So, for those of you in the Minecraft division that don't already know me, I'm your new DM (alongside Kart).
I'm pretty easygoing as a person, but I don't take explicitness the best, not to say you can't swear around me, just maybe keep the jew jokes hush hush when I'm around:happy: :)
 
I'm going to be working hard along with @Amymaniac and @Kart to try and fix the problems with the Minecraft server, feel free to message me on Xeno or Discord with any questions or concerns.
 
Love, everyone's favorite Jew Atamo

Yo ho ho, congrats on being promoted to Slave Staff Member!
 
As someone who's played countless... Hour.. on our MC server, I can't wait to see what you guys will have in store for the future.

nether when

Take what I say with a grain of salt, since I only rejoined TF2 in early- to mid-December and my recent experience with Vaporeon is limited. However, from past experience with Vaporeon as a mod and an admin, I have to agree with Vector's earlier response. Vaporeon certainly has been around for a long time, knows the rules, and puts a lot of time into playing on our servers. However, that experience or longevity does not directly correlate with maturity or good judgment. To my recollection, during his time as a staff member, Vaporeon was consistently adamant about enforcing the letter of the law. While moderators (and other staff members) have a responsibility to punish rulebreakers, that is not the end goal. The goal is to ensure that the other players' experience is not negatively impacted by some asshole who is seeking to cause trouble. To put it simply, moderators should conduct themselves as both law enforcement and community representatives. When one aspect is neglected, it impacts the decision-making capability of the staff member in question. Conversely, I recall some moderators who were too lenient in administering punishments -- neglecting the law enforcement aspect -- which resulted in favoritism and failure to recognize and stop obvious rulebreaking.
 
Also, a staff member needs to recognize that they are not above reproach. If they delivered a punishment that did not fit the violation, they need to recognize that and adjust the punishment accordingly. Staff should be accountable to the players they serve. If a player criticizes their behavior, that is not "staff disrespect" by default. (I make it a point not to use that term because it's usually an unfair characterization and just makes you look like an asshole.) With regard to his spray, I honestly don't think it is appropriate or befitting of a staff member. Irrespective of his sexual preferences, If we hold "regular" players accountable for fetish sprays and punish them accordingly, then we should hold staff members to the same standard. In my experience, Vaporeon was very defensive about his spray and his decisions as a staff member and often reacted to immediate criticism with swift punishment, which in turn resulted in some harsh criticisms of his general behavior (some of them unfair, but others certainly justified).
 
Bottom line, if you feel that Vaporeon's behavior has improved in the past year and that the above points are now inapplicable, I have no problem giving him a +1. Until then, it's a -1 from me.

No one wins in this thread. sigh

guess you guys can have the pride for raiding our useless base (y) good job : )
Money isn't really worth shit in factions.
Still don't know why you took this to the forums. Maybe it is because you enjoy trying to start shit with others? You have really gotten us good, friend!

Dude xD we've been mega trolled lol. Hold onto the hope you've done anything but waste time blowing up a goblin shithole lmao.
 
Don't worry it's true, you got me good, goblin hovel was my lovechild and without it or my house I'll never survive the mormon attacks : (

We won

T h a t ' s W h a t Y o u T h i n k

I mean noone carries 6 sets of diamond armor on them, they keep it in a chest. also if u didnt care you wouldn't be responding still XD

the only lesson learned here is don’t declare war on everyone

I took pleasure in watching your base get destroyed.

I think the fact that the armor was in a chest and not being used gives you a hint that we don't care that much about it

KuntyKweens or Kokiri aren't destroyed at all lol
Kokiri has all of their shit in a vault really far down and Kunty already moved everything into a different base
America is still the worst one!

Zehahhahahahahhaha!
 
With DumbTree destroyed, and KuntyCrackheads destroyed, America is now the dominant power on the server!
And there are going to be some changes...
 
