Unbanned. I'll just take that mudkip off your hands, Random.

I was white listed before to work on it, but get "Kicked whilst connecting to red: You are not whitelisted on this server!" when trying to join.

Hey kempy92, You did in fact take signs and torches from the bridge, but that wasn't the sole reason for your ban. I keep finding various minor destructions from you (one, two, and three) that weren't a big deal, but had no apparent reason to be destroyed. The main edits I thought warranted a ban, combined with these, was when you harvested a farm without replanting (a very common mistake), but then went on to dig out the soil from the farm. There's no reason for digging up other player's farmland other than griefing. Know that griefing is against the rules, and that includes taking any blocks that aren't yours, and not replanting farms. As for the chest you were talking about, if there was a sign saying it's public you're free to take from it. Just be aware that taking from unlocked chests that don't have a sign giving permission is against the rules. The time I would have initially banned you for is already past, so I'll unban you now. The full list of rules is here, and I'd suggest going over them before coming back on. Welcome back!

Hey omarmatos, You're exactly right; when a player, and then a moderator, asks you to stop doing something that is against the rules, you need to stop that action. Once you started to remove your grief I was ready to leave you with a warning, but you continued your griefing after just a minute. You made it clear that you knew your actions were against the rules, but chose to continue. Read the rules here, and respond in this thread with the rule you broke, then reply here on June 23rd or after to be unbanned. Also, Furball7 will have to make his own appeal to be unbanned.

Well I tried to go on twice with the spare laptop and crashed within a minute or two both times. I got to see the wall the second time before the computer crashed, and it looked good. Hopefully my computer will be fixed within a couple days, because running minecraft isn't working out on that one. EDIT: Due to my father being an amazing human being my laptop is now up and running. No more issues on my end.

I'm on the fence. Team rolling in to take back a team member? Awesome! Being the captive? Not so awesome. =/

I have to agree with uni0 here. While I've been on S, chat doesn't get out of hand too much. When it does, mods are quick to step in. I'm not saying chat moderation shouldn't be a concern, but so far there seems to be a pretty good handle on it.

After fiddling with it for half an hour or so, it looks like my charger port finally gave out. Just writing out things to know for CTF in case this isn't a quick fix. When world editing, the outer wall should go tower, 7 normal sections, entrance, 11 normal sections, entrance, 7 normal sections, tower for each side. Last night I marked the edges of where it should go. Start with the towers in the corners. The widest part of the tower wall, not the trim or roof, should be flushed with the lapis pillar I put up as a marker. I explained to tompreuss what I meant if that doesn't make sense. The lobby has a floor now, but I didn't get to build anything else for it. Feel free to take that over or change the floor as you need to. Someone else might need to make the inner wall design. I'm waiting for my dad to come home to see if soldering the charger into the port will fix this, or if it's past that. We have another laptop in the house that I could use, but it's painful to just get Firefox to open on it. Not sure how it would run Minecraft. I can still get on the forums/subreddit/mumble through my phone if anything needs to ask about something I did on the map. Hopefully this is completely unnecessary and this laptop will be back to normal by the end of the day, but better to be safe I guess. Now back to backing up my shit and shutting this down. =P

So here is my rough draft of a outer base wall. It's 93 blocks wide at its widest section, and in my opinion should probably be widened. As explained in the album, that can be done easily. I only did one side of the wall, so feel free to go at it with criticisms. I just did this in a couple hours, it's not like I put days of work into this thing.

For the record I'm drafting up a design for an outer wall, assuming the base design is outer wall, flags, inner wall, base like last CTF. I'll post a screen shot by the end of the day. I'm just getting one side of the wall done in case I'm totally off.

Alright, thanks Steve and slide, that clears a lot up. Also, if anyone else was drafting up ideas for a circular base wall, you might want to use these pictures. This one is for circles of odd diameter, and this one is for circles of even diameter. It helps to save them so you can zoom in farther than imgur allows.

