Author Topic: Hello dear blockland community.  (Read 3382 times)

Hello there.
My name is John. I'm 15 years old and pretty new to blockland.
Because I'm new I wanted to ask if you could give me some help. Help like what to do and what not to do, who is popular and who I should "hate".

Personally: I'm a good to great builder using a lot of care into my build whit much details.
I also might post some pictures later if some wouldn't believe me.


John

Nice to see you're good with grammar and spelling then most new peeps we've had here

1. Welcome to Blockland
2. Who you hate and who you like should be up to you
3. Here's a list of what you shouldn't do

Do not spam the forums with useless stuff
Do not spam Blockland servers with tons of bricks that just make up a pile of nothingness
Do not spam the chat box in any server
Do not abuse the administrator powers when/if you are given admin/super admin in any server
Do not be rude, mean or stupid
If you make a decal or a face, do not post it until you are SURE that it's good
If you make a add-on, be sure to work out all the bugs

That's all i could think of for now, but that's basically it, also, don't forget to read the Forum Rules topic, it's pinned to the top of the General Discussion forum, the topic starter is Badspot

Enjoy your time in HellBlockland! :D

Well as far as posting on the forums goes just try to use basic grammar and punctuation, some people around here are crazy about that but as long as your post is readable you should be fine (you seem to have that down though).  I wouldn't say you should hate anyone right off you should form your own opinions about people first.  Don't just jump on the bandwagon like so many here and decide you hate someone just because that's the popular thing to do.

As far as in game just don't ask for admin or trust from people you don't know it's really irritating.  And when you're done building in a server make sure you clean up if you don't plan to come back.  The only other thing I can think of is not to talk to yourselves in the chat that's really annoying too.  Anyways welcome to the game hope you have fun :D

Here are a few threads you might want to read.
How to use macros
How to host an internet game
RTB is an amazing mod that has an IRC and features in game downloading and some advanced server options so you might want to check that out.

All I can say is hello after those other greetings, and as promised. . .



                                     Hello.

Hi, you should start out by knowing one thing

I am epic, hail me.  Welcome to Blockland :3
Here are some tips for forums

Don't post anything you make in decal section unless it is pretty good.
Same goes for add ons.   If you do those 2 things you will become a "Furdle"  which is someone who released everything they made even though it sucked. and such.  I personally had no problems with Furdle but his habits annoyed me.
Don't use emotes in ways like this:   That is win, here, have a cooke  :cookie: . or LOLZ HAR AM A  :cookie: HURAY AND GET IT BEFOR THE  :cookieMonster: MONSTAR GETS IT OR UL BE A  :panda: EATIN  :iceCream: PLEAYIN A  :nes:   That last one is probably one of the worst things on the forums you can possibly do.  People will just hate you.
And don't say "First post" if you post first in threads, times have changed and people don't like it anymore.

Ingame
Don't join a server and ask for admin or any special privileges unless you know the person really well.  (and even if you do know them, try not to ask unless it is necessary.)
Um... can't think of much more right now.

Don't be a poser, be who you are. The people you hate can be the people you're with most if you try to look like something you're not. Also, hi! :D

Well, I give you my Welcomes. I hope to see you frequently in-game.

Well howdy do there, mr. colorful greets you,

No one has said it yet so,

Greetings, and Welcome to Blockland... get out while you still can!
:P
jk...
Actually, no, I mean it, get out while you can. This game gets addicting and you end up not doing anything else besides playing this game.

It is true, but as long as you can control your blockland urges you should be ok, and one more thing, if you get banned for no reason what so ever on some servers (excluding me from this), those people just mainly ban for the hell of it, just don't go to there servers anymore, oh and nice to meet you.

Not every many people end there posts with there name, I respect that... Welcome to Blockland!
Actually most people here find it redundant and annoying.

It actually pisses me off.

Urges? This is a game, not puberty.
