  1. Getting prismarine and sponge is supposed to be a challenge to work toward - getting gear, water related enchantments and potions. Finally defeating the guardian should be an accomplishment to be proud of. This is impossible to experience if all ocean monuments of the map are made into grinders or are claimed for private use. Designate one monument as protected from grinderitis, charge admission to the biggest game hunting adventure on the open seas. Regenerate damage done to the monument periodically. No worries about "duping" the blocks since massive grinder projects already do that. Grinders, for better or worse, are part of the vanilla Minecraft experience - and they are invaluable for enchanting and resource acquisition. Minecraft *is* a game where adventure matters though. Preserve this for those players who want it in the mix.
  2. Below is an archive copy on the nerd.nu forums of the subreddit post in /r/mcpublic used to present a digest of the CMC Starlogs. Posts here will be separated for each log entry as opposed to one long wall of text. ________________________ Hello again, PVE! Saberfysh here. As you may know, I had spent the majority of rev 15 building and connecting a structure at (+750 +400) called CMC, also known as the Caledonia Mining Colony. With the new rev 16 soon to be upon us, I thought this would be a good time to provide the crucial backstory to the CMC plotline as context for my creations next rev. Originally I was going to produce a series of posts called CMC starlogs, with a theme towards space travel and planetary exploration, but will now present it in a full digest. This is a side story with a slight connection to the Unity storyline created by Buzzie from rev 11 and will serve as companion material to existing PVE lore. In any case, I look forward to potential interactions this may have with various factions on PVE, especially ones who are futuristic or related to Unity lore. For those who hate reading, the TL;DR is: I'm from another planet and my ship was shot down by alien Storm, killing the rest of my crew. With the help of robots onboard, I built the CMC and survived this rev learning alot about the planet; Next rev is about me constructing a spaceship. EDIT: I will post the shuttle crash log first, then add more material and forum links in the future. Stay tuned!

  3. Hey guys. It's that time where we are getting the map for next rev put together. This is the call for all of your skills - we need people to help do a few things around spawn. I'll have some details below, let one of us know if you'd like to help beautify spawn or make secrets and you can be added to the whitelist. To get there after you are whitelisted do [redacted] (note if you do this from P you will display a "<user> has left the game" message. From the lobby it may show you connecting to dev...pls be sneaky. 1) Do not modify the weird floating island thing. Or any of the buildings/pathways surrounding it. These are my babies and I will find you (this means you zburd). Feel free to explore it though - I am hoping to be able to remove a lot of the 'wall of text' stuff that we have in spawn but that will depend on a bit of technical magic so more to come on that. "you can look, but pls to not touch" 2) The edges of spawn really REALLY REALLY need some landscaping help. I've been working on it but it's been very slow going and I'm hoping more hands and a different set of eyes will help with the areas I haven't finished. tl;dr - if the landscape looks square and meh pls to make it nicer. 3) spawn portal - I'm going to play with some ideas, but if you've got one that will fit in the green box at spawn let me know. I am always up for sharing the work wealth. Build something and if it works we can see about using it. 4) decorations - spawn is a bit plain-jane at the moment. It really needs trees, or plants, or gardens, or *something* to make it look better. This is where I know you guys will do well, just from seeing past builds :D Make it pretty! 5) secrets - feel free to add some spawn secrets if you wish. Holler if you need help or direction, I'm usually around. As always we haven't announced the official date yet for the rev so please do not leak that this is happening. Also any information about the map/spawn/anything is also considered secret - please do not share it. My last suggestion is if you want to help out I'd do it sooner rather than later...you know...just in case.
  4. For those who don't know, I did the showcase video of the last P revision (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77yDpBVT55A). Currently we're at the point, that I need to plan this rev's video, which means I'll need locations! The easiest way to do this really, if for you to request a /place for your town if you don't already have it. You can request a /place via modreq and padmins will use their consideration giving it. (Small personal settlements don't really get a /place). So if you don't have a place and have no intention of getting one either, but you think the spot would be worthy of showing in the showcase video, please provide the following info: Name of the place: Maker: Coordinates: (at minimum I'll need the coordinates) I welcome all suggestions! Don't be afraid to submit all cool places you can think of on the map, but if it already has a /place, then no need!
