked diamond crap in public chests, for one. :3
I am beginning to agree on the last point.
If we do make a new server, I have a rather comprehensive playerlist (most of whom are cross-linked with MotK and MC) that I can PM to the Op to add to the whitelist.

I'm a bit late due to my sleeping schedule, but if anyone here did host a server, could we at least expect to see PTM, BB, LWC, WE and WG used? To be honest, vanilla servers are a dime a dozen, so I'm not that fond of the idea of playing on one when there are literally thousands upon thousands more out there that are also available, not to mention hundreds with mods and plugins designed to make the game more entertaining. However, since I'm probably the minority here, I recognize that I'll just have to deal with it if I'd like to continue playing with and helping you guys.
Master Bigode - Let me know if you haven't bought the game yet. I have a spare, paid account I'm fine with letting you use for as long as you'd like.

Ah. Those plugins are very important IMO, so I'd definitely keep them in.
I guess you're trying to see for a gimmick this server will have. Hm...that's tough, since most of us have gotten accustomed to 90% Vanilla by now.
-
I geso, but not to any extreme degree. To me, the biggest factors that determine how much fun you can get out of it are:
* Security. Is the owner willing to take the fifteen to thirty minutes to download, install and configure a few plugins to keep griefing to an absolute, bare minimum? Is the owner willing to trust his/her moderators/administrators with enough commands like /kick and /ban that they can act on the owner's behalf in protecting the server while he's/she's not around?
* Playerbase. Will I be playing with a bunch of strangers or people I've known for months? Whether strangers or not, what are they like? Easy to get along with, or do you really have to put some effort into it? What if everyone on the server is a lovely person, but whenever you log on, you're always the only one there? They can be some of the best people in the world to you, but that doesn't mean much if they're never there!
* Server configuration. Does the server owner prefer an absolutely vanilla experience, more plugins than he/she can hold with both hands or somewhere in-between? Does the owner have allowflying set to true or false in the server's config.txt? How does the owner feel about PvP? Will the server be able to handle ten people online, some in the main world while others are exploring the Nether without so much as a hint of lag?
* Terrain. Much like vanilla servers, open, grassy areas with trees, lakes and caves are unbelievably common. When I play, I really like to be immersed in the experience, and exploring unnatural landscapes that you'd almost certainly never see- deserts, oceans and tundras that stretch on for tens of thousands of blocks in every direction, for example- without the use of a plugin like the Phoenix Terrain Mod is a huge draw for me.
* Clientside mods. How comfortable is the owner of the server with allowing users the ability to fly and other such things which aren't normally possible without downloading and installing mods like zombe's modpack? For every server where the owner's fine with people flying on his/her server, there's at least nine that aren't, so again, this is a very big "pro" to me in a list of pros and cons. Freedom of movement is a very wonderful thing!
Because of what I look for in a server, vanilla servers have never really held any meaningful reasons for me to join up, the only exception to that being friends wanting me to come along to lend a hand, or wanting to come along of my own volition for the same reason. It's just knowing, "Well, yeah, I could play on this vanilla server, but... Why, when there are several hundreds of other servers out there that would appeal much more strongly to me?"

I'm perfectly fine with this idea if it ever comes down to this. I've started over from scratch many times, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
As far as pricing goes, I'd be more than willing to help pay for the server.
As far as addons are concerned, we can keep things as vanilla as you want them to be. With a controlled usergroup, we would probably not have any need for BB, or LWC. Although, the peace of mind that those provide is worth the time to set up. Having WorldEdit is purely optional.. (goodbye compass :( )
Giants have lost their appeal to me. They tend to pop up and fry you when you least want them to. That, and it gets old having to explain their existence to EVERY player that freaks out when they see one. Totally agree on the "unlimited diamond" thoughts.
I also agree with Stuffman's thoughts on "handing out free stuff". I'm perfectly fine helping newbies get started with minimal risk, but I don't want to be their main supplier. Yes, I know about the hypocrisy of the current UFO. I've had conflicting thoughts about this, because having such a large supply of stuff readily available really hurts the "sense of accomplishment" of finding all the supplies yourself. *sigh* Tragedy of Commons, indeed...
Stuffman, feel free to PM me if you want to get the ball rolling on this.
-
Alright Strafe, I'm gonna start doing some research on this and we'll talk about how much you'd be willing to contribute.
I like the aesthetics of phoenix mod worlds but the issue I have with them is that there's no flat space for actually building stuff! So if we had a good enough server my idea would be to have one normal world and one phoenix world.
Eraiya, it sounds like you've been on a lot of servers, can you recommend any services besides Servercraft? Apparently they have a pretty bad track record. (Also I'm probably gonna need your help getting everything working properly)

It'd be nice to at least have the option. As well as /item for mods/admins (namely for stuff that is hard to craft or make such as brick and rail).
As for WorldEdit, it did make the subway significantly easier to dig out and is handy for adjusting terrain (Hakurei Shrine is on WE-modded mountains) but I'm willing to part with it. I don't mind digging it all out manually, but I do mind having to craft all that rail...takes far too much iron normally.

