First of all, if I recall correctly, any fire started by lightning will almost instantly be put out by the rain.
Second of all, to avoid fire spread by indoor fire hazards, such as fireplaces, surround the fire source by non-flammable blocks. From a top view:
Do not put any flammable blocks where the creepers are. Fire can also spread one block down and (I think) four blocks up. So, you'll want to make this a column of non-flammable blocks. Hope this helped.
Perhaps with the hieroglyphics blocks, there will come a new mob more suited for deserts. Mummies, maybe? That would be neat. They could drop paper or something.
The big secret he alluded to in one of his tweets was actually that there is a very rare chance of the splash screen displaying the word "Minceraft". There is no undiscovered recipe. That was a clever idea, though.
I changed the poll. Also, I'm sorry if this has been done millions of times, I used the search function at the top ("high resolution texture packs look") and nothing of interest came up. Maybe we should invest in a better search bar.
I once made a trap that consisted of a chest in a cube-shaped room. Above the room was a controlled lava flow so that once they entered the room and triggered the flow, they could not escape because lava had surrounded them on all sides.
I honestly think Minecraft looks better without higher resolution texture packs. High-res stuff kind of goes against the whole blocky feel of the game to me, I guess.
Do
Post in the correct section, and if you mess up... please report it to be moved to the appropriate section.
Don't
Have multiple people say its in the wrong section, and then proceed to not report it.
Also, I can almost guarantee that this will not be stickied. Most of it is forums rules anyways, usually falling under
Do
Don't
Forgive me for my transgressions. I figured someone had already reported it. Yet again, I'm really sorry. Won't happen again.
I don't think this is really going to be stickied. It'd be nice for me, I guess, but it's not going to happen in all likelihood. And these wouldn't be made into "golden rules." The title of this is "How to Not Be Annoying on Forums to Bluebaron." So this isn't really something that tells users what they can and can't do, it's just a guide that will probably help you be a better poster overall.
I understand people want to use ellipses, but when there's like 10 or 20 periods, it's absurd. Just use three.
I don't see how your Witch King avatar is relevant at all. And I identify people by their usernames as well, but it's quicker when they have an avatar that's unique. I didn't say that you can't use creepers in your avatar, because that's a ludicrous imposition. I said that you should at least use a unique picture of a creeper.
And on the piracy issue, I didn't mean to come off like that. What I intended to say is that you shouldn't pirate it, come on the forums, and complain about a game you DIDN'T BUY and TELL everyone you DIDN'T buy it. It's like complaining that the soup doesn't taste good in a homeless shelter. Except more of a hotel than a homeless shelter because you're supposed to pay for it. Also, grammar nazis will be grammar nazis. It almost brings me physical pain to read so many misuses of those homophones. The Oatmeal does quite a good job of fixing it.
EDIT:
On the last line of your reply, I would like to note that it's under "Minecraft-Specific Things" and not forum etiquette.
I understand what you are trying to do. A few things need to be addressed here. Firstly, anything you think is based on your personal opinion, and not general forum etiquette, take out.
TO be honest, if I want to know someone, I know their handle, not their bloody avatar.
Some of the stuff here is quite helpful, but other things youve listed scream, personal preference and nothing ive ever seen being enforced on a forum.
What do you mean take out? Take out what? I'm sorry if I'm not grasping the "obvious" meaning of that sentence, but it's oddly worded. And I'm not sure if this goes with/contradicts what you're saying but I did say that this is mainly my opinion.
should be pinned in this section and beta survival
moving this to the correct section will keep the people who need to see it from seeing it
although those people usually pay no heed to the pinned threads either
Thanks, but I do feel sort of bad for posting this in the wrong section, and _illusionist is right, at least about the second thing he said. It's going against what I just stated.
DO - make useful threads
DON'T - try to control people's lives by making threads about how not to make threads when you cannot make a thread about how you should post a thread.
Are you confused now? :biggrin.gif:
Not quite confused, though that was a nice attempt at being confusing. Is there a certain part of this you object to, or do you just enjoy doing all the things I think people shouldn't do that I have posted?

Stop asking for reputation points.
That's an odd bug, but I think more is needed on the circumstances.