  5. The end of the Rev is less than a week away and that means it is time for the end of Rev festivities! What better way to celebrate the end of the Rev than by dieing a few hundred times to Doppelgangers? Join us this Tuesday 1/5 at 5PM PST (8PM EST) for the brawl. Timezone Converter Pictures on how to get to Nightoak. You can also follow the black wool from the portal to Nightoak. If you would like to help out by donating to Nightoak we are in dire need of diamonds for doppelgangers. We are providing the following gear for the fight but please feel free to bring your own gear!

  6. After tonight's staff meeting I thought it would be good to get your input on some of the P policies to help us make them more fair for everyone. The intent is to help us refine some of our policies to make it more fun / less strict while also making sure we stay fair to all players and do not appear to be giving staff any unfair advantages. Post below any suggestions you have for any policies - new, changes, etc. We can't promise anything but the feedback will be helpful for us to make things more fun for everyone.
  7. Next weekend we will be having a very special event for EVERYONE to participate in from all servers! We will be hosting an all-admin hunt on P next weekend Saturday December 19th, 11pm EST and Sunday December 20th, 12pm EST This will be a VERY SPECIAL admin hunt, as you will not just be able to viciously murder Padmins but also Cadmins, Eadmins, Head admins, and Tech admins! For those who are new to the server or need help preparing there will be some kits available at spawn - you may want to show up a bit early to make your way out of spawn, or show up sometime beforehand to explore the map and get a feel for the land you will be hunting in. Feel free to start preparing now, you've got ALL WEEK to grind for materials and make your gear. And as usual the admins will be hard to catch :) The schedule is below - pick the time your least favorite admin is online and be ready to dance on their graves violently murder them to death. For prizes! For glory! For maybe even your head mounted in spawn for all to see your prowess with dealing death! Also make sure you are in mumble for some added hilarity as our evasive admins taunt and giggle and scream for their lives while they run from your flaming arrows. See you all next weekend! Saturday 11pm EST: - Silversunset - redwall_hp - SwitchViewz - Challenger2 - Sapphric - totemo - Bardidley - Trooprm32 Sunday 12pm EST - Silversunset - Barlimore - sirtacoface - ExcessiveToker - sir_didymus
  8. Hello everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this forum post and please keep in mind this is just off the top of my head and not 100% thought out but the beginning of what I think could be a great idea. Only a handful of you may know me, and that is probably because when I play on Nerd I only play for about the first month of a new revision before I quit and I think that happens to alot of players. After taking a look at the graph below I feel that this is the case for a lot of the players that play here early on in the revisions. When I play on PvE, after about a month I have accomplished everything that I have wanted to accomplish and with nothing else left to do, I get very bored of the game. I feel like the same thing happened to S players. This got me thinking about ways to help player retention and I came up with the idea of a Hybrid PvE / PvP server. In my mind this type of server was always the server I wanted to play on because I feel like it would be the most fun and realistic and gives the best of both worlds. Just to be clear I am in no way stating that we should turn PvE into this nor am I suggesting this as a “FIX” for Survival. I am suggesting that we attempt this as a completely new server in addition to the current servers on nerd.nu. So after reading my ideas below, if anyone has any constructive input to contribute, I would greatly appreciate it. Obviously this type of server won’t appeal to certain PvE and certain PvP players, and I understand that. If it doesn't appeal to you please don't post in this thread as that isn’t the intended purpose. Anyway, here is my idea so far: The hardest part and largest barrier that will come from this, is creating an effective balance of both play styles. Players can create towns. These players would then be allowed to claim land based on the amount of players in their town. While within the "claimed land" of their town or of a town they have an allegiance with they would be invulnerable to PvP damage. While outside in the wilderness or inside a town they are rivals with, they are vulnerable to PvP Players could self-designate PvP Zones within towns that would allow members of that town or allied members of that town the ability to PvP one another. If a player inside their town attacks an outside town member, the player would then be flagged for PvP for a variable amount of minutes removing their PvP vulnerabilities within their town. Players fighting within their town would be granted a slight bonus to damage output and damage reduction I also think making towns create PvP and Spleef arenas and then having server ran PvP and Spleef Leagues / Events would help with the longevity of the game. ALLIES, ENEMIES, and NEUTRAL Declaring Enemies: Declaring another town as an enemy means you are hostile towards them. If both towns declare each other enemies then the PvE conditions of those towns cease to exist between members of those towns. This would allow for strictly PvP oriented towns to attack one another at will. Declaring Allies: Declaring allies would protect you from other players when visiting allied towns Declaring Neutral between two towns would set the flags back to the standard. Declaring Neutral from Allied or Enemy would take a variable amount of time to