    Fixed Blast Furnace. Needed a quick circuit restart.



    A couple diamonds should be enough. I don't have much attention on the server atm so whatever you think is fair will do.

    Quote from Prince_Deity

    Sith are better.

    But that'd mean there would be an on-going struggle for power between the new and senior mods until the plot demanded their sudden but inevitable betrayal where the apprentice bests the master in a raging battle involving knowledge of the force and incredible saber-skills becoming the turning-point of the new mod into a full fledged dark sith lord.

    Not too bad actually, yet this is for the sake of the forums, I don't know if Apprentices killing their masters might help much around here.
    Quote from Nimphina

    A comprehensive break down of each Warning, with an explanation of what they are to be used for and a few real-world examples perhaps?

    Also I think this can be done eventually, something for new moderators to fallback when in doubt. I am used to having a document for my so-called "Templates" that would copy-paste in the infraction message and in this document often include a lengthy reasoning of the warning. More than once I've had to re-read this reasons to make sure the warning was appropriate to each specific case. As we all know, most often than not, we don't find textbook-examples of offending posts in the forums. Which brings me to;
    Quote from M4WL

    I think we should make example reports and train them using reports. Telling them what they did wrong and their punishment for it.

    Which is very good, but don't think it should be used extensively. While they will allow new moderators to get comfortable with the tools provided I think having the "theory" of Moderation is quite important, and let them know its ok to take a day or 2 to catch up on all the regulations and guidelines of their respective section.

    Thoughts?

    Please help!

    Open up task manager, if you ran a server without a GUI it may be running in the background. Check for processes called "javaw.exe" and terminate them.(Make sure you are not running the Minecraft Client, that one is called javaw too)

    I was about to suggest a mentoring thing too, KioriBug Summed it up pretty well. Just to provide a little bit of more input, first days on the Team I had some recurring questions and personally thought to bug an admin over such issues would be rude. I think having an Admin make the welcome aboard and then appointing a Senior Mod or Mentor would be a great way to have new members get accommodated and jumpstart them sort to speak.

    I think some of the FAQ by new moderators would be simple stuff that only require a second opinion or a nudge in the right direction, the IRC is great for this but having a "direct line" to someone would certainly encourage friendship and trust amongst the new members.

    I'm thinking of a Jedi-Padawan relationship. Have the IRC Channel be the Jedi Council. plz.

    I do not know if this have been acknowledged already but seeing Item #14 I notice that part of the development is focused on usability and accessibility so I thought of mentioning this taking that item as a base.

    • Currently suspended members for accumulated points or otherwise appear as (Banned) for everyone to see.
    I think this would certainly be super confusing for both the person who received the suspension and those who read the content generated by them. A great example of this is I recently reviewed a report mentioned how OP appeared as (Banned) and requested for all his(OP's) content to be removed.

    If this has already been mentioned (And already in the 149 items) then disregard this message.

    Thanks for the update!

    So if I'm paying you -2 quartz... Does that means that I am receiveing quartz? This server is incredible! where do I vote to receive diamonds? do we have donation perks?

    Quote from Hazali

    Seriously though, added rolandostar and totally not the IGN in your post before closing Minecraft, making me realize that's not actually your IGN, reopening Minecraft and adding you for real.
    sometimes i should pay more attention to things maybe

    Anyways the building is for the most part, complete. Thanks to baggerboot and Lyyti who did the finishing touches and made it look much nicer.



    All is missing is redstoning, I'll be wiring a daylight sensor to hide that glowstone at day, and turn off the lamps too.

    I'll probably start building a nicer, fancy Quartz fence given the time. Hope this will bring some people over to improve spawn.


    And there's now an AFK Fish farm too! /warp fishing will get you to it, although the machine itself works I'm still missing making it pretty and writing some instructions for it. It doesn't work as well as I'd like since 1.7 tripwire now blocks direct sunlight for fishing, but I'm on it, see what I can do. (Already caught 2 great bows, 1 saddle, 1 nametag and Power IV Book in roughly 2 hours AFK-time)

    A slime-farm is next on the list, more slimeballs are needed for that wither farm!

    Somethings wrong. They've been like that for 15 minutes now. I think the crystal is doing something to them! What have I done! D:


    EDIT: Day 3, My friends haven't show any sign of recovery, I've tried all sorts of means to get through them, nothing seems to work, they are just babbling and staring at the crystal.
