You have a habit of following my posts and antagonizing me.
i love it when people are so self centred to think that i follow them around

you saying that is a real clear reflection of you lol.

So far in this thread, you've posted directly after me two times.

The first time in 2 minutes. And the second time in 4 minutes.

Congrats.

It has absolutely nothing to do with me being self centered.
It has to do with the blatant fact that you hate me for some stupid underlying reason.

Take this to drama you degenerate.

and are you taking into consideration all the posts i've made that aren't directed at you?

or are you going to keep going along with your confirmation bias to make yourself feel special lol

The reason why I made this thread is because I was studying the server list a couple weeks ago and noticed that people aren't making unique servers too often.
One of the server's I was watching was Tezuni's Prison Escape.

His server gets frequent traffic because it's the only good prison escape. (plus, prision escape is pretty unique for blockland)
He also works on it and updates it. It's a very solid experience. And I'll jump into the fun every one in awhile.

(The only thing I don't like about it is the way he goes about appointing his staff.)

Basically, the point is. There are ways to keep your server unique. And personal add-ons are a way to do it. Land of blocks, Boss battles, Tezuni's prison escape, etc.
If those modifications were open to the public, a lot of people would try hosting the same stuff. And split the player base.

I really want good personal add-ons to be released.

But at the same time, I know they're purpose is to make a server special and unique.

I'm pretty conflicted on this one.

i don't like personal add-ons because i don't like downloading specific things just for one server
same reason why i don't download server huds.


Guys
This (imo) appears to be the classic Communism vs Capitalism.
Think
If all addons are public, nobody owns private addons, aka property
If some addons are public and some private, then it's like some people own private property and servers compete for players with alot more edge, similar to how businesses  compete for customers.

this is one of those arguments that really conflicts a person

but to be fair, how would it be like if badspot's block party had custom add-ons that you wouldn't be able to use

also, i think someone (scirode or something?) released a practical COPY of Zapk's rising lava, and i don't remember seeing an ASS LOAD of rising lava's

I still think only the non-essential files should be released, like bricks, ~maybe~ weapons. Contradicting, since people have asked for some of my stuff and I didn't release it, mostly because people flip the forget out if anything is ~at all~ realistic. I mean, someone remade my mod and everybody loved him for it because it no longer "sounded like children screaming" just because I took some Black Ops death screams and made them highpitched.

Crispy and Taboo really don't understand how much work is put into these things.
haha what the hell
probably the only reason your add-ons take so long is because you spend forever agonizing over how bad the model is before just releasing it anyway

wait did someone override pandan's lock

that's fantastic

No. I unlocked it once Dicey went offline.
I won't tolerate drama in this thread.

And now i'm locking it because it's turning into "attack pandan"

Unlocked by popular demand.

Unlocked by popular demand.
Yay

Now I can watch more people humiliate Pandan.