prevent abuse Declaring Neutral Nerd has always traditionally been a vanilla based server which is respectable, however, the base game can only take you so far and ignoring additions that can accent the game I feel hurts the community overall. I would want to add plugins like mcMMO – Is a plugin that adds RPG qualities, experience, and abilities to the game. Everything about this plugin can be configured to suit the needs of the community and achieve balance in the game. The plugin offers both PvP and PvE abilities. The PvE abilities are nice. Take a look at “Tree Feller” for instance. “Tree Feller” allows you to chop down an entire tree in one swing at the expense of the durability of your tool. This ability can only be used so often (configurable) and recharges so often (configurable). Also depending on the amount of EXP you have in the Tree Cutting ability, this allows you to chop down bigger and bigger trees at once. For instance if you are level 0 and you try to chop down a large tree it won’t work. Many of the PvE abilities are similar to this one. There are PvP abilities too, however, I would disable them as they make the game very unbalanced due to the nature of the abilities. One of the cool things I like about mcMMO is the fact you can view all of the stats of players on a website. Below are a few of the pages from the site which I have access to the html files. · Statistics – is a plug that gives a ton of in depth stats about everything going on in the server a lot more than the current nerd.nu/usage stats. For a sample of what it shows you can look at this link http://blockynights.com/stats/ · An Economy Plugin – some type of an economy based plugin would be nice for various reasons and functions. Maybe make iron the currency and disable Iron Golems from dropping Iron making it more valuable and not abundantly available. · A Player Chest Shop Plugin – I think allowing players to sell items for the above currency would make the game more interesting from a PvE perspective. Those are the plugins I would 100 percent add in addition to the server and I can think of some others but for now am leaving them out of the initial discussion. POSSIBILITIES: Raiding: I was thinking of some type of raiding aspects but I don’t know how to balance them especially with the fact that I doubt any PVE player would want it to be a possibility. Personally I think it is ridiculous that you can lock as many chests as you want but also don’t think it is fair for someone to just open yours and get everything, especially if you are not online to defend it. What i was thinking would be Maybe some type of reinforcement system so it makes it harder to break / unlock the chest Offline protections so that it can’t be touched if no one was on to defend it A warning system to those online when a chest is being broken into Maybe only allow a variable amount of items to be removed from a raided chest per 24 hour period Weekly Wars: (pez252 idea) At the start of each week towns could sign up to join the weekly war At the end of the week whichever town has the most kills against other weekly war towns could be given a prize Obviously this would have to be monitored to prevent abuse Influence: (Waterslide’s idea) The amount of time you spend in an area the more influence you have in that area granting you more damage output and damage reduction up to a certain point. This would allow players the ability to better protect themselves in areas the frequent the most. The issue I see really comes down to the PvP aspects of the game. I can’t think of a way to include PvP, in addition to what I have already stated, that would not make PvE players not want to play and I think that is where my idea needs the most help. Thanks for reading my idea and as I stated before, if anyone had any constructive input to contribute I would greatly appreciate it. Sincerely, Blockbuster

  10. Hi there everyone! First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for their congratulations and such. I can't wait to work with everyone, staff and members alike, to help bring great things to all our servers. Next, I have had a few people ask me and other admins questions regarding my new position. To answer the first question I've been asked: yes, I do have quite a few ideas for different events for each of the servers and can't wait to set them in motion. Some time this week I hope to meet with all the server admins to discuss ideas and time frames so we can start things as soon as possible. In addition to the new events I will be running, I will also be hosting the moderator run arenas on Survival, speed builds on Creative, and (hopefully/possibly) that lovely game of Spleef on PvE. In regards to the Event server, what I hope to do is host three to four major events on it a year. The Head Admins and I are already discussing getting a donation event set up, so be looking out for that! All the other events will be hosted on our current servers: Survival, PvE, and Creative. I also want to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to the community to bring any ideas they have for possible events. My idea with this is not to take over any ideas the members of our community have but work along side you to make it happen. This way we can work together as a team to make our servers as great as possible. If you have any ideas, please don't hesitate to PM me here on the forums. Another way to reach me is IRC; if I am working at the office then just message LRO|Office instead of LadyRavenOwl. All of you are also more than welcomed to message me via Steam, my username is LadyRavenOwl. Speaking of Steam, another thing that I will start directing is Steam Events! I am looking forward to extending our community and having fun outside our virtual legos. If you have any ideas for that, hit me up and we can talk about it!

