I own a hosting company and I really enjoy playing minecraft, so I thought I would take one of our servers and throw up a copy of the most recent server for free play. I'm really enjoying it, but its sort of lonely as I'm the only one on it. I read the forums anyways so I thought I would sign up here and ask if anybody is interested in playing on it?
About the Admin
I have a lot of experience with being a wizard in MUDs, and to me this is really the next step. I'm looking forward to the day that Notch open sources minecraft, since I read a while back had the intention of making it public domain once it was finished; I hope that has not changed. I'm a programmer by trade, and I own all the hardware that the server is run on.
General Theme of Server
No real theme yet I'm a big fan of just letting people come up with things and seeing how things work. I like the ancient style of roman building design, but I enjoy Victorian more. I'm always rebuilding things to be better, and the server should be about mutual respect among players. Server is best described as "mostly legit", since as the Admin I may need to create things or do things not considered "legit" to protect the player base or the world.
Uptime Of Server
The server is a dedicated system. Its up 24/7 behind a enterprise grade network, as long as Notch makes no game breaking updates or bugs (He has, he will, thats life and I work around it as best I can). The game world is saved every 30 minutes and the the saves are compressed and saved with a timestamps so I can go back in time and look at the world as I wish, or restore from any point in the servers existence.
Zones
I envision a common area for everybody, and then places for people to do their thing. I'm a fan of personal freedoms and want that to be something that the server also has, but I also understand that personal freedoms come with an obligation and duty to respect others. The server already has multiple cities, some still under construction.
Features
World is backed up in its entirety very often, automatically, through the use of crontab scripts and a custom wrapper. If the newest backup is older than 15 min, anybody who is on the ok list can kick off a full world backup.
hey0 is installed.
Magic Carpet is installed and available for VIP's and up.
the SaveReload plugin is installed and configured to save every half an hour.
Chest protection is installed. Use /chestprotect 2 to make all chest you create have only-you access.
Creepers are nerfed. No creepers, but other mobs exist.
Big Brother is installed and autolog is turned on. Griefers are found, banned, and their changes reverted with a simple command.
Rules
No stealing
No griefing
No spam
No whining
No hacking
No Non-Consensual PVP or PK.
No duping
Use a sign to show that a house is yours.
If its not your house, stay out of it unless you have permission from the owner.
Keep buildings reasonable
If you take down a tree, do not leave the branches hanging in the air like an idiot.
If you get a sapling, plant it somewhere useful or just fill in a space in the wood farm forest so others can get wood. (No pun intended.)
Don't build in the small but needed wood farm area. Buildings created in this area will be removed and the builders banned.
Respect common areas as you would a public park you cared about.
If you find a glitch, tell an admin but most importantly, log it here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Known ... yer_Issues
Buildings must have signs on or near them showing builder ownership. If a building does not have a sign, its considered "un-owned" and thus something others can destroy or loot blocks from for their own things. People abusing this rule to destroy others work - either by removing signs or other - will be treated as a grief-er and banned.
Griefer Policy
Griefers are banned and their IGN publicly named and shamed so that others searching for their IGN can see what they have done in the past and make the personal choice of letting that affect if they are allowed on new servers. No exceptions.
People caught griefing get their IP's sent to my hosts abuse department reported for abuse of electronic systems, aka "hacking". Yes, I know thats not the correct term, but it sounds good to the average non-technical cop/person and helps you get in trouble for attempting to **** me off so I really don't care. This may not matter if your in a country outside the US; but often a friendly email to the people you buy your internet access from will have your account warned or even shut down. I already have reports of fully taking one griefer in the UK offline using this method; I'm told his parents were very angry.
Server's ban lists are open for public inspection at any time. Anybody can get a copy, just ask. I do ask that you share yours when this request is made, however.
Server auto-logs all block creations, moves, and deletes using the Big Brother mod. If you do something stupid, I can stand within 10 blocks and tell it was you based on the logs and the //bbhere command.
Votes
1. I'm now testing this: The server is now sort of community run.
2. Anybody on the builder list or above gets a vote.
3. A person on the builder list or above can at any time put up a vote to request me to add, replace, or remove an admin/mod/vip/builder. The server is community run. This means if a large part of the population does not like a person (except for me as its my hardware ) they are free to attempt to vote them out of whatever position they are in. And if everybody likes that person, the person in question fits the criteria, and I'm ok with it, they are free to vote that person higher up the food chain.
3. The rules will be hammered out as we go along. I will edit them as I find out what works.
4. The votes are not all equal; people with more past history and activity on the server count more.
5. I'm free to ignore these rules at any time as I don't want them abused. That said, we should only be doing this once in a great moon.
Asking for mod is the fastest way to NOT get it, ever.
All VIP's outrank anybody not a mod or admin.
VIP's have the right to ban grievers. VIP's caught abusing this right are banned themselves.
You can not build unless you are added to the builders group.
How to Connect:
Server has a White-list as hey0 is winding down and I need to be sure bukkit works. To connect you must have bought the game and minecraft.net must be able to validate this through its API checks. The server is hosted on a dedicated server with lots of RAM (Gigs) and harddrive space (hundreds of gigs). Old backups are archived on another server. The world is saved every half an hour. TNT is disabled. Griefers are reported to my local law enforcement per the above.
IP is: 67.220.80.194
Whitelist is disabled. Free free to connect. To be granted builder status you need to apply, and put effort into it by connecting and letting us get to know you a bit.
To apply to be added to the builder list let us know the following:
In Game Name:
Are you a griefer?
What country/timezone are you in?
Why do you want to join this server out of all the ones available? (besides to play).
Do you play any other games? What are they?
Please reply to this thread to make suggestions or just show your interest.
Thanks!
Edit: Content of post updated so many times its not funny.
I have decided against a whitelist, because I just kicked off a server backup and I sort of what to see what will happen. Given that I own the server and the ips are are all logged, if something really bad happens I will just pass the IP off to my abuse department (since I own the hardware, company, etc.) and revert to the most recent good backup while they do the work of reporting the abuser to their ISP/law enforcement.etc. This way, I lose nothing and I don't have to worry about being annoyed even if things do go bad.
Joined for a while, seems cool with a couple of good builders, although I was forced to quit due to using a crummy computer. Will try again when I get back to my own computer.
Really? You banned me (TheSovietRussia) For accidentally picking up a DIRT BLOCK you dropped? I didn't steal anything and you banned me without letting me explain. I bet if you checked my inventory at the time you banned me you WIll that all i had on me was 6 logs, 9 dirt, and a sapling.
I would not recommend this server they banned me for no reason!

