  1. Actually creative used to hold spleef competition all the time, maybe not big tournaments but I distinctly remember C45Y hosting several spleef events for creative. It then started to occur on PvE but given that creative has unlimited blocks we were able to make extravagant spleef arenas to host very appealing contests. 

     

    Oh right okay, could get C45Y to do it again. :P We'll see.

     

     

    Might be worth saying though that a lot of the map is not what people want. It's been either swamps, mesa, too much really steep/curvy land or too many trees worth the effort to clear. People prefer plains to have a clear slate, but also want small mixes of other biomes in case if they want to build something somewhere in particular.

     

    True, I know one thing for sure...

     

    Mesas. Never Again.

     

    At least not around spawn...

  2. Games and events other:

    - We could have more very long on going contests set on a theme like we've had this rev where the winner gets some big prize (as it's a very long competition).

    - We could make small events such as who made the best statue in big town and best pixel art, these don't really have to have prizes but could be announced and archived on the wiki.

    - You could set some competitions where the winning design may play a large role in the next revision's spawn.

    - This could come under mini games but more frequent spleef tournaments.

     

    • We tried the ongoing contests that only lasted a month, only a whopping 3 people participated as a whole. But as most say, its lack of advertising, so if we bring it back, we'll be sure to advertise it better!
    • I like the small events thing, it could just be a nice weekly rotation of "best of..." or a mini weekly challenge, and we could perhaps display them on rotation around spawn.
    • That's a great idea, I had a "monument" idea in mind actually. So along the lines of a big part in the next revision, have it be a protected spot in the world. Like, if we were visiting a new planet and see remnants of the past, we'd see that special build hidden there around spawn as a nice little find and tip of the hat to the builder.
    • Spleef tournaments are usually held on PvE as a tradition, such as the spleef club. I wouldn't want to take that away from them, but I suppose we could do our own creative one.

    To also be noted, the winners of such events, (we should have much more than we had now...) would also be on display in the trophy world, so even when the possible rotation of a players build is done, that build goes right back to the trophy world to be displayed again.

     

     

    Map size and shape:

    - Smaller? I see a lot of empty ground this revision, if we made it smaller it could encourage players to build together more and help build up a bit more of a sense of community within creative.

     

    • Really? I've seen lots of space taken with builds underneath so that's not a problem. The poll vote so far looks like its pointing to keeping it the same as before, which I think is best.

     

     

    Community builds:

    - I know we have spawn city but why don't we make one very large city each rev that's meant to have a theme not just random builds in plots, we would still have player lead ones but we could have in a way like a capital city of creative haha.

     

    • That is a great idea, do you mean a Spawn City and a themed Spawn City? Like Spawn City in one place and a Creative Capital, in the other? I like that idea, we should exercise it.

     

     

    Other comments:

    - For the /warp spleef or /warp pvp ect why don't we get pre made ones that are alright, but if someone makes a better one we should just swap them around.

    - Different worlds, we could have a sort of retro creative (no fly, no WE, no insta break but still creative inventory) for all the old boring people on creative, we could have the current style world set up as the main world, and we could have a word designed to test new ideas out or new plugins to see how people find them.

     

    • Good idea, we could still have a nicely designed one in case no one wants to build one, but if we think its better, we could swap it!
    • I was going to do that this rev actually, but I only see about 1 out of 5 people who like the idea. While still it's an okay number, we could try it out on a small world to see if its popular enough. I wanted to also do a plot only world, it would be like the overworld, but only with boring ol plots. Funny enough, it's been suggested so much, might as well add it in to appeal to the other side of creative.

     

    Hope this helps

     

    Yes, it does. Thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to this poll! The more comments, the more of a better understanding I can get.

  3. To tag along with the youtube comment, after we set up the speedbuild arena this rev, I'm going to try to record a game of it, I just need to find the right software to do so. If I don't end up doing it this rev, I'll definitely begin more recording next rev, as several people have suggested, making videos of buildings or any other games in Creative.

  4. I wanted to start another game. Let's see if this works!

     

    The idea for this one is each person must post one sentence and the person commenting after must try to continue the story with their own sentence.

     

    EXAMPLE:

     

    Commenter 1: "The boy crossed the road."

     

    Commenter 2: "He then looked to his right and saw a dancing elephant."

     

    Commenter 3: "The elephant then collapsed on the ground."

     

    You get the idea. Here I'll start:

  5. While I agree on what Skraps is stating, on how Creative is more about how the community comes together and builds their solo and group projects in unison. We all love to share our builds and create memories, not just a throwaway test ground. 

     

    However, that being said, it's clear that the majority of the people want this planning server. Yes, we're talking about it, I apologize again, for how long it takes.

     

    Also to the /signtext being avaliable for everyone, I discussed with a few techs and we can see a few problems happening and we would like to refrain from using this command for everyone. For now, please just /modreq for colored text and whatnot, we'll come around.

     

    And to the list of commands roastnewt posted here:

    • //center
    • //brush
    • //gmask
    • //naturalize
    • //biomelist
    • //green
    • /ascend
    • /descend
    • /unstuck

    The techs have tested them and are going to implement these following commands soon:

     

    • /biomeinfo
    • /biomelist
    • /brush sphere
    • /brush cylinder
    • /brush clipboard
    • /brush smooth
    • /brush gravity
    • //green
    • //unstuck
    • //ascend
    • //descend
    • //ceiling
    • //up
    • //center
    • //naturalize
    • //farwand

    I will edit this comment later stating when they have been implemented/changed and will post on the subreddit.

     

    EDIT: Aha! And it is now posted here: http://www.reddit.com/r/mcpublic/comments/32tzrv/new_commands/

     

    EDIT 2: Four more commands have been added, because why not. (Thanks Dumbo)

     

    • /mask
    • /size
    • /range
    • /mat

  6. now that'd require a lot of plugins but would draw more attention to creative and give it another use other than to build a sack on. We could also have the competition world like we have just now for the lobby. I think we should make use of the multi world thing a lot more than we are.

     

    I think so too, we have ideas in store, we just need to fix things first before we can continue.

     

    Silver: Yes, we looking into it.