Looking forward to developments from either of you on this!

Oh, but that's the beauty of it- since you get to configure each and every aspect of the terrain generation, if you want there to be large, open spaces: you've got it! It's just a matter of messing around with all the different variables to see what you enjoy most! Luckily for you, to help save you a great deal of thyme, I have one fantastic setup that I think you'll like, right here!

When given this, I was told, "Everything else is just stock, enjoy." and I have every reason to trust this person. The landscape was a large, flat desert with towering plateaus dotting the landscape; those were the only areas which weren't flat, and they were marvelous. Just because of the terrain itself, it was, hands-down, the server I've had the most fun on by far. I didn't know any of the players, there was no security from things like BB and it was a "hardcore survival/pvp" server; all of those things, I dislike. But the terrain was so incredible to me, I actually loved the server, despite disliking all those other aspects of it!

According to many reliable sources, BroHoster used to be good, up until a couple of weeks ago when they essentially cleaned house, replacing a great deal of employees that were responsible for making BroHoster as great as they were, PR-wise. In their place, one friend recommended these guys, Host Ladder, (http://www.hostladder.com/) as an even better alternative. Their prices are $30.00 a month compared to BroHoster's $24.00 a month, though, for a server with 1 gb of ram, so if you don't think customer service will be an issue, BroHoster might be the way to go, just for their prices!
Edit: But since that's recommended for twenty players, and the usual maximum seems to hover around eight players on the current MotK server- and that's including the griefers being logged on!- a server that's recommended for ten people being logged on simultaneously would probably be a much better choice, money-wise. $12.00 monthly from BroHoster, $20.00 monthly from Host Ladder.
-
I've occasionally seen 10-12 players with griefers included. And if by chance this community (which is, what, 25-35 accounts?) tries a mass event the playerlimit may be a hindrance....
How about 20-25 players maximum for now?
-
I have no problem paying for a server for 50 players. We might not ever have THAT many people online at the same time, but it wouldn't hurt to have the extra slots available.
-
Plus, in another server where mods have actual powers, enforcing anti-griefing measures should be a lot easier, so we could filter the public better
I'd love a world with more people on, our current is way too vast for 5-10 people to be playing with it :(
-

If we have a whitelist we won't need to filter the public as much! Though spawn jails are already effective to dissuade most casual griefers.

Nah, we're just spread too far out.
if there was a new world, we'd prolly build closer and remake the village with everyone (or most everyone) living in that.
-
I'm messing around with a test server on my own PC, learning how the plugins work, etc.
Alright so right now the plugin list looks like:
- Essentials
- LWC
- BB
- dynmap
- WorldEdit (for admins to fix things)
I'll see about getting a world made with PTM once their site is back up (apparently there'll be a new release soon)
Any other requests for plugins to look at? Also do I need some kind of plugin to make the Nether work properly, I've heard Notch's doesn't.
-
i'd also suggest making the village a safe haven so no monsters spawn in it....
before i mde the floating house in old spawn, my ccobble house kept getting creeper'd when i'm not there ;[
-
On second thought, Theep's probably right about paying a bit more for 20 recommended players instead of 10, and it's an unbelievably kind thing of Strafe to be willing to pay for this.
Kagami raises an interesting point! Building closer together could definitely help provide a stronger sense of unity/community. I never thought I'd suggest this plugin since I've always been against it, but in this case:
how about BorderGuard? (http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-borderguard-v4-10-1-most-efficient-map-limiter-953.3078/)
Edit: No need to get any plugins to make the Nether work anymore. After over two hundred days, Notch finally fixed it!
-
So we would actually have a village/city/whathaveyou, as opposed to everyone being everywhere? Cool.

BorderGuard seems FAR too extreme for what we are suggesting here. As long as we can build close to each other and connect in that manner we should be OK without it.

Why not join in on the Kagami-... -ing! :3
I geso, but you can always configure the border to be larger and larger if it's too small the first time or two!
Ye-Yeah, you know! He.. He did that one time with the Nether! A-And... Um... That other time, when he-! No, wait, that was a lie.
...
Um...
Hmm.
He fixed about one hundred that one time in a single update!
... Oh, then we all realized he made over one hundred more bugs within forty eight hours. ;_;

I probably will put in the BorderGuard, but it'll be a plenty huge area, trust me. I just don't want people to go off exploring way way off, overgrowing the map and causing the dynmap to get screwed up like it did on DDR's server. It'll be a nice big square area with several biomes.
it's an unbelievably kind thing of Strafe to be willing to pay for this.

