[30 days]

Hey!

Due to some uncertainty regarding exactly when a build is considered inactive the staff team has had a vote to define exactly when that happens.
Your build is now considered inactive when all untrusted/guests that are a part of it have been inactive for 30 days and all member+ for 60 days.

Remember that you can post in the inactivity board if you plan on going inactive and want to keep your builds!

Hello everyone!

For a few weeks now I've been reworking the voterewards plugin and config, which has resulted in the following changes:

New features:
- The plugin now tracks your total votes, vote streak and highest vote streak
- Milestones: When you hit a certain amount of total votes you'll get a Milestone reward, which may include specific rewards or getting a reward from a high tier. For example voting for the first time will give you a bonus 3 steve co crates and keys!
- /vinfo to give you information about your voting stats. /vinfo player to see that of another player (member+ to use)
- /vtop votes/current/ever to see the people with the highest amount of votes, highest current voting streak or highest ever voting streak
- Tiers are now determined by your vote streak.
- Grace period: If you miss voting during an entire day as counted by the server, you'd normally be reset back to tier 0 (and vote streak 0). With the grace period if you vote within 5h of the server "resetting the day" (which it does at midnight UTC) you'll keep your streak!
- New special tiers: 5, 6 and 7. These do not occur as often as 0-4.
    - Tier 5 occurs once every 30 days, so when you've voted 31 days in a row tier 0 will be replaced by tier 5. Next time will be at 61 days. Tier 5 rewards are worth 100k on average (2x as much as tier 4)
    - Tier 6 occurs once every 100 days, using the same logic as above. You'll also get a reward from tier 6 every time you hit a multiple of 300 votes. Tier 6 rewards are worth 200k each on average.
    - You get a reward from tier 7 each time you hit a multiple of 1000 votes. Tier 7 rewards are worth 1m each on average.

Rewards have also been revamped! They now include lots of different items, with many new vanilla, pyrofishing, pyromining and slimefun additions. All tiers are at least as good as they were previously, and some of them have been buffed significantly!

Some of the new rewards include artifacts, dolphin tails, diamond ores, mythical fish, sifted ore, concrete, crab scales, fossils, shiny spawn eggs (rare so you won't get too many), rare steveco crates and keys, shulker shells, player head coupons and a very rare nether star. There's around 200 different rewards, which is too many to list so you'll have to find out for yourself by voting!

Something to be aware of is that we'll have to wait to get data from other databases, so everyone will get their first vote reward as they vote for the first time after the update.

Votetokens are a bit less common than before, around 10% less.

8. To sum it all up, make Creative unique. In other words, make Creative the Super Fun Time Creative server, not just any ole Creative server by considering the above. This may attract players who build on other Creative servers and increase the amount of the current Super Fun Time player base on Creative.

Most important thing IMO^ (Sorry I can't give many suggestions on it)

I do have a couple of suggestions:
- A forum section for the Creative server, with a General board and one for showing off your builds.
- Make an actual spawn that's more than a hut, things to include could be:
  - Build showcase (a number of warps to good builds we'd like to showcase)
  - Bigger tutorial with the /plot commands
  - Basic worldedit tutorial
  - Other commands
  - Rules!
  - Ranks and their benefits
- Use the 12 plots that are around the central 4 plots (all of those are claimed by BluetigerESW) to house build contest winners or just some really good builds
- Themed build contests.
- Some kind of place for people to post builds looking for advice on how to improve(different than just showcase)

What are you advertising: Autoshop
What is the warp to your business? : /warp MineShop
What is the name of your business? : Mining Guild Shop
Who is the owner of the business? : Wppvater

We specialise in Pyromining items as well as other mining items and equipments!

What are you advertising: Town
What is the warp to your business? : /warp SphereCity
What is the name of your business? : SphereCity (or SphereTown 2.1)

Hi!

I am working on revamping the rewards you get from votes, and without getting too much into it, it has required me to redo parts of the plugin's code.

One big consequence of this is that every reward you've got while voting offline and not claimed yet will disappear when we launch the update.
Do /claim now to not miss out on your rewards!

It may also be possible that everyone's tier will reset to 0 when we launch the update. I'm sorry about that, but there's not a lot we can do.

When will the update launch? Depends on how quickly I finish coding, could be tomorrow, could be next week, hopefully not later.

Do you have a suggestion for vote rewards? Post it here or DM me. Since I'm redoing the code it could also be structural changes, not just suggestions for what rewards you get.

Hello everyone!

On Saturday at 16:00 UTC (click here for countdown) I'll be hosting a wild wacky spleef tournament where we'll be playing several rounds of very different spleefs to challenge you, and there'll be big prizes.

