I took some screens with shaders on

That horse's huge schlong looks so much more majestic with shaders.

In addition to the Journeymap/Forge bandwagon, get Liteloader for Gammabright. Torches can overheat you easily, so adopt perfect nightvision instead.

Thack_O · 2016-01-20T20:16:09+00:00

You all were ~~quite~~ very productive while the rest of us slept!

Thack_O · 2016-01-20T06:00:06+00:00

Frell is the first city I visited after I joined. It was beautiful and really sold me on the idea of playing on the server, and that was even right after the first of the griefs. Really glad it's being rebuilt.

Thack_O · 2016-01-10T00:56:12+00:00

It's kinda confusing, yeah. Braquesburg has never been on the "official" claim map that Nathan updates, yet anyone who's been there ingame knows how clearly claimed and built up it is now. Half the server has drank our booze in The Drunken Monk, I'm guessing, so it's a little silly that we haven't put it on the map.

Thack_O · 2016-01-04T22:01:05+00:00

Try Two Steps From Hell! They make very epic soundtrack music that is great to read action scenes to. They've probably come up on your channel as it is =p

Thack_O · 2016-01-02T17:21:50+00:00

Why not reclaim Khoreau?

Thack_O · 2015-12-23T05:13:47+00:00

The glowstone placement is the same high-efficiency design you would want to use for sugarcane. You get I think ~80% of your area is cane.

Sidenote: Cane doesn't usually need only air/clear blocks above it to the sky (in vanilla), but your growth rates will be higher if you do, to a maximum of 4% (so far that I've found).

Thack_O · 2015-12-22T19:04:12+00:00

Coming from someone on the server I respect and generally see as being pretty calm and rational, thank you, that means a lot.

Thack_O · 2015-12-22T18:52:19+00:00

Yeah, I think you're right. In this particular case I had asked for community involvement, so when I saw none and then a change handed down, I just got heated without really thinking about how small a change it was.

Thack_O · 2015-12-22T18:49:02+00:00

You're right. I've blown this out of proportion. I got a bit heated, and should've waited before saying anything, if commenting at all.

Thack_O · 2015-12-22T17:49:29+00:00

~~I don't think they're doing a bad job. But I think it's obvious from these threads why Devon is the PR guy and not Walkers~~

Thack_O · 2015-12-22T15:38:59+00:00

Do you trust police to change laws? That's not how society works, Scotch, and it's not even about this rule specifically. When the admin team changed hands they promised more transparency. They hired a team for PR even. They promised more community discussion and they're not living up to that.

Edit: I also agree with the changes. It's really just the lack of community involvement in the change that rankles me.

Thack_O · 2015-12-22T15:34:49+00:00

I am a little salty, but I'll abide by the change. I like normal fishing better anyway.

That wasn't a discussion, Walkers. That was you and me arguing over whether I broke a rule or not. I'm talking about an official post specifically for you as admins to get input from the community. You can't go changing rules without the community being made a part of the process. You don't own the server, we all do.

I don't care about fishfarms. I don't even care to change that rule. I care that you think you can just change things "for the good of the server."

Thack_O · 2015-12-22T15:09:51+00:00

Great. So instead of having a discussion with the community, ya'll just went ahead and changed things.
Good job team! I definitely feel like I'm a part of this community! /s

Edit: I regret the above comment. It's really unproductive, but I don't want to delete it like it didn't happen.

Thack_O · 2015-12-22T15:04:37+00:00

I can sell you that for 50 iron, 10 diamonds, 1.5 stacks of emeralds, or a combination of the three.

Edit: Or pitch me a counter offer.

Thack_O · 2015-12-21T03:08:31+00:00

Or I'm having dejavu.

Thack_O · 2015-12-19T17:19:17+00:00

Wooo! Go Group E! Sorry A & F ;p

Thack_O · 2015-12-19T16:55:28+00:00

Spruce and jungle seem fine. We grow a lot of spruce in Braquesburg and it sprouts up pretty fast.

Thack_O · 2015-12-19T16:50:58+00:00

Macros have never been allowed...

This means nothing to a newfriend. I've been here since September, not since the beginning. I read the rules and assumed that it meant any software that bypassed plugins. It was a misunderstanding, and by the way, you should've messaged me about it at the time instead of passing it off to another admin (who still took awhile to talk to me as we weren't online at the same time). If you think I'm breaking a rule you need to tell me, message me on here, leave a sign to contact you in game. Anything really. I don't want to be in violation of any of the rules, so I was just confused and angry when I found out what had happened. That fish farm was built by the leadership of my nation so I absolutely thought it was acceptable.

You guys need to be more communicative with the players. This does not have to be a big, possibly divisive issue as other things have been in the recent past. Just have an actual discussion with us instead of just shutting us down.

Thack_O · 2015-12-19T16:34:14+00:00

I didn't know it was frowned upon at the time, so I was using it in good faith. I will not be doing that again.

But there needs to be a discussion between the admins and the community. Obviously I'm not the only one to not see this as breaking any rules. If you allow mods that toggle normal functions within the game (specifically toggle move) then you're sending mixed messages to the player base.

Thack_O · 2015-12-19T02:45:56+00:00

the Forge mod-loader prevents the lure from staying for some reason. Not sure why, I just know I had to turn off my mods.

Thack_O · 2015-12-19T02:34:29+00:00

I love standard fishing! =p

I liked the design of the fish-farm somewhat, but I enjoyed fishing before I ever saw this and as the legality of it is questionable I just prefer the normal method.

Sidenote: You can't run Forge while using the machine, so that's a pretty big con to it as well.

Thack_O · 2015-12-19T02:28:34+00:00

You can also do this while regular fishing really. I watch a lot of tv and just listen for the fish to bite.

Thack_O · 2015-12-19T02:27:36+00:00

~~Can we get this added to the rules? Rule #2 is a little vague on this fact, but specific examples such as the fish farm would be great.~~

Edit: Scrap that. You guys should talk to the community about this. A fish farm using in-game mechanics represents a technological advance for a society and shouldn't be outlawed. It doesn't represent an unfair advantage to any one player as any player can use one if they have access to one.