... Goddamn.
I forgot to mention, but I recently saw this mod (http://www.minecraftdl.com/modcraft-beta-1-7/) used in a stream. It looked nothing short of amazing. It's a mod made specifically to give you lists of plugins you can install with descriptions of what they do, and when you find one you like, it automatically downloads AND installs them with the click of one or two buttons. It even lets you know if it managed to download and install all the right files and folders to the right areas once it's done!
-

First, I think the livefeed broke down amid quirks with it and 1.7.
Also, I'd like a good figure for the size of this area (I think 65536 x 65536 blocks is enough, and plus 65536 is neat from a coding perspective for being the number of terms a 16-bit variable has, while 65536 squared is the same for 32-bit vars)

Before it goes up, remind me to send you a playerlist if we're still doing the whitelist thing.

Also, I'd like a good figure for the size of this area (I think 65536 x 65536 blocks is enough.)
If it was that big, trust me, you wouldn't need BorderGuard in the first place! I once played on a server where I started somewhere between nine thousand and ten thousand blocks from spawn after teleporting to a friend. On request, I flew to spawn. With ten times movement speed and flying set to allowed, so I didn't have to worry about jumping from treetop to treetop, including time spent sitting around waiting for chunks to load, it took over thirty minutes to get to spawn.
Just nine thousand blocks for someone walking at normal movement speed- and having to traverse things like lakes, climb up hills and just generally not walk in a perfectly straight line- that'd take well over five hours, so I think even a five thousand block limit is seriously high! This might sound silly, but on the one and only server I ever played on with this plugin, a radius of two hundred and fifty blocks in all directions from spawn was enough to reasonably accommodate myself and about ten other players!

I'll have to get back to you on that, I'm not sure how big 65536 blocks is.

I'll have to get back to you on that, I'm not sure how big 65536 blocks is.
(cut by Eraiyna)
Lemme see how big 1000 is.
Still decently large. We may be able to fit about 15-25 players there.
Speaking of player lists, I have compiled a list of players (sorted by MC names) that can be used as the whitelist. Here's who I have down so far.
MODS:
theep
Dr_Strafe
Jquan
Jes7137
MOTK (on initial list I gave DDR):
KoishiKomeiji
Night4ce
Eraiya
SSkye
TouhouTorpedo
pineyappled
ilikemudkipzzz <-- yeah this is a joke, don't count on it
Cyrotex
Jaimas (who will prolly take on op role)
tomhoffman (IIRC it's tied to Artemis, but it seems to indicate otherwise too)
AzureLazuline
Iron_Mudkip
goldblade0
ryudo6850
Shady_Ghost
DDRMANIAC007 (just as a regular player, I guess)
iFayden
axman36
TO-BE-IN MOTK:
Rukin
HakureiSM
Cadrin
truros
rizock
AgentOfTheBSoD
seamoeba
Dinosaur521
dustyjo
<whatever account Hanzo K. may use due to expression of interest>
<whatever account Master Bigode will use due to interest>
UNKNOWN (I can't tie them to a specific MotK account ATM)
Eraiyna (no ties to MotK, as Eraiya indicated)
Fanciful_Ghost (used by multiple players as a spare)
Ryath
<Night4ce's brother>
xxColdFusionxx
If I don't have any of you down at all, put you in the wrong area, or you have a correction to this, PM me and I will update this post as necessary. This is especially true for the Unknown group.
Also, custom deaths (eg. "pull a Jquan") should be back in for the laughs but come up much less frequently. And maybe add a few new ones (Shady wanted one in particular, but his would have to be death by starvation, which needs hardcore mode).

I'm not really a fan of bordercraft, considering you're eliminating the exploring aspect to a certain degree, and that's 1/3rd of the game. Not to mention it's annoying to just randomly walk into an invisible border that's kicking you back in.
1000 means that Rukinville does not exist, since it's at 1400 away from spawn. Also, 250 seems reasonable, but that's if you're promoting a small town instead of giant structures (For comparison, the giant grinder frame I made was 149x149.) If you're going to have a big border, might as well not have a border at all.

As a fan of the exploration bit, I also disagree with BorderCraft implementation.
250 x 250 would be about 1/4 of the size of EPFort plus the surrounding walls further out (that are also not finished yet). And even then at 1000 blocks EPFort won't be in boundaries (it's about 400X, 1150Z away from spawn - you do the math).
-
Oh, Eraiyna has no relation to MotK; she's just someone I've known for a long time. Fanciful_Ghost isn't one, particular person, but instead a spare account of mine; I give the name and password away to people from time to time when they'd like to play, but can't afford the game or aren't sure if they want to spend money on it or not. I'd say at least five different people, if not more, have logged into this server with that account!
-
For reference, here is a map from east to west with a 1000-radius border.
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/9580/testmap.png
A 2000 radius would provide a VERY reasonable play area.

