Drama / Re: ravencroft flips out on me for no apparent reason

« on: December 01, 2016, 12:11:52 PM »

When I called SuperSuit a troll I was only basing that on what he said to Ravencroft, it looked like SuperSuit was in the wrong here but that's not actually the case. Ravencroft was totally provoking Super for no reason.


I think sometimes we forget that Raven is just like the rest of his friends, a huge troll.

General Discussion / Re: LAN trust when online

« on: November 30, 2016, 07:43:08 PM »

I can see how you might think it's creepy, but I really just wanted a good way to display what team other people are playing on.
It doesn't affect you outside of the server and you're not able to build while playing so I figured I may as well make trust do something. I try to make it super obvious what it's for, if you try to remove the trust it explains what it's for. I also have a command that explains what it means for anyone who is confused.

LAN = Spectator
Build = Guard

I could make an option to turn it off but I figure once you understand what it means it's helpful.

The map looks awesome Ostinyo.

this server's a player leech

Make a better server and steal the players then, people choose to play it. I don't force them.

make wardens do full words

how I am supposed to know what fr lr means? ar?

next time i'll warden up, say "mags. nobody will understand it, I will shot everybody because they are supposed to know what mags is.

Wardens aren't supposed to shorten words like that, they should be spelling them out fully. Try reporting it next time, sorry that happened.

Add-Ons / Re: Blockland Glass 3.2.0

« on: November 25, 2016, 11:55:16 AM »

I think a bot works fine for the most part it just needs a bit of improvement. I've noticed this stuff:
People get warned for caps way too easily, just a couple words in caps trigger it.
The fact that you can't say discrimination words and such should be written somewhere because it's a norm for the internet and users are surprised that they can't.
Sending chat messages too fast should be blocked.
Sending only emotes should be blocked, and there needs to be a check for empty emotes (pretty sure this is on the to-do list)

I also think that if rules are clearly displayed, users should be warned (and their messages should be blocked) before they're even sent to avoid this kind of stuff.

when modders clash ^

Are you stupid? This isn't clashing in the slightest, he is just stating that instead of creating an entire new website to do pretty much what the RTB archive does already and what Glass is trying to do to just keep it in one place. It'd be a dumb idea to go through with this, we don't need a thousand different websites to get add-ons from, you should at least try to work with Glass first.

General Discussion / Re: Crown & Niblic's Jailbreak [Poll]

« on: November 21, 2016, 11:08:54 AM »

I've changed the valid hosting times since we've gained a decent amount of new staff members in the last month or two.
12:00PM -> 12:00AM EST the server is "openable" this doesn't mean it will automatically close at mightnight, just can't be opened past then.

this server has some of the most biased above-the-rules staff i have ever seen its really bad, and every time i try to bring it up i get muted.

Kind of wanted to actually address this past my snarky comment. The reason moderators might appear above the rules is because they're not really intentionally breaking the rules. Some moderators don't understand the scope of the rules yet and aren't fully able to enforce them because they just need practice. There are a lot of situations that can arise while moderating that need on the spot decisions and specific adaptations of the rules. Not all of the staff are capable of doing this yet.

It isn't the goal of the staff to punish just because someone breaks the rules, it's first to educate the player and then if they break the rules on purpose they can be punished. I want people to enjoy playing, this server is complicated at first and just because you don't understand all the rules doesn't mean you should be banned. If someone is punishing people just for breaking the rules they should be reported to a super admin so we can help the staff member out. I do see where you're coming from with mods being above the rules, but it's with good intent.

there was a DM afterwards for a bit

I removed the afterlife deathmatch because I prefer people spectating to being in their own worlds. It's more fun if everyone is watching the last Prisoner do their last request, it's better if something hilarious happens and everyone is watching. I get that it's boring while you're dead, trust me. I'd just tab out and go on Imgur or Facebook or something while you're dead, a ding sound plays at the beginning of the next round so you know when to tab in.

Drama / Re: Jailbreak in a nutshell.

« on: November 02, 2016, 07:19:55 PM »

Every time you load into my server if you have less than ten hours in-game time logged you are presented with a box that you cannot close for 3 full seconds. It contains info that tells you where the rules are and how to contact the staff if an issue happens. My server is difficult to play at first but you clearly didn't make an effort to try to play correctly.

Let's see what you did when you played:




Oh look, you just complained about getting freekilled while dead when nobody alive can hear you. Not once did you use /a to try to get any issues resolved.

I don't blame them, that's my guess too.

Add-Ons / Re: Blockland Glass 3.1.4

« on: November 02, 2016, 05:28:52 PM »

There should be similar quality control as to that which RTB had.
But considering how this is set up, you should inquire for a set of closed beta testers who will test the addons, and updates, before the release.

We already have this. Add-ons that are downloadable on Glass should have been tested and scanned over for any malicious or broken code. Everything has to be accepted.

Do you have Ratings systems planned or already implemented?
What about comments?

If you took literally ten seconds to click on an add-on you'd be able to see that yes there are ratings and comments.

General Discussion / Re: how do we get players back to BL

« on: November 02, 2016, 12:16:11 PM »

Playercount is almost completely dependent on the servers that are open. Tons of people launch Blockland to check which servers are online and if they see one they like they'll join which adds to the player count, but a lot of time the they don't see anything fun so they get off. It isn't that complicated, you don't need to figure anything out. It's simple as that.

There have been numerous other threads that are basically the same as this one. OP just says we need to come up with better server ideas, great. But nobody actually does anything after people say their ideas.

Host better servers if you want more people to play the game.

Super cool. I think it would be even better if you worked a bit on making the tables look a bit nicer using CSS. I get that it is supposed to be simplistic but still would be cool to look nice.
"New" markers on unread stuff would be pretty nice as well. (Maybe this is a thing and I just didn't see)
Also markers on sticky'd posts.
