Hi Tomsoz, I was the one who banned you for lagging the server.

As you stated in your unban, I did not witness you do anything to lag the server yourself, however the reason I banned you is because you seemed to be on a team with the player who did. As a result, in order to protect the security of the server, I banned you both.

Since you didn't do anything specifically yourself, I am willing to unban you so long as you promise not to cause trouble or engage in anything that could lag the server. Please put a music disc  :greenrecord: in your reply so I know you have read this and agree to the terms.

Please reply within 48 hours or this will be locked with no unban.

This wasn't an invite thing, it was entirely impromptu because Tow noticed a lot of "OG" players were online, don't feel left out because you weren't told because nobody was.

I know it's a tad late now, but perhaps also some extra time before you are dropped from your vote tier? Perhaps an extra 12 or 24 hours, it won't discourage people from voting daily as the rewards are still worth it, but it will stop people from losing all their progress just because they forgot or were busy. It my even have the opposite effect, encourage people to vote more often as there's less of a dis-satisfaction of missing a day.

One thing I would say, is that the number of plots a player should have access to should be tied to their rank. A few months ago a player went on and claimed hundreds of plots, I believe a suitable amount would be:

Drafter: 4
Apprentice: 8
Builder: 12
Constructor: 15
Engineer: 25
Architect: 40

All other ranks: unlimited.

Might aswell post here what I sent to Wpp the other day to see what other peoples thoughts might be:

REMOVE ITEMS
- Endstone (obselete)
- Rabbit Spawn Egg (Cheap on mobshop)
- Dragons Breath (Nobody uses this)
- Quartz (raw) - (Easy to gather)
- Writable_book (???)
- Golden Apple (Kinda pointless)
- Mob Transporter (No longer necessary as world reset has passed. Players can still craft)

CHANGE QUANTITIES
- Prismarine_shard or Crystal x16 tier 1 & 2
- Prismarine_shard or Crystal x32 tier 3 & 4
- Prismarine_shard or Crystal x64 tier 5
- Quartz_block varients - 32 tier 3 & 4
- Quartz_block varients - 64 tier 5
- Glowstone x5 tier 1
- Emerald x5 tier 2 & 3
- Emerald_block x3 tier 4 & 5
- Sealantern x5 tier 5

NEW ADDITIONS
- Diamond_ore - x2 tier 5
- Emerald_ore x4 tier 3 & 4 & 5
- Lapis_ore  x10 - tier 3 & 4 & 5
- Gold_ore x10 - tier 3 & 4 & 5
- Heart_of_the_sea x1 - tier 5 (rare)
- Snowglobe augment x1 tier 5 (very rare)
- Random fossil x1 tier 4 & 5
- Sifted Ore x5 tier 2 & 3 & & 5
- Mythical Lure x1 - tier 5
- Ender_Pearls x4 - Tier 1
- Ender_Pearls x8 - Tier 2
- Ghast_tier x2 - Tier 1
- Ghast_tier x4 - Tier 2
- Crab Claw or Scale x2 - Tier 1 & 2
- Crab Claw or Scle x4 - Tier 3 & 4
- Netherite_scrap x1 - Tier 4 & 5
- Bell x1 tier 2 & 3
- Mythical fish x1 tier 5 (very rare)
- Shulker_shell x1 tier 3 & 4
- Crying_obsidian x2 - tier 3 & 4
- Basic/Unusual artifact x1 - tier 1
- Epic/Exceptional artifact x1 - tier 2
- Legendary/fabled artifact x1 - tier 3
- Mythic/celestial artifact x1 - tier 4
- Divine artifact x1 - tier 5
Amounts can be adjusted. I might have gone overboard, because we still want keys probably dropping at the same rate that they currently do.

NOTE: Using tiers 1 - 5 as the example rather than 0 - 4 as it appears ingame.

What are you advertising: Autoshop
What is the warp to your business? : /warp HotTopic
What is the name of your business? : HotTopic
Who is the owner of the business? : Green_Giant

Additional information: It is inside of any auto that is already on there (Droffex) but acts as a completely separate entity. Would it also be possible to have in a bullet point "Specialises in Nether Blocks".

Pretty much what others have said is true. The main boardgame maps are how they are because anything more complex is very hard to host, and players simply do not have the patience. Just look how rarely Mario Party is hosted (properly). I will be spicing up some elements of boardgame in the new W3 to make them far more interesting without overloading the player or host with too much. If anyone has suggestions for these, please message me!

