A notice: Jamies has been overrun by Viagra bots, so we've moved all server discussion on to http://z15.invisionfree.com/BGSF_Minecraft/index.php? forum. Thank you for your cooperation.

Admins: These people act as a House of Lords to the decision making process; they are able to veto decisions that they would consider detrimental or negative to the health of the server, however most decisions made by the Council will be passed. They will also maintain the server and have the final say in issues regarding moderating.

Council: Decision making representatives of the player-base. These members are put forward by the players to represent them, but the final decision on appointment falls on the Admins and existing council members. Except in extreme conditions, the decision of this group will determine any changes to the server

These are the battle rules as per Undone's request:

1. Fort attacks may only occur when a member is online, active and *in* the fort. If members are online and active, but not in the fort, a 5 minute warning must be given before attacking. You may only attack a fort with a maximum of one more person than the number of defenders currently online.

2. Looting is allowed. However don't be a dike about it. At least 1/4 of any valuable items must be left behind.

3. Cannons are fair game. However dont purposely wreck a building with them. Making a hole with is ok. TNT may not simply be placed against a wall, but may be used in tunnels.

4. No attacking neutral members.

5. No fighting in neutral areas.

6. After the defeat of the defenders, the attacker must hold the fort for 15 minutes without leaving to claim it for their faction. If the two factions are still fighting over the fort once the 15 minutes are up, the fort remains in the defendant's hands until killed. If all defendants go offline and the 15 minutes passes, the attackers gain the fort.

7. No disconnecting to reset myspawn timer.

8. No destroying of captured forts unless the previous owner no longer wants it.

1.8 Update notice: We will be getting a new map for 1.8. So we can start fresh with all of the new systems that will be in place.

"1.8 Update notice: We will be getting a new map for 1.8. So we can start fresh with all of the new systems that will be in place."

As in a whole new world? I beg you, please start laying out rules and building restrictions for the new map before it goes online. I'll grief if I see another tower. (Not really but I'll do bad stuff)

I would like input from the community about restrictions and whatnot. When we do make the starter area it will be for admins/mods only before we release it. We are also going to change our mod team as its usually just me and Undone doing the moderating :stare:

[KU Fint]

"Notch mentioned another addition to the 1.8 Adventure Update - hold-to-charge bow mechanics. We may very soon see the inclusion of variable-damage weapon mechanics as a result. Whether this will be restricted solely to bow weapons or not remains to be seen."

From the wikia.

Also I really want a public mine in the next map and no huge towers within draw distance of the city.

[Miss Hayley]

No huge towers, no exceptions. If we are going to accept huge towers I suggest only ones like the ruined one next to Poo Tower in the snow biome. That thing is lovely, and not that tall.
And no infinite mine tunnels either.

[Heather M]

Lemme get this straight, you need to start a new world in order for the update (adventure update 1.8) to take place?

[Lily Evans]

As an alternative, I recommend that all huge towers must be constructed out of flammable wood.

I'm pretty sure we won't be starting a new world until after 1.8 is released. There's potential for 1.8 to break things in current worlds so to play it safe it's best to start a new world. I'm guessing it will be a couple of weeks after 1.8 is released before a new map is started so that the server mods have enough time to be updated. If you want to keep playing on the server I recommend not updating until the server is updated.

[Miss Hayley]

Basically any new chunks generated on a pre-1.8 map will get huge chunk errors. You could aviod this by just exploring a huge area in advance.

It's just easier to make a new map though.

[Irmacuba]

A new map? Again?
Well, I guess it's time to put this war to an end... or is it over already?

[Jose ordaz]

What about the Villages and the ancient ruins, will they occur on land that has already been formed prior to 1.8? Or will you need to travel onto uncharted land to find them?

Also these additions will work on normal servers correct? Not just adventure servers(were you cant edit blocks).

[cassy]

How the heck do you guys make rooves? i bought this game yesterday and while i enjoy it i can't seem to make any form of building that doesn't either look like a shoebox due to it's flat roof, or a badly made shack when i use stairs to do the roof, is there some kind of roof block or something?

Stairs are your best bet. Use half blocks for the corner parts.

[Victor Oropeza]

I think we should hold a fort tournament before we switch. We will hold a single elimination tournament between forts members on a specific date. The winning fort will get an unspecified amount of cash to spend on items for their fort. Thoughts?

[Penny Wills]

Since those are somewhat obvious shots at my tower in the city I'll make a few things clear that bother me:

1) Don't beat around the bush on the internet. I'm pretty sure since I'm the only one with a tower in the city, I know it's me, so just say it. You won't hurt my feelings.

2) I was unaware that people did not want them in/near the city. If people didn't want it, they had plenty of time to say something, as it remained quite short for over a week and a half before I collected enough glass.

3) I'd offer to tear it down now but since the map's being reset, I won't.

If there are any other rules about the server I should know, can someone direct me to them so I don't have to stumble upon them without inadvertently breaking them?

We have no problems with your tower at all. It's xKiras tower we all hate. It's all obsidian and huge. :sick:

[Bee Baby]

Your tower is just fine.

Xkira's tower is the one we hate.

:icecream:

[Pat RiMsey]

Was my tower a problem?

I don't know about this. I don't really like the idea of one fort having an advantage over another. It'd be more fun if we all started from scratch.

Just had 2 stupid minecraft moments.

1) Spent an hour digging around after I hearing the sound of a nether portal (i've only opened one on the map)
Turns out I was directly below the one I created and dug out the entire floor which it was on...I had to redo the floor in cobblestone temporarily.

2) Fell into lava while collecting glowstones. I've never been able to collect them. I always manage to fall in!
They're cursed I tell you! :swear:

A couple of tricks I've used to collect glowstone. First, don't do it over lava. Just don't. Stick to spots that have some kind of land underneath them. Glowstone is often very high up so bring a stack of dirt with you to use as a makeshift elevator (look down, jump, place dirt, jump, place dirt...). Once you're close enough to the glowstone don't move around while you're mining it. If you have to move, crouch so you don't fall off. You won't be able to catch a lot of the glowstone but it will be waiting for you when you go back down.

Use cobblestone instead of dirt so Ghasts can't destroy it while you're up there.

[kasia]

Good point but if there are ghasts floating around you probably shouldn't be harvesting glowstone in the first place.