I can approve a 4000 x 4000 play area. Large and allows for some exploration.

We might not need BorderCraft at all. Perhaps we can suggest that people not wander too far. I, myself, like to scout out a fair amount of space for my projects, but I try to keep them close to "community" areas.
I established a base roughly 3500 blocks from the spawn, and it took a little while to get there. As long as people don't venture beyond 2500 blocks from the spawn, the map size shouldn't be too bad.
By the way, EP's list is based upon the current hierarchy on DDR's server.

Hey Seamoeba! I've added you to the playerlist.
We're contemplating abandoning this server for good and starting fresh due to recent troubles, though, so I wouldn't build anything too fancy.

Ah, well I might just build a house, the creepers are watching meeeeeee...

Could we set a /warp up to the community house that isn't covered by bedrock?

We can't.
(1) Only DDR can /setwarp
(2) Griefers in sphere can use ANY warp to get out of their punishment zone
-
ITT we strongly encourage tight urbanization as a means to preserve the envinronment(also knows as "server").
Well the massiveasfuck tower I was going to build and plan on building on the new server if/when it's up was 30 blocks wide at the base.
-
time to plan a new and better nightclub?

I'm really late posting this, but DDR was just online and viewing this thread, then left without a word... I remember that happening yesterday, too...
...
Ah well...
-
Ah, well I might just build a house, the creepers are watching meeeeeee...
Also, watch out for NINJA SPIDERS! (aka, regular spiders that stay above your door out of sight, then pounce when you leave)
This new server sounds good. Everything will be reset (which means I'll be able to navigate as you guys go along) >.<
EDIT: Also, to note on those performance patches, I'm getting lots of transparent spots, where I can see through, say, the ground.
Like this. (http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll181/shinypachirisu/MCGlitch.png)

I do feel bad for DDR and I appreciate him hosting the server for us, I had fun with it for a while.
But the floodgates were opened, griefers tore everything apart, and he didn't take fast or drastic enough action to correct it, so now the server is in a state of chaos. We'd rather just start fresh with a thorough security setup.

As do I. I've had my ups and downs on the server... but overall, I can say that I enjoyed my time there.
In my opinion, the problem was in his abandonment of the server once the Mods were instated. That would have been tolerable, if the Mods could have maintained the security and integrity of the server. It just seems like his priorities shifted in favor of the group that causes us problems..
Hopefully this new beginning will give us the stability we've been wanting for the past few weeks. That said, I'm going on one last sight-seeing tour.

i wanna join ! in the sight seeing... even tho itsn ot gunna be much

So new server?
If you're using phoenix; stationaryWater = stationaryLava. Invert everything, i.e. ores spawn 64-128 and lava spawns 90-128. Then set the fractures high.
DO IT. Since you are making a "normal word" alongside anyway.
Yeah, go ahead and build a close town, just don't make it totally flat. I still want to build secret conspiracy mountain homes and stuff.

Hi Dino!

I have to say, I liked this server a lot while it remained pretty limited to just MotK players. We didn't so much need the events - the collaborative building experience was enough. Also, there were griefers, but it was an inadvertent side effect of opening the server up to others.

This is where I feel we are better off leaving. If we mods had /ban, proper regions permissions, and whatnot, we could've solved this issue six days ago and not even have to deal with these twats, not even a server move. Instead we see DDR going to sphere for 20 seconds to check on what the griefers have been doing there, even though it is clear that they are worthy of getting banned.
As for sight-seeing, I may consider making a collection of screenshots of various structures and put them in an album before we make the official leave. Though I first have to install Mint on my desktop.
-
I do feel bad for DDR too, i just found this server on doujinstyle and i joined because the doujinstyle pne was all weird and apparently not "ready" yet....
so i joined this, it was VERY very vanilla that time without chest protections and stuff... and it just grew and here i am playing till now....
it was a very fun server, even tho i was like lagging 99% of the time before we upgraded. i enjoyed it but now.. after the so called "RP"ers came it totally ruined the experience.
-
Thanks for the great time you gave us, DDR. It was very fun while it lasted. That said, you really could have done quite a few things differently.
Shouldn't plans for the new server go in a different thread?
Also, you'd better link us to the screenshots when you're done, EP.

