I would like to comment on this situation as well since you guys seem to be upset solely at Msraelix. I was the one that began initial discussions about having you two removed from the server, and I did that quite some time ago. Msraelix is a passionate person and you may think this was a sudden decision. It was not. I will admit that I don't know the details about what happened last night, but this was not a product of Msraelix's emotions.
The reasons Deek and I don't think that you are a good fit for this server are on full display in your posts here in this thread. You seem to be incapable of understanding that you guys are less than perfect, and you both want to tell her and everyone on this forum that we did something incorrectly. That is exactly the issue that led to this. Reread your posts and see how critical you are of her and by extension the server, while not accepting responsibility for any wrongdoing. I, for one, fully admit that I am an imperfect person. I tell everyone on the server that I am a terrible mod, and it's true. The only reason Deek made me OP was because I play the most and I'm honest. Brutally honest.
So, here comes that honesty. I feel that I can't stack two blocks on top of each other without you guys telling me that I did it wrong and that I should have stacked them like ilmango instead. Since I built all the large community farms on the server, it upsets me to be insulted. I don't once remember either of you guys saying something like, "hey the gold farm looks great, thanks for building it". Instead you would tell me that there was a better version than what I built, but then you would of course use the farm. It's tiresome to listen to critical comments for this many months, especially when a lot of my time is spent trying to better the server as a whole. And the endless questions about the server host! You act like you asked once and dropped it. And recruiting. And updating. And the terrain mod. And server settings. And mob heads. And the world border. And weather. And a million other things.
You treated the mods like we are accountable to you, but we're not. There were many times that I would log on to the server and not be able to just relax and play the game without answering questions (rarely to your liking) or feeling as if I should have done something better. You guys made it so that the game I enjoy was not very fun sometimes. If I were on your server, I would have just left. But since this server is owned by my good friend Deek, and since he has entrusted me to help run it, I am not leaving.
To be clear, I understand the amount of time you guys have spent on the server. I also understand that you never stole or griefed, or anything else of major significance. If anyone asked I could tell them truthfully that you guys are active, dedicated players.I just can't take any more criticism or answer any more questions.
Since you decided to post this where everyone can read it, including potential new players, I want to say that this server isn't for everyone. If you are not capable of just relaxing, chatting and building, then look elsewhere.
I never commented on any of your builds. You are being delusional. Every time I came to your base I told you how awesome it was. I applauded them. I love all your farms. I never said any negative statements. I stood there with great amazement. So please, don't accuse us of thing we haven't done.
But what I do understand is, that this surely started as a gossip between you mods, especially msraelix, who needed to dramatically voice her concerns. Don't take the fall for it five, I know msraelix is behind this. And that gossip has been growing behind our backs. We had no ill-fated motions whatsoever to any of you, yet you had for us unbeknownst to us!
Msraelix has some kind of grudge towards us, she doesn't talk to us for weeks anymore. Even after saying hi to her, she doesnt respond. I am sure she is behind all this. It is her way or no way. She is the tyrant mod and five and deek are easily tamed.
I really enjoyed playing at this server, I thought it was the best server I played on. And I said so to newcomers and friends as well. I have totally relaxed, chatted and built on the server. As a member I sometimes have a right to voice concerns, but that is only for the best of the server. not for myself. Mars and I were the most active players together with Five, Grandma and Barbosa. Msraelix and Deek are barely playing, Joel almost NEVER plays. It's a dying server, you will see that soon more and more players will leave.
This is a fun server, but the mods really need to learn how to be mods. Should of warned first before banning. Not just go ahead and cold-bloodedly ban someone.
I am happy for newcomers to read these posts, so they realize the truth behind the server. The truth of inexperienced and childish mods, that make idiotic decisions because of being emotionally insulted. Geesh.

There is no gossip between mods. We talk about players and the particulars of the server. That's mods doing mod stuff. But I'm sure you're going to tell me how I should be a mod later.

Wow, there is a lot going on right there. I'm going to go with, "see what I'm saying?". For the record, Msraelix isn't the type to have a master plan. I am.

