I'll check it out when I get the chance and contribute some pics and links too. Arizona all day everyday nothing else beats the $1 at the gas station here. Also I'm sure you will appreciate if the camera was pointed down a bit more I had matching shoes for my hat.

Off Topic / Re: itt we talk about our grades
« on: April 19, 2016, 08:12:11 PM »
When I was in highschool I cruised by with every grade, A's, B's, C's, D's, and E's (we had E not F), not giving a single stuff to do 1 piece of homework but showing up after being absent for like 2 or 3 days at a time and ace quizes and tests no problem. It wasn't the material that was hard, it was the fact that we had so much homework that I simply gave up on ever doing it when I got home because I had a plethora of other responsibilities as well as no room for socializing, going out or doing fun stuff without just saying "forget it".
So as I cruised along painfully being told by administration and teachers that I should probably do my homework, I would always tell them to look at my Illinois Standardized Application Testing grades, my ACT score, my SAT score, my MAP scores and various other testing we did throughout highschool as, well, they were very above average and I was in the top percentile for some. They'd be like well if you understand the material so well maybe we need to put you in more advanced classes, I enlightened them that when I switched from middle school out of district to freshman year in their district, they refused to put me in classes that I should have been in, being told excuses about my transcripts being transferred. So I would be in Algebra 1-2 when I was supposed to be in pre calc. All throughout middle school I was in advanced classes.
So imagine my frustration when the year following my graduation (2014) they loving REMOVED HOMEWORK GRADES COMPLETELY and you do not have to do a lick of homework at all. Your grades are now completely dependent on in class assignments as well as quizes, tests, and participation. Now had that been applied to my case as well as various others' in my class, we would all have top notch GPA's. However, it looks like the current highschoolers get to do exactly what should have been done years and years ago. I understand the principle and ideals behind having homework, and it doesn't go away even as an adult in a work place, but it sure as forget doesn't help any more than it hurts.
So yeah that's my handicapped highschool rant. It almost feels wrong for something that big to happen, to just have a "when homework counted" graduates and "homework doesnt matter" graduates a year apart. I personally know a few kids in school who have dropped out or passed by with an abysmal GPA simply because they didn't do homework. Now what if they had those opportunities that the current kids there do. It's morally forgeted up.
Homework went from 15-40% (depending on teacher or class) of your grade, to 0.000000000000000000000%.

I've bought and eaten 50 nuggets for myself before so getting paid to do it would just be icing on the cake.

I hope one day I can acquire insurance like that
I pay $115 just for liability on my 2001 Mercury Sable with 0 tickets and 0 accidents at age 20 through Geico.
My good long time friend pays $60 on a 2001 V8 Cadillac DTS through USAA with several tickets and accidents at age 20. He's pretty lucky though getting grandfathered into a USAA account that he almost shouldn't be in. Pretty sure he can keep it his entire life which I'm jelly of.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Should Blockland feature a votekick/Voteban system?
« on: October 09, 2015, 10:56:57 PM »
Lmfao no.
The guy who is doing good at the death match gets called an "aimbotter" > votekicked even though he is just good
The guy with an unpopular disagreeing opinion > votekicked
Or when you have a bunch of friends together that can votekick everyone else off.
From experience, other players will often choose "yes" for a votekick without even knowing the story/just on impulse. The act of having your name put up on blast and saying you have a poll against you for votekick automatically comes with a negative connotation and might impart the "guilty until proven innocent" vibe in other people who will kick you off for no reason.
That being said, if it's a mod then so be it. Server administrators can deal with abuse, or with people not joining purely because of the system which leaves you with a choice that's not being infringed upon every time you play this game.
and this is coming from someone who's played blockland since '07 and pc games half my life.
This lol

Why not give blockland voice chat by default while we're at it.

Off Topic / Re: 24/7 Landocraft Modded Minecraft Server (ModPack Requests Open)
« on: October 05, 2015, 05:57:26 PM »
I find myself playing on this server almost every night alone because I never see anyone else on. I like playing with a bunch of mods but If I had to make a request, something to make mobs stop spawning in my house even though there is a metric forget-ton of light. Also Chisel crashes me every time I try to use a glass block, glass pane, iron bars, or automation blocks. Now we all know the default glass sucks ass and the clear glass from Tinker's Workshop is completely transparent and looks like stuff too. A way to resolve that would be nice as those are pretty important blocks.
I'd also recommend decocraft, betterchests (or any other mod that allows you to make bigger capacity chests) and clearing out any of the mods you don't necessarily care for since all the incompatibilities probably add up.
That being said, we should get some more people on here as well as maybe a map restart (since I don't really see anyone playing anyways)

Server is fun but I haven't seen anyone on in the past couple days of playing.
Not to mention I've slowly been learning these big mods step by step with no one to help lol. But I've been doing pretty decent making a very modern/contemporary house and using the wikis whenever I'm bored to read up on them.
