Noobstown General / I'm back
« on: 5 Mar 2018, 12:22:29 »
Hi everyone, I haven't been on in like a year or something ridiculous, and finally remembered minecraft was a thing.

I don't know, thought I'd make a post?

Is the server dead? It would be sad if it was :(

Noobstown General / The Wild Beacon Lobby
« on: 18 Aug 2015, 12:30:55 »
So, as many of us think that the published reason for neutralizing beacons in the wild is completely invalid, and complain on here to the probable and understandable annoyance of the admins, I'm going to continue the tradition.

Give us effectual wild beacons.

One idea that comes to mind, and which has probably been proposed before, is making the ability to place effective beacons in the wild a purchasable donation perk. For 5 or 10 pounds/dollars/whatever, the member can have effectual beacons in the wild.

I think this satisfies both positions. Those to whom effectual beacons are worth such a trivial sum can have them, the server gets supported a little more, and this will place an artificial bottleneck on the amount of people who actually have them, meaning that there will be a much smaller chance of (imagined and thus far unencountered) problems arising from effects leaking over onto someone else's chunks.

So, there. Feel free to voice your support/condemnation of this idea.

Support / Vanilla XP Multiplier
« on: 29 Jan 2015, 21:16:21 »
In the smelting skill, the vanilla XP multiplier increases the levels you get from smelting stuff.
Anyway, I've been at 2X for a while, which got me 28 levels from 32 stacks of potatoes smelted. Now, at 1395 XP required for 30 levels, and vanilla XP from a single potato being .35, the 2X making it .7, that math is roughly correct. Now, at 3X, 30 levels should come to around 21 stacks. I've tested this and only got to level 22. I did 32 stacks out of curiosity and still only get to level 28.

So, my point is, either vanilla XP multiplier is broken or there's some bug, or it's been quietly nerfed.
Please help :/

Suggestions & Ideas / Auto-replant!
« on: 27 Jan 2015, 19:00:05 »
So when you farm stuff, you know how it has a chance to automatically replant? I find that super annoying.
I suggest a command to disable the Green Thumb ability (for replanting, not the kind that makes mossy stones and stuff) much like /flux for flux mining.

Thanks

Market Place / Need a supplier!
« on: 28 May 2014, 22:05:50 »
I am building this in the Wild, and am going to need absolute tons of the following:

Quartz Blocks
Coal Blocks
Lapis Blocks

I don't have the required millions this will need right now, but I need a reliable supplier to sell me this stuff en masse as I get the money. I currently have 150k to spend on it.

Other / To pass the time?
« on: 9 Nov 2013, 06:18:11 »
So, I'm sure most of us play things other than minecraft from time to time.
What are we all playing to pass the time between V5 and V6?

for me it's been a lot of Tekkit, Kerbal Space Program, and Battlefield :D

sorry if someone already made this thread :P

Towns & Nations / Townsville is dead, unless we act.
« on: 12 Oct 2013, 14:18:06 »
I haven't heard from Phillip_Safran, Blobfish_Bob, or mastershake190 in a VERY long time. I am assuming, this close to release, that they went off to do something else forever.

If anyone wants to go in on restarting Townsville, Cool, we can restart Townsville.
If not, oh well.

Anyway yeah, just putting this out there so former residents know.

If nobody comes forward I will probably start a town anyway, it just will be named New Forthwind or something like that.

Noobstown General / Concerning Lava
« on: 20 Jun 2013, 20:16:03 »
When V6 is out, will I be able to place lava on property I own?
With all the protections that will be in place, I don't see the problem with allowing lava to be placed for things like decoration and lighting.

Sorry if this question was already asked and answered by someone else, I just never found this out for sure.

Noobstown General / Now for the hard part...
« on: 7 Jun 2013, 23:36:42 »
Now I just cut this into slices, and build this slice by slice on the server once V6 is out...
Seems... possible.

Suggestions & Ideas / V6 Livemap?
« on: 4 Jun 2013, 21:52:44 »
So to my understanding the V6 world is there, and you know what the map looks like, all you gotta do is finish building things and implement the software stuff like auction, etc.

So why not do a V6.0 map, so we can all see what the map will look like? So like, if I were looking for a chain of islands, or a large mountain, to build on, once V6 is ready, I could find it and sort of have everything planned out beforehand, so we don't spend the first week of V6 looking for a suitable location for a town.

Unless it would be a spoiler and you want the map to be a secret, then nevermind.

