True enough, but I want to create something unique.
cool deal.

I would gladly help. I am mostly a builder, but still a mid coder. I have history of making deathruns, arenas, and lobbies.

Okay! Maybe you could email me and tell me about a few of the builds you've created?

On a more practical note, what are you actually doing to contribute to the project?
You outright stated that you can't build or code well, so it's pretty ambiguous what your contribution is actually going to be.

I do design work. I will attempt to study up on programming as well as help building. I sell myself a bit short on building. Ie: I can do simple builds

I feel like its more of a group project than an individual project which is what i feel like sean is getting at. Plus, she doesn't have to build or code much, she can help organize and manage the project as a group of us work on it.

Also, im volunteering to help :D  :cookie:

I'm trying to be somewhat nice and reserved here, as OP is clearly young.
But OP sounds like an "idea guy" the one who has all the ideas but no way to realize them on his own.
So he takes ambiguous roles like "leader", "manager" or "organizer" which basically means his job is taking the lions share of the credit for something he did not create.
I've spent a decent bit of time on game and software development boards (gamedev.net was a great example until they redid their forums) and people like this are an unfortunate problem, as they clog up help wanted topics with projects that almost never come to fruition.
It's sad but when it comes right down to it no one wants your ideas.

On a more specifically relevant note, there already is a Blockland Tower and I hate to self-promote so blatantly but it really is just what OP posted with some of the more immature points stricken out. And it's having been worked on for a few months to the point where it's almost completely realized and playable. So it seems silly that anyone that could be working on the currently viable and functioning server have their labor diverted to something like this when it may never even be finished.

(also, why do you refer to him as "she", his profile says he's male and "sean" isn't even a female name lol)

Woah man, first of all, being a manager is a big role that should be respected. You have to organize when everyone should meet, schedule meetings, assign roles, plan out the project, and also make sure you respect what the people are doing and how to do it. Not only that, he has even offered to help out with the coding and the building. Manager is not some petty job which gets all of the credit like what you think (or atleast that's what you come off as to me) Plus, he will give credit to us too and I can promise you that. Stop attacking him for having an idea similar to yours.

Second of all, there ARE people who want his ideas. There have been people volunteering in the comments even though it has just recently been posted. We understand you may be frustrated because this idea is so far a spin off of yours, and I can understand that, but look at it from a different view. Your game mod that you have taken so much time and effort to put into has inspired others. Sean is also one of the others who have been inspired by your game mod. He said he will make changes to the mod so that it is not like yours, and everyone needs somewhere to start.

I'm sorry if this idea does not please you, but we are going to go through it even without your permission. It will not be your game mod, this is just a place to start from, to start innovating and creating something with inspiration, which is your game mod. If you want credit too since this is our starting place, we shall gladly include you in the credits as the person who has inspired us, and we do not mean to attack you in any way. But, even though we want to avoid conflict, we do not tolerate the fact that you are trying to take us down by saying "no one cares" and trying to push people away with the comments you are making

(also, why do you refer to him as "she", his profile says he's male and "sean" isn't even a female name lol)

Meh, people make mistakes lol. I'm not a good judge of gender as you can tell

Just saying DrenDran, but if you look at my profile for my gender, you can look at it for my age as well. I'm 17. In my opinion, that shouldn't strike people as "clearly young" as you previously stated. In fact, a majority of Blocklanders are in the 13-15 age range. Let me also add that your server isn't entirely original either. Finally, I do realize that the title of "designer" does not mean "idea guy". Apologies if my knowledge of the subject hasn't shown itself to you. I am not stating that I am smarter than you, just saying that you may want to not always assume that everyone on the forums has no knowledge of game development.

Admin applications are now being accepted! :) Hope to see people applying.


IGN (In-game name): 14941
     •Prior instances where you have been admin:
     •Age (This is not optional. I apologize, but age does matter for this server.):
     •Answer the following question. A fellow Blocklander is arguing with another about kill-stealing. How do you stop the argument from continuing while being polite?: Ask for evidence, if no; shut up. (Then I'll secretly go search for evidence myself)
     •Answer the following question. A Blocklander is spamming. What do you do to get him/her to stop?: Stop. Hammer-time. (hammer all his bricks.) Clear his bricks, tell him to stop.

     •Do you know any other languages (fluently)?: I know OP.
     •Skype and/or Steam: Jakobblockhead (You already know my skype)
     •Why do you want to be admin?: Because I see potential in this server and I always wanted to create one like it. Plus I can help build it.
     •Finally, to make sure you have read thoroughly, what is the goal of this server?: (copy+paste op here) Socializing server??

See all the apps rolling, and the fun is going to begin.



•IGN (In-game name): Visolator (BL_ID 20490) <- Might want to include their blockland ID

•Prior instances where you have been admin: Mine, Prince Jay's servers, Agent Blue's servers, Wrapperup's servers, a few freebuilds that I no longer remember because of how long ago it was

•Answer the following question. A fellow Blocklander is arguing with another about kill-stealing. How do you stop the argument from continuing while being polite?
If it continues, they both get muted as a warning, if it continues, it will be a ban.

•Answer the following question. A Blocklander is spamming. What do you do to get him/her to stop?:
It depends what and how much they are spamming, if it is a little, I suppose a mute, otherwise, a long mute. If they do it again with the same thing then they get banned for a small amount of time, unless they did something else that ruined other people's fun.

•Skype and/or Steam: Both are Visolator

•Why do you want to be admin?: Of course I want to create a valid expression to all the players. I would help stop unreasoning arguments with enough warnings to stop. I will make sure they learn their mistake by joining the server with stupidity. I am one of those restricted admins, always getting onto their back until I have enough information of the issue.

•Finally, to make sure you have read thoroughly, what is the goal of this server?
Basically you want players to be in a hotel with their own room with stuffs, pretty much a socializing server.

I do know a lot of Torque, as you have seen some of my add-ons in the "Add-Ons" section.

True, let me add that. :)