Map looks good, I'll try to throw in a bit of feedback though. 1. Is there meant to be cobblestone on the mountains? I thought either it's supposed to be smooth stone, or would be substituted for team wool later. 2. Wheat grass/ferns come in clusters. Again, not a big deal, just something weird. 3. Any chance of adding forests? It's always nice to sneak around the map to the enemy's base. And I guess we might need them for crafting stuffz, 4. Where would the bases be placed? I explored it assuming they would be at the opposite ends of the border of grass and lava. I'm worried the space between the bases might be too small, if that is the case. I sprinted from one end to the other, (flying over the mountains since teams will dig tunnels through them pretty quickly, so the time was about the same) and it look me about 3 minutes to cross the circle. I know a lot of people said the last map was too big, but a smaller map and easier to traverse terrain might be too much. If the bases are in opposite corners of the map in the lava sections then the distance would probably be fair.

I have to say, the other guy has some balls to cop a feel on demon.

I don't want to seem like I'm bashing down your ideas, but spawning players with gear and not allowing them to build would really take away from what CTF is about. At that point the only thing left in gameplay is clicking at each other. A major part of CTF is supplying your team; supplying them quicker and better than the enemy can. There's also the issue of getting to your enemy. With a preset, unchangeable map, attack routes are limited. We can't take strategy out of the game; that's what makes it so fun. Not the PvP, although confrontations were great. Hell, last CTF my team spent the time to create a map-spanning rail tunnel to blue team's base, and the effort paid off for us. Let players decide how the game will be played. Outwitting and outplaying the enemy by working with your team made everyone want to stay around. Teammates were working quite literally around the clock to get armor, weapons, potions, and a steady food supply for everyone. The sense of urgency is stripped away when gear is equal and free. Also something to keep in mind, this event is for players from all servers. I can't imagine limiting it to strictly PvP would go over well with players from PvE and Creative, nor many Survival players.

Dupe appeal, closing. https://nerd.nu/forum/index.php?/topic/293-mlgjuggalo666-brianherman/#entry2128

Challenge mode? And this was unintended but I do have a gold headband in both.

I'm just worried about the bases being too built up. We still need players to have some freedom to build on their own, and have untouched area underground to mine/hopefully find dungeons.

At the moment, I'm pretty sure I would be available. Edit: My plans got moved around, so Friday is iffy. The afternoon and early evening should be ok. Edit #2: I'm leaving at 7:30 PM EST, I can talk before then.

Hey element57941, I'm glad you acknowledge that you're responsible for your account. And as you said, accounts are banned, not people. And this account stole a large amount of bookshelves, 57 destroyed total. This ban will last 3 days. Reply in this threading asking to be unbanned on June 4th or anytime after. In the meantime, I ask that you and your friend go over the rules at http://www.redditpublic.com/wiki/Rules before rejoining.

Get yourself sorted out, we'll be here when you get back. =) And I'll try not to drown while you're gone, ya bastid.

I'm not going to stop asking him.

I could also help with map/base building.

I'm 100% for another CTF and it would probably be hard to change my mind, but I'll get thoughts down on the other options. Zombie survival: Could be really fun, assuming we're going off of what MasterCommaThe suggested here. https://nerd.nu/forum/index.php?/topic/32-future-event-ideas/ If we don't go with CTF this would probably be my second choice. Factions: I played factions before joining PvE, and it is immensely fun. But it's not something you just play for 24 hours. The fun of it for me was spending time getting well built, defensible bases up with farms, grinders, and materials to supply my faction, then going on raids. 24 hours doesn't seem long enough to get much out of factions. Series of team-based maps: I'll add something later if someone explains that more. Hunger Games: I like the idea, but I'm not to sure how it would be run. In order to include everyone we would probably have to have multiple rounds, so people can't just jump in mid-game. This seems more broken up with waiting time, whereas CTF was constantly available to be played. Some people stuck around nearly the full 24 hours, and they were free to join and leave at any time they wanted to play. That type of engagement in gameplay was crazy. If we want to replicate that, an event where people can join to play at any time is important.

Does pancake actually Gibbs slap you when I ask him to?
