Drama / Re: WTF is up with this guy !?!

« on: January 14, 2011, 05:22:48 PM »

This belongs in the Drama section.

It seems silly that he would just randomly delete your building, but he may have had a good reason. You should politely ask, next time something like this happens. Just keep calm when asking.
Also, flipping out and insulting the host, is very likely to get you banned, even if they did deserve it.

For minor problems, such as this, I reckon it's better to ignore them and carry on.
At 200 bricks, you could easily recreate what you were doing elsewhere, where it can be respected and looked after.

And as of note, there's no need to make a scene when leaving a server.
If you're angry with the admins or players there, just leave. You needn't make a scene and embarass yourself, nor amuse them as you leave.

build a chandelier

Ok. I'll have images in a bit. Done, but too lazy to upload to an imagehosting site.
Also, it's a bit on the small size, but I wanted it to be useable, rather than extravagant.
And, I didn't light it up, because I forgot to get any light Add-Ons, and default lights are too bright.
Build a car. Bonus points for things like an evented convertible.

Awesome.
August 10^th.
Was a Leo on the traditional, am at the very beginning of the dates for Leo on this revised version.

And I'll stick by the traditional zodiac.
Who cares if it's out of date. Tradition is Tradition, and I like my traditions.

General Discussion / Re: What is the best thing you have ever accomplished in Blockland?

Any number of the churches/cathedrals I've built.
They're not entirely realistic, and probably not attractive to most, but I've always been fond of them.
Plus, I usually hate building them, and find it a drag to do so, but once they're complete, I find myself quite proud of pulling it off.

If I had to choose my favourites, I'd have to say either a nice large cathedral-ish one, which I built for a medieval town, overlooking a lake, or a reasonably large one with nice stain-glass platebrick windows, which I built for an application into Real_Neo's EC Clan.
I mainly applied because a friend was in it, and wanted me to try and get in.
Not much happened with it, but the people who were in the clan were really nice people.

Drama / Re: "Isar Need Your Help" my ass.

« on: January 13, 2011, 08:05:38 PM »

I personally would be proud if anything I created was being saved and traded around because it means that it was good, builds stagnate if they aren't shared (just look at the USSR Afghan build, that still is used today). You could always have avoided this by building in single player or locking your server, you've been here long enough to know what some of members are like.

Got to agree with this part, regardless of the fact that it doesn't address the coming onto another persons server to argue, nor the impersonation aspect.

And I'm really sorry, but I still don't see how the impersonating is "ruining the Isar Tower".
So someone goes to LcyGamma's. The tower is incomplete and not functioning.
They get banned, or whatever.
If they've seen your topic, or heard of what's actually happening at your Isar Tower, surely they will understand they've been conned by someone else?
I don't see how it stops you from being able to host and continue your build, and make your Isar Experience any better.
The people who find the copies a disappointment can just head over to yours if they want to see the real thing.
I'd think they'd notice when there are two IcyGamma's in the Server Lists, hosting two same things.
Or just tell them to set their ServerLists to alphabetical...

And on the stealing aspect, it's impossible to stop. They're not going to be able to use it fully though, nor will they be able to expand on it, or replicate what you're doing new.

I'm afraid that pretty much all BuildStealing/Impersonating topics (Which these are both), just end up with the result of, don't bother caring what they're doing. They're still different and can't match up to you. Correct the people who get confused and carry on.
From the sounds of your popularity with the Tower, anyway, it doesn't seem like you're getting as much a negative feedback, or a drop in traffic as normal.
Even though it's been said also, it's really rude to go to another persons server, to have a rant at a visitor to that server.
You wouldn't barge into a strangers house to have a go at someone you know, who's visiting there.
It's the exact same principle. Ignore him or contact him privately. There's no need to make a scene for other people and ruin the atmosphere of another persons server, especially if you're not going to do anything there in the first place.

Milk chocolate is revoltingly sweet.

Dark all the way.

Pfft. Too sweet?
No such thing.
I'd know, I'm English. I sugar everything.

Can't get enough Cadbury's Milk Chocolate.
They're dark chocolate is good too, but Milk is just sweet, creamy heaven.

Off Topic / Re: Why not halo?

« on: January 12, 2011, 11:54:03 AM »

I reckon Halo has some pretty good guns and vehicles.
Of course they're "Dime a Dozen" guns. How many ways can you make an assault rifle or a pistol or a shotgun?
It doesn't stop there being any other versions of them on this game.
There are hundreds of rifles and shotguns and pistols, coming from being just a persons original design, being based off of a real life weapon, or from other games.
No one complains when someone makes another shotgun, or another pistol. That's a terrible front to hide behind. You don't want Halo Add-Ons, because you don't like Halo.

I don't see everyone posting on the Add-Ons section "Oh, we allready have a pistol! We don't need another one!"
Anyway, I think the weapons are cool. They'd be nice to have.
The Needle Rifle would be very cool to have. Something that does damage with each shot, but if the timing is right and the person hasn't died of damage yet, they take explosive damage from the collected needles.

Coughing blood? This is a sign of an organ failure.

Or zombification.
Please euthanize yourself immediately.
Seriously though, if you're coughing up blood go to a doctor.
I've heard of people on here deciding to not go to a doctor after passing out or badly cutting themselves, but if blood is being coughed up, you've got to get it checked out.
It's not like it's a normal thing to find in your blood.
Especially if you're coughing from walking. That would no doubt mean you're having trouble breathing while walking, right?
Top that off with a migraine, and you really need to get some sound medical advice.

Blockland Forums does not have anyone on it with any medical doctorates. Go find a professional.

Oh, because in so an alt.

[/sarcasm]


Seriously, does every post in General Discussion make you an alt?
http://forum.returntoblockland.com/list.php?cmd=view&id=9789

You misunderstood his joke.
He was trying to make a funny parody of Kompressor and Ephi's names. He didn't mean to imply that you were an Alt.
I'm going to guess that the game will pretty much end, lest Badspot has anyone else who would want to continue hosting the servers and updating (If it needs updating at this point) the game.

No what are those blue and white things.

I'm thinking they're people looking at the sunset.

But hey,

Picasso's work

It's Abstract!

I like them.
You should really think about getting the full version of the game.
I reckon with a large amount of bricks, you'd have some pretty decent mosaics and pictures on your hands.

And I now have a sort of idea to make largescale chessboard.
