  1. A month? Lord Jesus y'all are harsh.
  2. I was banned for "Illegal PvP on P". I assume this refers to the following situation, which happened last week. I accidentally punched a pigman and logged off to try to avoid getting rekt. They told me in mumble that dny died to the pigman, so I logged back in and got rekt anyways. Dny got his loot back so I didn't think there was any harm. Thank you for your kind consideration, understanding and prompt attention to this matter. Love, FatherSouth
  3. It would be a shame to close the once-great Survival server tonight without some sort of send-off.
  4. For the first hour or so I was the only non-staff member, and I didn't have many questions, so a recording would have been mostly silence or people discussing in-game stuff ("are you in the nether right now?" etc).
  5. We should find someone with a bunch of ideas for events, prizes, etc., and make them an "Event Admin." Then they could be in charge of coming up with these sort of things.
  6. This seems like overkill to me. If the area is walled-off except for a roof, wouldn't enderpearl-deny on the whole region be sufficient to stop people from accidentally entering?
  7. As hilarious as that would be, it's probably a hair from unce's gigantic middle-eastern style beard.
  8. Thank you for soliciting feedback about your post canceling survival. I have some questions. You say that you will not be having a Survival Revision 30, but what is the status of the current revision? Will it remain up until you have "address[ed] the future of Survival," or will you be taking it down after a couple months (or sooner)? You also say that you will not be replacing the current S Admin positions. What does this mean for the admin duties of the current revision? You attribute part of the issue with survival to "staff communication breaking down." I agree. You also stated "We have since addressed in some part and are making a greater effort in communicating amongst ourselves better." Would you please elaborate about how you have addressed this issue? Would you be amenable to more radical changes in how nerd (as a whole) is operated, to avoid such issues in the future? I know several people who attribute nerd's disfunction to its operational structure. I would love to speak with you in detail about this. During the donation drive, we were told that nerd would be using the money to "keep the servers running for another year." Are you concerned that you failed to meet this promise to those who gave you money on behalf of the survival server? Also during the donation drive, you promised to expand into other games and minecraft gametypes. Yet you also partially attribute Survival's failure to "the pressure of a constant cycle of revisions." How will you handle the pressure of expansion differently?
  9. What Forever_A_Steve? Did you respond to the wrong thread?
  10. A kit that I've found works well, while at the same time being simple: Max Sharpness at 3 Max Protection at 2 Max Strength at 1 No Inst Damage or Poison Nerf effects of golden apples EDIT: An added bonus of this kit is that, unlike with Prot 4/Sharp 5 + regen, your armor isn't completely broken when you die. So the loot you pick up off your kills is actually worth something.
  11. You could go all Call of Duty and add deathstreaks (or "point deficit streaks") to make it easier for a losing team to come back.
  12. I remember paying $50 for AllNatural to sing "America The Beautiful" in falsetto. I think it was a ChildsPlay charity fundraiser.
  13. You're partially right, tobylane. The premise for this thread is a little silly, but the last we've heard about S Rev 29 was a post at the beginning of May, when they said "First weekend of June." I think unce is just prodding for an update.
  14. Canada is in North America.
  15. There are some interesting ways to offer in-game bonuses that apply to everyone, not just the donator. For example, c45y mentioned double-size enderchests, you could also expand the map by 10 blocks per donation, or a temporary XP boost for everyone for an hour after a donation, etc. I'm not sure if this has been done before, but you could offer in-game bonuses during a donation drive in the same way. During a CTF event, if someone donates, it would give everyone speed 2 for a minute, or boost XP gain for a little while, or make mobs drop double the items, etc.
  16. By "sharing his concerns," I meant that I was concerned that donating would be taken as a tacit endorsement of the way the current admins/staff are running the servers. As we have no actual vote on how the place is run, I can only "vote with my dollars," you know?
  17. As someone who has donated more than 1k to nerd in the past, I hold similar concerns to Mumberthrax.
  18. Can someone confirm whether or not nerd will run out of funding at the end of this month? That seems to be what the numbers would suggest. Maybe it's time to actually schedule that donation drive that you keep idly talking about.
  19. Wow, I hadn't logged into the hub plot world in a couple weeks, and half these builds came out of nowhere! All these builds look fantastic, and any one of them would be a massive improvement from the current lobby (no offence intended to whomever made it).
  20. When can we expect the voting thread? :)
  21. These suggestions are great, but most of them require a lot of work, time, and admin and technical staff willing to see the project to completion.
