OH MAH GOD
ITS CORBY

And this is where I come in and tell you to shut up
I don't care if this guy broke your shit, its a game called faction WARS, grow up and start taking accountability for the things you say and treat other people with a bit more dignity, whether you like them or not.
And even more so, show some respect for the people that actually have to live through domestic violence and abuse every single day, while you get to sit at home happily playing MineCraft and browsing the internet. I know for a fact that there are people on here that have experienced that shit, and I don't care if you were kidding or not, think before you speak
It pains me when I see dirt posts like this over a fucking game

i just bought it
ahahaaaaaaa

2. Make a giant wall of dispensers filled with chicken eggs
3. Build a chicken cannon
4. ...?
5. PROFIT

If its so time consuming, and you barely play the game, why don't you find some new admins (which are needed anyway) and then eventually hand down the management of the MineCraft server to one of the admins? That is a serious suggestion,
Because, to be be blunt, you don't really seem to care about what happens with the server aside from making everything 'mediocre' and getting a few donations in the process, which is understandable - I don't think anyone would expect you too for every single game - but then if you don't care about it or want to put time into it then why try and keep full control over it? The same way that Necrossin is are more responsible for the ZS/IW stuff.
Things like the MineCraft server CAN'T be lead properly on your own, yet that is how it is done here while everywhere else has constant moderation and support to the players, to quote someone else who messaged me about this thread
and while you say you don't want to lose members, the number of players on the server has already dropped significantly compared to how it used to be so another person told me. You find it hard to find admins as it is, but how can you even CHOSE admins for your server when you haven't seen them IG? The admins recruited are always people that you know on a friendly level and so trust, but you don't know the people on the server. As before, sorry if I appear rude, but just because you own the server I don't think that instantly means everyone should agree with you. If it's going to be run as a monarchy then why bother.
I challenge you to a pokemon battle

Not to delay an additional birthday incoming, I want to congratulate Dr. Pannenkoek for his day of coming out of an egg!
Happy birthday dude, you've spent quite a while with us here in the community and on the servers!
And here is your cake, sir!

No, its not the gods faction, if you read it properly you would see that. But fine, you could even just strip world edit part, personally I dont think that is an issue as its not like moderators are your average Joe, but I dont see how you can look at this post with almost every single person saying its a good idea and just go 'nah' without even acknowledging any of the proposed ideas in it.

NOPE.

Thats stupid, ignorant and frankly just lazy considering the amount of potential donations there are in the MineCraft server and sheer number of players that REGULARLY go on here. I don't even play on the MineCraft server, yet I still put the effort in to do this and try to make it better for those that DO play it. Being the owner I would expect you to do the same
Apologies if I come across as being rude.

Awesomeo and I have made a combined effort to come up with a system to both improve the server in quality, longevity, and moderation. Feel free to post your support or criticism, and if you agree then please make that clear in this thread because often community ideas like this can just be straight up ignored - TC need to know if it is a good idea.
We propose a peaceful faction containing 'Janitors'. These would not be 'admins' as such, but more maintenance guys for the server. They would have a set area to build in, where they can create nice things and remain undisturbed by other players. It could still contain players which AREN'T moderators at the judgement of the faction leader to build things, just to keep the game fun for them to play - no one would do it if they were just sitting there on their own.
They would be responsible for a number of things:
- Tidying up areas
A lot of bases are part claimed from factions that never play anymore, and for someone to remove it would take too long. Instead, have a team of people with access to world edit that can simply cut a base out, or those stupid one high towers people build to get up to sky bases, and generally freshen up the area (replace grass with the brush tool, replant forests, repair tnt griefing etc). This is one of the main advantages as within the first week the recent map was griefed to poop.
- Creating server competitions.
The Spleef tournament was great fun, and everyone asked for more events like this. However it's rather time consuming to organise. Instead of leaving up to a global admin with lots of things to worry about, you could transfer organisation of events to the janitor team. They would come up with an idea, propose it to an admin and then go about creating the arena and organising it.
- Quick and instant reporting
Though janitors won't have an administration role, they would be able to check out accused hackers almost instantly and be able to report things straight to the actual admins so they can be dealt with. Drastically increasing the amount of bans given to hackers that are otherwise 'flying under the radar'. This has been the focus of many minecrafters dispair, as whilst x-rayers are dealt with, people that use more discrete hacks are running riot.
- Adding in teleporters
There is a huge map, but few people make use of it because it's just so mundane sitting in a boat for 20 hours only to get killed by a skeleton when you reach your dream island. If were these janitors, people could 'buy' a teleporter in their base that's linked to one at spawn (not sure if its possible with the current plug in, but this may be easily implemented with the upcoming developer support) and the janitor can go and install it.
- Additional Green Coin Shop Items
With a team of janitors, it could be possible to charge a set amount to clear an X*Y area, or as aforementioned install custom teleporters. These items would cost a considerable amount, and would ideally be aimed at the larger factions to stimulate donations.
This would all combine to increase the longevity and enjoyment of the maps, drastically reduce the amount of hackers without requiring to hire more admins, bring in more donations, add some more depth to the server and allow for more epic base construction and set a consistency to the server. For example it could be the case we have a new map every three months on the first day of the month. That way people know what to expect, and how long to spend on their base, instead of the uncertainty there is at the minute.
I see NO reason as to why this idea shouldn't be implemented, given with a few changes to the idea - The server needs something like this.

Give me a bit to think and I'll come up with a happy medium: I'm good with ideas

Happy Birthday Ywa!

IMO griefing normally is fine, its part of the game, its just a sign that you've not done a very good job of making your fortress. If people are doing that shit though then something seriously needs to be done
And I hate to be the person to keep ringing the same old bells but the server NEEDS more admins. I understand that Clavus thinks that with the Xray plugin its cut out the need for more admins anyway, but thats not really true on a server like this: which is obvious from what people are saying.
I'm not willing to apply for admin anymore, but one of you guys should. At the very LEAST hire some bloody moderators with restricted privileges instead of admins because the server its kinda run retardedly.

We're gonna be doing something interesting, different to what we've done before. Ill post something in a bit maybe, not really thought about it TOO much yet

I set up MineCraft with what, in my opinion, is the best looking texture pack, shaders and mods that enhance the default without changing the actual game

The audio mod is slightly buggy at the minute, but it still works fine
I've tried all the HD texture packs before, they never QUITE seem to fit in well, so this texture pack is great.

Why didn't you swollow, Jaames?

How awesome. I once let lava flow all around the Greens tower. They didn't like it.

Yes, the server should have no source of income, and should be completely funded by the magical money fairies that like to follow MC kids around
And your statement is completely stupid, your jumping to an extreme from something that is pretty standard on servers,
Shhhhhhh

It's not really as black and white as paying for power. When you donate money it goes to running the server.
For those that do donate:
For those that want to donate:
For those who do not, and do not want to donate:
Don't do drugs, kids.
