  1. Bagpipe album

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I'm making a bagpipe album. Full of a bunch of shit that I know. Check back here soon because holy shit it's gonna be awesome. I have a new set of bagpipes that are vastly superior to my originals. Whenever I practice solo I plan on coming on mumble too. More info on that forthcoming. 

  2. PvE - Protecting Natural Foliage

    in PvE

    Posted

    The only rule related to this should be "Don't cut down unnatural looking trees if they have a 'please do not cut down' sign on them". Otherwise people could claim anything is a custom tree except for the blocky ones that no one here likes for some reason. You don't have to protect them with world guard or whatever, just have to see that something that the tree is important to someone.

  3. Nerd.nu Community Meeting

    I won't be there, but I really hope new player retention is brought up. It's obviously an issue - the new players are dropping faster than in past revs - so something is definitely up. I can't say if the long rules are the problem, but I remember when I tried to get my brother to play on the server with me, he joined, took a look at all the signs, said "too many rules" and left. This was back in rev12, so the rules are a bit simpler now from then, but I feel like we can make it more concise. I am aware that moderators are afraid of rule lawyering by the banned players, but if you take a look at the most recent bans, most of them are pretty black and white and the mods often screenshot proof.

  7. TNT use for next revision

    in PvE

    Posted

    I suggested this In a thread about a year ago and honestly it's a nice decorative block if not fully allowed on P. i don't know how we would be able to protect the causing destruction outside of the region thing, maybe have a mod "approve" the lighting of the tnt or something I don't know

  12. Regarding my last thread

    back again and about time too.

    I've always thought the X-ray ban was way over the top, like I understand it's a serious offense and all that but why roll back all their edits? Like they have logs of every block they've mined, and the stuff they built before they xrayed shouldn't be rolled back because they didn't cheat to get it. I know next to nothing about mod permissions so I don't know if a rollback of this magnitude is even possible, but people should only be punished for the stuff they do after they X-ray, not before. It's not fair to every other member of such and such town if "le_meme_man_xx" decides to X-ray and other peoples builds are affected because he helped them out before he cheated.

  14. Mods and Admins: You're working too hard.

    So you had to go out of your way to be objective? After the first thing you wrote was ripped apart by the post below it, you went out of your way to edit it and find something else to get on me about. Re-read the post I made. You obviously did not read it through the first time.

    Whether or not he put money into nerd wasn't the point - me asking if he did was to see if I could try and find where this sort of "overlord" mentality comes from. Read some of his posts from earlier in this thread. Essentially it's: "This is how I like things, this won't ever change, oh well." We're losing active, caring members of this community. I didn't need to "Fact Check" that, because I've been watching it happen first hand for years. Yes people get older and move on i understand that, but usually there's people to replace them in some capacity. Eventually we're just gonna be a stagnant husk of what we once were, and I - and obviously at least a FEW others in this thread - don't want to see this happen.

    I'll quote you here from an earlier post you made: "Get over yourself."

    I wholeheartedly agree, but change is necessary. The fact that a whole shit fest occurred because of some stupid house the admins don't want to remove is ridiculous. We're not 5 anymore, and I'm almost positive Mr stone isn't coming back. I had been in (somewhat) frequent contact through mumble, and he just kinda disappeared one day.

    Long story short, if we want to keep people here for longer, the dumb land policy is a good place to start. As previously mentioned, reasonably sized land claims should be allowed to be protected, and honestly the whole "protect builds not land" is stupid. I've seen some dumb shit get protected here and other much nicer things "didn't qualify as a build worthy of protection". Pre planned builds are awesome; who just builds shit on the fly without an estimate of how much land they need?

    inb4 thread locked, too toxic, "admin discussion" needed, two months go by and nothing happens

    Wow, what a buttery post.

    I feel for you man, I had the same problem with removing a house a few revs ago. It literally had nothing in it, made entirely out of (heh) birch logs, and the reason I couldn't have it removed was because "it had two floors and was mostly complete" this was indecember 2013. Enter February 2014 and nothing has changed, player hasn't returned. I make another modreq and again am denied. It has been over three months now, since the build was "finished" in November 2013 but apparently not having a player on for all that time warrants a quality birch mansion staying right in the middle of my planned digging area. The player in question was going to help me one night, and said "I'll be back soon" and I had hoped he wouldn't leave forever. Long story short, that happened. I really think the build removal process on this server is assinine and stupid, and Silversunset01 states "what kind of build should we be removing?" How about this

    If the build serves no purpose to anyone other than its initial creator, (the end farm that Silversunset01 mentions is a horrible example, this rev it was built by Trooprm32 who is on regularly) gets in the way of other people's builds, and at least a month has passed since the player has been online, why shouldn't it be removed? It only inconveniences the player who is trying to make use of the wasted land.

    take this with a grain of salt, if you will.

  21. absence lately

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hello whoever is reading this. I know I've been far from active for some time now, but I actually don't have access to a computer. I once said I'd never leave for long periods of time without telling anyone, and here I am, telling why I've left for long periods of time. For some reason I was so determined that I would be chosen as a new mod and was slightly disappointed that I had not been chosen (thought about, I don't know) but that's not really why I have been gone.

    A life without Minecraft or you guys is definitely not a life I want to be living.

    something something responsibility blah blah apology.