    The Switch Switch

    We'd like to share the news that SwitchViewz is moving to the P Admin team! SwitchViewz has a notable interest and passion for supporting P, which has translated into countless hours played and modreqs closed there. SwitchViewz has been assisting as a moderator since May 2014 and as of April 2015, has been a part of the event admin team. I am very interested to see the new dynamic of the P admin team, with the addition of SwitchViewz.
  12. I have gathered the replies to the whenisgood page and it appears that the time with the most player availability is Sunday November 22 I will create a channel in mumble shortly beforehand for the meeting, please pm or post below any addition topics or questions you have - if I know ahead of time I can prepare a better answer. I will also plan to be in mumble Sunday morning between 10am-11am est if anyone can't make the evening meeting and wants a chat. Hope to see you there!!!! http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=PvE+community+meeting&iso=20151122T18&p1=43&ah=1
  13. Hello moderators! Thanks to the efforts of redwall_hp and totemo moderators are now able and allowed to flow dispensers on P (this means you do not need to /elevate them anymore!!) Dispenser flows follow the same moderation guidelines as normal water/lava, make sure it will not grief any builds or cause issues, and you may flow your own dispensers as long as you have cleared what you can from the modreq queue. Feel free to try it out in /warp testarea - i have set up three dispensers on the wall for you to play with. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. INSTRUCTIONS To flow a dispenser type /i blazerod 1 to give yourself 1 blaze rod - this is the tool used to flow dispensers. With the blaze rod in hand, click the front opening of the dispenser as if you were placing a block to check the status of the dispenser. Your screen should show the following SafeBuckets query: (world x y z) is UNSAFE ← this dispenser is flowing SafeBuckets query: (world x y z) is SAFE ← this dispenser is NOT flowing To toggle the dispenser between safe and unsafe, click the front of the dispenser as if you were breaking a block. You should see a notification pop up with one of the following messages: SafeBuckets toggle (world x y z) is now SAFE ← this dispenser is NOT flowing SafeBuckets toggle (world x y z) is now UNSAFE ← this dispenser is flowing
  14. Hello PvE community! We would like to invite all of you to a PvE community meeting coming up in the next few weeks. The goal of this meeting is to have a chance to sit down and have a chat about how PvE is going - things you want, things that work well, things that don’t work well, or any other questions or ideas you may have. I’ve set up a whenisgood page to try to schedule this meeting when the most players are online. If the turnout is divided we can look into having two meetings so everyone who wants to attend can find a time when they are awake. Please click the link below, select your time-zone from the drop down box, and highlight any times you are available to meet. I suggest *not* doing this on a mobile phone, the mobile interface is a bit cumbersome. http://whenisgood.net/cifih7y Once we have a date set more information (such as an agenda) will be posted. Thanks!
