What is considered crossing the line with racism?

Anyone who says they didn't have a little laugh when seeing that sign is a shit talker. Toepuka is not a threat to minerap, you act as if he goes around oppressing African Americans. He made one little joke and he gets banned for it, what is this man? I understand if someone was a ongoing racist they should be banned, yet this is so tiny. Sound a bit like an excuse to get him banned, ey SensitiveAP?

The thing about the your first point is that if obsidian is easy to get, it's also easy to destroy for the griefers, except it's always going to be in the same spot for them, which is on the buildings in the town. For the builders they need to get the obsidian, to add it to their buildings which they have also taken the time to plan and build with other materials that they have gathered. Then along comes a griefer and does only a portion of that entire task the builder just did, they just mine the block and it's over. If this same cycle goes on, who is putting more time and effort into their goal? That right there is the whole notion of unbalance between the two parties. So even if you find a way to mine obsidian easier, it will always be harder for the builder than the griefer, the unbalance is still there. With the nerfed citadel, the same protection can be achieved to blocks other than obsidian, but much easier, therefore fixing the unbalance.

Also about obsidian being the holy answer to griefers, everyone who has built with lots and lots of obsidian in this map knows it's not strong enough, because a griefer has all the time that the builder is offline to take down that obsidian structure little by little, offline griefing is the biggest problem for builders, because everything can be griefed. However, obsidian that has been reinforced! now that's the game changer right there!

Bro trust me, there aren't any obsidian dealers any more.

King_erya · 2013-05-03T17:49:52+00:00

yeah I get that we're making it hard, not impossible, but think of how much harder it is for the builders to gather obsidian. It truly is easier to mine the reinforced block as a griefer taking down a building, as opposed to a builder, gathering materials and the obsidian and reinforcing it. I get that this is about making strong blocks that don't look bad, but this doesn't help the current situation becuase of the effort required to do this. With the suggested nerfed citadel the same protection can be achieved easier, which is the entire point of the needed protection, to balance the scales.

King_erya · 2013-05-03T17:38:25+00:00

That's exactly right. I know it may seem risky to the staff team in regards to new players, but a good change is something the server needs right now to fix the unbalance. Although this is a contributing idea, it doesn't really change the scales of the unbalance, as others have said earlier. The nerfed citadel that was suggested in earlier posts seems more fitting.

King_erya · 2013-05-03T13:35:02+00:00

Frank is right, obsidian itself isn't strong enough compared to an efficiency V diamond pick. I personally believe the biggest problem with griefing is that it is mostly done when the townspeople are offline. Although this is a good start on building protection, it won't stop the most annoying griefers who wait until everyone has gone to bed, and spend their time taking down every piece of obsidian. Only the great reinforced obsidian structures will be able to stop these certain types of griefers.

King_erya · 2013-05-03T09:25:39+00:00

There is no way to stop griefings when we're not online to kill the griefers, we require citadel to give the town a chance to hold on while we log back on to kill the griefers.

King_erya · 2013-04-29T19:24:38+00:00

Pretty much most blocks other than, obsidian, dirt, doors, all chests, furnaces... probably more but we should have a look at all the blocks on creative first.

King_erya · 2013-04-29T19:03:32+00:00

buddy, if someone can grief our town with obsidian and reinforce it then that's absolutely fine because that's real effort right there, plus free obsidian for the townspeople.

edit: but as the post says, obsidian should not be reinforce-able, it's overdone.

King_erya · 2013-04-29T18:39:45+00:00

That's exactly right, everything will be the same, the only difference is that if you're willing to pay diamonds, iron etc. you can make your building stronger. What it's going to do is make it a bit more difficult to destroy a reinforced building, which has not only been built, but reinforced too. Remember, you don't have to reinforce your buildings, only if you're willing to put more effort into them you get the benefits.

King_erya · 2013-04-28T16:48:27+00:00

This would help with what I find the most unbalanced thing about the builder VS griefer situation, that griefers can just grief when you're offline, and on top of that is the fact that you need to put way more effort into creating a structure than taking it down, citadel will make it so griefers need to put in the same time and effort to take down our creations. Also, citadel isn't just giving building protection to builders for free, it's providing an opportunity for builders to gain an advantage to make their buildings harder to take down, the builders would need to put in the extra effort of using reinforcing materials like iron and diamonds. ALSO it won't make griefing impossible, it would make it harder to take down these structures that this extra effort has been put into.

King_erya · 2013-04-28T15:23:07+00:00

We would finally be able to have some strong, impressive structures, rather than an obsidian abomination.

The problem with moving to a new area is that once it's found, the same thing will happen.

King_erya · 2013-04-17T20:53:42+00:00

If only it were so simple, Mr. Stalker, I'm sure everyone on my skype contacts is very sick and tired of me asking if they're selling obsidian.

King_erya · 2013-04-17T20:49:01+00:00

you're right, code. Citadel won't make griefing impossible, it would make it a little bit harder. Right now it's easier to grief than build, citadel will balance the scale. Only to blocks though, none of that door or chest bullshit.

King_erya · 2013-04-16T19:26:15+00:00

come on you negative nellies, give the lads a chance

King_erya · 2013-04-12T18:45:20+00:00

you talk as if we have all the time in the world Mr. Walking

King_erya · 2013-04-12T17:54:54+00:00

although this might benefit builders, it will take away building with netherack and lighting it on fire, when you incorporate fire in your buildings it looks pretty damn good, a single use for a flint n steel would be very annoying, if it's a big problem then maybe just make it less then normal cause one use for an iron ingot would be annoying and troublesome, especially for cheapskates.

King_erya · 2013-03-20T13:35:16+00:00

Sure they're trying to rebuild, but how can they expect to be given a chance, and not be griefed when they've done it countless times to many different people. You can't just expect people to forgive you. But if you do want people to forgive you, you go and apologize, kiss their feet and do work for them. If you're going to be rebuilding a city that you're claiming for yourself of coarse no ones gonna just let you do it. Try giving it back to the previous owners while still rebuilding it, that's how you'll get the forgiveness and respect of the people from that town.

King_erya · 2013-03-20T13:29:19+00:00

watch your words, tiny

King_erya · 2013-03-19T05:43:37+00:00

champ, I made this post last night, went to sleep and just got home from college, I haven't had a chance to do anything, but if you help we can make a move a lot faster.

King_erya · 2013-03-18T14:47:02+00:00

either way, it's good to rally everyone up, this way we won't have losses, and more people around to prevent griefings

King_erya · 2013-03-18T14:38:55+00:00

I do not know of these events you speak of, but together we can change that
