General Discussion / Re: Add Ons, or No Add Ons?

« on: August 27, 2010, 05:34:21 PM »

I get addons if I need them for a purpose. Ex: I got a crapload of weps for a TDM that I'll be hosting soon. I do of course have a couple of "fun" addons, but I never dream of hosting a public server with them enabled.

I try to do the same thing, but I find it increasingly hard to enable and disable the right add ons each time I change my server theme. I also have a hard time making a definite decision of what bricks will/won't be useful. I just don't know what ideas I'll get.

Off Topic / Re: Horrible parenting.

I saw a young woman walking down the street near my house with a toddler crawling on the ground behind her, crying. She continued to turn around and scream "forget YOU forget YOU forget YOU...", and then continued walking, leaving the toddler in the dust.

That might not have been her child, but well... I'm sure people can see what's wrong with the picture. You just don't turn to a crying kid and tell them that. :/

I'm either unknowingly a very good troll, or you're just a very easy troll topic.

Look at the forum you're in. See how it has the word "Discussion" in it? That means that it's meant for discussing things.

General Discussion / Add Ons, or No Add Ons?

« on: August 27, 2010, 04:48:58 PM »

I've seen a certain contingency of people in Blockland who seem to NOT like Add Ons. The default is what they go by, and what they use. No new bricks, weapons, mods, tools, nothing. But I just wonder, is it really worth it?

One of the most obvious ones is Badspot. Whenever I've been to his server, he's had no add ons. This I can understand, because he made the game, so obviously he's satisfied with the options it has. But other people, why? Why not have add ons? The abilities they can open up, and the things they allow you to do, I really don't see any reason why people decide that for whatever reason, add ons are a sin or something. (My best guess is just the whole round bricks thing, that some people are against round bricks because they're playing BLOCKland. Therefor it can have no curved shaped, despite the fact that it's had some in the default version for quite some time.)

So. Do you use add ons, or do you not use add ons? Why do you think people decide to not use add ons?

I hope you guys know Badspot bans for bragging that you spam servers and stuff. Reported.

Because calling myself an starfish is totally bragging.

One time I decided to spam the living hell out of a server. But then a realized, I was being an starfish.

Still. Admins shouldn't just leave their server totally unprotected like that. Leave SOMEONE with admin, so it'll be protected for part of the time that you're gone.

General Discussion / Re: What age group do yuo think blockland is best for?

when u turn 13 u isntantly kno how 2 be matur nd use da internet!!1!!1!     

Well I never said that. But I think the legal part overrules maturity, and if a person under 13 is mature enough for the internet, they probably won't bring up their age and no one will ever know in the first place. (I've met several people on other sites who are like this.) The idea of an age group is just an estimate. That's an average of the ages of people who (correctly) use the product. But there are people who go against the average by being in the age group and not being able to use the product, and visa versa.

Suggestions & Requests / Thin Bricks

« on: August 25, 2010, 01:46:58 PM »

I recently noticed something interesting from "A Random Brick Pack". (Well, one of the interesting things.) In it, he has a couple of print bricks. They're the normal 2x2 print and the 2x2 round print bricks. But they're on their side. Making something like a thin brick. (A bit less than half the width of a normal brick.) It takes up the normal space of a brick, but look thinner. This can allow for a lot of new things to be built, such as flags, signs, walls, all sorts of nice stuff. So I'm suggesting that someone make these kinds of bricks in various sizes, like a 1x1 brick, a few wall bricks, maybe a plate size or two. But I would really enjoy having more bricks like this, because I'm already using the ones I have nonstop.

I went for the 13-15 range. People younger than that 1, aren't allowed to share personal information through the internet. And 2, they usually just don't know how to handle the internet at all. People older than that are fine with me, they'll probably be even more mature and know how to handle things even better.

I like a lot of Bushido's addons, but Jirue always came out with the prints that I needed. And whoever made A Random Brick Pack is pretty amazing too.

Drama / "Considerate" Builders

« on: August 14, 2010, 04:50:34 PM »

"I'M FIRING NOW GET READY"
"Ready for what?"
*Server Lags Out*

Don't you just love the people who, when they do something stupid that lags out the server, they take the time and consideration to tell you that they're doing it, and to get ready to lag like hell? I sure know I do. /sarcasm

I've been in many situations such as this, where a person finds it necessary to build something that spawns an INSANE explosion. One where they have some large relay event, or an infinite looping projectile. That kind of thing. They know it's going to lag. They know it's going to make the server a laggy hell. But do they stop? Of course not. Instead, they take the kindness of notifying everyone that they're about to do it. AND THEN THEY DO IT. (Usually several times over, because "it was cool".)

I just don't understand this way of thinking. "I'm doing something insane, so everyone else needs to stop what they're doing and wait for them to be over. But it's okay, because I told them it would happen." Now of course, justice is usually served and they get banned from the server afterwards. (Probably to soon go off upset about their butthurtedness using "I told them" as an excuse to try and nullify that it was their own fault.)

/rant.

General Discussion / Re: Hotel Build (need help with)

« on: August 13, 2010, 05:50:35 PM »

...so you want someone else to be dedicated for you? -_-

In most cases, when you've lost all reasons to continue working on your hotel, you probably won't have it loaded anyways. So the other "more dedicated" person won't be able to work on it anyways.

I suppose it's just my own way of looking on things. But I'd rather have my build incomplete, than have it complete but only 60% decent.

This is just my opinion, but asking people for help building something is a bad idea. People with big egos will probably go on about how they're good builders, and know exactly what to do. I don't build well with other people because I'm the one with the big ego in that case. I always want to build what I think of, and get angry when they start doing something different.

First of all, how exactly do you "need help"? Is it really big, and you need someone to help build something repetitive, like large walls or something? Or do you not have any ideas, and want people to add their ideas to your build?

Either way, I just don't think you can trust someone to be able to help you. Too many chances that they'll get bored, or start trying to take over. I'd just build it on my own, if I were you.

I take a lot of time with writing down my reasons.
Explanations - Lego Rex was being irritating, and I didn't want to upset him by banning him myself. I basically had someone else do my dirty work.
Klick spammed the server.

I don't really even remember banning the other ones. But I didn't know I could view my banlist, thanks for the info.

She stated earlier that she wasn't, but what would be the problem?

It seems to me that a lot of people who think about "furcigarettes" immediately assume that person has a special interest for bestiality. Now that could always be true, but seeing as I don't think that would come up at all in these forums, I don't think it would be a problem at all.

I don't really understand the problem with furries in the first place, though. When I see them, they seem to me like they're all just people, but with a fur texture drawn onto their bodies and some animal like head. What's so different and horrible? ._.'
