  1. One could say asking minecraft specific questions, not server specific questions, in game instead of simply googling it can be seen as a shitty form of socializing. Nobody had to answer him, Amy's job is to administrate the server not teach people how to play minecraft.

     

    Regardless, this situation could have been handled better by Amy. Those comments from a DL were unnecessary. It doesn't help the fact you guys were scrutinizing her for no reason.


  2. making an entire thread about someones differing opinion on a ban protest. Aw hell yea

     

    There's a difference between a different opinion and a baseless claim that insults people he doesn't know.


  3. The issues Duckii had a few years ago were definitely things typical attention seeking teenagers did. It's nothing unknown, a lot of teenagers do stupid things for attention. You already know your biggest issue and what you shouldn't do anymore. If you ever regress into old habits just take a moment to remember that casual gamers cannot and will not help you.

     

    I'll go ahead and +1 this ban protest. I just want to close with a reminder and a follow up on my previous statements that your previous actions can ultimately have repercussions on Silence as he is the Site administrator. Therefore, it is ultimately up to Silence whether or not you should be unbanned as he would burden the liability that can follow with you being in this community. It would be naive for him to unban you.


  4. But just shut it down? The Nuclear Dawn division isnt more alive than the minecraft one. Plus, I have seen small minecraft communities go on for years before finally shutting down. Right now we can't just have a quick fix, but we need a complete makeover. The Minecraft DLs needs to listen to community feedback and start being active.

    Like Aegean said (and I assumed earlier), the minecraft division is obviously not shutting down. I just think it would be a smart idea since it never goes anywhere, this has been the trend for a long time. You're insane if you think xG should continue to host empty minecraft servers. You're also nonsensical if you think xG should do another *complete makeover* for minecraft.

     

    While we're at it Nuclear dawn is a dead game, however, it is managed and paid for by Sticks.

     

    I agree that we shouldn't just go ahead and shut it down, but we need a way to populate the server much more than just one person at a time. Actually, our only really populated division is TF2. Nuclear Dawn, Gmod, CS:GO (not including events), and Minecraft are all pretty much borderline inactive.

     

    I already iterated over Nuclear Dawn in a post above, afaik Gmod is under the same boat and Sticks doesn't have time for it. I also think Nuclear Dawn should be shutdown as a few months ago Sticks made a post in a thread somewhere stating along the lines of under 1000 players launching the game daily (literally a dead game). Gmod/CS:GO has seen a lot more success in previous revisions than minecraft. CS:GO also has very active events (which minecraft doesn't even have). I think CS:GO/Gmod can do well with a revamp, minecraft just isn't practical for obvious reasons.


  5. I mean minecraft servers need a lot of money/advertisements backing it to be successful if you want population. Minigames is the trend as well. And if you want to make any money you spend back you need to break the minecraft EULA then proceed to evade their blacklist once you are caught.

     

    Not to mention if you want your server to be scalable for big populations you will 100% need an experienced Java developer that knows how spigot and profiling the JVM works, which is not possible through the NFO game panel we have had access to. Although this is not an issue we have right now because we have zero population any form of traffic to the server and you will 100% have these issues.

     

    The point I am trying to make is successful minecraft servers cost money. Currently, almost all successful minecraft servers do what they do for profit (and by successful, I mean servers that consistently have population, even if it is a small amount of players). It's definitely time to move on from minecraft and shut down the division. They haven't seen anything outside of short success for several revisions of the division. This post will probably be disregarded but it's the truth, I keep saying it and it always happens. The minecraft division will keep dying.

  6. Just hypothetical, what would you guys want on a sweater / shirt from xG?

     

    A unique design, the xG logo, memes, what are people comfortable with buying, and how much would they be willing to spend?

  7. Well, it depends on what you want to do. Being bilingual can certainly raise the chances of an employer hiring you, some jobs specifically look for people that are bilingual. Choosing what language you want to learn is really up to you though. Spanish is pretty standard and quite useful in the states depending on your job/location.

     

    The more you know the more you're worth.


  8. After analyzing your the content of your essay I will have to ask you to rewrite it.

     

    Through the entirety of your essay, you spoke in 1st person. That shows you are a weak writer in a metaphorical and literal sense. Your review means nothing if you do not write it as if it is the word of god. Essentially, it is not a review, this paper is just "Oh I think this is gud." Not to mention this is suppose to be a review, it was more so a summary and not a review. Put some effort into your work.
