  2. Minecraft Server Rules

    in Minecraft

    Posted

    Today we had an issue with user harassment. When another user asks you to leave their territory, and to stop bothering them, it is mandatory that you do so - you must respect their wishes.

    If you believe they have done this in error, or if someone is harassing you, you may send me a PM and I will deal with it.

    There was also an issue where a user refused to acknowledge wrongdoing. I am a big advocate of restorative justice, but when I tell you that you've fucked up, the correct response is to say "okay" and learn about how to avoid similar situations in the future.

    Regarding TNT- assuming it's not used in a way that mutilates the landscape (blast mining underground, away from the surface, or as a way to clear large amounts of stone, later cleaned up with a pick) is it within the rules to use? I only ask because I know of some servers that auto-ban on placing tnt and don't want to run into that kind of problem

    TNT is unable to damage landscape, only players. If you want to put some traps in your house, go for it. :)

    Description

    The Summa Crossroads Minecraft server is built on a very simple but very effective core idea - that awesome gameplay should be the focus of development and maintenance. In pursuit of that, over the last 3 years I've gone through multiple maps, updates, and plugin sets, always trying to find that delicate balance of fun, challenge, and drive. We've come a long way from a simple hMod setup to a fully featured Bukkit suite including plugins tailored to our requests by authors who share our passion and ideals. This server has been a lot of things for a lot of people, but it's always been a good time.

    Today we feature a vast 16,000 by 16,000 map sprawling from edge to edge with beautiful custom biomes, hand-painted and lovingly crafted to bring the sense of adventure and vast scale that you may recall from your first days of Minecraft. Some residents have built towns and gathered the resources to construct their own waypoints that you can unlock the ability to fast-travel to by venturing there yourself. Much of the landscape is yet unexplored, and each week new adventures are introduced. Many players have developed towns together, and there are 6 player-built towns that already built and activated their waypoints!

    For those who enjoy a good challenge, the overworld is bustling with deep caves and the monsters that come out at night will be no allies. PvP Arenas let you challenge your friends and humiliate your foes - paying you out for putting up a good fight. The Underdome lets you demonstrate your gladiatorial might against wave after wave of things that go bump in the night, with spoils to those who entertain. Vast parkour challenges, one of which has only been completed by one player in the history of the server, will spare you no mercy. Unrelenting instanced temples will push you to your limits, giving you fame and fortune if you show the world that you are a true hero. Accumulate enough might and you can unlock ancient secrets, letting you use magic spells to control the world around you.

    We think it's important to foster a strong community, and our player ranks are thus primarily tied to forum posts. The numbers may seem a bit high at first to those who have not had previous experience with forums, but when you jump in and get involved you will be surprised at how quickly it starts to add up. It's not just the ranks, either - you get gold for posting on the forums that can be used for forum-related activities and items, or transferred to the server at a 1:1 ratio. With your gold you can open a shop that lets you buy items from and sell to other players at prices of your choosing, or find many other ways to spend it.

    Many players have commented that Minecraft sometimes feels as though it lacks purpose. We are actively developing a central quest line in addition to many side quests and activities to keep you busy, entertained, and enthralled. If you have a knack for bringing stories to life and realizing grand schemes, we may be interested in your input! Scattered around various areas of the server are also a host of NPCs that do anything from help you train your skills to guarding temples and sending you on journeys.

    Often times it's the little things that make the biggest difference, and we have a plethora of precisely tuned pieces that keep the cogs turning. Little tweaks to the basics of Minecraft and bigger underlying systems designed to reward you for playing the game your way. We want players to have fun and enjoy themselves in a world that feels ready for conquest and adventure.

    At the end of a long day, though, there's definitely a need to have some fun. Whether you put down bets on grass growing or sheep sumo, enjoy a raunchy night out at the strip club, or knock 'em dead at the Eagle Eye shooting range, you can settle down after a hard day's work and share some stories over a pint of Mudder's Milk with your pals - or make some new ones! Just don't have too much or you might have trouble making it home.

    It is worth noting that we are, by and large, a mature server. This doesn't mean that we include 7 dirty words in every sentence, but it does mean that we tend not to restrain ourselves and generally expect users to have a bit of intuition regarding basic elements such as getting food, making shelter, surviving on your own, etc. We are a survival server, after all - the fun is in surviving!

    Server Hardware

    The server is on a box in Miami, Florida with a 24 * 2.30GHz E5-26xx CPU, 32GB RAM, a 100GB SSD, on FreeBSD. We generally have a maximum of 100 slots.

    Plugins

    In the interest of maintaining "the fourth wall" and reducing risk of exploits, we don't release a full list of plugins. There are over 50 currently active with a few on the sidelines, many of which were developed at our request to provide an awesome gameplay experience that gives you a wealth of options but keeps things challenging. In lieu of plugins, please see the "features" section.

    Owner/Admins

    The server is owned, administrated, and maintained by Wahrheit as it has been since 2010. Additional administrators include Xarin23, Cossack14, Uniballerkid and Hidendra.

  7. Minecraft Server Rules

    in Minecraft

    Posted

    This thread will contain official server rules. We will operate on a "case law" standing, where exceptions or additions may be made on a per-incident basis. Such case law will be documented here as best as possible. The word of Wahrheit is the final say and the right to judge as is necessary, if need be in contradiction with existing standing for the good of the server, is reserved. I do pay the bills.

    • No griefing. This means destruction of other players' property, general harassment, harm, or other actions that cause grief - thus the term griefing.
    • No begging. You are not entitled to anything here - we are a survival server. Survive. You have more than sufficient resources available.
    • No whining. Repeating your requests does not legitimize them. Complaints will be seen as requests to visit space.
    • Be friendly. You are here with your fellow players - we will all have a much better time if, as a community, we can get along. This doesn't mean you have to like everyone, just be civil. It isn't that hard.
    • No hacking, malicious mods, exploitation, duping, or other unfairly advantageous manipulation of gameplay. Cheaters never prosper.
    • Harassment will not be tolerated. This pretty much goes hand in hand with "No Griefing", but it's re-iterated because cyber bullying is not a joke and we won't stand for it. If you kill someone, you've made your point. You don't need to abuse them.
    • Visual griefing (mutilating the landscape for transport or other purposes without cleaning up after yourself) is not allowed. Our world is beautiful and majestic. We worked very hard to make it so. Please respect that, and we will respect you.
    • No mob grinders or mob farms. The server will nerf them anyway, but don't build them. Monsters drop extra loot compared to vanilla because you're meant to go out and hunt them in the wild. So, you know, go do that.
      • Automated crop farms that utilize block update detection (e.g. observers) are permitted.
    • No advertising. For fuck's sake, if we wanted to go elsewhere we would.
    • Wahrheit's word is law.

    Case law will be documented below should it become necessary. Please only post in this thread if you have suggestions for additional rules or revisions to existing ones, or if you feel the need to appeal your circumstances. Should that ever be the point where you are at, remember that my time is valuable and if you're going to use it you had better not waste it if you want to be heard.