I'm not the only one who will be giving screenies. I will give the EP Megatower and Hakurei, at least.
Several of us are on server now, burning our structures as a ceremonial mark. Don't worry, we're only burning OUR structures (and maybe the subway).
Amongst them include the UFO, a ~150 x 150 x 70 stack of logs, EP Megatower, the weirdest tree in the world, and Hakurei Shrine, with EPFort, Mokou Pyromancy, and Kaguya Lunarian in consideration.

Same here, except for a bit longer. As for that UFO, well, good thing it left before more trouble arose. Can't say the same about the structures on terra firma, however.

Possibly within the week.... It's all up to Stuffman and how he wishes to proceed. I imagine that once it starts up, we'll need to move the discussion to a new thread. This thread will be hitting 1000 soon.
I believe that we'll need to work on the community center first, so all of us can survive the first night easier. Let's make it a little more interesting than a stone box, ya? I'd also believe that any Nether Portal established there should be fairly deep underground. This will keep the risk of ghasts coming through, as well as save us from the God-awful portal sound effects.
I'm thinking a community center that's a good mix of the Comhouse, EP Fort, and Rukinville. But this discussion can come later.
Like I said, I'm going to take a break from Minecraft until the new server is up. See ya then!
-

Never seen that occur, actually.
as well as save us from the God-awful portal sound effects.
But all you need is pour some water into the portal to shut it down if it's bothering you.
Anyway, I'm taking a sightseeing tour across the ruins. I just want to see it all before I leave, you know. I've recently found NIght4ce's house. Quite ironically for Mokou, it was underwater. Then there were these towers of lava or something. I haven't been there yet but I assume that's what EP did to his megatower.
Also, random secret bases and unfinished, abandoned houses. Some of them with craploads of stuff in their unprotected chests. Man, exploring is fun.

Makes sense. We should also officially open this server with a specific time so that we can jointly build base.

I was thinking along the same lines too - a large central area with pre-set radius (EPFort) will act as a community house and centre of town, from which all work will spread from (Rukinville). We can work on luxuries later - we just need a place up and running first! ^^
It will probably be more along the lines of 24 x 24 or so, however, seeing how long 50 x 50 took for just three floors.
As for the Nether portals, that's a great idea.
I won't be checking the existing server as often, but will not mind testing the new server a bit (though we shouldn't develop the new place yet) if Stuffman needs a few. Good luck, and see you around!

You REALLY should change your skin to Kaguya at this rate.
EDIT on new server:
Once it is settled and an IP is set, what should be done is that:
- First, Stuffman can use my playerlist post to form a whitelist of MC players.
- Afterwards, he then PMs all of us with server IP if it can be connected to MotK account (or PMs the IP to someone else who can easily tie the MC and MotK accounts; the latter will then send the PM). If not then we will also have to tell certain people on the other server to move there (DON'T use standard chat for that - use /tell <player> <message>).
Second, what about staffer positions? It certainly wouldn't hurt to have admins and mods on this server as well, as I hinted earlier.

Let's bring it to a vote. I delete the old world, change the IP, and this time only MoTK gets the IP. I guess I've learned from my mistake here. Sorry guys. Give this server another chance.

Your request has been received
We have received your request and will get back to you with further details shortly. You can login to the support center or check your mailbox for further updates.
General Information
Ticket ID #NQA-554-37766

Email xxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com
Subject: Need an IP change
Our server has become too well know to griefers. We need an IP adress change. Can you do this ASAP and send me the new IP so that I can restrict who gets the new one?
-
As for why I haven't been on, I've been incredibly busy up to now.
Once the IP changes, we'll start completely fresh with a new thread.
-
We don't really need a new IP, what we need is a whitelist (and enough admins to maintain it).
A world wipe is indeed in order, though.
-
Eh, it will still lag, be huge, I dunno.
-
Servercraft does seem to suck. Maybe we should move just to get a different provider.
-
Stuff - Did you see all the BroHoster/Host Ladder information I posted earlier? One of those might be a better alternative!
DDR - Is there any way any of us can help with whatever's been making you busy to help lighten the burden? Also, if you do start on a new map- which I'd be fine with, personally- how would you feel about using the Phoenix Terrain Mod (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/313991-173-phoenixterrainmod-yes-its-back/) to generate some amazing landscapes, possibly in conjunction with Multiverse (http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/edit-misc-tp-fun-multiverse-v1-7-2-world-management-953.3707/) to allow different worlds for different landscape themes?
-
Yeah, I sent a PM to Strafe about pricing, if we start another server it'll either be on Brohoster (1.5/2 GB) or Hostladder (2 GB).

