spacebois	Date sent: 2018/12/27 00:15:07 Ok so im making this post to highlight some things that I think should be added or changed on the server before the end of 2019. I wont get into much detail on them though this is more like a quick overview. 1. new players spawn with the rule book and essential commands book (makes loki's book have actual use. And the other book will help players know and memorize the commands) 2. New players start with $100 in their balance (New players often dont have money and frequently ask for it and cannot compete with other shops without lowering the prices significantly) 3.Remove the architect rank (This is a survival server. Not a creative server) 4. Allow factions to merge (This would be good as if two players wanted to keep their claimed stuff without the necessity of unclaiming all their land they could easily merge 5. Add a spam filter (Adding a filter would help decrease the chance of a multitude of bots joining and spamming) 6. Add a word filter (Not really essential but it could stop messages containing the n word and such) 7. Increase vote token chances (vote tokens are too hard to get :sad: ) 8. Add a random tp command (allows players to easily get randomly teleported without having to go to spawn and step on the pressure plate) 9. Bring back the build team (I asked this in chat and Tye said yes) 10.fix /jump (its currently broken) 11. Add /down (we have /top why not /down?) 12.Add a commemorative rank (like in grove's suggestion we should have a rank for the even older players on the server)
Mr_Black_Is_Back	Date sent: 2018/12/27 00:20:13 It's pretty easy to get money from voting. Too many people bought arch, it's not gonna get removed that would just fuck them. Unless there's a plugin that does it, faction merging wont happen unless loki gets control of the plugins imo. Build team for what? lol Anything to do with plugins probably wont happen unless loki gets full control owo
ToppingRumble7	Date sent: 2018/12/27 00:24:16 Overall, it's some creative ideas. But I believe I speak for the majority of Architects when I said I'd have to object to #3. Most of us Architects have huge projects we're working on, and those projects could be stopped if we lost gmc.
spacebois	Date sent: 2018/12/27 00:35:18 I should elaborate more for number #3. For number 3, I meant that they should stop selling the architect rank and those who already bought it get to keep it
spacebois	Date sent: 2018/12/27 00:36:10 And for the build team I was contemplating on having it in but decided for it because like I said Tye said yes
Presinus	Date sent: 2018/12/27 05:15:18 1. Loki's rule book was written by a retard 2. So people with alts get extra cash? That could benefit "player count" (account count), but be unfair for players. 3. Maybe add a creative world so GMC wont interfere with GMS *but that would talk effort* 4. That requires effort. 5. Give the spam filter a generous limit. Spam filters tend to be annoying when too strict. 6. Okay that's just a recipe for turning webbcraft into socialjusticecraft. 7. That requires effort. 8. Easy fix. 9. Yes, please make spawn pretty and hire a team to fix up or tear down old builds. 10. Should have been fixed ages ago smh 11. Yeah I miss that command. For some reason webbcraft doesnt have it. 12. No, that name is long and spammy af. Come up with a shorter alternative.
Miss_Sassy34	Date sent: 2018/12/27 07:05:14 With suggestion 8.Add a random Tp Command I think there already is one /rtp although i think it takes you to set places in the wilderness. having a word filter would be good as people can get out of hand in chat when new players join and can affect how many new players the server gets daily. Also, faction merging would be good because then larger factions can have smaller provinces and are able to edit without un-claiming land. Also with the commemorative rank would it be like the Veteran and Member rank, if you played for a certain amount of years you get the rank?
spacebois	Date sent: 2018/12/27 16:17:03 @sassy if you haven’t seen groves post check it out as it pretty much says everything about it and probably the rank would be for players who have been here for 5 years?
spacebois	Date sent: 2018/12/27 16:18:18 I also like pres’s idea for the build team that would be nice.