Quote from: George on Nov 07, 2020, 05:50 PMso you are telling me that i dont pay rent i own the actual thing but i will get kicked out if im inactive. get outta here dude

It's to make the town lively. They don't want a bunch of houses owned by inactive players sitting around when there are people who might really want to own those houses. I did the exact same thing with my town a few years ago (Nommy Island), and it worked really well- I had a population of very active players and homes were always available for those who wanted one. It also was a consistent source of revenue for the town ;)
Well no1 should have the permission to take your property.

To put it frank, it's not your property. They're spawn houses.

I see some merit behind the idea of the merge, but I feel in practice it doesn't quite work for our server. A lot of what I need to say has already been mentioned above, so i'm not going repeat that however I do have a few things to add. Here is my idea:

Definitely need to have the return of "/gshout" but with some edits to how the command works and displays messages. First off, I think it should be reverted back to /sh (message) - a much simpler command to type and many old players know this command as it was the old command to talk to all players on survival back when the server was busy. ALL messages should go to it's local server only by default, with the exception of any messages with /sh before it.

The chat message would look much like it currently does, however i'd suggest changing the server prefix to yellow so it sticks out as global message rather than a local one.

Example:



The formatting of /gshout (/sh) should be changed. Best described with an image. It should look very similar to how you've made it now, only the Prefix representing each server would be yellow so it sticks out more as a global message.


Next up is some changes to the tab list. I'm happy we finally updgraded from the old tablist. The new one has some useful featues like Ping and TPS, and it looks a lot more modern, however there are still some improvements I may suggest.

First, take a look at this screenshot.



All the servers have different ranking systems and colours. I have circled a particularly... cursed example (sorry @NotChocobo654321 ) I have a change that can be made to perhaps help mitigate this.

First off, remove all the rank prefixes from the tab list, and have it only display the player name in it's rank colour. The colour should be enough to distinguish their rank, without making it look messy, and cause long names to be cut off.

Second off, change the text that says "Survival, Pixelmon" etc. to bold and make it "admin red" and make the player count orange. I think it'd stick out a little more and fit the house style that is set by the information above it.



I would also suggest moving the Server name/count up a line, have 2 empty spaces on the right, and then have the playerlist of that server begin on the line below.

And then the last suggestion which would kinda combine both suggestions together to make a clean chat/tab - clean up ranks! The servers have all different colours, and some more uniformity could go a long way to making people adjust to this change.

Quote from: Towelie on Jul 25, 2020, 02:31 PMReally awesome, but please make sure to also move the other needed arenas (mobarena, murder, rooftops, etc etc etc).
Also, I'd like to request a big circuit for the new racing cars and superbikes.
Don't worry, we're on it! A new big circuit would have to built in W1 or W2 as vehicles are disabled in W3.

Greetings Super Fun Time!

I come to you today with a very special anouncement, after months of hard work, it's finally time to reveal what the Architect team have been at hard at work on. A new Event world!
JustAddWater has kindly made us a video teaser on just some of the work that has been done. Check it out above (and subscribe to him)!

What can you expect in our new world 3?

- Some new Events.
- Complete redesigns of current events, both in a technical sense as well as being 1000% more gorgeous.
- A whole world full of Easter Eggs, a huge attention to detail like nothing seen before on SFT.
- More automation and command blocks used to make Events seamless!
- More!

Now finally, the thing I bet you're all anxious to know, the release date. Sadly, the release date is still unknown at this point, but hopefully we will have a release date soon (still lot's to do!)

I'll leave you with a selection of screenshots taken by @JustAddWater










And has a bonus, here is one I took myself.

Another thing:

I don't think Terminal has been set up properly for murder.
- Needs more gold spawns.
- A few more cauldrons dotted about.
- There is NO altars set up at all yet, these are needed. Probably about 6-7 given the map size.

A lot of players also feel that /murder should cycle between maps automatically, so that players can just type /murder everytime rather than figuring out which map is next on rotation. I don't know if this is possible.
17
Is there any feedback on the following ideas that were presented in this thread? Never got any response regards to:

- Bringing back /randombiome
- Reducing the cooldown on /random
- Bringing back paintball
18
I think the vote rewards are something that keeps playing vote every day. It would be foolish to lose this plugin.  A new joiner the other day said we were number 10 on (whatever vote site) so the votes are clearly helping.