Forgive me DDR, but I'm going to be a bit blunt here.
Chances are Stuffman and I are going to go ahead with our server. This is not a personal dig at you, nor is it a call for you to end your server. This is a way for us to ensure that we get the security that we have been desperately needing for nearly three weeks now.
In my month playing on your server, I saw some very impressive structures and artwork. The part that troubled me was the fact that many of these builders and sculptors had left. I'm sure they have their reasons: playing different games, loss of interest, or even real life getting in the way. Once the grief attacks started (and got quite frequent) we lost even more users, leaving us with a very small group. Yes, we have obtained new users, but my concern is about the users we have lost.
I don't doubt that you share that same concern. I know that you weren't happy at the lack of players on your first event: the underground maze. You had just upgraded and installed the Multi-verse, and I'm sure you wanted to make sure that that work and money was justified. I think that your disappointment in that turnout led to more advertising attempts to bring in new users. Hence, the Parkour event and the subsequent Roleplay fiasco.
Since those came to pass, our userbase more than quadrupled. However, this new group wasn't loyal to MotK or our works. They came here for the Roleplay and/or Parkour. Our server community had become fractured. I remember one day shortly before the Roleplay was set to do their video recording. It was a day that neither DDR or SoD_Devil came on. Since those were the only OPs at the time, every single one of the RP guys spent all day bitching about how neither OP was in, and how bored they were since they couldn't build. Similar days like this went on for a while until they had set up a new server.
I'll also note that during this time, the people of the Roleplay world could return to the main world. However the MotK users could not go to the Roleplay world. Why should OUR work be at risk while theirs protected?! MotK users were outnumbered by these other morons, and the deck was getting increasingly stacked against them.
So now we have the events of the past week. Mods were instated, the Roleplay world is deleted, and DDR pretty much disappears. It strikes me that you believed that having Mods would allow you to focus on your role in the Roleplay even more. (yes I know you were one of the main stars in that) We Mods were led to believe that we can end the grief attacks once and for all, or at least police the server better. Without access to /ban, we could not fix the problems. There have been NUMEROUS complaints and attempts to get you to address and fix the issue, which you have not. Your attention was elsewhere.
It is quite humiliating and humbling to be in a position of power without a way to dispose of troublemakers. They came to realize that we couldn't ban them, and then they brought in their friends. EP and I started resorting to more drastic measures which ended up causing heavy inconvenience for the players that were loyal to the MotK side of the server. With the situation over the last couple weeks, it became apparent that your loyalty now lies with the Roleplay group, and not with MotK. That's fine. I figured that one day, you'd kick out the MotK users and make the server for the Roleplay idiots. There, you'd finally get all of the users and players that you sought for.
My only begging concern now is "Why". Why did you instate Mods that could not ban troublemakers? Did you believe that we would take over the server as a means to possibly oust you from power? Why did you avoid addressing the issue? You were silent and you were absent. This is NOT how an admin needs to behave.
No, I don't believe that you have learned your lesson. I believe that you are in the process of learning your lesson. You spring to action now that the people are wanting to leave? This is absurd! "Hey guys! I'll fix everything! Don't go! Don't go!"
Sorry, man, but I will pursuing a new server with Stuffman. Let the players decide where they would like to play.
-
Roleplay has been gone for weeks already. They fell apart. Hence why I deleted the roleplay world.
Also the fact that servercraft keeps locking me out of server files doesn't help with adding powers for moderators. (Bigger problem than you think; they claim they can't fix it.)
-
Nice to hear from you DDR!
So what we have in order here -
- New IP + MotK-only based on my playerlist post (though it only includes MC names I can link most of the accounts to MotK by batch PM), and have a whitelist on hand (based on said post)
- New world, preferably with PTM as Eraiya suggested to allow for not-so-vanilla terrain on an otherwise 90% vanilla server, to add on to interest
- No more Member & MotK - they are now the same group.
- Expanded mod powers. At the very least we'll be needing /ban (you never know), /setwarp, time / weather control, Multiverse portal management (and retaining of powers in any worlds), and the ability to actually bypass region protection (the one weakness we had against adrian, a Builder who could do so) in addition to our current list of powers.
- Multiverse as well but we won't be so quick to make portals.
- Less rain and snow. Maybe have it change once every 5-7 MC days rather than the current rate.
- Remove giants, or have them drop something even less valuable (I suggested to Stuffman that they drop a few brick blocks, given his like for bricks)
- If there's a blacklist, you know who to put on it:
adrian246
fig_man_57
charcaid
iFail_v_B34STLY
TaylorGx
Your_Account
SRG1131
foundedman1992

