So I was wondering if anyone remembers the online game Music Rivals?  It was an online game around the early to mid 2000's.  Basically you created a band, released music, played gigs, signed a label, etc.  It was a lot of fun, but shut down because it apparently got too costly for the hosts.  I was wondering if anyone remembers it and/or played it.

So I was bored last night and started reading through ban appeals.  While a lot of the appeals I read were very hard to read due to poor grammar and spelling, but I came up with an idea.  How about for lower level offenses or first time offenders (for certain offenses of course) instead of a ban, they have a certain amount of required jail time.  There could either be a Noobstown wide jail or jails in individual towns or nations.  Find some way to have these people only spawn in jails and have no access to commands other than say a jail specific chat.  You could have someone (a moderator or admin) as a jail guard.  Each person in jail would have a set number of hours they have to log of jail time depending on the offense and how many strikes they have.  Hours would only be logged while actually on the server.  This part is probably a stretch, but maybe instead of just having them sit around in jail, you could have them mine (either for the individual town or country's profit), grow and harvest crops, or make basic tools to sell for x amount.  I don't know if this is actually a possibility or not, as I am very new to both MC and obviously multiplayer and servers.  Let me know what yall think!

Hi I'm jtread4.  I just joined tonight and I just bought MC yesterday.  My younger brother has been playing mc for quite a while and I finally let it catch my interest.  I played the demo off and on for a little while but never quite understood the full idea, so I decided to buy it.  I started playing in Noobztown just about an hour ago and out of curiosity joined to be a member.  I have already received quite a bit of support from several people and feel like a part of the community already.  If there is any advise that anyone has about this server or mc in general I'm up for it!
Thanks,
jtread4

PS Is the best way to learn in Noobztown to learn as you play and discover?  Some people told me about tutorial videos but I couldn't find them unfortunately.
