Estellan

Shields has helped me extensively several times on the forums, showing no hint of impatience even when I unleash questions like startled bats from a wilderness cave!!

I strongly believe shields would make a fine Forum Mod.

Full sets of leather armour, or just the torso?

Hey guys, i'm the chief engineer at Freedom Ridge.

I just wanted to show you this picture of the Freedom Ridge Colony Centre in progress. The different districts will branch off of this room. You can see the VIP district to the left on the picture, and the mine in the center of the wall directly in the front of the picture. The two hallways next to the mine go down to our farm that is as big as this room!

Wow, that was only a few days ago but it looks so alien....and empty now! 0.o

(pretty difficult to speak rp in the forums if your forum name is your mc name :P)

Not if your forum name is Estellan and your MC name is Estellan and your rp name is Estellan. YAY ESTELLAN!!

Thank you both for your kind words!

Due to the overwhelming amount of applications via PM I get - I have assigned someone to deal with them. Please mail/message Stryker in future. Thank you.

That sounds like a STEEP price for an inn. How much money does it bring in?

Position applying for: Guard.

Previous experience (if any):I havent played on this server yet but I am quite good at using a bow and a sword if that helps.

How long you have been playing minecraft: About 5 to 6 months.

How long you have been playing this server: Havent yet played the server but found out about the server about 1 week ago.

IGN: ethanrs.

Accepted. Sending you directions now.

Update: Our Chief Engineer himself is working on a new jewel of our colony. We have tasked him with creating "the most magnificent Guild-Hall possible based on a military-style guild". In his predictions, it will be a quarter to a half the size of the colony in actual area and will contain:

Reception area - With the best architectural marvels in the colony situated in your reception area, any potential recruit who walks past will be in awe. Wow your friends and enemies!

Captain's Quarters - Complete with luxury fittings such as carpets, paintings, a secret passworded safe and a private glass box where he can view training in progress in the training hall

Training Hall - Where soldiers of the owning guild can learn to fight or better themselves in the art of war

Meeting Hall - A place for battle plans to be made, victory songs to be sang and for general gatherings

Barracks - With fully fitted rooms for up to 25 soldiers, no man in this outpost will ever be without comfort

Armory - With workbenches, forges and enough passworded chests to store a whole army's gear this will be a vital cog in your well-tuned guild killing machine

Officer Barracks - With 5 luxury officer rooms, larger and better equipped than barracks rooms you can be assured your officers will appreciate the comfort and privacy while formulating battle plans and training regimens

Keep - A central fall-back area should the unlikely event occur that the colony and then your Guild-Hall be over-run by the enemy. Make a final stand behind these solid defenses, designed to give the defenders maximum chance of victory. Very narrow corridors make fighting a skill game rather than a numbers game, and multiple booby-traps will suprise attacking foes!!

Diplomacy Suite - Invite other guild leaders over for diplomatic talks in this suite, equipped with benches, tables and a fine, red wool carpet.

Dungeon - Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer....and behind bars!! With 3 rooms and space for 2 prisoners in each, you can keep 6 of your captive enemies for questioning or worse!

The final selling price for this is yet to be decided, but we will keep everyone updated with how it is going. Feel free to mail me and ask!

I WANT TO JOIN... We can beat the Undead if we try so pick up your swords and join us, FOR OREN, FOR AEGIS, FOR MINECRAFTIA!!!!!

So stop Being Cowards and take a step into Manhood Or you might just go and join the coward squad (there the first to get killed by the Undead), HELP FIGHT FOR OREN!!!!!!!

They will fear us for the rest of there eternal lives!!!!

Accepted - Welcome aboard! I also got your message in the colony on the noticeboard, and message me when you get back on and we can talk about that room :)

Hmm.. I may be interested in buying a guild hall there...

Feel free to pop by anytime and view our current guildhalls to help make your decision. We custom make yours depending on what you need.

I like the idea of losing all items and money. It will re-shake the class system. Some players on this world are filthy rich and others are really poor. Equalling it out once in a while seems fair :)

Looks good, I look forward to doing business with you guys :)

Amazing, original idea. +1 RP internetz for you, sir!

More than likely it's Warner Brothers due to us "borrowing" the Lord of the Rings type name. Wouldn't put it past em!

Awesome, I signed up!

If you go make them right now, I'll call. There is no "Internet police"

I am 99% sure he was joking Hawk hahah

Uh..how exactly would that be meta may I ask?

Because you only know about this new guild due to the online forums, and have yet to see or hear their actions ingame. That is what I think he is saying.

The only real way to mitigate it would be to implement a white list. But some of you have dynamic IPs so that would be a little hard to keep up to date. And if the DDOSer is savvy, they'd spoof their botnet. And then we're back to square one.

Unfortunately the only true way to defeat a DDOS is to have more bandwidth than their combined botnet. But thats a pretty expensive solution. But it does work, which is why google and yahoo aren't crippled unless a group gets together.

HOW expensive? I would be personally willing to sacrifice a paycheck or two to make sure we all have a lagfree experience. I'm only new here and don't have many friends but still want everyone to enjoy this server as much as I have been doing.

Edit: Also, as someone who has taken part in many a DDoS attack (not against this server) I can say half of the fun is watching the recipient, whether that be a person, group or company, rage hard over the fact they are lagging/inactive.

Remember guys, you may be mad but don't show it. That will only encourage them.
