While I don't have any strong feeling for or against it, I agree with LetBFehr when he says it could ruin any kind of scavenger hunt/maze/other game someone wants to build.

Finals start this Thursday so my play times will be a bit different, but if I see either you or cab on I'll be sure to pop by and help.

Since I'm still a newbie, we won't be looking for one until I've settled into the role. We will be looking for one eventually though,

The first CTF attempt of this summer was meant to test it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but going from server to server with players warping between lobby, red team, and blue team caused heavy lag, and was part of the reason why the event had to be postponed. If we're going to consider this (and while I don't want to be negative, I don't see the benefits at the moment), we'll need a new/heavily altered version from the one used then.

Sounds good. Spoke to Random, I'm giving him the guidelines here and he's going to make the post since he proposed the idea.

So P and S are onboard. Cadmins?

TheRandomnatrix’s suggestion of a 1.7 server icon contest has been getting positive feedback both in that thread and during P’s mumble meeting last night. The idea is to have a contest allowing the community to make icon sets for the servers that could then be voted on. So, I was hoping all the admins could agree on having the contest, with these guidelines: Submissions must include icons for all 4 servers (Creative, PvE, Survival, and little ol’ Event) The image must be 64x64 pixels (Mojang’s choosing, not ours) While we seek unique icons for each server, submission sets with a cohesive look are preferable Icons must follow chat rules and contain no NSFW images These guidelines can be changed, I figured we just needed to start somewhere. If everyone approves, a post should probably go up soon telling people of the contest to give them plenty of time to work on their icons. Not sure if it would be best if Random made the post since it's his idea, or for a head since this covers all the servers, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Hello all! With the start of the new rev, there seemed to be some confusion as to what is eligible for protection. So, as part of my new padmin hazing I’m here to clarify PvE’s policy on protections. The wiki will be updated to reflect what is posted here, however we wanted to make a post to make the few clarifications more visible. Protections exist solely to prevent grief and other unauthorized edits. Protections are not used for "claiming land." Mods will only protect builds (houses, rail, farms, etc.) and clearly established large projects, such as cities.Requests to protect empty land or to protect a very large buffer around a structure will be denied. Land that has been significantly improved through road/plot making or terraforming can be protected at our discretion. Hastily made structures that serve no purpose other than to lay claim to an area will not be protected. Modreqs asking for the protection of land that has had no or minimal edits made to it will be denied. Protections generally will cover the entire area above a structure (to sky limit) and about 10 blocks below the lowest floor.We will not protect to bedrock unless your structure extends down that far. Underground resources are considered to be public property. Mines, drop shafts, etc., will not be protected. We hope that this properly explains what will and will not be protected on P, however if any questions remain, be sure to ask!

To be fair, PvE's carto is never released until a couple weeks after launch in an effort to get people to explore the map rather than scouting out the carto for preferred building spots. So we're not really expecting it to be up until at least* this Friday. *At least Friday, I have no idea when it will actually be up.

I don't think totemo meant to block that, actually. The first block you described was put into place so that a player couldn't steal a flag, then go into a area where they are invulnerable to create a stalemate. If a player takes their enemy's flag into the enemy safe zone, they are putting themselves into a very vulnerable position where they cannot kill, but can still be killed. There's no threat of a stalemate there, unlike the previous situation.

Hey max3347, I've edited your title to show your name and your banning moderator. Hold tight and Trooprm32 will handle your appeal. If no one replies in 48 hours, feel free to bump your appeal. Ban information: Ban for max3347 for Crop grief on S nerd.nu/appeal by Trooprm32 on 2013-09-15 00:59:49

I'm not even sure if the one under the base had a library, since it seemed oddly cut off. I'll load the map on singleplayer and try to find it, because I'm worried about poking around the final map this close to launch. =P

o pls no On a serious note, is there anything left to be done? Some things I was considering, not sure if they're done or even going to be implemented: -sugar cane around the bases -equal access to animals on both sides of the map (either both have cows, sheep, ect. or neither do) -dyed sheep again? We did this last time because lapis is harder to come by, but I'm not so sure it's that difficult anymore with the ore plump. -on a slightly earlier version, tompreuss and I found two strongholds. I believe one had an end portal. Will these be removed, or at least have the portal disabled? One is directly under a base, that's the only reason I'd consider removing it. The other (with the the portal) is in a more neutral location.

