It's funny to me when people say "I've been here since 2015(not trying to point fingers but an example) and I refuse to reset all my work" when people like Fractalion and Tera have been here since 2011 or earlier, and are all for the reset and are wanting it to be a complete reset. When you've played minecraft since it was nearly free(I paid $2.95 for it) you absolutely run out of things to do after a few years if nothing has been reset. I've lost everything on survival SFT through the various world resets(lots of which are caused due to the server being so long running.) At one point, I was one of biggest no lifes on sft, having several 80+ hour weeks.

By having a reset, we can have people building the server back up again, with nobody outweighing anybody else. Nobody will have the funds, or materials to just not have to do something, and we can all grind together again, which is what I remember this community as when I first joined. Give it a chance to see what you can do when everyone is on an equal playing field again.

How does the building team building more encourage anyone to play more, that makes no sense. As for the masterball event thing, there were multiple posts on discord(the most frequented medium on SFT by a wide margin) about how if "this post gets 30 reactions we will do the masterball contest). It took several several hours before enough people gave it a positive reaction, even after dpa implicitly stated that any other reaction would make the count go down. Even after ALL the way implicitly directions saying what would happen when the 30 reactions were hit, nobody ever asked about the masterball and we put one up and it still took forever for all 10 to be claimed. I get that posting it a day before could have produced slightly faster results, but the problem is A): People are having trouble getting their clients to work. B): Nobody is playing anyway even if we offer incentives just to open up the game.

My issue currently with events is that our playerbase isn't large at the moment, so the same 8 people would participate and win in every event. If this actually would encourage more people to play it then I'm all for it, but events are limited right now simply because any type of event would be for a small amount of players. When we put a Master Ball up on mystery gift, 10-15 people logged on for that. Considering a master ball is perhaps the rarest item on pixelmon right now, this is worrisome.

Quote from: iLaxrv10 on Jul 14, 2017, 03:54 PMI think that we should still at least try to offer premium shop things because I firmly believe that Technic just has to stop allowing new Pixelmon modpacks to be made, not closing down old ones.
Problem with this is our "updated" modpack will be released as a new modpack, so it fully falls under the "no new modpacks" category.

Demote the heck out of @saywhat2365 for not responding to things that I sent him a month ago that he said he would get back to me 4 times about.

On a serious note, I would be keep a lot of things similar. People seem to think drastic changes would produce positive outcomes, but truthfully, we wouldn't be here as a community if lots of things were different. Having said that:

-Automate a few things, such as(if not already done) guest to member promotions, as well as all other ranks based on uptime(Towelie has said in the past he wants to keep interaction between players and staff existent and this is one of those things)

-Rework our entire PvP mindset about certain rules(our changing rules and different rules this time around caused factions to die quickly, nobody's fault just it didn't work with how we did it). Introduce seasons and cycles to the Factions server as well as reintroduce Prison as part of these cycles.

Not to give away tooooooo many spoilers. But somebody is on the right track in this thread. ;)

Quote from: Towelie on Feb 22, 2017, 06:45 AMI want everyone to know that I credit @Dpa1991 for turning SFT from a single-trick pony (survival server) to a multi-server network.
You may not know, but He was the creator of Tekkit, Factions, Pixelmon, Creative, Ark and many other (now extinct) servers.
I'd say @Dpa1991 is a very important guy for SFT. I may have created it but he expanded SFT.

HAAAAAA I see what you did there.

I think people offering these solutions as if they are gospel or somehow "easy solutions" in their mind need to realize that at this point, we are getting into real economics. And from what I've seen, there is no real world solution that has been proven to work for any of the economy issues that there are. Examples:
"There aren't any ways to make money!", "there aren't any jobs", "All the rich do is drain money from the economy for themselves and hoard it!" "the rich will still be rich if we raise the tax so we can raise it to remove money from the economy(real world would put this money into the government, on SFT the money would just be removed)."

All of these are issues that economists and politicians have been trying to figure out for literally thousands of years(since at least Rome, if not earlier.)