- Lastly, we should arrange times for our own server events. The first one is to burn down the old world with fire and lava (maybe TNT if you so choose to enable it), in a fashion similar to what six of us did yesterday to our own structures (and Cadrin mentioned one such incident). Afterwards, the server goes down, gets its world completely reset, and re-opens, cueing another event to commemorate the new era from which we can rebuild a new town (community house - EPFort - Rukinville mix). I see it as a good way to transition from one era to the next.
Good luck with the malware!
Forgive me DDR, but I'm going to be a bit blunt here....
As one of the major players in the inconvenient anti-griefer campaign I'll decide to side with Strafe and Stuffman on this one, especially if they can stick in the desired features I'm looking for.
Given how both routes involve world restarts, I see little difference other than who is the Op, hosting company, and to whom the loyalties lie. We know about the latter already for one of them, and it's not looking good.
Also the fact that servercraft keeps locking me out of server files doesn't help with adding powers for moderators. (Bigger problem than you think; they claim they can't fix it.)
I think we should move the server to BroHoster or some other company now...which Stuffman and Strafe seems to be going at already.

Love how you completely ignored my post about that.

Still doesn't account for the MotK-based group being unable to manage the RP group while the other could (by griefing).
Also, as DDR says, let's put it to a vote. I think it should be possible for you to make a poll on the first post of this thread, DDR, from which we will determine who we will trust with the server Op role.
Otherwise, we can vote with our feet - err, keyboards and mice - and move to either server without a poll.

The poll is a good idea, hang on.
Edit: I don't think there's an option to edit in a poll, hang on while I set up an alternative.

Heya DDR! Now that you're back, what all have you done since you've returned and what else do you plan to do before leaving for the night? It's great to see you're back and taking action! But.. At the same time, I.. Think I've gotta be honest and say that, while I appreciate everything you've done in hosting this server for us, whether or not you get around to changing my rank to "Moderator" on yours as you said you meant to but forgot to, admittedly, I look forward to seeing Stuff's/Strafe's server when it comes around.
Edit: If a vote comes around, I'm all for deleting the old world, changing the IP and, this time, only MoTK gets the IP, assuming you meant it when you said, "Whoops, I meant to make you a moderator," since WorldEdit will make rebuilding the community building much, much easier this time around- and better than before!

Horrible idea, we might end up with 3 people in either server and the rest just not joining.
We should group together and keep the community as a whole.
That said, I've known Stuffman for a longer time, seen how he does things, and my little experience with Strafe told me he's at the very least generous and dedicated as far as I know. Their plan for a new server was also elaborated with input from everyone, while DDR was away.
When the whole idea is finished and pretty much decided on, DDR decided to show up from the shadows(despite having lurked the thread all this time, your name shows up there with everyone else that's reading the thread, you know) and post apologizing a bit too late and begging for another chance.
... yeah, Imma go with Stuff-sensei and Strafe PhD.

Go here to vote.

I sure hope the results are made public.
e: actually, I don't even see how that poll is necessary, it's not like we're hundreds of pepole.
People should just pick their side and post here and we'll count the results in the end.

Because the poll requires you to view both sides of the story.

Funny how your side of the story is basically a list of reasons and answers to the issues provided in my post. What's even more funny is that my post gets cut off towards the end.
"I have read, considered, and understood both sides of the story, [omitting any opinions and facts that might make DDR look bad]" :V
A vote at this point in time is useless. Let the people play on whichever server they'd prefer. It doesn't bother me in the slightest if people wanted to stay on your server, or play in both.
I want to play with people that are focused on building, rather than destroying.

I highly agree here.

...it seems to be the same for me here, though I have more experience with Strafe thanks to this moderating business.
If DDR had responded earlier before we got this idea maybe I would've put it into consideration, but it seems to be a delayed response.
I have already voted and put my opinions.
-
Heya DDR! Now that you're back, what all have you done since you've returned and what else do you plan to do before leaving for the night?
The server is shut down for now until we have a decisive vote. (Leaving for the night? It's only 4pm here)
Depending on the vote, I'll begin looking at new providers seeing as I just can't stand servercraft anymore. I can't do anything if I keep getting locked out. I also need to do some video editing later.
I'm thinking of inviting one or two people to play a Super Hostile map with me, for stress relief. Skype call of course.
As for what I do on the server, it depends on this decisive vote.

Cut off what? Taking a look now.

Oh I see what happened. Text was too long. I'll put a link instead.

HakuSM already noted it's a terrible idea after I suggested it (with different wording):

If you had unlimited control over your server and were locked in a room where the only thing you could do to pass the time was modify the server in ways that would benefit it, what would you be doing right now, at this very moment, if everyone planned on staying?

Regenerate the world, merge all groups into one, enable access to WE and become a building server, get a server provider that doesn't have horrible customer service.

Exact same thing.

