Yes, definitely congrats!

Nowtocollecttherestofthemodsintomynation. I mean what.

Anyway, here's to good times and work!

The steps are as simple as you've said, you simply go onto a plot you think you want to buy and then just plot claim it for 10k.

There are several rules in it however, you have to keep the building no taller than 18 blocks, it has to be sensible buildings that look like a shop so no pixel art, and you have to make sure that what you're selling is something you can stock. Not that it always needs to be in stock in case of something like diamond which is rare, but just make sure you have some every so often is all.

My story's pretty simple. I joined in March after hearing Tidal talking about the server for a week-two. Right away we went into the mining world and she gave me some supplies to start me off and introduced me into MCMMO, where I decided that I would start digging up as much dirt as I could because excavation was easier to level up and it would eventually yield me diamonds, and stone was taking too long to break.

After a few hours of that Tidal was able to get me into DragonFire which her bf ran at the time. I was able to get two plots for myself by each other and was quite content with it, I had quite a lot of mishaps around the town having to do with getting myself lost a lot and not knowing where anything was, but eventually I mastered my surroundings. DragonSoulSong (The mayor then) made me a TA because he knew me in real life as much as he knew Tidal.

At first the town was pretty simple, nothing much to it, most people were inactive and it was incredibly small. I didn't like that, so I was immediately working on getting people into the town, creating new plots for the town, etc. Dragon was inactive a lot doing other things on various things, so mostly it was me doing all the plot-digging, shuffling people around, and showing them where to go to get what they needed. Tidal wasn't all that good with making plots, so sometimes she'd help where I'd outline a plot and she'd help me dig it, but not much else than that.

Eventually while I was digging AlbatrosV5 asked to look at the town because he was tired of living in the wilderness and he wanted to pick a good town to live in, for what I think was a full day he would just wander around the town while Tidal and I were working on plots. By the end of his wandering he decided that he'd wanted to join, so we moved him into the town and into some plots that he wanted and I thought that would be it, simply another resident into the town.

After some time I realized that was not the case at all, in fact he was far more helpful than I ever expected from a random person. He quickly wanted to help with things that I was working on for the town, offering suggestions, helping as he could, most things that normal people don't actually do. We wanted to make him TA but he'd refused at first. But after some time I managed to weedle him into joining the crew of DragonFire TA, and I'd gained an even better helper than I thought.

Mostly boring everyday stuff after that, Tidal was finally able to keep her promise to me about donating for me to get me VIP (My parents would never let me use my bank for it) and I bought her dinner, and I spent a few days as VIP. Then I woke up to get on and found I had a message from Foob asking if I wanted to become a moderator. I accepted of course, and was welcomed into the staff.

More boring everyday things, working to get the town as big as I could and helping out around the nation as I needed, gathering towns with Dragon when he was on. Then after a month of Dragon being inactive I asked him on something else if I could be mayor of the town and nation, and he decided it was better off for that, so he switched us out.

In the end this all leads to where I am now, with the town the richest currently and the nation as well. We may not have the most residents, but I don't feel that's really necessary. Mostly nowadays I just collect up items, farm, mine, simple things like that while helping coordinate the town with my TAs, who recently were added: AQW_Assassian01, Esp1222, and DiggyPerro. Hopefully I'll be able to get a better story later on.

I picked Gardell, mostly because it was the most original name there. "Lanewich" I've already said makes me think of "sandwich" except with a lane involved, so it seems a little silly when looked at that way. And there's a lot of things with "vale" and "ville" and "meadow". There was once a "meadowcraft" and a "meadowcraft2" so it's not all that separate and different.

Plus Gardell makes you question where the name came from, so it has a mysterious edge to it as well which makes it even better.

Eth-eh-real. Or another way to say it is Eth-air-e-ul. I prefer the second one, it sounds more light and airy somehow.

Try using it from a web browser instead, recently clients have been having troubles connecting to servers. I can say that the server is up however as I am on it currently.

Heh heh, I can imagine. People do like those who are good at avatars/signatures to make them for them. I'm decent at it and I'd get a lot of requests somewhere else that I go to.

Good luck with it all.

No, nobody is on the server. The list that you currently see is the list of people who were on when the server crashed. The list can't update because the server isn't up, but it isn't being told the server is down either I'd imagine so it doesn't know that the list should be empty either.

You'll simply have to wait until an admin wakes up in a few hours and puts the server back up.

Yes, definitely true. I've seen many people who don't even like Star Wars using the reference simply because the reference itself is a pretty nice one to make. In all kinds of apprenticeships there are ways to refer to the younger one who is learning, "padawan" and "jedi" seem to be as widely used as the most popular "grasshopper".

It's just a joke Beth, calm down. Liamcal probably likes Star Wars and on that they call those who are learning things "young padawans" or "young jedi". He wasn't actually saying it was your name, he was just using another thing to refer to you as.

As most people know occasionally I'll fill my three free double chests at my shop with enchanted items for anyone to take. However to keep doing this I'm going to need to keep a good supply of tools/armor to enchant for this.

So anyone who has any kind of tools/armor they'd like to give away I'd be beyond happy to accept it to reuse, it can be at any durability as well, and any kind. Even wood I will accept if that's all that one wants to give.

Currently:
I'm in need of tools/armor, so any you can give would be nice.

Any time I'm online you can just tell me you have some tools/armor for me to take and I'll tp to you to get it, you can put it in a chest if you want and direct me to it so I can take it from there, or you can just toss it to me. You an also tp to me to where I keep my enchanted chests so that I can then fill them from there, whichever is more preferable to you.

Sure I'll reserve them for you, I've put that they're reserved now.
