It's good to know people are still reading the topic, and using it, even if it's not so often. The only problem is, I've been playing a lot of TF2 and other memory-intensive games recently. This prevents me from keeping the server up while I'm playing these games. There's the obvious solution of letting someone else host the server, or the other obvious option of buying a server box, but I don't like the first one and the second one is a work in progress that isn't going very fast. The third option, dare I say it, is to actually stop being a lazy bum and running the server. This seems like a great idea, and I'll be keeping the server up way more often now. That is, if I don't forget. As for the mods the server is running, well, MCAdmin hasn't let us down as of yet, and I don't care for an HMod ripoff, even if it does allow homes. And as for those of my "regulars" that have made their own servers, and followed others to their blasphemous "sub-server"s with their fancy schmancy "mods" that can clear land and make squares very easily, well good ole fashioned shovels and picks are better for the environment... and the cobble/dirt stockpiles. I know you guys enjoy mixing creative with beta, but it's not my style, unless I'm making a castle. Making a castle from the land is something I've already done, and I don't intend to do it again. As for getting new people to join the server, we just need to bump the topic often. No big deal. Just have casual idea conversations about the server on here, just like the old server topic. You know, the one with 155 posts.
One last thing, Duke Nukem Forever, May 3, Scaly Yiffing Alien Fags Cap'n. It's all gone to alien apocalyptic women stealers.

so james just to be clear only jessie has donated and he donated 19$ us and we need if i remember with out rechecking 250$ for the server thing its gunna be along time :sleep.gif:
P.S. you could do advertisements for evony =D jk
Current ranks are, from the bottom up:
-Guests, New people who build tihngs at spawn.
-Builders, Allowed to be in the towns.
-Trusteds, Can kick people and use buckets for purposes of the watery nature.
-Ops, Can teleport to and summon people. Can ban, and promote people to builder.
-Moderators, Can do anthing Sycron can. Except hey0 stuff like setting spawn and warps.
-Admins, Can do hey0 modding, hey0 promoting (unnecessary), and demote Moderators.
-Jamesness, classified under Admin, but can use the console. Because I own the server, what did you expect?
may i suggest a new rank, omgwtfbbq in case any of the famous minecraft LPers find our server doubt full but if we can lure one into our trap we could get more traffic = more friend = more possible donaters = faster progress for server box = HAPPY... now someone get us seananners
probably the server has some security that doesn't allow people to build unless someone promotes them to builder(or just lag fest 2011), also, the only way i can think of getting seananners is to either message and email him, or hypnotize him @.@

Hey...don't insert joke about girls on the internet at me!!! cuz thats just wrong...also hooray to jessie for donating... also i would donate...but i dont have a paypal so... :sad.gif:
Guys, good job with the bumping and the great topics and whatnot. I obviously have not been paying enough attention. I also haven't been paying attention to my PayPal account, so I'll get those donator promotions through right now. Just checked, no more donations, but it's not very important at the moment. I don't know anything about running a server off of a box and it'll take some time to research how people get around to doing that. As for building the castle, Sycron has halted production indefinately until he decides to get his lazy butt on the server, or allows me to finish it myself. If he doesn't work on it in a few dayss, I'll get right on it. Sort of. Feel free to build inside the walls, but nothing more than 10 blocks high. The map size at the moment is 80MB, and MCAdmin's backup system is apparently broked because of the new map saving type.
Carry on with your shinanigans.
I would donate, if i could send paper money :/, and yeah, having the castle would be nice, we wou;dn't want it to end up like world 4 now would we =)

A new map has begun. Why so quickly? Well, it actually isn't that quick of a change, map 5 has been up for months, and no one likes it. All those votes for 5/5 were being way too generous. The map had poor resources, bad scenery, and a half-built castle that Sycron was never going to finish. The new map has better resources, interesting scenery, and it's not snowy because winter is almost over. Welcome to map six, where we're going to be building near/on mountains.
Yay we are now mountain people, but i still love my planes in SSP =P

I will be taking a break from this community for awhile, 1. because of track season 2. doesn't feel the same 3. life has its priorities, now maybe I'll come back after lent, maybe sooner, maybe later, I don't know. I don't think I'll miss too much though (as in stuff happening).

Look over there! It's the IP! 76.119.159.171 (Same for the minecraft server AND the Teamspeak server.)
GENERAL RULES OF THE SERVER:
1. No modifying other people's blocks (look, poke, but not change) This includes items in chests.
2. Read all signs, they have rules and important information on them.
3. Entering people's houses is LEGAL unless there is a sign that says otherwise next to the door.
4. No building portals. Admins will build them where necessary.
5. No gravity-defying structures. This includes, but is not limited to, flying buildings/towns, vertically asymmetrical buildings, and buildings on long stilts. Use your judgement, and if you can't decide, ask an OP or Admin.
6. Blacklisted items. See rule 7 for punishment of placement: Bedrock/Adminium, Water, Still water, Lava, Still lava, TNT, Fire, Flint and Steel, Ice, Portal Blocks, Obsidian, Mob Spawner, Lava Bucket. Water Buckets Trusted+ only.
7. If you place a block that's on the blacklist, you get a warning. Per instance afterward, you will get another warning, then kick, then a ban.
7a. If you place a different illegal block, this resets the warning cycle once. If you have been recently kicked, this sub-rule does not apply.
7b. If you accidentally open something by right clicking, and you have an illegal block in your hand, this still counts as a warning.
The server is currently running these mods:
-MCAdmin (for item blacklisting and administrative purposes)
You will not be teleported to the towns until you prove yourself to not be a troll/griefer. Until this is shown to be true and you are a nice enough person, you will be teleported to the town. Until then, just build stuff at spawn and be talkative. If you don't like to talk, build something impressive or creative, OPs like that kind of stuff.
Server Downtimes (EST, -5:00, army time):
Sundays 12:00 - Mon 10:00
Tues 9:00 - 22:00
AdmSycron and I now have a nice livestream channel at: http://www.livestream.com/obscuregamers I don't stream often, but you can look at my past experiences on the channel site, as well as watch Sycron when he streams. Sycron set up the autopilot to play past videos while we're not streaming.
New to the server:
-Pure Survival, no /give.
-Mobs and animals are on.
-Cake!!!
Hope to see you there!!!
One last thing, if anyone even gets this far, I have a paypal account set up. I'd appreciate any donations, and possibly give out some sort of prize depending on donation size, but I won't guarentee it's going to be a rank. Or maybe it will be, you know, a donator rank if enough people donate money. Any donations will be going toward getting a server box thing that runs things. My goal is $250, but who knows where I can find a cheap used one.
Just go to http://www.paypal.com, login or make an account, and send money to [email protected], just make it a payment for services, or a gift, doesn't matter.
Thank you to any and all donators, just don't donate below 50 cents, or I probably won't get any of it.