  15. So I have always had a few issues with my favorite resource pack (Ovo's Rustic Redemption) but I continue to use it because, well, it's still my favorite. One of the main issues is signs. I'm bringing this up now because of the Halloween event. When I went to trick-or-treat at spawn of course the signs looked weird they said, "YOUR WILL BE". Knowing my issue I switched to default to read the signs properly. This has not been the case for everyone. Last night and again this morning there have been numerous players who have lost stuff to the trick-or-treat Gods. I guess in a way, they got tricked. Someone even posted about it on the subreddit this morning https://www.reddit.com/r/mcpublic/comments/3qdckj/the_darkest_reaches_of_halloween/ Would it be possible to have standardized signs in PvE? Someone once helped me find a standard banner mod (because they were glitched in Ovo's and all the banners were plain white). This way players could use whatever resource pack they wanted yet we could be assured that's signs were readable by all. Thank you, cujobear
  16. I'm getting an error trying to log into PvE currently. It says "Failure to connect to server: error lookup up user" I was just on a couple of days ago so I'm not sure why it's not working now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  17. Ambrosia has an autofarm. It's broken. It looks like it's been griefed, and it's reported as such to mods sometimes. It may or may not be protected under 'ambrosia' but it's certainly within our land claim. I've had a volunteer willing to adopt this seemingly-abandoned build and fix it up. The builder ('McSquizzy') hasn't been online for a while (circa six weeks, I think). I've sent him a Reddit PM; no response yet, but it's not been long. If he doesn't reply, or replies and says No: what's the deal? Is it in line with rules and practice to allow someone to take over the build? Cheers, ~Sasch
  18. All praise redwall_hp, master of liquid! Before the rev start redwall built this really nifty thing that allows you to flow liquids *within a selection* rather than using the waterbucket. Admins have been testing it, and as of today mods are now able to flow water/lava using the command /sb flowsel The max size of the selection you are allowed to flow is 30x30x1 (or 900 blocks in any other configuration). If you try to select an area that is bigger you'll get an error message and it wont allow the flow. Just be careful, there is no *undo* for this function, use the same care you would with the water bucket. This is very useful for flowing floating water or ponds (ahem*guardian grinders*ahem). But be careful - flowing 30x30 in a grinder *can* cause a little bit lag so just be cautious when you use it for that purpose. Since the lag issue has been pretty much fixed I haven't seen an issue, just a point to note. Below is a preview of how it looks. Feel free to pop under spawn to /warp testarea if you'd like to test it in safety!
  19. So, as you all know PvE is faced with a bit of a lag problem, currently we have tried a lot of things but I am personally running out of ideas. Now you are all smart people, and full of great ideas, and we are very much open to any suggestion you may have. Below is a braindump of the current state, and will be updated as we progress. Thank you very much for your understanding as we work through this, and any assistance you can provide. Problem: Shits laggy yo, currently unknown trigger or steps to reproduce, appears to be related to people joining the server in some instances but not always.

  20. Hello everyone, We currently believe one of the main sources of the lag affecting the servers is a result of a failing SSD on our main box. The techadmins are in the process of moving the necessary data from the failing SSD to our secondary box before contacting the host to replace the SSD. We don't know how long this will take since it depends on the availability of our techadmins and our host. This may result in some downtime for some of our serveries including pve, creative, CS:GO, website, etc., so make sure to keep an eye on the subreddit and forums for any further announcements. Other things are also being done and looked into and we will make further announcements once there is something to update you guys on.
  21. Come one come all to the first padmin hunt of the rev! Can you catch a Randomnatrix in the tall grass? Maybe you can snag a Trooprm hiding behind a tree! Or perhaps you can find Sapphric catching up on his sleep somewhere (just listen for the snoring). Try your hand at catching a Silversunset before she disappears behind a mountain, and take your last shot at picking off Buzzie somewhere (totally not in the jungle). Padmin hunting will begin at 9:15 EDT Friday the 18th (shortly after the restart) and go until the last of us are dead. Prizes will be won and fun will be had (well, unless you’re a padmin, then it will be more terror and mayhem). And as an added bonus all nether portals will be ON for the event, how about that!
