Good point td, and I agree. Energy cannot disappear, that is basic chemistry. Large power plants, cities, and even mass groups of people contribute to this. Where does the heat go? It doesn't. It's trapped by our atmosphere. You raise valid points and I'm willing to rewrite my theory as to what is happening: Global warming is caused majorly by both natural climate change and the mass-population, technology/power plants, etc. I honestly have no idea which of the two causes more, but I know for sure that it is happening.

These crazy wackjobs who claim everything is a conspiracy and that the government is lying about global warming/climate change are sooo mistaken. This happens with everything. Vaccinations, Global Warming, other major topics of scientific discussion.

Roblox wouldn't be a good investment in my opinion. "Let's take it from one block-ish game that isn't doing good to another less popular block-ish game!"

We're growing up. Getting bored of Minecraft. School. Money's tight. Saving up for school. Choose any of those, no one's going to put money towards something that they don't use/are bored of/have no time for/can't afford

Quote from: American_Walrus on Sep 09, 2016, 02:18 AMThe Earth has always and will always change. I believe the vast majority of the Earth's climate change is due to naturally occurring processes our world goes through. Like puberty.




Since the existence of human and industry, the Earth has been warming up really, really fast, much faster than its natural rate.
As much as I don't want to have a debate with a random person online, I'll just (and only) reply with this: We don't know the "natural rate". The Earth has a tendency to heat up and cool down, and we honestly don't have a pattern or "rate" to follow. An Ice Age in early Paleolithic times allowed people/our ancestors to migrate across the Siberian/Alaskan land bridge. Whenever the Ice Age stopped, the land bridge got engulfed by water due to melting glaciers. However, letting plants and animals flourish and letting humans finally make Agricultural villages, Chiefdoms, and eventually vast civilizations such as Mesopotamia or Egypt. What I'm saying is that we haven't experienced nearly enough of this strange cooling down and heating up to determine a "rate", pattern, or a scientific law.

However, I do believe that humans contribute to ozone damage, thus making the protective layer less protective. Although we do, and I acknowledge that, damage our own lovely ozone layer, I still believe this is a natural process that we have yet to make a pattern for.

Woo, first vote. Infection seems fun, I dabbled with the idea a lot while I was EventHost. I would love to see it implemented

Doesn't matter for me, I just stick it in whatever pocket. I always carry a pen, my phone, keys, and most of the time, I carry a small notepad for school. (Little reminders, due dates, etc). A lot of the time, almost all of it ends up in 1 pocket

I voted a bit back, never actually put in any input. I'll change that. Voted sometimes

I'm only going to talk about Survival as this is my home server and where I spend 98% of my SFT time.

Staff: Staff are great, and I spent a good portion of my SFT time as EventHost, so I have a firsthand look at this. They are helpful, quick to act, and playful. I'm not only going to compliment them, however, because there are things that need improved (In my opinion). I think that some of them can ease up a little bit. This is not a problem for the majority of staff, but for the ones it does apply to, I am talking to/about you. If you confront someone for griefing, be nice to them. Most of the time, they simply did not read the rules and are unknowledgeable about their wrongdoings. Everyone thinks that they are right until they are proven wrong. Be extra nice about telling them they are doing something wrong. I know @Sparkle_Sun has responded to things like I have just said saying that she is actively trying to improve things like that (and she has), so that is all I will say.

Punishments: Ease up. When I was EventHost, I banned only the people I HAD to. I banned 1-3 people for cheating in events. Ever. Some staff are kick/ban happy. Instead of kicking someone who is spamming a question, answer the question! Then ask them not to spam. People will respond vastly greater to the people who help them, not punish them. On the other end, don't unban someone who has been banned 3+ times for the same/alike things. Don't tell me this hasn't happened. It has.

Just generally, ease up, but  be strict when absolutely needed. Think about the logistics and psychological aspect to it. If you do something to punish someone who thinks they are doing nothing wrong, they will most likely not respond happily. Explain more. Say please. Be more patient, kind, and helpful. That goes for everyone, not staff.

Quote from: ThesonofHokusi on Jul 27, 2016, 09:57 PMAlthough it must be enforced that staff follow language rules as well sometimes they get out of control :)

Quote from: Sparkle_Sun on Jul 26, 2016, 12:34 PMThat's why I included how staff should handle situations. If you see a staff member do something wrong, take a screenshot and tell a Manager+ so they can sort it.
