I have no idea what the videos are trying to show, apart from maybe the first one being him spotting you as invisible. More info?

Hey, dear robbi_pvp. When someone fail, he can't hide it. So i recorded the video in case you wanted to delete it.. Indeed what happned? You deleted it, so i'm uploading it.
 
Here we go:
 
Guys don't mind about the sound on the background.

I think xDerp is rather young, and not a native English speaker. He still has time to learn It always amazes me that so many international people here write better English than most English people.

I'm not too sure, this one has been up for under a month though iirc, so expect another 2-4 weeks (as a guess only).

Totally pwned this guy. LOLOLOLOLO

I thought about removing potions, but they provide a lot more gameplay and a genuine reason to head to the nether. If people aren't hiding behind such OP'ed armour combat will be easier and potions won't necessarily help as much as they do now.
I think the thing to remember is, besides the older players everyone's going to expect a server with full MC features. Removing enchanting is easy and clean - An MOTD can simply cycle saying no armour/weapon enchants. But when you start selectively removing potions it becomes a little trickier. If we were going to remove potions the only way I'd personally want to see it implemented is removing splash potions only. That way maybe people would use their gunpowder for TNT and revert back to using tnt canons instead of enderpearl glitches to gain entry to people's bases.
On that topic, you can make an extremely effective tnt canon with only 2 blocks. Rangers used the tactic almost exclusively (unless someone really pissed us off) to get entry. Just put two blocks adjacent, light the back one with a torch first and then the second a little after (length of time depending on the distance you want it to travel). Try it out in SP to get your aim and timing right so as not to waste any blocks.
I can guarantee you 95% of dungeons/spawners are found with x-ray. Especially those that miraculously decide to set up base around 4 spawners in close proximity. You can world edit out a block ID so perhaps replacing them before the map starts would help out a bit too.

Said it before, might as well say it again. What about removing enchantments on armour and weapons? Or at the very least limiting it to prot/sharpness 1. With the anvil it really isn't a task to get the best possible pvp gear with a little time investment.
What I found fun about the old faction wars was the small gap in the best on the server and the worst in terms of inventory. A player can join and be on the same sort of level as 90% of the server in less than an hour and the rest is just up to tactics and luck. Now it just seems whoever plays the longest or has the biggest exp grinder wins because they have the best gear. That provided a lot of new people to raid on a daily basis and less people quitting when they get destroyed by people they have no possibility of killing.
And although its against the spirit of what faction wars used to be, perhaps in its current state it'd be advantageous to give new players 20 minutes of pvp protection to avoid the general ass-ery reported above. On a managerial side of things, would it be possible to see if Whimplash wanted to have ftp access? At the least he could restart the server in TC absence.

You'll be unbanned when the map resets man. Not sure how long that will be, probably in the region of 4-8 weeks.

Banned for x-ray.
That said, we recently gave a load of x-rayers a second chance. If Clavus gives the nod you might get one too

If you lost a spawner and want it back, PM your faction name with a description of where your spawner was, and use some form of block to indicate the area (remember to tell me which block if it's not obvious)*. Lying won't do anything, as world edit only replaces what was there. If you waste my time I might ban you for a day and waste some of yours
*If this is a recurring thing I reserve the right to change this policy without any form of warning.

Beware, THE WITHERSPOON!

How are the wither heads being implemented though? If they're fairly hard to get then I imagine it won't be as much of a problem. Plus, as with everything, a bukkit plugin will swiftly pop up to disable it 'cause it'd ruin every PVP server

My mistake! Need to brush up on what hacks look like...
Heysup, banned.

1.4 should be out near Halloween along with a new map, so expect 2-3 more weeks on this one.

Banned for x-ray.

Redacted.

Who are you. Jedabia?

Hello,
I'm a huge fan of Technic, and recently decided to take my ventures online. The only problem I have, is every damn server suckkkkks. Wild spawns, stupid rules, idiotic communities. I was just wondering a couple of things: Does anyone have any good servers to play on, or if not, would anyone be interested in seeing if we can host a premium subscription server between us? If it's too much work for l4g a bunch of us could just sort it out amongst ourselves.
If you haven't played it, well why the heck not!? Check out Yogscast's tekkit series, it's an entertaining watch and breaks you into some of the concepts.

If your not watching this then why the fuck not, so funny.

You don't have to be special to just contact us and ask us to check it out.

Think I'll add Votifier to the server soon. Then people can get Green-Coins by simply voting for the server on minestatus.net and minecraft.serverlijst.nl.

Unfortunately just saying they have it isn't enough. We have a plug in that handles x-ray bans, so if he uses it he will be caught.

I swear this debate is in every damn thread in this section. Just to clarify:
WE ARE MOVING TO VANILLA ENCHANTING NEXT MAP
If things don't work out we can go from there. But there's no point in wasting keystrokes on the same topic with exactly the same points and arguments being used over and over again.
The f-home restrictions are an interesting idea. Perhaps it could work a little like combat tag, where if you're in combat you can't go home. That would allow people to still get inside and gear up if they spot an ambush, but not hit and run constantly. I'll have a dig around bukkit later on and see if anything fits the bill (you're all welcome to help me )