Item #1) Every faction must pay a daily 10 diamond tribute to America every 24 hours.
Item #2) Anyone on the server will be required to /tpa to us whenever we request it to do slave labor or 'pleasure' us in some other manner.
Item #3) We demand to be handed over all TnT, redstone, and other materials used for raiding immediately.
Item #4) Anyone who tries to avoid these demands will be destroyed mercilessly
Item #5) If all these demands are met and continue to be met, you will be allowed to build your faction peacefully and we will not raid you so long as you remain loyal allies of America.
 
Manifest Destiny! FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA!!! :sneaky: >:)

:rolleyes:

KUNTY KWEENS has taught me never to build something aesthetically in a factions server :(
 
RIP Deku Tree, I will never forget you

Oh hey they packed up part of the old mine with TNT, I kind of want to go back and see how much they wasted on that hole.
Was it just the one area, or did you take the time to explore every branch and systematically pack it full of explosives?

I guess you wont miss the armor we got then. XD.
: PJSalt :

Jokes on you we packed up quite some time ago. And this is honestly funny, sad and depressing, the fact that you're actually made a thread about this. Getting mad in Minecraft fucking hell lmao.

You might be wondering what this thread is about...

Oh you know ;)
 

 
nsfw WARNING!!!

 
 

+1 in short I fucked up
 
EDIT: really I made a mistake!! I should've let the server be tested by the staff more, not just for like 2 days. It should've been postponed for another week, it would've been worth it.

Yeah me Minecrack and Rabid have already mentionned that offline raiding should be allowed, once Rhodo gives the powers to Atamoose + Kart, things should be getting fixed :)
 
+1

In fairness to vaporeon, i will give my experience when he was staff member. My experience with him as staff members was largly negative, there were times where i felt i was getting wrongfully targeted by vaporeon by the smallest shit that ranged from just cussing to throwing bantz toward my friends, even after i explained to him a number of times that they were my buddies and for some reason would always try to push me by doing silly shit like taunting after kills and other little things to get under my skin. Also, every damn time someone would talk about his vore sprays in disgust he would get incredibly defensive and usually cause some silly shit. Now is it entirely his fault? No. Some comments were really mean and vaporeon didn't deserve them. However, these people would be muted for causing a ruckus (i believe i was muted myself at one point and i had to talk to a higher up, however feel free to exclude this because i can't remember completely, i believe it was scootaloo who had to get involved). Some were deserved, some weren't but it begs the question if you have a controversial spray that you know will disgust people, perhaps you should change it? Because at that point in my honest opinion it feels like your baiting and just asking for shit to start. You can have a vore fetish and by all means, have fun getting off to that shit but in this environment where you are in control of people and wish for them to keep in an orderly fashion, it would be wise to just change it something else like a vaporeon skin. because it gets to the point where people are just gonna throw shit at you or just get very uncomfortable with it. I mean, his last mod tenure ended with him getting incredibly frustrated and stepping down after he kept trying to say his spray was a "political statement" or some silly shit like that. I feel it's very valid for people to bring up his vore sprays as an issue of concern, but meme responses are retarded and add nothing. I won't vouch because i don't think it's fair for me to +1 or -1 because i haven't seen him play recently (nor have i been on the servers) so i cannot comment if he actually has matured. Good luck vaporeon with your application. If you have improved on your attitude and take my advice to heart then i don't see how you can't be mod. Hopefully shit goes better this time if you are willing to put in the effort to compromise with people who have issues with your spray and or attitude.

+1
Welcome back, you rancorous reptilian.

Two minor changes to take note of
 
Due to the previous issues that have occurred and strong disagreement in when bans should and should not be disregarded, an actual "decay" is going to be implemented for server bans.
Any bans that occurred one year prior should be considered out dated and not effective on the length of new bans issued to players (Unless the ban itself was of a greater length of time).
This also doesn't change that staff should highly consider the reasons for previous bans and not base current action off just a time frame.
 
Another small change is for the wording of the rule on custom images. This is to make part of it less vague and more clear where the line is held.

Sprays, avatars and items that are able to be customized cannot contain the following: explicit nudity/genitalia, racism, hate symbols, gore, derogatory content and images of sexualized minors (this includes drawn images).

So hopefully these serve to make things more defined both for staff members as well as new comers.