Noobstown General / The Normandy SR-4
« on: 4 May 2013, 00:51:32 »
When V6 kicks off, and once Townsville is set up and stable, I will be building a light battlecruiser called the Normandy.
Yes, that Normandy.
It will be on the outskirts of Townsville, probably at the Townsville Spaceport (if I get clearance from Phillip to build a spaceport.)
Anyway, I can't run a starship alone, as just the captain. I will be hiring crew members, yeoman, armory masters, etc. to run the place with me. Your "pay" will be quarters on the ship (which are going to be rather luxurious, and are fully customizable), free food from the mess hall, and the ability to brag and say "I live on Commander Shepard's ship" and all that stuff.
Also, there will be a vault, for minerals, and being a crew member, you will have the ability to take out loans from this "bank".
Perhaps the Normandy will be the HQ of the bank I want to start, but maybe not.

tl;dr Building battlecruiser, epic one, need crew. Supporters/VIPs/long time regulars preferred, it's not a full-time gig, just, I need help building it and I don't want to be alone on the thing.

So yeah. IF you want to know what it will look like, and don't play Mass Effect, just google "mass effect normandy" and that's basically gonna be it.

Noobstown General / Old Members we miss
« on: 14 Mar 2013, 19:54:11 »
I miss ajhl49, and Angel_Lord, and tyja, and achmedofhell. I just felt like making a topic about this because nobody seems to remember the first three.

Join the Enclave! Reformed and with a brand new impenetrable fortress! You will get ranks based on how quickly you join, right now we have room for Lieutenant Colonel on down. The lower the rank, the more people can have it.

Message Dmonemac95 OR cornflakes303 to join! Thank you!

(And yes ,we are based on the Enclave from fallout. Our base is subterranean and will soon become the server's only underground city. Like a Vault or something!)

Towns & Nations / New Forthwind
« on: 3 Nov 2012, 22:52:34 »
With killerpie and ajhl49 gone forever, the task is mine to restore Forthwind to some of its former glory. Post in this thread if you wish to help rebuild or help finance this massive undertaking. Or, of course, if you wish to join. We do not have the money right now, I only have about 330,000 Nz. Money, help, or even just residents would be an  immense help. Thank you.

What we could really use help with is digging dirt to level inside the city walls. The people who help the most will get a room in the luxurious castle! Plant a farm, run an inn, tend a tavern, sell food, mine things at the town quarry, or join our armies! Anything that can help would be appreciated.

Note: If you say you want to help and then just desert, you get nothing. I am looking for loyal, long-term residents.

Current Residents: Piimpeh, Dmonemac95



Beneficiaries so far: XxIBENNIxX, striker39


Jarl: Dmonemac95

Also looking for TA's, but for that position, you must truly be devoted to the town. No helping build one wall and then bailing. There is no pay, (if i offered pay it would just attract riff-raff and griefers) except a luxurious roomi n the castle and two free plots.
The city wall is currently 99x99, I don't expect the town to be much bigger than that, and I want to keep it relatively small. We are a peaceful medieval styled town, comparable to Whiterun. If you are interested in any of this, please message me or post in this thread. Thank you, whoever helps, you will not be forgotten.

Noobstown General / Is this the Matrix?
« on: 1 Jul 2012, 04:07:08 »
I noticed that in the little "online on site" thing, it lists "spiders". What are they and why are they crawling around the site? And will they kill me?

That is all.

Suggestions & Ideas / About Dynamic Economy...
« on: 14 Mar 2012, 05:20:10 »
When selling, it first compensates for the increase in whatever youre selling, THEN pays you the lesser amount. However, when buying, it first compensates for the decrease of the item, then gives it to you. Therefore, if I were to sell 1 diamond at 250, it would say "Buying 1 diamond at 300!"

But were i to sell at 250, it would say "Selling 1 diamond at 200!"
 
This is just an example, but you get the problem. Please either make them both sell THEN revalue or both revalue THEN sell, so that people can make at least something off stock market type trade. Otherwise you either lose tons or barely break even, it's really annoying, thank you.

Towns & Nations / Forthwind Mountaintop Outpost
« on: 18 Feb 2012, 07:36:19 »
I would like to announce the grand opening of the Mountain Outpost of Forthwind. It is all done, finally. All we need now are colonists!

Forthwind wants you!