Where people and money are concerned, there will always be greed.

Having said these things, a complete and full reset, no matter how harsh, would put things back to a nice economy(for a little bit, until progression catches up and people are back where they are in a year.) Things that could be removed to make this "money creep" slower:

-SFTMMO needs a serious rework as far as the bonuses and abilities. I remember you having to nerf mcmmo mining because of the possible 4 diamonds from one ore.. Some of the things I've seen with sftmmo and the tools are extraordinarily more overpowered than 4 diamonds an ore, regardless of how much you nerf the selling price of diamonds(diamonds are essentially the currency of the game if we didn't have emp, so if the value of the diamond goes down, the value of the emp goes down.)

-Create a limit of what players can sell to the emp. Not based on the item, but based on an amount. Essentially, the emp, if it has money, will buy anything from any player(or rather what you guys currently buy with it.) However, if it spends all it's money(whatever number you set that too, be it 100k to start or 1m or whatever)it won't be able to buy anything until players buy from it like an actual shop would have to .

-Empower(not the best word to use) the community and more importantly those that have the money to create jobs or things for other players to do. There isn't a real way to do this in the way we would like in the quantity and quality that we would like, but some kind of system in place for this would be ideal.

I voted for a full reset. People may be like "oh but you're an admin you can just spawn whatever you want." There are a few things wrong with that:

1. I don't keep anything I spawn in. I may spawn stuff in to look at it or to mess around, but afterwards it's immediately deleted.
2. I am one of the oldest players on pixelmon left, only knowing a few that are older than me. During this time I have acquired a lot of Pokemon, hundreds of shinies and so many 6iv and 5iv pokes that I don't even know what to do with them(giving them away crashes the market for others who are trying to make money by selling shinies/iv pokes)
3. If we allow people to bring 6 pokemon of their choosing, this allows them to bring in 6 perfect iv pokes and already start the breeding overflow that we have as is(it won't be too long before people have full pokeranches setup with destiny knots and everstones(not that hard to get if you grind bosses long enough.) A full reset eliminates this part of it and allows a completely level playing field for everyone to start over on(as far as IV'd pokes is concerned)

Quote from: BritanniaRules on Jan 11, 2017, 08:04 PMHave 2 levels of AutoShop permissions:

Top Level - The current AutoShop plugin (nothing changes).
Junior level - A new 'mini autoshop' plugin.

The 'mini AS' would have a limit to how many chests can be used at any one time (e.g. lets say 5 for instance).

This is needed, I would do that, but only if there would be at least 10
Just being honest, I like this idea sorta, but the problem is if you let someone have such a small donation for such a huge perk you have to limit it's usability or those that have donated for the permission will not like the fact that you are getting the same permissions they are for much cheaper. i.e. autoshops back in the day cost $40 or $50 for that permission alone(not sure what things like this are costing nowadays) If the price was say, $10, I could see at most 6-8 shop signs being able to be used. 10 items or more and you are pushing it for something like that, imo. Also, it's not going to be easy to set up, either.

Now, onto my request. I've been hearing stuff about prison for literally 6 months and was told it was never cancelled.. Is it cancelled? Is it still coming? Do we have a month that will be coming out at least? What about factions?

Welcome to Super Fun Time! Here's how to join our Pixelmon server and get started in under 5 minutes!

Technic Modpack
Download technic launcher: http://www.technicpack.net/download

Installing our Modpack
1. Run the technic launcher and click on the "modpacks" button.
2. Paste the following link into the search bar:
http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/sft-pixelmonAfter you do this, our modpack should come up. After you hit run, it will download our modpack, and then start your game!


Not feeling like Pixelmon? No problem! Try one of our many other servers:



General Tips and other info

Before starting, it is suggested that you allocate more RAM than the default. This will allow your game to run much smoother. There is an option to do this under the settings in the top right of the technic launcher. To do this, you need 64-bit java(most modern computers are 64-bit so compatibility will not be an issue most of the time.) You can download an updated 64-bit version of java here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html (x86 is 32-bit, x64 is 64-bit).