  22. Seeing as we have some new policies on P, and some newer mods or mods who mainly live on C or S who have been visiting more often, I thought it would be a good time to have an open P training / Q&A / refresher for anyone who's interested. Ideally everyone should come, especially as the intent is for this to be an open Q&A as well as server specific training or a refresher for everyone - especially with the new policies we've added for this rev. I've set up a whenisgood page to try to find out when people are available. I'd suggest NOT doing this on your phones, the mobile interface for this site is really not fun to use unless you really have to. You can also reply below if you're interested. I will post a final date/time once enough people have responded for us to schedule something. If the dates listed don't work we can always do multiple sessions, so don't worry about missing out, just let me know what you can do. http://whenisgood.net/2df2hjx
  23. I understand why you haven't implemented this so far, with you wanting us to figure out how the zodiac portals work. I honestly love them, it gives us a reason to explore other cities. We already have this website made by runereader to show what portals are up, could we have an ingame command as well? Something like /zodiac that when ran shows which portals are open and how long until the next restart. ie, "Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn. 25 minutes remaining". I think this feature would benefit players, because they wouldn't have to tab out to view a third party website and risk 'splosions via Gerstein's cousins.
  24. tl;dr pre-region, within land claim and reserved plot build raised several questions Hello Everyone, Something's cropped up in Ambrosia that overlaps several policies; I didn't just want to make a modreq until I'd gotten some opinions or rulings. --- We currently don't have our region established - it's on my to-do list for the next few days, so we could have some builds in place first. Ambrosia did its big start-of-rev land claim, all properly marked up with fences and signs. There were also a small number of plot reservations within that claim - one was reserved right next to the portal and was/is destined to be the primary surface entrance to a huge cave system that's being substantially remodelled into 'Underbrosia'. That plot reservation was (after a bit of accidental building-on) cordoned-off with two-high fences and signed - it would be pretty difficult to mistake its 'reserved' state. On Saturday just gone (5 Sept), a user built on this reserved plot - specifically, built a perfect replica of a naturally-generated village's blacksmith's house. They broke down a hole in the plot fence to allow access. I'm afraid I wasn't on to see what happened, and no-one else in Ambrosia seems to know any more than I do. This user isn't an 'Ambrosian regular'. I was hoping to have this build removed. I /mail'd the user; they replied asking to join Ambrosia; I said Sure, but they'd have to remove the build first. I've had no reply to this. The build is still there; the user hasn't logged-on since Saturday. --- If I have the 'ambrosia' region created, it will have to encompass this build (it's right in the centre of town). I will either: have to add the user as a region member (or leave him added, if he's added by default at region creation) - I'm not keen to have the user as a region member leave the user un-added (or remove him, if he's added by default at region creation) - this would, as I understand it, effectively alienate him from his build ... I don't feel either's a particarly good choice, and I'm not confident the build will be removed before I want to create the region. --- Is the plot reservation enforcable by staff action? Does this build come under the new guidelines for P land claims, seeing as it is within Ambrosia's claim? This may be theoretical, but I think it's relevant here: if (if, this is conjecture) the user came through the Ambrosia portal within the land claim - so, without crossing the claim border and without seeing any signs - can the requirement to respect land claims be said to exist? They might not have the forewarning that's in the spirit of the land claim policy. Have I met the standard for 'fair warning' of the user if the build can be removed? Can one consider a reproduction of a natural blacksmith's house to be a 'substantial build', or is it more akin to a cobble box? --- As always, looking for the solution that causes least aggro, is most in keeping with rules and policies, and isn't unnecessarily punitive. Thanks in advance, ~Sasch
  25. Ok, I have a idea for a new "minigame" for the next PvE rev. I call it the homeless challenge The rules are as follows. The challenge starts when the pve rev starts . If you die once you are eliminated from the homeless challenge You CAN'T create a chest or a place of storage You MUST get food from public places You CAN'T use a bed Scoring is determined by the following : How long you have been alive LOGGED IN without making a bed The idea for this challenge is to simulate a homeless population on PvE. Before PvE ends I will look at logs to see if you followed the rules using logblock. Post your name in this thread if you want to compete. I will be a participant in this game next PvE rev but I will ask for an admin to verify my score. I may write a post on each week .