Materials are going to change between rounds, so bring your entire toolkit, you never know when you'll need it

Old times... (W3 spawn autumn of 2013)
apparently this name autocorrects to a**hole... (stu), myself, shadowblade270, Bashur, ste2302, funkymonkey245 and ddude_stnom

Hello everyone!

We've switched our pets plugin to one that actually works now
It includes almost every mob in the game as a possible pet, and also the ability to ride your pet or have it on your shoulder!

It's a single unlock instead of multiple packages now too, however if you had the old pets unlocked don't fear! Everyone who did will have perms to the new plugin as well! (as soon as xQuic is done transferring them)

The main command to use the plugin is /pet (not /pets). Do /pet list to see a list of all possible pets, however the list includes the few pets that we've disabled like human and traderllama.

Our entire premium shop has a 30% Christmas discount right now, head over there to get access!

Hello all fisherpeople of SFT!

Today we've had a big update to PyroFishing, which introduced and changed a lot of features so I thought I'd list the most impactful ones:
- Fishing totems with all new upgrades! Available from lvl 20 PyroFishing
- Party fishing! For every other active fisherperson within 30 blocks of you, you get a bonus to entropy and experience from catch fish. Stacks up to 3 other players, at which point there's a 50% bonus!
- Entropy boosters and crab, platinum and mythical lures now work! (check with /fish boosters to see if you have any active)
- Crab spawn chance is now 2% (from 4%), but drop chance of items is 30% (from 10%) plus looting works, each level adding a flat 3% drop chance.
- Dolpins now drop dolphin tails 40% of the time (from 30%)
- Added fishing related rewards to tournaments, including a participation reward!
- Tournaments are now on a 90 min rotation, compared to 120 before.
- Some of the augment recipies have been changed
- There's now 12 fish of each tier of bronze, silver, gold and diamond.
- Killing fish now gives no entropy/experience. (The actual fish mobs that you can hit with a sword)

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Otherwise, let's fish the oceans dry!

Looks great, however one thing is incorrect: The vessels have random quirks, not only the quirk listed in /mine journal

Hello everyone!

Sorry about the delay, the BuildComp was really close and Saint and I had a really hard time deciding on the winner. We've finally done so, and would like to present the final scores:

Winners are The Big Chunkies with 72 points!
Runner up is Green with 55 points.
Third place is Wasted Seconds... with 46 points.

4th: Choose a name please #2 with 43p
5th: Army of One with 20p (and a 1st place in an event)
6th: Big daddy & The sugar babies with 20p
7th: The Demon Dogs with 10p
8th: Choose a name please with 6p

Well done to everyone who participated, we hope you enjoyed it

The winners and runner up may contact me or Saint in-game to receive their heads and custom item .
All emp prizes have been paid out.

I'm not trying to be picky but shouldn't the prizes be "for everyone"? What I'm trying to say is that many people don't do PyroFishing or PyroMining or Slimefun.. Shouldn't the awards be normal minecraft items which everyone will find useful?

Whilst that would be ideal it would be hard to have every prize useful to everyone. Also hopefully it will give people a nudge to try out pyros plugins since they are fun to play around with

That is exactly my idea. I hope we get more people interested in what I view as the long term progression plugins of the server, and if not it'll hopefully create player to player interactions because you can't sell those to the emp, you have to trade with other people.

Best of luck! I wish you a speedy recovery!

Spherecity Vote Party build will be on hold and I wish to remain on the project as this fits me perfect.

Of course! Take the time you need, it'll still be yours when you come back!

Hello everyone!

At 19:00 UTC on Sunday Saint and I will host the final event for this Olympics, Boat Race, but on a new track. After the boat race we will crown the winners of the Olympics, so all buildcomp builds must be finished by 18:00 UTC!

In addition, I'm offering 250k to whoever finishes the boat race quickest, even if they're not participating in the Olympics!

Remember to talk to me about doing the Redstone Puzzle too, where I'll give anyone who manages to finish the entire thing in under 2h 500k.

Results, as always, can be found here on this spreadsheet
Enjoy!

I personally don't mind the chat speed - it's like it was back in 2013/14 which is what I was used to anyways. I like that the chat is active and that there's always someone to chat to. Overall I think the change is a step in a positive direction.

However I think Green brings up a lot of good points, perhaps treating servers like we used to treat [Loc] and having a /sh command would be a good idea.

What does bother me a bit, as a survival one-trick, is the abundance of people on the other servers with colors that in my head are reserved for staff ranks only. I don't know how to solve this, but it took me like a day to realize that people that had a JMod green [Grunt] rank on Pixelmon were not JMods. Since on survival what color your name can be is very strict, this does bother me, especially now that our staff ranks are not named JMod, Mod, Manager, Admin, as we use halloween versions, and even when we're not, a lot of staff have custom prefixes so only the color indicates that they're staff. I can see this being very confusing to both new and old players.

We will also need to make sure that all staff on all servers are on the same page with what's allowed in chat and what goes over the line.

