I will be figuring out a way to make umm's C++ actually work on the server

Hello there, Prin.

Just wanted to refer you to this post about our upcomming update to V6.

http://www.noobscraft.com/server-announcements/the-next-generation-of-noobscraft!/

Everything you may want to know should be covered there.  It's all the information we have for you currently but keep a watch out for more official posts.

Nothing wrong with ideas.  New things can never come to pass unless someone thinks of them first
Just be sure to keep them in good taste and follow the forums rules.

Our Job as staff is to ensure the safety and integrity of the server.  Based off of the rules we have in place, and extensive investigation into any report or incident of rule infringement, a warning, suspension, or ban is put in place.  Such is the way of the server, and while not everyone agrees with it, and it is certainly not a perfect system as those who created it are human, it is what is.  I am sorry that you feel you have been slighted, but I assure you any and all appeals are reviewed and the case is looked over by not just one, but many of the staff members that are hired to help.  This is not a public court system, nor is this some dictatorship where a ruler enforces his own whims and ideals on to others.  This is a private server, with a certain ruleset and punishment system that is followed.  While you may feel it is unfair based off of whatever standards you hold true, that is not the case.  You are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else, but you must remember that when in an on-line community such as this, it is up to the Administrators to set the rule and set the punishments as they see fit for their product.  There's nothing more we can convey or tell you other than the fact that evidence is presented, reviewed meticulously, and only then is a punishment decided.  It was the same with your case as well.

You may only be a member of one town at a time.  You can purchase embassy plots in other towns to build a home there, but you cannot join 2 towns.

Pistons are disabled due to a number of bugs and glitches involving them.  I will not go into details on these bugs to protect the integrity of other servers that have them enabled.  Once the bugs and glitches are fixed, we will enable them again.

Mojang's login server is having issues atm.  Nothing we can do but wait until they fix it on their end I'm afraid.

Due to this being more of a market topic, it will be moved there.

I have lost no business to seaside.  In fact, their new shop has allowed for me to take off some pressure from the server shop being down with people filling up their chests.  I did adjust my diamond prices due to seaside, but only slightly, as a store that cannot stay in stock will never thrive.  Eventually people will tire of trying to go there and just find another shop that's always in stock, and has what they want for buying and selling purposes.  People have asked me how my shop is so successful.  This is my trick.  I have everything the most basic player could want or need, as well as what they would want to sell.   I do lose out on money often, but when it comes time for a player to purchase something, where do they go?  "I remember seeing that in that one guys shop I made 10k off of!" 

Going by the ruling of disbanding a shop because of their prices would be unfair in and of itself as well.  If that were the case, both Twisted's and my shop would have to go , as we keep a healthy stock and a good solid cap on most valuable prices.  Do we always get the business?  No.  But when the other shop selling for ridiculously low amounts is out of stock, players will come to us.  It is hard to 'crash' an economy like this one, when the stock is very limited and there isn't a huge surplus.

I should also add, location is a key factor in success in shops as well.  As stated in a previous post, the shop behind someone else may not receive as much attention if players are not made aware of it's existence.   I am sad to know that my shop took quite a bit of business from other players as well, but in a situation like this, there's not much that can be done. 

The superstore is a nice addition to the market.  I find it to be an attractive wonder that pulls people into the market.   I have also found that opening and running a market isn't very profitable at all.  If you're looking to just make noobz, you'd do better to harvest the materials, and then sell them to the shops, or to an individual personally.  If I had to guess on my shop's profits, I'd say minor.  Buying, selling, and keeping up with the shifting economy does not yield profit to me in the amounts people think it does.  They see my /player balance and make assumptions when in fact, 90% of that money has come from farming or mining materials myself, or doing private trades with people in mass quantities.

Do I think it should be a rule that plots should be separate?  I'm indifferent really.  Even if the plots were divided by a 2-block wide median I do not think it would change much in the grand scheme of things. 

(I have been directing people to your market, Bexn.  for invis pots   You created the market for those and from what I gather, have set the going price)
