Sneak peek of a few sections of the road that I've been working on. Also, puppy.

Looks like there are some supply drops around S to keep an eye out for. Moar cute pups

My guess was that is was a in game warning during the event

Today, July 13th @ 5 PM EDT, Survival rev 25 will end, and will turn to chaos mode at 5:30 PM EDT. Obligatory cute puppy

Thus my question:

"the ones marked are the ones i marked" Obviously. That isn't what Mrloud asked though. What are you using to determine if a mod is active or not? what is your criteria? Not seeing them in a month? playtime? seen in IRC last? last seen on the forum? Mrloud has been actively looking into culling this list over the last week or two, compiling a list and trying to contact moderators. Buchanman has been active as a moderator this rev on S even if he hasn't been on in a month.

I like the idea of having two books. Maybe one that is just the rules, and a second that explains gameplay- just so the book labeled "rulebook" isn't quite so daunting

Everyone keeps talking about this "24 page long rule book." How many of you actually read it? (it's 30 pages BTW) The first 2 pages are "welcome, this is S" stuff. Then a table of contents for page 3, and 4 pages of basic game play changes such as extra crafting recipes, mods, and server config settings. Then the oppressive list of 31 rules, one of which seems to be missing (#9?) which is 7 pages. The next 4 pages are Tharine's new player guide 2 pages of /LWC commands come next, followed by 3 pages describing modreqs and how to use them 1 page listing other services/resources of nerd 4 pages listing various commands And the book ends with 2 pages advertising PvE and C The majority of the book is a helpful resource to players. perhaps we should change the name? Would that help?

If it is a tag that appears in chat, I am against it. As shown with the clan tags, having extra stuff in the chat makes it hard to read. If it is something that simply appears next to a players name in game, it could be worth looking into and might encourage more PvP

In a perfect world that may be what the downvotes are used for, but around here they more frequently get used because someone dissagrees with a contributing post or simply doesn't like the player posting. If you look through the threads (especially some of the more recent ones) the use of downvotes just spurs butthurt "y u downvote me brah" posts and other drama that really only hurts the discussion. I definitely think upvotes still have a place, but downvotes really don't and don't seem to add much if anything to a discussion. That is the same opinion I got from reading the old thread that draykhar posted. players missed the upvotes when they were removed, but really didn't care about the downvotes.

Ehh, take it for what it is, I was responding to his (unfortunately accurate) accusation, and asking for a legitimate post. For an upvote, sure, but threads full of downvotes usually turn confrontational rather than constructive quickly and downvotes are almost always used as a lazy alternative to posting a thought out reply. I see very few constructive uses for downvotes.

Yup, trying not to though as that does nothing to help the servers. Anyways, do you have a contributing comment to post that I could maybe upvote? or just more mudslinging?

Hmm, I just found a use for downvotes, Comments that do nothing to contribute to the conversation. Mud slinging does nothing good for the servers IMHO.

Initially after being asked to stop he even apologized and said he would yet failed to do so and continued even after several warnings

Just make a chest, use /cmodify crockodile on it, and then /mail send crockodile i left items in chest for you at x y z. IMHO having the ability to send items without interaction discourages map exploration, player interaction, and transportation development, all of which are very important on PvE.

I would agree with you dizney. The times I have been inclined to use downvotes have been out of laziness when I didn't feel like putting in the effort to think through and post a response. I do think that upvotes serve a useful purpose as they can be used instead of a style post

"does not indicate that any of these plugins will be used on Survival". Currently we are not planning on using Botany for the next rev

It sounds like a good idea to me as well. I'm picturing this

Usually the objective of UHC is to be the last team or player alive (exceptions being seasons 1, 2, and 9 which were race to kill the dragon and season 4a which was still stay alive but with the twist of a central monument to complete instead of killing if the players wanted to)

If we are going to limit the amount of players that can do the event, I would suggest having all players that were interested sign up, and then have 45 players randomly selected and distributed into 15 teams(or however many players/teams is decided on) as last survival rev I led the PvP stats despite never having enchanted a single set of diamond gear. I simply helped some players farm heads for fireworks and ended up on top.

Perhaps you meant monthly instead of annual ? :D
