So apparently, the map is reset from a week ago, when I built my stupid church that WIll required, not it is gone. Also, Pollack left AGAIN, probably thinking I quit the server. Apparently people are not allowed to have a life, or go to work, or get a college education. I can't pay the 2000 fee because Ihave neither 3 people or a religious building.
That Map was reset only two days back, and how are you "not allowed to have a life"? I dont really get what your so mad about, but if you dont like the server, feel free to leave.
Well that set me back $1k and about 8 stacks of wood. And a marketplace. And a church. And a wall. And a blacksmith ._.
This is why I hate greifers.
Sorry bout that tom :P, but the economy is being re-worked anyways so the money dosent matter, I can give you back your logs since we are giving back items lost in the roll back. Also tom when are you on? I dont ever see you on much

Ah sorry bout that, we fixed it up, we hope you get to play and have fun before your off to college again!
I've seen you accepting people... I've been playing since you Accepted... but no one has been in the game yet, and there's... virtually nothing on the server...
Really? I think you may have our old IP, the current IP is 66.85.135.226:25614 , and me and others have been on all night...
So you believe my personal definition of Power Gaming is incorrect? Well let's go through the definition of Power Gaming, from its true definition.
A user on a forum defined it as follows Power gaming (also munchkinism) is playing a game for the sole sake of increasing the power and influence of the character. This usually takes the form of increasing the character's combat abilities in any way possible. However, in some forms of games with much more rigid social mechanics, someone specializing in diplomacy skills might just as easily be a power gamer. http://forum.rpg.net...wer-gaming-quot
As far as I can see, it is saying that Power Gaming is ignoring a majority of methods of play for the sole purpose of being "better than you," with no care of other things, just wanting to be stronger.
Wikipedia states as follows.
Powergaming (or power gaming) is a style of interacting with games or game-like systems with the aim of maximising progress towards a specific goal, to the exclusion of other considerations such as (in video games, boardgames, and roleplaying games) storytelling, atmosphere and camaraderie. Due to its focus on the letter of the rules over the spirit of the rules, it is often seen as unsporting, un-fun, or unsociable. This behaviour is most often found in games with a wide range of game features, lengthy campaigns or prize tournaments such as role-playing, massively multiplayer or collectible games.
Wikipedia is actually saying what I stated from an opinion on a user of a forum. Which sounds like it is killing creativeness, or the point of the game...
Urban Dictionary states several definitions, but commonly with "nicknames," which one follows as...
To play a (usually online) computer game in the most exploitative and goal-maximising way possible, ignoring other motivations such as roleplaying, realism, sportsmanship and 'fun'. Also known as powergaming.
Roleplaying, realism, the point of sportsmanship and 'fun'
Just a question, how is my (As you requested, "in my own words") sounding so far, still off?
*Note: I do admit I may have, or did even sound, like a smartass. I was proving my point as to actually knowing Power Gaming, and defining it 'in my own words.'
Your definition in the first App was correct, another staff member did not like the way it was put, we are very sorry for any confusion, you are Accepted, We are once again sorry for the first deferred the staff member will be spoken to about deferring good apps in the future, welcome aboard and sorry once again
Just based on the applications alone I can tell you are just another minecraft server and attempt to rp once in a while. I can almost guarantee that the story lines here are not made within roleplay but just thought up prior and the essence of Real RP is missing entierly.
Please do us all a favor and remove RP tags, just call it an optionally "In character" server.
Thanks for your input, we hope you reconsider your thoughts about this server. Have a nice day

Vyktor, contsantly being bullied and having trouble while being teached from his mother, spent most of his time in the basement building and tinkering machines. While his family was at home, he would always be alone. Fascinated with machines, Vyktor became a great mechanist, and could build anything in his house, but he still has much to learn. Machines were Vyktors only friends while growing up, and he has learned to adapt himself to this sad truth.
Now that his parents have passed, and he has not spoken to his brother in years, Vyktor searches for acceptance. Since he spent most of his time alone building as a child, Vyktor is very comfortable with his wits. He is excellent at bow and arrows and adapting to his surroundings. He has learned from the his previous, broken experiments useful skills like camoflouge and fighting. Bow and arrow is his weapon of choice, and if necessary, brute force is his next best option.