Vote tokens are indeed the only way to get a beacon or /fly - two things that a lot of players strive towards. We should really do our best to keep it.
19
Quote from: Darth_Noob on Jul 08, 2020, 05:16 PMSomething I just remembered is /randombiome. It would be great to see that come back imo.
Sorta similar to this, since we can no longer use /random bypass can the cooldown on /random be reduced a bit? Maybe to 5 or 10 seconds max.
20
It's fun! Good classic minigame.
Some things to be careful of though before you play:

- Empty your inventory/take off armor before. There is a rare bug where the game can stop and your inventory will be wiped.
- Pvp will be turned on for you, so after the event, remember to type /pvp off
21
Goodluck!

Dear Survival Players,

We're currently on the lookout for some new Event ideas that can be hosted by EventHosts/EventMods/Managers in World 3. Please suggest here if you have any interesting ideas, theres a lot of new mechanics in the game which means potentially we've overlooked some. Please consider the following:

- The Event does not use Plugins. The Event may use command blocks (so long as it's simple and doesn't require datapacks). If your event does need redstone/command blocks please try and describe it so it can be reproduced.
- The Event is easily hostable by the team (the simpler the better).
- Try not to suggest new maps of current events (for example a new Wipeout course or Boatrace map) unless you have a really interesting spin that could make it stand out.
- One of the things we're on the look out for particularly is new luck games (but any game is good)!

Don't be shy to suggest anything you can think of! The more ideas the merrier!

Many thanks,

Green

Been thinking about this for a while - a /kit revamp. As it stands a lot of the kits are useless, for example kit member gives you just two cookies and which always get chucked away.


Below is the changes to current kits I think should be made:


/kit starter - No change.

/kit member - 1x Milk Bucket, 16x Cookie, 1x Iron Chestplate

/kit veteran - 1x Horse Egg, 1x Saddle, 5x XP Bottles, 1x Emerald

/kit elite - 10x XP bottles, 4x Ender Pearls, 1x Diamond


Also think the introduction (or re-introduction) of some new kits would be useful.


/kit torches - 32x Torches (Available to all Guest+) - Return of an old much loved kit.

/kit farm - 8x Potatos, 8x Carrots, 8x Seeds, 8x Cocoa Beans (Available to all Guest+)

/kit crafting - 1x Crafting Table, 1x Furnace, 16x Oak Planks (Available to all Guest+) - Requested a lot from players i've noticed needing a crafting table in the wild. Will help stop trees being half cut down in the world.


None of these suggestions will do any damage to the economy, but create a nice balance between usefulness and also items to look forward to in the next rank.

Quote from: Kysentra on Apr 01, 2020, 02:49 PMDamn Green 8 years is pretty impressive. (and omg GotAnError, another old name).

I recently checked the event list and saw Tiebreaker is still around...that steal or share thing has your name on it. Let it be known that I am shamelessly claiming credit for originally bringing that idea to SFT, though you probably did a better job than my crappy old red and blue pile of redstone crap.

Love ya you lovely welcoming person you.
Ah yes I remember the old one, it was lost at one point and needed to be rebuilt. Wasn't sure who built the original but i'll add your name for credit now I know!

General Discussion / 8 years of service
Mar 03, 2020, 07:28 PM
Greetings!

Today (03.03.2020) I am proud to announce is my eight year anniversary of playing on the server! Thinking about it, 8 years is a very long time to be tied to a community, when many communities themselves can be lucky to last even a year. I'm gonna do a quick breakdown of my time here, I could go on for hours but i'll make it short.

I first joined the server in March 2012. Circle spawn was the current spawn. I was invited on by someone who wanted to get me banned and asked me to break a block in his house, thus summoning a staff member to punish me. Luckily my journey didn't end there.

I became JMod in 2013, that lasted for about 2 weeks before I vanished off the face of the earth, I didn't enjoy being a staff member.

In early 2014, I became a prominent factions player and also a Survival EventHost, which many of you know me for. I remained an EventHost for about 2 - 2.5 years.

In July 2014, I also won the Architect rank along with Supermee, by obtaining first place in Kaninka's build contest to recruit Architects. Since then, I have been heavily involved with many aspects of SFT. I have been working for the server for 6 years!

Nowadays, I am active sporadically but my involvement on the server is still ongoing. I have worked on many spawns or builds for the server as well as serving as staff, and I am also a patron.

I won't be doing a comprehensive list of people to thank, you guys know who you who are even if we may not talk/get along well. I want to thank everyone, who has made the experiences on the server what they are. Heres to making it to 10 years!