CCShad Moderator	Date sent: 2018/12/27 16:59:23 New players should spawn with the rules 1)] An easy fix, we actually intended to do it at the start of the map but Luigi insisted that players start with no items at all for the start of the map. New players should start with £100 2) This is the opposite of what we need right now, at the moment a player can join the server, vote, and then buy enough diamonds for a FULL SET of diamond gear. All within 5 minutes of joining. The economy is it's own entirely different problem, but I believe Loki is going to be implementing some things to help get it back on track this upcoming year. Remove the architect rank 3) All creative items and aspects are separated from survival players, so it doesn't interfere with them at all. It's also the reason many fantastic builds on the server are possible, such as ToppingRumble's cities that he mentioned earlier in this thread, so I've gotta give this suggestion a solid -1 simply because there's no real need to do so. Add a command to merge factions 4) It's not as simple as it sounds to make that a command. There are lots of things that would need to be taken into account like who would become the leader of the new faction, which faction name would remain, how much power they would be given, I agree it would be a good thing to have if it's well designed but at the moment it's easier to just reclaim the land for the merging factions, usually takes less than 20 or so minutes, and faction merges are rather uncommon, we probably don't have more than 1 a month (At least not large scale merges). Add a spam & word filter 5 & 6) A spam filter could be good for the server, it would auto kick a player if they sent the same/similar message 5 times within 15 - 20 seconds. So +1 for that. I don't think we need a word filter plugin, as for the most part swearing is allowed on the server, just not excessively. Increase vote token chances 7) At the moment the chances of getting a vote token are 4.25% per vote, or 1 token every 5 days on average. I don't think it needs to be increased. If anything it should be designed so it isn't luck based, and you get one every time you vote X days in a row. However I prefer the current system, just because of the excitement of voting and seeing if you get one, and then feeling really satisfied if you really do get one, and there's no better feeling than getting multiple tokens in a single day! Add a random tp command 8) I like that idea, +1 Bring back the build team 9) The reason the build team failed 3 years ago was because of 2 reasons in particular: Luigi wasn't willing to give them creative mode, and because there were really only a few projects that needed to be done, and once they were finished there was nothing else to do. I'm gonna say this isn't necessary to bring back, purely because we don't NEED a build team. This is a survival server, what is there to be built other than a spawn every 4 - 6 months? Mini games would be one thing, but we already have players that individually create games, which really brings the whole survival feel together with nice handcrafted player original games. Fix /jump 10) We're working on it ;u; Add /descend 11) Our current version of essentials doesn't have /descend, so maybe it's time we update the plug- gets slapped across the face by Luigi Add a commemorative rank 12) In Groves suggestion his point was that former staff members should have their own rank/prefix, not another time on the server based rank. Both could work though, the only issue would be finding commands for the ranks, since they're already spread thin across the already existing ranks. A more ideal thing to do is to simply use prefixes for veterans, so it would go like this: [Member] = 1 year [Veteran] = 3 years [Veteran]+ = 4 years [Veteran]++ = 5+ years And maybe we could even bring back the [Member]+ rank and use it as a "2 years on the server" reward, just so that we don't skip over the 2 year mark. Alternatively we could accept fatman's "Elder rank" suggestion and do something like this: [Member] = 1 year [Member]+ = 2 years [Veteran] = 3 years [Veteran]+ = 4 years [Elder] = 5+ years

spacebois	Date sent: 2018/12/27 18:30:43 thanks for the input luigi
Shindori	Date sent: 2018/12/27 19:00:33 I was part of the build team 2 years ago. It was a nice idea but it just didnt work for this server. Both because luigi didn't give gmc for build team people who didn't donate and the team existed of a lot of people who didn't have donator at that time, and because there was no need for things to be built. It's a nice idea but I don't think this server needs one.
luigiofthebakery Moderator	Date sent: 2018/12/28 10:24:31 Actually the build team failed because players wanted the rank for the status that it offered instead of to build things for the server. Even those members of the build team that had creative mode didn't use it for anything meaningful. The statement that most build team members hadn't donated is incorrect because almost all of them had. The excuse that "there was no need for things to be built" isn't valid because despite there not being anything specific that needed building, they could have always built anything that could have been featured as a good build on the server like Armz's cathedral or Luigi's mansion. But they didn't.
Miss_Sassy34	Date sent: 2018/12/28 11:59:25 1 other thing i think would be good for not the server but for the forums. I think locking old ban appeals and mod applications would be uselful as it would stop the flood of old posts from months or even years back.
Grovemeister	Date sent: 2019/04/17 00:53:15 New players should spawn with the rules 1) This would kind of wreck the survival experience. New players should start with £100 2) Yeah, I don't know about that Remove the architect rank 3) People would be upset with this, every gmc item ever would need to be deleted and it would be a big hot mess Add a command to merge factions 4) I have suggested this before as /f annex and even thought out a way to make it work the common response was that we are playing Jenga with our plugins and if we put that block on top of the tower, it's going to knock the tower down Add a spam & word filter 5 & 6) I don't think this would be a bad idea but it's not a good idea either Increase vote token chances 7) Yeah, I just don't know if we should break the economy more, let me remind you, each is worth thousands Add a random tp command 8) I don't see this happening anytime soon. if it did, it would be broken. the random tp pressure plate at spawn takes you to a general area around a spot. teleporting using it several times you most likely appear at a familiar place within 10 tries Bring back the build team 9) we don't need another failure Fix /jump 10) it hasn't been done for the longest time, I wish it would be fixed, but it just stays ... broken Add /descend 11) i thought it existed but i'd think it's the same case as /f annex Add a commemorative rank 12) Yeah you missed the point. I meant for previous staff members to get recognition for what they did for our server. also @pres I said It could be shortened to whatever needed. for duration, I think it will be updated as more people ascend to veteran and above. shad had some good ideas on how it could be done
Aouldrain	Date sent: 2019/04/17 02:19:03 You're both wrong. The build team failed because i was immature and didnt know a thing about anything, plain and simple, i ran it into the ground before it even learned to crawl.
spacebois	Date sent: 2019/04/18 13:42:15 this post is irrelevant as none of these things will happen
chrom	Date sent: 2020/08/06 16:10:21 2020 update: none of these happened. Well maybe number 10 because of Vet+?