Lore
Before there was none, then there was one. It created this universe, filled it with stars and moons and planets. On this world it created the air, the earth and everything between. But when it was ready to create new, thinking life it felt torn.
Eons flew by as it twisted and turned unable to decide which life form fitted best to live in its most beloved world, the battle inside its mind harsh and neverending. As time past the battle went on, its mind cracking at the seams of the two opposing ideas clashing. It could eventually no longer bare the thought of unending war and it gave a great sigh and split.
Rillifane and Moradin were born.
This is what we call the First Era.
No longer joined into one being Rillifane created the Elves and found them a city among the trees of Yuirwood, a safe haven in a world shared by Moradins people, the dwarves. Moradin saw the city of Yuirwood and then created a home for his dwarves, Belegost in the Blue Mountains. The two races lived besides each other for many years conflict brewing beneath the surface fueled by resentment and hate, encouraged by their creators.
That was so until the day of the Giorian battle where the elves lost their beloved Aiden Windspeaker, a leader amongst their people and the dwarves lost the children of the greatest smith to have ever lived. War was declared and many battles were fought. Everyone lost.
Centuries passed by when suddenly a Third piece of the one appeared. It named itself Gredrif and the ever lasting war halted. Rillifane and Moradin had not expected a third part, they had not foreseen his presence. The two gods ceased all battles, waiting for Gredrif to make his move. The Third Piece was happy with the stalemate his presence had caused and decided to simply wait.
And thus the third era began. The two races experienced a whirlwind of happiness, wealth and technological progress, their time no longer spend fighting each other. But the peace did not last after decades into the cease-fire a horrifying attack on the Dwarven outpost of Bellegain stopped all thoughts of peace. Soon an Elven settlement followed and back to a Dwarven town until the day the forest of Quanti'll burned down.
Rillifanes anger was a terrible thing to behold the sky above his home in Yuirwood blackened. Seething, white hot with anger the Elven god turned to the Dwarvens greatest mine and wished it gone, lava boiling up from the ground turning everything beneath the surface to ash. Great bolts of lightning tore down the Dwarven mountain until it had been completely leveled.
Moradin saw his people and their work die and decided to take advantage of Rillifane's absence. He turned to Yuirwood with the blackened sky. But before he could below the great words of destruction the Third piece interfered. Gredrif saved Yuirwood and told his two siblings of the existence of a Fourth piece. One none of them had seen before and the only one who could have been responsible for the attacks on the two races.
For neither Elf nor Dwarf had wanted the peace to end.
Gredrif decided he would investigate this Fourth piece. Knowing his absence would cause the Elves and Dwarves to start their war again he created a third race, the humans, to keep the peace. He encouraged them to build cities and villages. The centerpiece was the capital Gerdyn, where the High King ruled in his castle.
The Third organized a council consisting of an even number of Dwarves, Elves and Humans to negotiate any and all conflicts between the three races. The High King alone had the right to veto any decisions that might cause another war.
As the darkness of the Fourth approached and the once lovely world turned hostile and dangerous, creatures of the night crawling nearer to the civilized parts of the world Moradin no longer thought of the Blue Mountains as a safe haven for his Dwarves. So he moved his kin to the Sotmos Mountains, closer to Yuirwood and Gerdyn. The new Dwarven home was called Lanolim.
As centuries passed the world grew darker and the Fourths army marched closer until it all culminated to the turning point of the new Era. A great army marched on Gerdyn and took the castle, executing the High King on its front steps. They say that even now his skeleton lays at the front of his ruined keep, his spirit haunting the walls by night.
Rillifane and Moradin could stand it no longer and forged a temporary truce as they went looking for their sibling whom no one had heard from since he started his search. The first two pieces left their creations to their own devises and we now come to what they call the fourth era or the Godless Era.
