Quote from: Jyncs on Sep 14, 2016, 06:44 PMThis guy had my attention after Bernie lost the Primary. However I just don't agree with 90% of where he stands on the issues. I really feel he is trying to capture a lot of those who don't want Hillary or Trump and I just don't think it will work.


I do not think either choice is a good choice this time around, that being said they are the choices I am given and I always suggest to everyone to look at where the individual stands on issues and how they align with how you think. Remember we are voting for who we think will best run this country and not on how TV famous someone is or because of their gender.
While, you may be right that he's trying to appeal to voters who are disappointed with the current nominations, he's still the better option of the two.

And here's why:

Immigration: He believes free market should determine the level of migration. And we should find a way to allow immigrants to work in the U.S legally instead of deportation.

Abortion: He believes in her right to choose and the government shouldn't impinge on that right.

Criminal Justice: Reduction in incarceration, Bringing back Judges discretion for individual cases, Legalizing marijuana, and reclassifying other illegal drugs.

Taxation: Plans to reduce taxes. Reform the existing tax system with a single nation consumption tax. Meaning a single rate across the board for food and other goods. This isn't my favorite policy from him since it could hurt the poor and help the rich.

Environment: Plans to protect the environment from pollution. But, he doesn't support policies to mitigate climate change since they are costly. Again, still not the best policy from him but can easily be improved.

Overall, he means well with his policies and I think he has what it takes to run this country. Sure, he's not the "perfect" candidate but he has enough experience and temperament fitting of a US president. With that being said, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

Neither, Gary Johnson for POTUS.

Nice one IPwn! I'll help if you need. Looks pretty good. Maybe we should start the SFTNews again?!?!!??!!



A quick video I made 3 years ago... Alongside continuing Miricx's project -- SFTNews.

Will try to record/edit a video sometime this week. Probably will be much better quality.

Quote from: Mk4 on Aug 06, 2016, 04:54 PMHighly unlikely as people can claim the maps as their own etc it was the same with the old prison map, wasn't published to public because of the fact people will save it and publicize it further claiming it as their own.

Implying people don't already do that here on SFT?

Quote from: Nicadean33 on Aug 06, 2016, 05:31 PM@Lucy_23x if you cannot handle change in a game I feel sorry for you when life starts going hay-wire. If giving up building is your intentions so be it, but please try to understand where Towelie is coming from here.
Don't get the impression that I'm crying over spilt milk. I just don't like spending time on a build, and having it wiped because other people aren't active on the server my build is on.

I feel like @TRITIUMNITR0X felt the same way after losing many of his awesome builds. From CoD maps like Kino der Toten, Five, Ascension to Factions bases for Gods, and of course the old prison map. So, it's definitely understandable that you're upset @Lucy_23x but no reason to quit something you enjoy doing.

Quote from: Mrs_Ender88 on Aug 03, 2016, 02:15 AMI think Terraria, 7 days to die, or what about Starbound you can now mod it. All very fun games and I own them all.  ;D

We've had all three of those servers... Multiple times even and none of them worked out.

Starbound did just get fully released though. I'm playing it right now and I can tell you they've improved it a lot since the last time I played. (Which I believe was around the time we had a server for it)

It's worth taking another look at it, I think. It's similar gameplay to Terraria, but since you can travel between planets it doesn't have the problem with the world getting cluttered.

Oh, I wasn't saying we couldn't try them again, just noting we've tried all of them before.

My bad. Extreme heat and 8 hours of work xD

lol, ok no worries. Just wasn't sure which it was. Good to know.
The game is a part copy of minecraft in the fact you have to go mining and you can build, but it adds a much more rpg side and less square blocky side into the game, theres a huge amount of biomes, a large amount of things to craft and be made. If you've ever played terreria. Its that weapon and biome system but with a minecraft building style to it.

The game itself is free on steam as well which opens to a much wider audience who simply cant afford other games to play on server like the rust or ark for example, it takes up hardly any space, and doesn't need a decent pc to run it.

Only issue i've bumped into so far is the game has only been released 2 weeks so is in a very early alpha but they are constantly adding and updating to it so theres no reason it won't grow into something
 

Doesn't seem to have any developer support yet. Guess it's good enough for a server though.

Not sure how you would explain this... I wouldn't call any server below 10 players active.



Not sure what you're trying to prove here, we know the current state of the servers.

