Really hard to hear, from what I knew of watyll he was a very intelligent and thoughtful person - always very polite and patient. Much love to his friends & family =[

Here's the Athera save - http://www.mediafire.com/download/2y6s8tqh4hndg2n/Four.rar
 

Also, I posted it on /r/minecraft the other day and it was on the frontpage for nearly 48 hours  which was pretty sweet - https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/3r49d3/from_concept_to_reality_2/

So far it looks awesome man, for the other arm I would suggest a dragon breathing fire at a knight who is holding up his shield or somethin'
Like these images, but more stylized & positioned more vertically to fit the length of your upper arm.
(You could also consider not depicting the entire dragon and just go with it's front half)

I'm sure whatever you choose will look sweet, so have fun with it

trying too hard

This is awesome Hiebe, only advice I can give it to remember to have many differing elevations throughout the map. (I raise each section to it's highest point then carve the map out from there.)

I look forward to seein' it progress
 

Did it? I'll need to see evidence/photos.

Here's some

 

(Booth set up in-progress, we were 1 of 3 booths that were owned by servers and there was over 7,000 attendees. Note: This was Minecraft's first convention and this booth cost around $2,500)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm down *added*

Well considering they thought it was a good idea, a meeting to make sure everyone is on the same page could be beneficial. Let's just hope they do the thing we want eh?

Pretty sure staff has a general chat just for them on Skype and Skype is completely free of any variation of time restriction. People could easily field a question and over the span of a day get feedback on the matter for response, as they should have the moment the community started blowing up. That they've said they're going to officially respond to the community is good. That it's going to take even more time, when the outcome should be blatantly one-sided given the majority's reaction, is cause for concern.

I 100% agree they should've acted much faster, but perhaps they're also taking this time to talk about how to deal with the problems VA's were meant to stop. Their next post will most likely not only include the removal of VA's but also a promise made that people who are a problem will be dealt with (And hopefully an apology for putting VA's back on the server.)

Proposal? Are you suggesting that we attempt to provide an alternative to something we'd much rather not exist at all? Perhaps it's the wording but, this just looks like more beating around the bush and extending time to a discussion with only two outcomes. How hard is it for a few people to take 2 minutes from their weekend to say, "Keep" or "Remove?"

Due process is due process. Without it, we get messy solutions and half-assed decisions (three guesses to what I'm referring to!). Let them take their time, stew over the countless threads we've made in response, and make the right decision.

Things take time. I'd rather they take the time, have a meeting, and decide to remove it with some semblance of intelligent discourse. Let's not all get hasty. There is really no other solution aside from scrapping VAs/MAs and a proper moderation, but let them come to that decision. We can't make it ourselves.

Not to mention that period where many used LOOC to ask "Do you have a VA for that..?" when certain events occurred.

Having villain apps also create a significantly larger learning curve for those who join, no bueno!

Low blow man, low blow..

I'd be foolish to say the maps I made were what the server needed but I'd like to think I did much more for the good of the community then just make some crummy maps.

There's no need to be passive aggressive, I don't think the status's should of been removed but acting this way is nothing to be proud of. (That poll shows 16 players out of the hundreds of that play, it's not very accurate and probably shouldn't be used in this argument but I would assume most players did indeed enjoy reading and using the status updates.)

((Even though Ryn may have said some negative things about a few RP groups doesn't mean any of you can reply with hateful messages, take the highroad and respond with dignity. Or don't post at all.))

Return status, rep and give us the ability to -1 people. Multiple valid reasons have been stated as to why this would be a positive influence on current forum behavior and attitude while no viable reasons against such an action have been brought forth.

-1's don't provide feedback or much room for growth so I'm personally against them returning. If you disagree with someones' post, comment with constructive criticism or +1 someone who has commented. Removing status updates however seems like a mistake to me because it doesn't solve the issue they were meant to, just moves it.

"if u keep criticizing our poor decision we'll lock the topic!"

 

wasnt surprised to see this

That's not what she meant at all and you know it, I don't exactly agree with locking the topic [i'd rather people be warned or banned.] but there's a difference in criticizing something and just being inappropriate.

As for the topic, I reckon status's will return soon.

Removing an outlet doesn't solve the problem, it just moves it - I hope to see status's return. [We have warns for a reason!]

In my opinion,

• The logo should be centered
• The "home" button should be changed into "Info"
• A "Media" button should be added
• A new, more detailed background should be chosen
• & the greeting message ("Welcome to Lord of the Craft..") should be changed to something more modest

All in all, I'm stoked that changes are happening and love the things added!

You should try motivating players to come back to your teamspeak before wasting your energy and time on adding new features that not many will take advantage of.

 

If everyone and their cat has their own TS, I do wonder. How much does it cost to own a server?

It's a shame you didn't acknowledge your bad attitude. This thread /is/ trying to motivate players to come back to the TS and what are these new features you're mentioning? Gamevox? That's irrelevant right now, we're talking about TS!

You realize that no one ever goes on your teamspeak right?

You know the answer to this question and it's much more polite to word it "I don't think many people use LoTC TS and I don't think they will."

In any case, it's worth a shot - It always is when it comes down to bringing people together.

The roleplay that goes on within these restricted magic groups is without a doubt some of the most engaging on the server. The atmosphere, community and history each of these groups has created is what will always remain most valuable and no amount of plugins could threaten that.

It's not about the spells and I'm sure you guys know that.  I just want to remind each of you that what you have cannot be broken if you stick to what you know and love. There can always be an explanation in role-play and I encourage you guys to keep an open mind when it comes to these spells.

I'm personally going to thinking about this a lot because I've read every page of this thread and I want everyone to be happy. PM me on the forum if you'd like, thanks!

How do we get resources everywhere is protected and we can't claim without resources!

This is a bug with pass-through flags not communicating well with the protected plots, we'll be freeing up many areas of the mainland asap