Buy a plot, and build your rustic villa in one of the highest, most remote, and definitely most beautiful spots on the map. Explore its vast uncharted canyons! Investigate the mysterious church left abandoned on the outskirts! Hunt it's copious herds of cattle!

If you are a resident of Forthwind, or are going to become one, just ask for a plot and we shall claim one for you. Reserve your spot today! Choice of plots is limited!

Also, this outpost will not be following strict road plans. The idea is to maintain a rustic feel to the place, but still refined and populated. Therefore, plots will be claimed and houses built, and THEN roads will be extended to them. That is, of course, providing you want a road.

If you are a Forthwind resident and you are considering building a second home on this mountaintop resort, just type /town outpost and be whisked away to this extremely remote area to survey your ideal plot of land.

And remember, for this to be worth it, we need YOU! Come on Forthwinders! Support your town by being one of the first!

Noobstown General / They Bankrupted me!
« on: 14 Feb 2012, 19:53:27 »
I have a problem.
Why did you reduce the sell price of wheat in the shop down to 1?
People have economies based off of that stuff you know.
Could you please, like, change it back?
Or something?
Because that was the only thing you could make a decent living on in the shop.
Thank you.
Also, my farms are now WORTHLESS
So thanks for that as well.

Noobstown General / Enclave has fallen into ruin!
« on: 30 Dec 2011, 16:05:22 »
Actually, we are just rebranding ourselves. We have more members now! We are now called SPECTRE, like from james bond. Really it stands for SPECial Tactics and REcon, but it can also stand for SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion. We are a mercenary group, and for a small fee you can hire us to defend your town in any wars (like one will ever happen), or you can hire us separately, as bodyguards, to protect you from mobs. You can even hire us to keep a whole area mob-free.

Mainly however, JOIN! You get free breads and things! And you get access to the awesome base we have!
Also, we will be building a spaceship, so theres that. I dont know, mainly were just changing our name. SPECTRE sounds better is all.

Noobstown General / The Enclave Shall Rise Again
« on: 8 Dec 2011, 20:25:47 »
Okay, as the president of the Enclave i hereby authorize people to start the main base, aka Raven Rock.

The ideal location would be a snowy area, with high cliffs and mountains. The plan is to build a large heavy vault door into the side of a cliff or mountain, and then build down into the ground. The theme is to be mossy brick and red carpet, with low lighting. If you dont have these materials, just do what you can, like carving it out, or even just finding a good location :)

Actually, stick to the location for now, if you find a good spot, post here. Also, ENCLAVE REPORT IN!

Noobstown General / The Enclave
« on: 4 Nov 2011, 21:15:24 »
ATTENTION ENCLAVE MEMBERS
This is the official Enclave application thread. If you are already a member, post your name, rank, and whether or not you have played Fallout and know who The Enclave is. If you want to join, do the same.

This group will mirror the Enclave from the Fallout Universe, therefore I will be President, and there will be two Colonels. They will be BunnyLordfoofoo and quohogsdad. Below that, it will follow normal military ranking, based upon the order you joined. Promotions will be issued as they become available. Therefore, the first person to post will be the highest rank under BunnyLordfoofoo and quohogsdad. An exception would be if I recognize you as one of the first members, then you will get  a high rank. For example, rodriguezo, and others.

We will be a militaristic order. We will participate in all wars, as they are fun, picking the side of the highest bidder. Basically, we will be a powerful mercenary company. We will also have a massive and self sufficient underground base, called Raven Rock. It will grow trees, sugar cane, mushrooms, wheat, and will have a pasture for keeping supplies of animals for meat. Also, there will be a mob arena/grinder. All underground.

When i am not in charge, one of the Colonels will be, as I will be working for the town of Forthwind. Also, if it comes right down to it, we do not show any hostility towards Forthwind. Yes, you can be in other clubs, such as the 501st legion, and no, we will not go around instigating wars with towns. Eventually, when the treasury is big enough, we ourselves will form a town.

So, post you name and everything so we can for the first time have a clear count of everyone in the Enclave.

Other / Long Live The Enclave!
« on: 28 Sep 2011, 23:22:29 »
As v5 rises from the ashes of v4, so does the Enclave!
All patriots, grab your Gauss rifles and plasma pistols, and get ready to fight for freedom!
Who will answer the call of the Enclave?! Who will fight for what we stand for?!

GO ENCLAVE WHOO


(yes, this is a fallout RP, and yes, we are aware of the 501st, yes, you can be in both)