.. and a infinite bedrock cube. The fact that you just now admitted to owning an account that is not the same as the one you proclaim you own in your profile should tell everybody what they need to know. Maybe that was just your griefer account?
Don´t join!!
Stupid griefers destroyed everything!
I lost EVERYTHING!! even my house !!
lol, no griefers have done any damage to the server. In fact the issue you speak of was created by a error in the admin script I used to use for backups; it was not flushing blocks to the disk before the tarzip ran so I was only getting partly done backups.
The server was literally not even a day old when we found this out... and fixed the problem. So please, whine some more. If you like, I can even post all the chat logs of you whining about the prices for the shop so they can see that you spent most of your time complaining instead of building. Because that is mostly what you did, besides go afk and refuse to help in the community project we had created. :wink.gif:

Yeah we wondered why you left so soon after being so silent, the running bet was due to the timezone you didnt speak english, glad to know I won the bet

Hey fever, could you please remove the mobs?
They are still quite glitchy and the creepers are annoying as hell because they cant be killed (it blew up a hole in the road, sorry about that)
You don't die either, so I don't see the point in mobs.. for now
Hey Fever it's tactical_zombie here. I've been trying to get back into the server for the past hour and I keep getting
failed to connect to the server
Connection timed out: connect
Don't know why it's doing this, It was working fine just a little while ago.
I'll keep trying.
Also, some creepers damaged the road, a chunk of my house, and I believe a section of the ground near where the jail was. I'll tally up the damage when I get through
I agree that mobs are worthless, so as of right now so they are now disabled.
The server had some upgrades done to it on the software side so it was down for all of 15 min earlier today, as I added the custom !backup command to the server after we reached full user capacity of 50 people. Glad you guys love the server so much!
The makers of hey0 are f-ing retarded and didn't add a backup and snapshot system by default to the mod, and to make it worse, the hey0 mod seems to actively block attempts to create snapshots and saves of the world on the command line. so custom code by me was needed to solve this problem (Because I rock.)
Admins can backup whenever they like, but I felt it was important for the community to save the work they do so I spent some time adding a special command that would create a full world backup any time they wanted, as long as the most recent backup was older then 15 minutes. Backups created by users are also marked by the person who did them, so that we can better track long-term griefers and ignore the backups they create. In fact, anybody on my griefer list cant actual make backups, just to spare me some headache.
Fever you've got to do something about this rollback thing. This morning (about 17 hours before this post) I spent a whole 45 minutes making a platform in the sky and when I came back from school it just disappeared. -_____-
My coins too. Zombie gave me some lightstone to sell and it's gone now :sad.gif:
