Server Announcements / Waterworth
« on: 23 Oct 2015, 17:38:40 »
Hello, Friends

I am just writing to inform you all that I will be stepping down as an admin (and consequently head of moderation etc) in the next month; this is a decision that was not taken lightly but it is a decision that was nonetheless necessary. I am becoming rather busy and I will be increasingly busier in the future thus now is the optimal time for me to stand down from my role.

It has been fantastic meeting the people that I have on the server – it is truly an honour and a pleasure that is all mine; I have met a vast array of different persons and personalities – even though not all of them have been, let us say, desirable, the majority of them have been utterly fabulous individuals who, not only have extended their warmth and friendship to me but also to our community and thus making it a much more wholesome and favourable place.

However, this is not a goodbye – I’m not leaving completely – I will be online in some of the free time that I have (which isn’t an awful lot) and I will say hello to people, hang out and perhaps participate in an event or two; I’m not dying or disappearing from the face of the earth.

Until I see you again :)

Competitions & Events / Chunk of the Month - July 2015
« on: 1 Jul 2015, 23:47:26 »

Chunk of the Month returns
DEADLINE: 1st August

Greetings,

This July we will be bringing back the Chunk of the Month competition; the aim of the Chunk of the Month is to create a chunk that reflects either the theme of the competition (if a theme is set) or if no theme is set a chosen design that you feel is worthy of winning the prize.

July theme: Summer
Your chunk should resemble something related to Summer, I'll let you do what you want with that.

The most creative, ingenious and aesthetically pleasing plots will win the competition and a prize.

Important Information

  • A chunk submission is one chunk only, that is a 16x16 plot of land.
  • To submit your chunk you must set it as your /visit and leave a reply on this post indicating that you would like to enter the competition.
  • You must submit before the 1st of August
  • Prizes will be given to the owner of the plot where the submission is located, not necessarily the builder
  • Avoid pixel art, you are less likely to win.
  • Your plot must be in the Wilderness world

Prizes:
  • A custom chunk of the month player head trophy
  • 100k Nbz
  • 5 free chunks

MOB ARENA COMPETITION
RESULTS

Hi,

We've had some fabulous entries to the mob arena competition, all of which have been worked very hard on and I should like to thank those players who were very industrious and hard-working; it is much appreciated.

The first place choice was a very difficult decision, so much so that I've decided to have two winners.

Pidgeot72


MagicMan27


Both of these arenas were very well designed and refined; the first of which is a mini town style map -- perhaps a defend the keep style zombie invasion. The second is a hazardous lava jump map contrasted with a cool, slippy and icy part; equally as perilous.

SEASONS -- Fang_Eternity, Fatherbot, TweekTweeks.

But I must give commiserations to Fang_Eternity, TweekTweeks and Fatherbot who designed a very creative and unique mob arena, encompassing all of the main seasons. So too, this arena was made on the server -- making the task require much more hard-work -- I would like to thank the three of them personally for submitting their entry.

The above participants will be given prizes for their entries to the competition and the first place winners will have their mob arenas implemented in-game for all to enjoy.

Once again, I thank the other participants for their entries :)

Mob Arena Competition


This competition is already in progress, this is just a reminder to all candidates that they have till the 8th May to complete their builds; judging will happen a week or so subsequent to the 8th of May and will be announced on the website

Competition closed: any more entries should be private messaged to Waterworth.

If you have completed your build, make a post on this topic and inform me that you have done!


We will be holding a competition for players to be able to create a mob arena map, the winner of the competition will have their build implemented as a mob arena (accessible by all) with their head placed in the map and credit given.

You can build these arenas in your wild plots or in town area (the former is the best option). You may also build your arena in a single player world as long as you provide a schematic that can be directly implemented into the server.

You may choose the theme and who you build the arena with; everyone who helps build will be rewarded (as long as it is in line with the rules below.)

Rules:
At least 5x5 chunks.
No more than 5 players being involved in the build (1 min, 5 max).
Do not create any intentional exploit spots: they will be removed.
Do not create super tall builds, for instance, anything higher than 100 blocks cannot be used.
Do not use any 1.8 blocks, we will not be able to add your schematic in-game if you do so.

Rewards:
500k Noobz - shared between all players on a team
A trophy (per person)
Each player will have their head placed in the mob arena

Tips:
Try to use a consistent theme -- we aren't looking for a specific theme, feel free to make your own.
Try not to use every block in-game and keep a design that looks sleek and nice

*You have one month to complete your build for this competition -- 8th May 2015

Server Announcements / Valhalla and Elysium
« on: 5 Apr 2015, 03:07:47 »
Hello all,

(If you are a member of the town Valhalla or Elysium
and do not have your items/blocks please contact Waterworth or a staff member to claim them.)

I apologise for this serious post at a time that is meant to be fun, and I promise, it will be fun! However, I must address an important issue.

An incident that happened today, 4th April, resulted in the deletion of two towns: Elysium and Valhalla.

As a direct consequence of this deletion, player (town) plots have been unclaimed. Although, I can assure you, that the items and blocks in these plots are safe and I will be working diligently over the next couple of days/weeks to ensure that all items are returned to players.

We should not allot any blame to players who were in any way involved in the sequence of events that happened earlier today.

I will be returning items to wild plots and if players do not have wild plots, I will be contacting them directly, please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you have any concerns.

Whilst returning items, I can also work on a first come first serve basis; in other words, if you contact me directly, I can fast track returning your items to you so that your game experience is not delayed or ruined in any way -- to do this just message me on the site or send me a mail ingame.

On a last note, please take into account that we can check who items belong to, so it is not wise to waste my time claiming that items are yours when they are not.

My apologies and thank you

-WW

Suggestions & Ideas / Suggestion/Idea Guidelines
« on: 11 Feb 2015, 00:28:32 »

Suggestion/Idea Guidelines

1. General Guidelines
  • We appreciate every suggestion, however, please do not expect your suggestion to be implemented, however merit-worthy they seem to be: a final decision is made by an Admin in accordance with certain criteria.
  • Suggestions, if granted, may take a while before they are implemented in-game, this is usually due to the complexity of plugins &c; do not expect it to be instant.
  • A staff member endorsing or complimenting your suggestion does not imply or guarantee it will be implemented.


2. Tips and Advice
  • Be constructive in your suggestions and feedback. In other words, don't be negative.
  • Ensure that if you are suggesting plugins, that they are updated.
  • Do not mistake plugins with modifications and suggest something that is only available in single player.
  • Make sure your suggestion is realistic! It is unfeasible to suggest a huge server overhaul in a short amount of time.
  • Make sure your ideas are expressed clearly without any ambiguity; ensure you use simple terminology so that others can understand (and don't presume that we know specific plugin/code terms).
  • If you're suggesting a theme month, try to make it as general as possible. Themes relating to specific films, or books, etc. are likely to be too specific for others to understand. For example if instead of suggesting a specific film/book like Harry Potter the idea of wizards is much more generalised and more people can relate to it.
If you are constructively criticising or commenting on a suggestion, ensure it is constructive and do not engage in counter-productive name calling e.g. this is a silly idea, therefore the person who wrote it is also silly.

WEEKLY SUMMER EVENTS SCHEDULE

Hi,

We will be doing weekly events from tomorrow (6th August) onwards, you will find a timetable below!

This is a tentative timetable that will probably change in the future to include more events and times that are more flexible for staff and players alike. There may also be some unscheduled events if there are large numbers of players online, however this will not affect any of the timetabled events below.
All times/dates are subject to change if we need to

*Some events, such as The Cube will only be hosted on a bi-weekly (once a fortnight) basis due to the amount of items that can be gained.

More events have been planned for after the 17th too! A timetable of these will be posted closer to the date!

Hello!

This is the new application that will be used for players that want to apply for Chatmod.

What is a Chatmod?
You may have heard the term 'Chatmod' thrown around in the past couple of months, but not quite entirely sure what it is. In the most basic description, a Chatmod is a 'sub-moderator' and mainly has duties of monitoring the ingame chat and helping out players with an issues they might have. The Chatmod only has very basic duties, therefore only has very basic Moderation permissions - You will have access to jail and kick a player from the game.

You can no longer apply to be a Moderator, every person has to go through the process of Chatmod -> Moderator. The only way to become a Moderator is to be promoted from a Chatmod to a Moderator. If you become a Chatmod and show a respectful, helpful and enthusiastic attitude, you will almost certainly be promoted to a Moderator.

The Application
When applying for the role of 'Chatmod' you must follow the below layout. The application is very simple and easy to fill out;

Code: [Select]
Username:
Age:
Timezone:
Why do you want to be a Chatmod?:

This is the first stage to applying for Chatmod, your application will be reviewed by myself and you will be contacted in-game if I feel that you would make a good Chatmod. You must bear in mind that even though this application is simple, your in-game behaviour will be monitored by the staff, myself and other Chatmod. The best way to show you are eager to become a Chatmod is to help out players in-game and keep a respectful and friendly attitude, it will pay off in the end!

If you have any questions regarding your Chatmod application, don't hesitate to send me a message, however make sure you don't ask regularly about the status of your application, because generally I have a lot of applications to read and review and may not have time to update you.

Best of luck to all applicants!

-Waterworth

Remember: It's not all about applications, it's about applying yourself in-game and showing to us that you are capable of fulfilling this role through both helping and nurturing new and existing users of Noobstown. - Foob