Hello everyone!

Today we updated the voteparty rewards, and in short - we made them a lot better! Voting is one of the best and easiest way everyone can help out the server, and we want to encourage you to do so.

A brief summary of our changes:
  You can now get some vehicles, including the otherwise unobtainable BLU Tractor.
  Around 10% of the time you'll get PyroFishing items, including entropy crystals, dolphin tails and squid tentacles!
  Around 10% of the time you'll get Sifted Ore for Slimefun
  Around 10% of the time you'll get PyroMining items like fossils and artifacts(including divine)
  The worst rewards are now worth around 1k - No more single prismarine shards
  You can now get all the Steve Co Crates
  Creeper head chance has been slashed from 1/8 to around 1/80.
  Extremely rarely, you can get a nether star!

In addition, Towelie has also made it so that you currently get rewarded twice every voteparty, so it's time to get everyone to pitch in so the party starts!

In addition I'd like to tell you a little bit about the rewards for regular voting. Assuming you vote on all 10 sites every day, you'll earn on average a little over 800k every 5 days, which is quite a lot. Even on tier 0 you can expect around 45k worth of rewards from voting on all the sites, while on tier 4 you can expect around 400k worth of rewards from 10 votes.

So remember to vote to help yourself and the server!

[Hosted]

The Olympic torch has been lit and the Olympics have started!

To start the Olympics off this weekend we'll host 2 Olympic events - QuickSand and TowerSpleef.
QuickSand will be hosted at 13 UTC on saturday. Link to countdown. Hosted
TowerSpleef will be hosted at 18 UTC on sunday. Link to countdown.
The members of the winning team for these events will each recieve 100k.

In addition, the two overarching events have now started too:
The Voting event started yesterday, and to clarify it's the team with the highest average amount of votes that'll take home the win.

We're also hosting a BuildCompetition at /warp BuildComp
The theme is Abandoned, and the builds have to be completed by the 25th. All teams have been assigned a plot.
Put worldedit requests down in signs and Saint or I will do them during the last weekend.

So how do you win the Olympics?
Each event gives your team points depending on how well you did - The winning team will gain 5p, 2nd 4p, 3rd 3p, 4th 2p, 5th 1p. For the BuildComp and Voting the scores are doubled, so the winners will gain 10p. We have a spreadsheet up where you can see how well your team is doing. At the end of the Olympics all the points are added up and the team with the most points will each win 1M emp, 1 player head of their choice and a special, custom item
2nd place team will each get 500k EMP and a player head.
3rd place will win 500k EMP.

Have you missed the sign up? Good news for you - you can be assigned a team by replying in the comments. Don't miss this chance!

Hello everyone!

SaintTheBarman and I are hosting the SuperFunTime Olympics, which will last from the 1st of October until the 25th. During that time the teams will compete in a total of 10 events, 7 of which will be hosted during the different weekends at different times to allow everyone a chance to participate, 1 which can be done at any time, and 2 which will run the entire length of the Olympics.

This form allows you to sign a team up to compete. Team size is 1-4, though we encourage you to be 3-4. Teams must be signed up by 17:00 UTC on the 1st of October.
The one event that starts before that time is the Voting event, where your team's score will be the average number of votes that you can get between October 1st and 25th. More events will be announced in a post shortly after the deadline.

If you want to search for a team to join, please reply to this thread saying so, and maybe you'll find other people looking for teammates!

You can now sign up here individually to be assigned a team

The prizes will depend on how many teams sign up, however the players in winning team will each walk away with 1M emp worth of prizes or more.

Current teams:
Green - Green_Giant
The Big Chunkies - TristenC7, AtomicPulse, cheddarsoup and 4danneh7
Big Daddy & The Sugar Babies - OrangeJuiceeee, SaiTheSavage, SwiftKingAce and TropicalAttract

This is the most amazing nail salon I've ever seen.

Yessss, I've been saving so many ores for this!

Fixes:

CrazyAuctions doesn't tax either person, allowing the people who have those permissions to bypass the tax. (for example by swapping the items and then putting up a stick for however much they agreed to pay)

Make /pstats display X weeks once the person has actually passed X weeks inactive. Right now it displays a rounded number, so 2 weeks and 4 days will display 3 weeks, allowing builds to be BCVed quicker than they should.

Update www.superfuntime.org/empcalc (I think it should just be dragging the config for emp prices)

Change:
Can the XP rates for the McMMO combat skills be increased? The other categories are slow but fine, however the combat skills are insanely slow.

Make the active McMMO mining ability Superbreaker's triple dropchance work with silk touch pickaxes. Currently it only works with fortune picks. (which if you read the McMMO wiki it's actually supposed to work with silk touch, but not fortune).

Include the 200 hopper limit in the building section of the /rules book.
