BeardedCraft General / Throwing this out there to see who plays!
« on: August 10, 2023, 05:30:55 am »
Hey folks, Xu here! God, this place brings back memories. I have no idea if anyone will see this anymore, but I wanted to toss a post up to see if I could draw any of the old gang back into it.

I'm currently running a multiplayer server alongside a longtime friend, called Daela Continent, and would like to extend an invitation to all the old guard to come join us! If you're interested, you can find me on Discord under "verdureash".

GREETINGS, MEATBAGS

FROM THE DEPTHS OF ROBOT-HELL I HAVE RETURNED TO PLAGUE YOUR STRANGE VOXEL WORLD

Hey LTC! :D It is I, Vagabond/Xumevyn/Ash, whatever you guys used to call me. Me and my merry band of misfits have decided to pop back into Minecraft to see if we can get sucked back into it like we did all those years ago! It's good to see you all again! <3

If we are the best that the universe has to offer, then we are, without a doubt, **** in a heap of trouble.

While I definitely agree with rabid's assertion that BeardedCraft should remain strictly a survival server, the idea of gathering some BC players and hitting up some other, more specialized servers or other games is a good one.

LazyLilith and I have been playing on a fairly active StarMade server that is incredibly entertaining.

For those of you who aren't aware, StarMade is essentially the bastard child of FTL, Minecraft, and Kingdom Hearts's Gummi Ship mechanic.

I'm not aware of any plugin for Bukkit that allows 'buffs' without the use of a Beacon, but perhaps a /kit giving something like Fire Res/Speed pots?

Shops, I'm still a little outdated due to my recent absence on whats going on, but if shops still exist players could waste cash on diamonds and basically be safe from the money wipe if it EVER happens
The server shops were removed, and replaced with two simpler shops that buy only, so there's currently no unlimited source of diamonds. The only way to obtain them is to buy them from other players or mine them, and honestly with the threat of a money wipe on the horizon, I can't see players selling very many of their diamonds.

players with millions will convert it all to diamonds and basically solve nothing.

My question is, from where will these magical diamonds come from? Millions of dollars = thousands of diamonds, and I'm fairly certain I can count the number of people with 'thousands' of diamonds on one hand.

Regardless, the point is a fairly valid one. They'll do their best to convert all of their funds into materials in order to preserve that advantage. My suggestion?

Wipe the money now, while the server is down.

Extreme? Yes. Effective, efficient? Also yes. Unfair? Cry some more.

Also, Meko? I deliberately converted the image into a URL to prevent cluttering this thread with it. :P Please remove it.

What's that? A money wipe you say? As in, every player would be forced to start over, on an equal footing? Without the unfair benefit of the /jobs plugin's easily-abused features to give them millions and millions of dollars to get ahead, leaving new players hopelessly behind unless they, too, abuse the system? Say it isn't so!

Honestly, a complete and total economy overhaul is exactly what BeardedCraft needs. If my assumptions are correct and we begin seeing an enormous influx of new players with the release of 1.6 (Nxck's advertising skills no doubt coming into play) then we need to have all of this **** sorted out proper before that happens. A smaller, simpler server shop that only buys items and doesn't sell them, both to prevent the "just buy what you need" mentality and to encourage player-run shops, as well as lowering inflation.

But hey, lowering inflation isn't going to mean diddly squat if there're still millions casually floating around the economy. I hate to draw attention to specific players, but take zim1970 and Tunnler. who I know for a fact each have $20,000,000+ and $15,000,000+ respectively. That kind of absurd advantage gained from the now-defunct /jobs command would give a serious advantage over, well, just about anybody.

As an example, a relatively new player had spent a lot of time mining diamonds, and set up a player shop in the Asterian marketplace, selling them for $285/each. This rather effectively undercut a certain player's usual price ($550/ea), and they swooped in and immediately bought all (450+!) diamonds available, simply to prevent others from buying anywhere else.

Normally, I'd applaud such practices, but when it was done using money obtained from abusing /jobs, I'm inclined to say it's a bit of an unfair advantage.

tl;dr Kill 'em all, let Notch sort 'em out. Money wipe is a yes vote from me.

