Is this when it happens? 

When the Blockland community finally emerges from its black, hate-infested hovel, sets aside its differences with itself, and awakens to a world of progress and friendship?  Where we finally show the rest of the online community that we're not just a festering pit of starfishs?  Say it ain't so...

This must be the dawn of a new age!

Fooly's was the very first server I ever joined and the very first person I spoke to after buying a key.

Fooly Cooly's Pixel Art Server.

I wondered what ever happened to him...

Just keeping progress updated.  I joined a top server tonight in which >60% of the player list were 60Ks and above.

Right now Baddy is scuba diving in a pool of money.

He is an Officer, he'll be safely inside an armored vehicle telling his sargeants to lead their fireteams into combat. Also remember grunts hate three people on the battlefield: intel, recon, and officers.

I am an aviator.  Infantry and Armor dudes chill in MRAPs, not me.  I will be mostly dropping infantry squads on air assaults and flying MEDEVAC.  My sergeants do maintenance on aircraft.  Grunts don't really hate officers either since they are reliant on us for leadership and direction.  Only the Soldiers who don't understand the nature of our responsibilities hate officers because me make them do stuff.

All,

I've been a part of this community for a pretty long time - playing BL since late 2009.  I decided to make this thread not to seek attention, but rather to let you all know that I love you guys.  I've played servers with most of you every day and have come to know a lot of you on a pseudo-personal level.  Plenty of you are great players and a positive part of the community, while a lot of you aren't...but it's okay because I know you mean well.  Between the endless visits to Heed's TDMs or hosting City stuffty RPs back when I had a capable connection, I've enjoyed every minute of it.  This game and its community has largely defined my online-life for the past three years and I am grateful for having had the opportunity.  Good friends like Surburb, Swat725, Tezuni (regardless of all the drama which surrounds him; leave that crap out of this thread), and others have contributed to a positive experience with Blockland, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Only a few of those I named know what I do for a living.  I am a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army and I will be deploying for Afghanistan tomorrow to fly UH-60s in support of the ground mission.  It will be a nine month tour and I am uncertain as to what type of internet situation to expect, if I get it at all.  While I am nervous about to obstacles I am sure to face, I am happy and eager at the opportunity to finally exercise all that I have trained for. 

I will miss BL while I am gone and spending endless hours surfing servers.  I may get the chance to get online now and then, but nothing like the free-time I have state-side.  You guys are awesome and I awaiting logging back online circa May of 2013.

Peace, fellas.  Nooblet 2.0 out.

Drama / Re: Tezunis Jail Escape v21

« on: August 25, 2012, 03:23:26 PM »

So this discussion has gone from

Tezuni and his admins are bad

to

stuff burgers and farting cats

To reiterate, we never promised the server to be completely free of any and all player abuse.  It happens.  We try our best to stop it, but since there is currently no script available to automatically kill a guard who freekills a prisoner (similar to the Murder Mystery game mode) we cannot catch all of them.  Every game mode has loop holes which can be exploited or abused.  It is incumbent upon players to be responsible when they play and not play like douchebags.  Since the admins are usually playing in the actual minigame and not spying every single player continuously, we miss some, and starfishs slip through the cracks.

Keep in mind that some of you posting in opposition were observed unfairly killing another player during your visit to the server.  You are the pot calling the kettle black.  Now before you accuse me of victim blaming, just keep in mind that we know it is the responsibility of admins and moderators to keep the server civil.

« on: August 22, 2012, 05:11:40 PM »

freekilling is never punished and the admins don't do jack stuff.

I don't understand where these accusations of a lack of competent admin presence are coming from.

I was on the server literally all day yesterday while it was up, save for a window of about an hour.  I banned every instance of freekilling which I witnessed.  That amounted to nearly 25 one-hour bans.  I only ban for that reason.  All other offenses are kicks or the seldom server troll ban.

Players are freekilled once and therefore scream in the chat in all caps that they were.  They expect us to magically swoop down from the heavens with our gilded admin wings and instantly ban the offender on the spot.  When that doesn't happen the very first time, they label the server as stuffty and the admins stuffty.

The problem is compounded by morons who falsely accuse good players of freekilling just because they are mad they got caught doing something wrong. 

Long story short, I personally do everything I can to insure the server is run properly.  Please be patient, we are not perfect.