If you don't know someone, shouldn't that be a no vote? How can you justify giving mod perms to someone that only a few people know and support? To me an "Abstain" vote is unnecessary, since like scher said, it is included in the no vote for good reason.

Ban information: Ban for Aireal on c.nerd.nu for xray | nerd.nu/appeal by totemo on 2012-02-09 00:15:21 (no more bans, no notes) I've edited your an appeal title so to show your account name and who banned the account. Please wait for totemo to handle your appeal. If no one has attended to it after 48 hours have past, feel free to bump your appeal.

Could you write the name of the account you bought? The name BlakeSnake shows no bans.

As for voting in private, I don't agree with that. People are concerned about transparency, so we're going to hide something that's always been public? I don't see enough of a benefit to make that change. I'm all for having a pretty solid consensus of who should be allowed into voting, so we don't have so many negative votes like last time. If they hardly have support in private, we can't expect them to get a positive response in public voting.

Areas are not listed at spawn because they are not server run. Players have made a lot of arenas, and then they modreq for an admin to approve it for a PvP region. Your best bet to find them is to ask around. There are many different kinds of arenas. Some PvP regions aren't even focused on fighting, but rather need PvP enabled for a game to work, like the one Dobreria built in Seneca. Happy searching.

I don't want to bring this appeal off topic, but I'll explain the note quickly; This was from a day on mumble where you started to dox a player's alt, and I stopped you before you could say anything more. After this we discussed through PMs why I stopped you, the policy on alt doxing, and what qualifies as alt doxing. The note is to show that you have been warned about it in case the situation came up again. The think the note was deserved, and I don't plan on removing it.

Aw yiss, that's the weekend I planned on going home so I won't be distracted with silly socializing.

I too would like to know the secrets of the wonderbeard.

Hey little_duff, thanks for appealing. I banned you for combat logging when a player approached me, saying that you had logged out after he attacked you. I teleported to the player and witnessed you repeatedly logging in, and then logging out within seconds of seeing the player. This was something you were already given a note for. Logging out to stop someone from attacking you, even if they are only approaching and no hit has made contact, is combat logging. This is taken from the rules page, and will hopefully clarify combat logging for you. If it doesn't, feel free to ask questions. The time that I would have kept you banned for has already passed. Please reply here stating that you have read the rules to be unbanned. Given that tomorrow is my last day of orientation and I'm not sure when I will be able to get to my computer, it would be much appreciated if another mod could unban little_duff after he has followed my instructions.

I'm leaving in a couple hours and will be pretty busy for the next week, but if anyone has questions about the map I'll be able to check the forums and get on mumble sometimes to answer. As for the walls, each side should go like this: 1 tower, 7 wall sections, 1 enterance, 7 wall sections, 1 enterance, 7 wall sections, 1 tower for 25 bits total on each side. Not sure if the wall was saved whole or in sections, since it was put together in sections last time. I wanted to just use a smaller version of the outer wall for the inner one this time, rather than the derpy circle I made on the spot. I would only put one enterance on the center of each wall, but other than that just wing it on what seems like a good length. Last thing I can think of is just make sure the tower enterance are oriented correctly. And if they were saved before I added those in, I can make them when I get on. I still have them made in single player.

Since Sapphric is out of town I went ahead and unabnned you for him. Welcome back.

Hey StutterStep, thanks for appealing and being apologetic. Despite being kicked with a warning for griefing, you continued to break and spam blocks where another player was trying to work with redstone. The final straw was when you dug down from a nearby pond into his building area, flooding it, after he had already asked that his build be left alone. I know you expressed interest in redstone, but the player only invited you over to look. Editing another player's build without their consent, especially when they directly ask you to stop, is griefing. Your trace can be found here, however I had already rolled you back once this screenshot was taken. I'm going to set the ban length at one week. Please reply in this thread stating which rule you broke (rules can be found here) on Monday the 26th to be unbanned. Know that this is your second ban for griefing. Another ban will be met with a harsher punishment.
