MasterCommaThe Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 And now there are about 8 spider spewing alters around the map (and more than a couple in the jungle): There are also a number of "Skeleton fountains" and "Creeper Saunas" (including one infested swamp).

Silversunset01 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I added a smidge of pretty to the obstacle race. Just to hide the "floating island" bits :) it was bothering me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterCommaThe Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 What do you think about adding a protected sheep spawner with the opposing team's colored wool near each base? I think it would introduce an interesting dynamic.That would give each team another object enticing them to get close to the other team's base as well as another object they should want to defend and prevent the other team from reaching.

I agree it would be an interesting plot twist. Go for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried it will upset team balance too much if one of the spawners is secured by the other team - an away team that secures the spawner can easily set up and maintain a siege of the home team's base (by dropping their color wool around the exits) and shuttle flags home while the home team is occupied with breaking the siege and just getting out of base. It'll take a lot of effort to regain footing once it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c45y Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I see the 24 hour post has gone live. It tells me nothing about the event other than a bunch of hard to read images. If I'm a new player drawn here from advertising or word of mouth I don't have historical knowledge of this event, so tell me what it's all about! On that note, did we decide not to advertise? I would be curious to know why we decided against it. Edit: We should have at least given the server address. Is it nerd.nu? e.nerd.nu? this is somewhat important Edited June 5, 2015 by c45y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take a lot of effort to regain footing once it happens. After discussion with SwtichViewz we've decided it would be best not to throw in this wrench at this time. Perhaps we can run a small (12hr) CTF event or something that will allow us to test dynamics like this at another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterCommaThe Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Word is this morning (from c45y) that the new lobby will go unused in favor of the established and already implemented lobby. So because I think we created a really fantastic volcano anyway here are some images of it below to mourn it's passing: Big thanks to kittypuppet and zburdsal for making this happen!

So because I think we created a really fantastic volcano anyway here are some images of it below to mourn it's passing: Zburd that's what I was trying to do with my testing!!! I'm glad someone made it work - it can't be pasted into the world somewhere as just a landscape feature or secret cave? (IIRC the inside is hollow. Would make a interesting g treasure find or mob spawner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwitchViewz Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 @MasterCommaThe: That looks awesome! Though I don't see why we can't use it for a lobby if it is done. My IRC is currently broke and I can't get in, if someone wants to see about using it ping a tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterCommaThe Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 It would be a great lobby, but c45y practically bit my head off this morning when I started talking about using it. He said:"I have no idea if we could get a tech to load it and then relink the portals in the 12 ish hours we have to do it" "not worth the effort" ...and after a bit more explaining: "MasterCommaThe: can you just let it go" "we don't need buildings" "we need rest and people during the event" "not wearing themselves out beforehand" "the lobby isnt going to happen, but the world still needs changes" So I took that as the final word. It's ready to go, if you know how to make it happen, please do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Former Staff Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I don't think selectively editing parts of a conversation here is productive. Can we keep the focus on-topic please (despite this topic about to run it's course)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwitchViewz Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I see absolutely no reason why we shouldnt use the lobby espcially since I got on zburdsal and he and several others put a lot of effort into it. To end the discussion and arguing, were using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c45y Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 It would be a great lobby, but c45y practically bit my head off this morning when I started talking about using it. He said: -- snip -- So I took that as the final word. It's ready to go, if you know how to make it happen, please do. I've been kinda stewing over this all day, my initial reaction was a giant fuck you for taking things totally out of context, I totally overreacted to the situation and had a go at Switch, who was just trying to do his job. In the interest of whatever future interactions we have together MasterCommaThe I would like to apologize if what I said to you sounded harsh or mean, that was not my intention, I had your interests at heart and was trying to prevent you from wasting time on a project I thought could not be completed in the time left to us. The way I talk to to others is something that has declined as my frustration has grown at certain aspects of nerd.nu, it is something I have to continue to work to improve. In the interest of clarification for those not a part of IRC I have provided the full log of our interactions at the following url https://gist.github.com/stevommmm/d8b1eacb29831317ec17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterCommaThe Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Thank you c45y, sorry for my part in our negative interaction, and I look forward to working with you in the future. No damage done in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwitchViewz Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Once the final closing post is made I will riffle through everything here to make sure it is moveable, then with the head admins conscent send it on it's way to the archives.