Asteria's reaction to all the kids complaining about losing their ill-gotten cash.

Hello, everyone. I'm Xumevyn, AKA Xu. Most of you know me already, but for those who don't, I'll give a little bit of background.

BeardedCraft (and it's predecessor SupraCraft) was one of the first servers I enjoyed playing on that wasn't owned, operated, and administrated by myself or one of my rather close group of friends. I did take a short hiatus, after declining a moderator position (having been elected a few times before), due to some personal issues that don't really need to be aired here. Now that my group and I are back and on regularly (and adding more members!), I feel confident in applying for a moderator position. Some of you might remember me as a moderator during SupraCraft; I like to think that I was fair, helpful, and a pretty well-known fixture in the community.

With the release of BC3 and the recent influx of new players, I'm hoping to be able to take up the mantle of 'staff' once again, and continue to help making BeardedCraft one of the most friendly, enjoyable, and new-player-accessible servers on the market.

tl;dr: Xu for mod, Nxck's a chump! <3


Sorry, folks! I have to withdraw my application! :)

You know, generally, I like to consider myself a fairly level-headed player. Sure, sometimes I forget myself and toss a few profane words out there, especially late at night when there aren't many people around except for people I know. In fact, that's when most of my playing is done. Late at night, early morning.

Today I was reminded of WHY that is. I logged on around 11:30AM CST, thinking I'd get a little bit of building done, maybe mingle with some of the players I know that I hardly ever see. And what do I log into?

I log into seeing a VIP player harassing a Trusted member, KNOWING that that particular Trusted member would react in such a way as to get himself banned. When told that he was being obnoxious and that he should leave the Trusted player alone, the VIP player's response was "What I'm doing isn't a bannable offense! I haven't done anything wrong since January! I'm being treated like a criminal!"

I'm not going to lie. The Trusted player he was harassing has caused several problems on the server in the past, but that's no reason for a VIP player, who should be viewed as a LOYAL AND VALUED MEMBER OF THE BEARDEDCRAFT COMMUNITY, to take matters into his own hands and try to force this Trusted player to act in a manner unbefitting of server etiquette and get himself banned. It's underhanded, unnecessary, and absolutely unacceptable. This kind of inexcusable behaviour should be grounds for some kind of punishment.

So thank you, unnamed VIP player, for reminding me exactly **** why I play at night, when all the **** children are tucked away so they don't **** me the **** off.

Xu out.

BeardedCraft General / Re: Plug-in suggestion: modreq
« on: May 16, 2013, 06:15:16 am »
100% agreed with Lunatic. Having a formal method of requesting staff assistance without having to spam global chat would be a godsend. Plus, the current system of "take screenshot, upload it to imgur/photobucket/what have you, post it on the forums, wait for a staff member to log on and see it" is a bit convoluted for a lot of the newer/less technically savvy members. Plus, modreqs queue up, which would be handy for when there's 4-5+ players needing help. Rather than having them spam chat with ADMIN PLS GRIEF HELP ADMIN ten times over, they submit one modreq, and wait patiently.

It'd take time for players to become accustomed to using it, but in the long run I think it could save BC a lot of trouble.

Ca t you do /helpop or is that for a differnt plugin

The thing about /helpop is that it basically just sends a /msg to online staff. While useful in its own right, it's completely pointless if no staff is currently on. With /modreq, not only do they queue up like /mail that any staff member can read, but there's also the /tp-id command, which allows a staff member to teleport to the location from which the /modreq was made, in case the reporting player is offline at the time the staff member logs on.

BeardedCraft Server / Re: [IMPORTANT] Moving Over Protection(s)
« on: November 26, 2012, 06:50:43 pm »
@Ellunas: According to the Bukkit page, there is a maximum allotment for protected areas given to a player based on the amount of playtime they have on the server. Also, any claim beyond their first requires a golden shovel, so it isn't *completely* free.

And no, there aren't any entry/exit messages for claims, PvP or otherwise. The plugin developer noted that at the end of the description.
