  1. Clanchats are opt-in and as such we do not moderate them the same way global is moderated. If someone reports harassment or some other serious offense we may look into it but otherwise if everyone in the clanchat is fine with it, anything goes.
  2. Congrats to everyone who built a base!! Its time to close the voting out and announce the winners: BEST GROUP BASE goes PICO with 11/20 votes! BEST 1-2 PERSON BASE is tied between BERMUDALOCKET & BLUE_AVOCADO and BUZZIE71 with 6/20 votes each!!
  3. Its not a matter of telling someone they *should* be offended. We've reached a point with this particular meme that people are already offended and this was the course of action we chose to take. The intent was never to draw attention or make a big deal of it, but here we are. If you have other concerns feel free to find me in-game or in discord and perhaps I can answer your questions better.
  4. I want to clarify, we have not flat out said "this is a banned phrase" we're asking people to keep it out of public spaces. This would apply to any phrase or statement that falls under the rules we have currently: Initially there was no plans for us to even have to make a public statement regarding this, staff were instructed to have a private conversation when it came up in the hopes that it would die down on its own. It appeared that some people had the wrong impression of this and so we've decided to put this out so everyone has the same information.
  5. Just a note, we've decided to push this back 2 weeks to Saturday September 2nd @ 6pm EDT to allow people more time to finish the survey!!
  6. Please note, i'm locking this thread and all future inactivity posts should be made here. Thanks!!
  7. Its about time to make this post official. Welcome to the Staff Inactivity Notices thread! What is this post for: This post is to alert players as well as other staff that you will not be available for extended periods of time. Why do we need an inactivity notice? As you are aware every 8-10 weeks we go through all staff members usage and evaluate their activity levels to prevent security risks from inactive accounts as well as keep the list of active staff current so players know who they can contact if they need help. An inactivity notice lets us know that you'll be gone for a bit and that you haven't been run over by a herd of wildebeest or abducted by aliens. When should I post?: Any time you'll be away from nerd for a period of time that is outside the norm for you. I don't want to force people to tell us every time they take a two-day trip, but we do need to know if your absence will be outside of your normal playing schedule. for example: if you only play Thursdays- Sundays due to school commitments we really don't need to know if you're taking a Monday-Wednesday trip since we wouldn't normally see you then anyways. With that being said, generally any absence of a week or more should be reported so we don't get worried! What should I post?: We only need to know the dates/length of time you'll be gone. Additionally if something does come up in real life (and it does, all the time) just drop a note as soon as you're able so we can count it. For example: - Hey guys! I'll be gone for the next 10 days or so on a cruise! - I'll be unavailable from August 1 to August 10th - Going on an exciting murder mystery weekend trip, hopefully i'll be back on the 21st but you never know... - Sorry something came up the last month and I've been unable to get in game, will let you know when I'm back. FYI: As this thread goes on we may modify the above instructions to better fit the needs/desires of staff. If that happens we'll do our best to make sure people know about it. Thanks!! p.s. for posterity and also for those who have already posted, here is the link to the initial thread that was being used for this purpose.
  8. Its been noticed that a number of players are using "reee" in general chat, and it has come to light that this is often used in a derogatory/abusive manner towards people (please see this Know your Meme article if you'd like more information on the background of it). We are not convinced that any of our players are using this meme in an intentionally derogatory way however it may not be apparent to those who are affected by it. As we are attempting to keep our servers friendly and open to everyone we are asking people at this time to please refrain from using this meme in general chat/mumble. As a reminder: what goes on in your clanchats is entirely up to you, we do not actively moderate them. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to staff.
  9. Hello all, we're going to be moving forward with a number of permission changes upon our services and reflected on the staff page and will be contacting each individual to keep them informed of this change. Data for this was gathered from June 1st through August 12th. Based on activity, we'll be moving the following people from current staff to inactive: n/a The following people will be moved from the inactive staff to our past staff section: Mumberthrax amossylog StarMinion1 Wondrland There are an additional 4 staff members who will be contacted regarding their activity levels to ensure we're doing all we can to assist them with any queries or issues, and make sure they're still available to participate as a staff member.

  12. Time for another financial update! During the fundraiser we recieved $3,165 in donations, after fees that means we get to keep $3,063.76 which puts us at about 17 months of funding! We are currently paying for two servers - the primary one where pve, creative, event, and minigames run while the secondary server hosts the forums, map downloads, and some of our critical backup information. We again entered into a 1-year contract with our server host, which brought our primary server from $135USD/month down to $113USD/month (until February 2018). The secondary server is still $51CAD/month, and the forums are $25US/6 months. We've also got some fees to register the wiki and forum domains and pay for the forum software. Below is a summary of our expenses since the last fundraiser, and the document we use to track expenses can be seen here.

  23. I don't particularly agree. It's fun trying to guess and explore - it's nice knowing how many are left but giving away all the information up front takes away part of the fun.
  24. The below text (in italics) has been added to the rules page (located at nerd.nu/rules) to clarify the player impersonation rule.