After you are enjoying your time on Pixelmon, don't forget to +1 our modpack here

By giving us a +1, you support our server and allow us to be seen higher on the server lists so that more people join and continue to grow this community.

Also, voting daily gives you rewards not only on pixelmon, but on all of our other awesome servers as well.

Just want to point out that the higher price of the two is what you will have to pay the emp for them. So Earthquake will still be well over 100k.. not sure what you think is outrageous but, this does not lower any of their prices. xd

HYPE HYPE HYPE.

Quote from: garow93 on Oct 10, 2016, 04:25 AMI can make you a rock-paper-scissors with Python that you played against the computer? :DDD *unserious post*
OK give me like 5 minutes and I'll make it in python

EDIT: I can't attach files. I don't want to paste the source in because it'll take up space, but I made it and it works.
Oh I wasn't being serious, that's a program that takes like 30 lines of code at most. Hence "Unserious post"

Quote from: magl on Oct 07, 2016, 07:47 AMwhat if it's the glitch where you evolve a pokemon while it should learn a move and it doesn't learn it? still have to pay or does the screenshot of learning the move still count

Glitches will still be handled how they were before with screenshots and the like.

And yes, we are on Gen 5's move tutor list.
22
Ideally, I don't want this to always be available to create a rush/buzz/need for it when the admin does open it. I tried running it tonight and only 5 people came, and 3 people bought something while the other two did not have enough money or did not understand it. That's boring to me. I want to open it and people line up til the end of the 15 pod system.
23
Have you ever gotten a Pokemon or bred a perfect IV Pokemon that cant learn a move or can only learn that move at level 1? I know I have and its very frustrating. Or have you ever wanted a move on a certain Pokemon that would help it out tremendously, but it can only get this move through a move tutor?Well, now there is a solution!

/warp MoveTutor is the new feature that the Admin+ team is implementing and it will work quite like the EMP on Survival! You will warp in when the Admin opens it, line up and stand in each pod and progress through the line to get to the Admin running it at the time.

Here are the more specific things:

Move relearning - This is open to all Pikachu+ ranks and is a flat 25,000 Pokebucks per move. Any move that the Pokemon no longer has but learned at one time through leveling up(this can easily be learned by the Pixelmon or Pokemon wikis) can be re-obtained this way.

Move tutoring is open to all Gymleader2+(subject to change).

The fee for this service is:

Accuracy: 200 Pokebucks per accuracy point.

Buff moves(moves that ONLY increase YOUR stats): No added charge.
Debuff moves(moves that ONLY decrease YOUR OPPONENTS stats: No added charge.
Status moves: Add an additional 10,000 Pokebucks on top of the accuracy cost.
Attacking moves*,**: 750 Pokebucks per base power of the move(i.e 50 base power move would cost 37,500 for the base power.)
     Priority moves: 1000 Pokebucks per power of the move
*Moves that have power that says "Varies" will be treated as the middle of possible powers.
**Event Tutor moves are not currently usable until we find a viable way to introduce them, although they may just be added in in the exact same way.

If you have any further questions, post them here, find me on Discord or ask me in game.

Happy training, Players.

***Prices are non-negotiable, non-refundable and subject to change without notice. The signs at the warp will be updated as soon as the prices are updated, so be sure to check the signs every time you visit it. Attempting to trick an Admin into teaching one of your Pokemon a move that it cannot learn or a move that was supposed to be a movetutor but you said move relearn or any other type of trick, is subject to the removal of said Pokemon up to the discretion of the Admin.

Why isn't "No" an option?
25
If lost is to stay, then it needs not only some work done to it to make it more stable, but also change the slots from 150 to something much more realistic, say 50, as it's easily changed later if somehow we get more than 15 people playing online at a time for it. As for the others, hunger games and the parkour servers should be shut down and moved to an event world on survival, maybe even give hunger games it's own small world considering how the game is played.
