Gallery / The Serial Killer that stole Christmas series - Episode 1

« on: November 26, 2016, 10:25:51 AM »

I made the start of a series. Its pretty short and it took about one hour total of acting and editing to make. I plan on making more as I get more actors, and they will be longer - about 3-4 minutes long each.
Here is episode 1:

More to come soon, probably next week.
Any suggestions or criticism?

Suggestions & Requests / Building points

« on: November 18, 2016, 04:19:45 PM »

I need someone to make a simple script that increases score by 1 point whenever you wrench, paint, hammer, print or place a brick. I'm going to need this for the Blockland buildoff 2k16 (thread in general discussion).

General Discussion / BLOCKLAND BUILDOFF 2K16 - Cancelled [P3]

« on: November 18, 2016, 04:16:42 PM »

WHAT?
The Blockland Buildoff is going to be a building contest - hence the name, but with a spicy kick! There will be a bracket of either 4,8 or 16 players and it will work like this. Both players are given a standard house, both made of the exact same amount of bricks. They are given one hour to build/decorate/fix parts of it. But here is the catch! Placing bricks, destroying bricks, printing and wrenching will all add 1 point to score! At the end, judges will say how many points they think a house is worth - then the value of the house itself and the renovation cost will be minused from how much they think it is worth. The winner will be whoever has the highest profits! $$$

WHEN?
The buildoff will take place when the slots are filled and the premade houses are ready - within the next month or two months. We will try to do the challenges at a convenient time for both of the challengers timezones.

INFO
The winner will be crowned "Master Builder" and if this is done a second time, an extra round for the two winners will take place. An actual prize is also being thought about, but is not definite. The judges are still being decided, if you want to become one, read further along.

When you search for the Blockland Forums this site shows up. Its description, name and link are all really shady? Is this a legit thing?

Suggestions & Requests / Star Destroyer download link

« on: October 24, 2016, 11:21:40 AM »

I'm working on an Empire RPG with missions, quests and travelling between planets, but I need a base. I tried making a star destroyer with ModTer and it failed horribly. All the links in these topics either don't work or don't exist, does anyone have a working star destroyer download link?

Server_Roleplay doesn't work with Slayer for teamchat, is there a way to fix this? It is possible because LegoPepper has done it, could someone tell me how?

Drama / eholt - Incompetent host

« on: October 16, 2016, 03:26:03 PM »

My Experience

A few days ago eholt ( https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=303656.msg9288914;boardseen#new ) posted some Military RP thread for his new server. I decided to join it when no other servers were up that had players on. As soon as I spawned I saw some ugly lines poking out the ground. People seemed to be driving around on machineguns doing stuff and no one told me to go anywhere, so I started wandering around. Instantly I was sprayed down by someone with an SMG. After respawning multiple times I was spawnkilled over and over. Eventually Skeletal started training me on some badly built training course and then took me to a half-built target practice area. After completing my "training" I started to look around. All the buildings were ugly boxes that had spammy roofs made of 8x16s and 4x4s instead of baseplates. There was not a rule board anywhere and the general would randomly call "Parades" which were just people standing on the ugly lines and if you stood on the wrong line you got shot. Eventually I took out a jeep and got perma banned for the reason "Suck my rooster" or something like that. I tried connecting a few hours later to see I was unbanned. I had to do training and was put in "Detainment" after killing someone who attacked me. In detainment was another user, who had been there for 2 hours in real life. We eventually broke out of jail using moveforward(0.1); and then got blown up by an apache helicopter without warning. Eventually I was released and then eholt reset the minigame. I stole a heli, shot open the walls of the jail to free the inmates and was then perma banned for "Mass trolling" without warning from eholt.

The Admins

The administration team consists of eholt - the host, and Skeletal - a moderator. Both the admins kill people whenever they do something wrong and ban people for breaking non-existant rules. It seems eholt is new to the game, as he does not know how to time a ban, for example giving a 60 minute ban. He just gives permanent bans and unbans you after a while or never unbans you. There is not a ruleboard anywhere and the forum link in the welcome message does not work, so almost no one will know the rules. I also have noticed admins breaking rules or baiting other players into getting banned. The ban reasons are nonexistant and usually just contain random swear words and terrible insults like "suck my rooster". If you criticize the server at all, or mention about the forum thread and how no one is saying the server is good, you are permanently banned - this happened to the user "Alts" and a few other people. Another thing is the eholt rushed this server. It is easy to escape jail and the camp itself, the towns are just spammy blown up houses and everything on the server could have less brickcount. This server looks like it was made in 10 minutes, which it probably was. Another thing is eholt has a very bad temper. He will instantly ban people, or start spamming "Damage Control" in the chat as an insult if you make him look stupid.

Other peoples experiences

As mentioned earlier, plenty of people have been banned for absolute trash reasons. The forum thread is filled with complaints and almost every single post is about "I was banned for this without a warning" which is believable, as I have seen this happen a lot ingame. Even more people who don't have forum accounts have been perma banned for breaking non-existent rules. 4 of the posts on the thread are talking about stupid bans, and the others are just explaining why the bans were stupid or other things about the server.

Overall view

Overall, I would not recommend this server. The administration, build, rules and function are all poor. If I could try and help this server, I would tell the host to take time with building, get an actual working rpchat system, add ruleboards and learn to give ban reasons and fair warnings. I doubt this will ever happen though, as the host is probably too lazy to put effort. The only current players are probably young children, as they spam the chat "OMG BAN HIM HE IS INSULTING THE SERVER" or "OMG I WANT TO SHOOT YOU, SHUT UP!!!!!!". Yes, those are actual quotes from the server.

Rating of this server:
2/10
"Atleast the minigame works"

General Discussion / Has anyone ever broken Rule 11?

« on: October 01, 2016, 09:03:01 AM »

Rule 11 seems like a rule that makes sense - but no one would break it by accident unless they haven't read the rules. Has anyone done something like rule 11 or actually mentioned the exact thing it uses as an example and been banned?