You don't have rights. This isn't court. You certainly have the ability to voice concerns, which you exercised regularly. As mods, we can chose to act or ignore when complaints occur. Being honest, after getting an ocean of complaints, suggestions and questions I quit trying to make you guys happy. Could I have done a better job as a mod? Absolutely. But at some point it gets to be too much and I can't just play the game.
Mars and I were the most active players together with Five, Grandma and Barbosa. Msraelix and Deek are barely playing, Joel almost NEVER plays.
You guys were active and dedicated members, I never said otherwise. Also, there was a mod online for several hours everyday. That's better than any server I ever played on.
It's a dying server, you will see that soon more and more players will leave.
I think there were eight people online waiting for me to post that you guys were banned so that they could raid your base. That's enough online at once.
This is a fun server, but the mods really need to learn how to be mods. Should of warned first before banning. Not just go ahead and cold-bloodedly ban someone.
BOOM NAILED IT! I said above that I knew you would tell me how to be a better mod!
I am happy for newcomers to read these posts, so they realize the truth behind the server. The truth of inexperienced and childish mods, that make idiotic decisions because of being emotionally insulted.
Indeed. If you can't log on, play for a while and enjoy chatting please don't apply. This isn't the place for you. The server is what it is and we don't like to be insulted.
Five, Thanks for being so honest and straightforward at the same time. I do not back the way my brother chooses his wordings, but I had said what I had to say, and that's where I leave it at. You are a good person with a great personality and it shines through to your actions, not letting emotions get the better of you. I appreciate that. My apologies that this had to be "in public view", and was not handled discretely, I guess all of us can be blamed for that.
Again, thanks for the good times. I surely enjoyed myself even up until the last moment! Awesome server, awesome people. You will be missed Five
Thanks Mars. You are an extremely skilled player and I wish you nothing but the best. Sorry about the drama. I failed you guys and I could have done a better job.
Many thanks for those words, but I am closing off my minecraft days. It was a long time coming, and is not caused by this event. I guess I needed that little push, so I am thankful for that. Thanks again for the good times and for offering me a place in minecraft I could call home. Best wishes and express my gratitude to Deek as well.
Its not my place to judge or comment AT ALL, but i would just point out that if Mods are paying for a server that THEY have set up, they have all the right to ban anyone. They pay to keep up a server for them to have fun as long as the "free" players to have fun. If they feel slightly threatened or feel like the "happiness" of the server will go down, ban will ensure that the happiness will be maintained. Nothing personal. Its their server. Their rules. Noone goes to Uganda's court to ask why are they doing whatever they are doing. So noone should question the acts of a mod in MC too.
Again sorry if it seems like i am intruding. Have a great day everyone and above all dont keep hard feelings to each other.
About: [/b]Full time cook in Canada, with a wife. I've been playing some minecraft servers here and there, most of the servers people tend to be alone without doing anything together (like spawn places,shops,etc) so I am hoping i can join a server that will love to have/or already have these stuff. Pretty relaxed,not getting annoyed easily (unless you fill my house with cats. then I hope you choke on that delicious pumpkin pie) Have a few hours everyday to myself so i would love to give my dwarf character a shot. Thanks in advance.
I do have a concern I am unsure if I am welcomed on the server mostly because i never made it that far before I was kicked out of the discord twice I believe. I had some life stuff happen and been a bit busy to actually finally log into the server the other day i made note of that then a few hours later i saw that I was no longer part of the discord. Did I do something wrong?
Hold on what feedback? I had not even talked to anyone or met anyone on the server
I was trying very hard not to get into details, but you won't let it go. There is enough drama in this thread and I didn't want to add any more. However, it seems I must add to it.
I received this direct message from a server member when I posted your IGN had been whitelisted:
Redstubbs is gonna be a problem fyi I played with him on another server and he steals and (EXPLETIVE DELETED) He ended up being banned from that server lol X raying as well
After I got the message, I obviously removed you from the whitelist and Discord. I don't know you and I didn't want to insult you, so I mentioned in this thread that you had been removed based on feedback from a member of our server.
Huh. This may not be the best time, in light of the last several posts, but I'd very much like the opportunity to reapply. My initial application was submitted and accepted not long after the server's inception back in January, and although I never ended up joining (a result largely borne of job-related stress), I've remained subscribed to this thread ever since, periodically checking in on the state of things here (for curiosity's sake). Having recently landed a new job that I'm hoping will be much less taxing on my time and energy, I'm now ready to begin my story on this server.
Below, I've provided a slightly updated edition of my original application.
IGN: SteadyNeurosion.
Age: 26.
Little bit about myself: I’d just completed two years of a four-year bachelor’s degree program (majoring in “Professional Writing”) when I ran some numbers and realized not only how deep into debt I’d already gotten myself, but also how deep into debt I’d be by the time I graduated. Overwhelmed by these bottom-line calculations, I opted to put my education on an indeterminate hiatus in order to stabilize my financial future.
Six years and five jobs later, I’m not sure whether that was the most farsighted decision of my life, but at least the less-regulated schedule allowed me to pursue hobbies like amateur filmmaking, weightlifting, and Minecraft, which was recommended to me in early 2012 and has proven to be an intermittent fixation ever since. I’m currently employed as an Order Selector for Bozzuto's, Inc.
As with any prospective server, what I'm looking for is a chance to partake in a reasonably absorbing multiplayer experience (the likes of which I haven't had in far too long). Based on what I’ve observed in this thread, it seems like a few of the applicants have some prior history with each other—the legacy of a previous server, if I’m not mistaken. This makes me optimistic that, should I get accepted, I’d be entering into a rich, lively atmosphere that I’d hope would stimulate and entertain me during my time here. If the most recent posts are any indication, it seems like a pretty interesting milieu.
Sure, I accepted you before and I don't see why I wouldn't do it now. You've been added to the whitelist and I'll PM you the server info. I just can't believe you still want to join after reading all that! haha

Thanks for the kind words. There is a bit more to it than that, but we're trying to make it a good place for the members that we have.
Anyway, you have been whitelisted and I sent all the server info via PM. See you online.
I do have a concern I am unsure if I am welcomed on the server mostly because i never made it that far before I was kicked out of the discord twice I believe. I had some life stuff happen and been a bit busy to actually finally log into the server the other day i made note of that then a few hours later i saw that I was no longer part of the discord.

I answered this on the previous page.

This thread is a train wreck. I think we will stop recruiting for a while.
