There's that one pixel on the mouth thats bugging me. Is it just because of the way the face is er, facing. Or?

Massive props for this, it works well and looks set to bring in some good donations! I would suggest for where to go in the future: Change the wool shipment, 8 blocks of colour isn't really enough to create anything. In time I would love to see the ability to buy stacks of each colour. Or even just of white wool so it could be dyed. I love decorating in gold and lapis blocks too, because I am a tacky SoB. They serve no other purpose than decoration, so would be cool to see them available too. An obvious move is grass/mycelium blocks. As well as glass, wood and other basic blocks. I like that there are no diamonds on there. It gives a necessity to actually play the game rather than being able to get the best gear in the game for a few euros. Already been suggested, but a alchemists kit would be wicked. Some base gear for creating potions and such. Base marking on dynmap could cost a modest amount of gc? And reserved slots Seriously good work though.

I prefer slightly larger bases to towers. I get claustrophobic and dizzy running around and it's a bitch to fight in. We could make our own gated community, each with our own summer house and pool, with a central Michelin starred restaurant and a private security firm.

We should start charging for unbans. Brant just shelled out ¢20 for a new account just to play on the server again. If you charge ¢10 and say, don't cheat or you'll be banned again then we'll be rolling in benjamins.

Our land claim needs so remastering, won't be important for this map as such. But next map it needs to be on form to avoid butt rape-age. With our current base, it would be best to set up the claim in a cross shape; extend our claim along the cardinal directions and reduce it on the diagonals. At current there's a lot of wasted claim with no real purpose. Something like this, two's being claims 1's being wilderness: 112211 112211 222222 222222 112211 112211 This way we're protected from tnt cannons effectively with less land claim spent.

If it's going to work, I reckon it needs to have a maximum size of active players (to work out claim area, allowing for days of inactivity and any kicking that needs to take place), A clear and structured topic of applications and votes as to whether the player should be accepted or not (Just to make things easier to monitor) and everyone needs to be trusted enough to have mod rights within the faction. So effectively if you wouldn't mod someone and trust them with your entire land claim, then they don't belong.

I suggested referral by at least three members. One of which being a mod. But I don't know if Rangers will be around next map so

Dat literary beauty.

SCANDALOUS!

Mungol. /thread.

Not sure, but isn't the only way to give rights to tp command by op'ping someone? I think naturally those in the faction will be (or should be) greens and the sort, and therefore have more of a presence on the forums and IRC to pass on reports of foul play. But they shouldn't necessarily be given mod/admin rights unless earned through an official application and approval. The faction should be expected to help out the newcomers to the server, make people aware of the forums and donations procedures and ensure people know that cheating is bad m'kay. Then those helpful souls can say, I wanna be admin. I help out all the time and I think I'm mature enough and all I do is build forts and shit so I can has admin? I forget what I'm writing about.

Good sign! IMO, try to do something together face to face if you feel comfortable doing it. Shit even if you don't, just push your self. Virtual communication is counterproductive and gives you too much time to think and mess things up. When you're alone together, there's silence between conversations and it pushes you to talk and get to know someone. Bonus points if you knew them ages ago, that's three years of stuff you could talk about. People you used to know who have changed, your old and new schools etc. Just ask her what she does for fun these days, or mention that you wanna see a film/go out somewhere but all your friends are too lame to come with. That's her opportunity to go out with you if she wants to without you actually asking her out.

I don't recommend the gay thing, just mentioning I read a book with it in. Unless you have some sort of swagger. And if you do want to pursue her romantically, don't let the boy put you off. I got my current girlfriend to break up with her long term boyfriend and have sex with me in about 2 weeks. Boyfriend or not, you can get to any girls emotions.

That's a loophole in the Faction's plug in, and not an issue limited to this server. It'll more than likely be patched by the plug in creators. I also just wanna take a moment to take credit for discovering it.

There's a book on PUA's (guys who think they can get any chick) and one of their tactics is to say they're gay, work on the girl and then just kiss them. And when they remember you're meant to be gay just shrug it off and say it was a way to get around your bf/friends whatever. Just don't make too much of an effort. Don't ask the music thing, not a great thing to say. Don't always be the first to start up conversation. Bring up fun times in your past, speak about people you both used to mutually know. Say you've missed hanging out with her and ask if she wants to get coffee or something. Unless it's a straight up yes, then she's not as invested as you. Blow it off and forget it

The poll topic - thoughts on mc server or something along those lines.

It's all kind of linked in my eyes. Until the server becomes better, administration will be sparse because people don't want to play on it. Until people play on it, the hackers won't receive bans as efficiently as they should. Until the hackers are banned, people won't enjoy the server and so won't donate. Until people donate, the server won't become better. So really, it boils down to donations. And Clavus already mentioned he's working on getting this sorted; we just have to wait.

Peaceful factions have to be assigned/deassigned by an admin. They can't nominate themselves, so that won't be a problem. I imagine with the combination of info given in Clavus' post, he is working on allowing you to purchase peaceful faction status (speculation only) New map will doubtfully be for a while. An update to MC isn't imminent, and sorting the green coin shop can't be easy, quick work.

So some people want a building server, others want war. What if we were to create a l4g faction and allow it to be set to peaceful. If we set up base far to the edge of the world, and just enjoy building then it could offer a bit more entertainment for l4g members that don't enjoy the factionwars side to things. To join you'd have to be a known member on the forums, and not provoke attack or try and abuse the peaceful setting. It might encourage some more spectacular builds, and allow for a more positive outlook to the members who at the moment seem to feel it is not part of their community. Just an idea.

The end portals are indestructible, they just require you to find and secure them. There's not a whole lot in the end - Just endermen to grind exp/ender pearls. And to be honest if you had every Tom, Dick and Harry in there it would just be an extension of the battlefield causing you to lose your hard earned exp. Not to mention the griefing that would take place. At the moment, it's a race to secure resources. Like any conflict, one side holds a resource or asset you want and your objective is to destroy them and take it for your self. Want that end portal? You better get beefed up son. The nether is an interesting debate. Safe zoning the portal IMO would be a good thing. Safe zoning anything else or allowing claiming over one block would be bad.

Looking good. Obviously if people never come back it's an issue. But this will work to greatly reduce the abuse of combat logging which is of course a benefit. A step in the right direction, thanks for the hard work.

Everyone's commentary is welcome because everyone's part of the left4green community. I made an option for those that don't play minecraft but experience the negative effects of the server's upkeep on the forums so they could also be included.