Probably let things lie and join the new one. I'd do one of two things. Either keep my server up and do something with it. Maybe rent it out at an extremely cheap cost. (Probably not, I'd just turn it into a different type of server, though the rent idea is an ok one) The other one is to permanently close down the server and let the old problems die with it.
-
Also we have more people posting here than voting on the poll. You want this solved with a decisive vote or not?
Point of that is that if we do the votes by posting, we'd have arguing and slandering. An anonymous vote is decisive.
We only have 19 posts left in this thread, save them for plans after the vote.
Only 3 votes, yet 4 posts. Really?
-
Because the poll requires you to view both sides of the story.
Which are both posted here anyways, so your point?
Oh btw, massive consecutive posting is considered spamming and against the rules. Please, this is a forum, not an image board.

...
It seems to me that the results of the vote are obvious to everyone here, except you. The decisive question is, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Who would you prefer to run a Minecraft server: me or Strafe?" I'm seeing nothing but people expressing either, "Sure, I'd be fine with either," or, "Strafe. No doubt." I'm not seeing anyone rooting solely for you, and I don't blame them.
Love how you completely ignored my post about that.
How dare you speak to theep that way. Not only is he your strongest supporter, he's one of the many people here that you've wronged, yet he's still kind enough to overlook that comment. He trusted you when you granted him Moderator privileges, thinking he'd be able to do a smooth, clean job of keeping the server a secure, fun place to be. You betrayed that trust by clearly not giving one, single damn about its playerbase. In my opinion, you have no right to show the slightest bit of annoyance, aggravation or anger towards the members of your server over this matter, as you've been doing with your jabs at the very people who made your server tolerable in the first place; and, no, you were not one of those people.
When you get right down to the heart of the matter, you're far worse than each of the individual griefers on the server. By being fully aware of the damage they were doing for such an extended period of time, coming into this thread again and again over the past several days yet refusing to spare the time to take action or at least try to seem like you were being an active member of the community, to me, you're as despicable as the combined actions of each and every one of them for making a conscious decision to do nothing to stop them.
Sure, you're taking action now. Only after you're seeing consequences for your actions- or rather, your inactivity. Like a child only crying and apologizing for doing something wrong after they've been giving a spanking. This isn't remorse you're feeling- it's a calculated decision to finally step forth and say, "Hey guys, I'm here; don't worry, I got this" only after it's apparent that we've had enough.
I didn't want to make a big deal of it, which is why I haven't even publicly mentioned it until the past hour or so, but with the way you keep avoiding my mentioning of, "Hey, remember how you said you meant to make me a moderator in the first place, (http://i.imgur.com/Hn1gi.png) but it somehow, magically slipped your mind?" your intentions are obvious. You only said that so that I'd quit "bothering" you about the security of your server, something which is apparently more important to each and every one of us here than it is to you. One thing I refuse to tolerate from leadership is dishonesty. Furthermore, this avoidance would provide a solid explanation as to why I've seen you in this thread so many times without posting- clearly, you've seen me, too, and didn't want to get into all this in public, since you knew you were lying, while I hadn't quite realized that yet.
With Strafe and Stuff, I have no idea how they're going to run a server. I'm ten types of okay with that. Now, let's say we keep hanging around yours. What do we know about how you run a server? We know that you abide griefers ripping and tearing our creations apart. What can we expect the next time a griefer comes along and spoils everyone's fun? Given your 100% track record of doing absolutely nothing to mend the situation, common sense tells us: you'll repeat your actions.
Given all of the above, I'm deeply disappointed in you and appalled at your behavior. I'm ashamed to have dedicated so much time to someone who's done nothing but betray, hide and deceive. I'm outraged that this has gone on for so long, and particularly, how you spoke to Theep just a moment ago. But, don't you worry. That talk about "where loyalties lie" earlier? Yes, that's crystal clear to me now.
DDRManiac007 is a dishonest person and is not fit for a leadership position, in my opinion. Again, I'd like to reiterate: the results of this poll are nothing short of obvious and I look forward to Strafe's/Stuff's server.
-
You know what they say about the human mind: You can't change someone's mind if they already have a decision in their head.
-
Funny, because my very existence proves that wrong. Just a few weeks ago, I was a proud supporter of your server. I thought you were a wonderful guy who had things under control. Now that I've seen you for who you really are through these events, I changed my mind, despite already having a decision in my head that you were a trustworthy person who actually cared about the state of your server and its playerbase.
Your response only helps further prove that I'm right. Rather than apologize for your sickening behavior, you attempt to defend it with a single, flimsy sentence which is easily dismissed after the shortest bit of exposure to logic and common sense. While I think to myself, "I can't express this enough," I can certainly reel it in enough to refrain from breaking rules by double posting, as you have:
I'd like nothing less than an apology to Theep from you.

Ok this is getting out of hand. Thread locked for the time being.