Parkour, Qwest and west are due to be closed (Parkour moving onto survival, honestly not sure why it was ever put as its own server anyways)

Bteam is our 3rd most popular server or 4th? idk anything about pocket.

Lost seems to have the same few players and likes to crash *a lot*

Creative was never intended to be a server that plays at 32/32 players. It's meant to be a go-to server if you want to experiment with a build and don't feel like going to singleplayer.

Ark is only 1 month old and is going through ups and downs.

Rust is also fairly new.

Also, from your little screenshot:

"Do you have a server or game that you think we should host? Post a suggestion thread"

You're acting as if we are only focusing on minecraft. This is not true, should we completely kill off minecraft and focus on nothing but new servers? Should we kill the only thing that is somewhat working right now, so at the end of the month when we have nothing left?

Well, it's good to know the current state of the servers. I didn't know about any servers being shutdown or moved over. Also, I never said we had to kill off Minecraft. I just don't think we should continue pumping out Minecraft servers which the upcoming ones (I know of) are Creativeverse and prison. I'm glad to see Ark, Rust, LiF, Don't starve etc. are making a presence on SFT. Hopefully that trend continues and we can move away from Minecraft servers.

Yeaaaah, no.

We have 8 Minecraft servers and 2-3 other servers that are active. I think he's actually spot on in saying this community is Minecraft based.

Quote from: Towelie on Aug 01, 2016, 12:27 PM@Jyncs - If rust starts working out we can find a better host for it.
The reason we hosted it on the windows machine was because the rust dedicated server for linux was broken when I tried.
Why not let Jyncs try to put it on the Linux server? I've seen it done before, so I know it works. Worst that happens is it still doesn't work but it's better than forcing Rust to be EU only since the ping is way too high for US players to deal with.

Quote from: Fractalion on Jul 31, 2016, 07:41 PMI voted somewhat.

I feel like survival is starting to stray too far from the base game. We have trains, planes, cars, and motorcycles now. We have pets that fight for you. Slimefun is basically a lighter version of some of the stuff you'd expect to find in machine based mods. SFTMMO powerups are so completely broken that I have more ores than I'll ever know what to do with.

If I wanted to feel like I am practically invulnerable and have a ton of power, I'd play on a modded server. I know I don't have to use SFTMMO stuff or Slimefun stuff, but if I don't I'm just imposing a disadvantage upon myself that no one else on the server has.

I know it sounds kinda weird, but in a way, we've added so many things to the experience that I think the experience is no longer as good as it used to be. I'm not saying we need to go back to the number of plugins we had back in alpha or anything, I'm just saying that I think in the last few months we've strayed a bit too far from the base game, and the survival experience is suffering a bit because of that.

I voted no, for the reasons Fract put for Survival and even when we branch out to "other servers" it seems most of those servers are half-baked with the exception of Ark and Rust. But, even when time and effort is put into them, not a single dime is dropped for proper advertising and server support which leaves them to die out. Lastly, not server related, but I feel SFT has lost its touch. I remember when we used to have things like SFTNews, SFTRadio, etc. that really made us special. We don't have any of that anymore. What SFT needs is a better plan for the future of the community and its servers and unfortunately that's not the direction we're heading now.

Quote from: xQuicScopex on Jul 29, 2016, 12:24 PMwill discord be connected to this server like the other sft servers?
I will add this to my list of things to look into it sounds possible

I mean its not like a life or death thing just something to ask so I can stay in touch at work
@darknuju  Do you think a discord mod for this server would be possible? That would be so badass. I know discord has an api now.
With a bot it seems plausible but I will have to look more into it I know how to make discord bots


If you go to this page: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me#top and create a new application
Give your bot a name and hit "Create application"
Click "Create a Bot User"
After that, head over to https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=CLIENT_ID&scope=bot replacing CLIENT_ID with Client/Application ID under "App Details"
Add your bot to a server and go back to the applications page, you need to 'click to reveal token' and then in code you will have to login with that token.

Then the rest is history from there.
EDIT: Here's a good example that uses Minetest and IRC instead: https://github.com/minetest-mods/irc

General Announcements / Re: Regarding nudes
Jul 27, 2016, 08:09 PM
I don't know why this is even an argument? You send/receive nudes within this community, then expect some consequences. It would be the same deal if you decide to distribute illegal drugs through this community. If it's illegal or it's legality is questionable then it really has no place in this community. Plain and simple. If you want to conduct in illegal activities then do it at your own risk, not putting SFT at risk.
