General Discussion / Story of Kascas the Melon man
« on: April 15, 2016, 11:39:20 am »
Hey i thought id check back in after years, for fun :)
Just for a visit, will be gone again, before someone seen me XD
Riding my waterslide solo :) appearently its broken now as boats have new mechenics lol.

Thought it would be fun to share my story how i got the money, how i beat competition, howmuch or few i cheated, why in the end i was only playing on my alt etc.
The last question has an epic fail answer haha. Maybe there are not many of you left, but at least i can make a few people smile :p
Just for entertainment purposes for those who played with me :)

How i made my money:
Melons: 30%
Cheating: 10%
36 players farming money, just to spend it on /pay kascas 60% :)

=====Kascas the Noob=====
boring blablabla, classic mode, made mazes, got my own map, been a mod.

=======Kascas the SMPer=======
finally switched to smcp, i liked the money system, gave me a nice goal to work for.
i seen the fun markets of the kiddos, and i knew they could improve so much, so my goal would be to beat them :)
visited the global market and searched for the best way to gain money.
when i spotted the melon price i laughed hard, so overpowered, so i made my first imfamous melon farm :)
fully automatic afking myself to the top of the balance, not much competition at that time.

=====Kascas the richest man=====
When i was on or near the top, i revealed how i did it, and my afk farming was banned later due lagg issues, i needed to make it with a button.
Still rising in cash, i hired people to click the button for me, in return they get a good part of the melon gold.
Competition for employes rose, so i made a system of ranks, so they can pay for priority.
Knowing this makes me even more money then the farm itself, i expanded the rank system letting them unlock perks at certain donating tresholds.
You can visit /home kascas oldfarms for all the ranked players and differend perk rooms.

=====Competition=====
Then my first real competition came, some dude with to much money, wanted in on the action and threw real life money at opticraft to compete with me.
Ofcourse my melons were not able to keep up with this guy and his money, but what he didnt knew was that meanwhile melons were no longer my main income.
In the end i had 36 players, who bought into my farm, competing with each other donating me for their name on my wall.
So everytime he bought himself to the top to show off for his girlfriend, i motivated some farmers to donate me back to the top haha. This went on quite a while.
Some might hate the business man, but hey, i gave 36 players a fun thing to do, to make a name for themselfs and made opti rich with money donations from competitors. Id say that was quite a good boost for the server.......and ofcourse for me :)

=====Nerfs=====
Not knowing what to do with all the money, i made a few of my old fun interactive maze thingies, a skydive etc.
Trying to let people enjoy my builds, by playing in it, rather then building something they look at and pass by.
When they finally realised melons are way to op, they cutted the prices in half, i complained ofcourse, but even half the money is still a ton.

=====Real Competition=====
Finally another mastermind joined the server with the same goal as mine, he made a farm that was smaller then mine.
But somehow the magician gained faster then me. even with the help of my 36 man farm team he still outrunned me.
Ofcourse im not gonna let that happen, so i build a 2nd farm, bigger then he could ever build. Cause i had to much time to blow :)
The result was a farm using boats that was bigger and more efficient then anything can compete with.
Yet it produced so much lagg, the output was actualy less then my first farm -.- so it made no sence, so i called an admin to destroy it.
Those who seen the destruction that didnt remove the boats itself, have had a great show, looking at boat armagadon :)
Admins went to discuss about the farms, as more people went to build their own farms, causing lagg issues.
Just a couple days before his small efficient farm would beat me, the melons were removed from the market. game over i win hahahahahahahahahahaa rekt.
obviously he ragequited as his whole server career was just banned. I also complained, but in the end i realised this means no one can beat me now :)

=====Melonless world=====
What to do with all the money in the world? Build ofcourse, so i figured, people were tired of my name up on the list.
I put all my money in expensive stuf, to build a new lobby home near my slide and skydive. with signs of links to my projects.
And expanded the fun with a parcour a maze etc. check /home kascas.

=====Cheating mode activated=====
Been a moderator for a while, but only in the end of my last mod period i discovered what other mods before me discovered aswell :)
Hello duping infinite money power o.O
Well i wasnt going to be as stupid as the other banned mods, and i didnt need money anyway, so i just duped a bit for fun and to finish up my last project.
about 10% of my total cash i think.

=====The last days=====
No more competition to beat, most fun projects done, i lost my motivation and left for a while.
When i returned i lost my mod rights ofcourse, but somehow retained godmode power??? didnt want to tell it, as then they would think im cheating somehow.
So i hiden it, which was surprisingly easy while their are so many ways of taking damage. Mods even seen me take no damage a few times, but no one noticed.
Started some new projects, but ran out of money, so i tryed getting mod again for duping some more, but they kept rejecting, like why??? im a great mod.....
besides the cheating at the end :) but i was the richest already anyway, just did it to make new fun projects for the other players to enjoy.
So without duping i needed a new way for money. Was working on my newest project, a 5x spider farm, to build some op dia sets with epic names,
They sold to rich people for great prices, enough for me to finish my empire of public farms and adventure.
When i was about finished with yet another project, i was a bit tired, and the community went a bit down. So i had few motivation but kept playing.

=====The Dead of Kascas=====
Did i die? No ofcourse not, cause im still in godmode :)
But do you remember this cool place, where you cant tp out of? And do you remember this terrifying cliff with lava down below?
Well....im a god, im not afraid, so yolo i jumped in.........................................................baaaaaaaaaaad idea.
I might be a god, but i cant fly, nor can i die, nor teleport due the area restriction.......i tried a few things, like dropping eyes of ender down with my alt, but no succes.
I coudnt call a mod to help me, cause they would punish me for having godmode eventho i wasnt abusing it, while i coudnt find a way to turn it off.
So i figured i made another mod application so i could fly out :) again declined -.- fml

I will now spend the rest of my optilife, burning in a lava prison.
RIP Kascas
the end :)

Helpful articles / Hackers and other Cheaters
« on: June 29, 2013, 05:12:33 pm »
Hackers and other cheaters

I felt i needed to point some things out to the general public
about the definitions of the words "hackers etc" , since alot mess them up
feel free to correct me if im not right at some point

first of all you have the glitchers and bug abusers, and no there not the same
glitches are program errors i.e. going throught walls, graphics not loading etc
bugs are ingame fault, i.e. getting 10 diamonds when mining just 1
they are exploiting game bugs, and have absolutely nothing to do with hacking

then you have the cheaters that install mods
i.e. the xray cheaters you often see getting banned
these mods are not made by them nor do they know anything about how they function
for that reason they cant be called hackers, these guys are called script kiddies

and then you have the actual hackers that have the knowledge of breaking security measures
these are the actual bad guys, that everyone fears of
but the point is, these guys have no interest in hacking a stupid pixel game to troll around

the only hackers that would throw a shot at mc, are the newbies hackers without alot of knowledge
yet to break a servers security measures, you need to be very good at it, and by the time you get there
yet again why hack a pixel game, just aint going to happen

last of all, "hacking accounts", these words are used way to often
yet AGAIN the actual hackers with enough knowledge to break into your personal pc have absolutely no interest in mc nor there players
for that reason alone, im pretty sure that basicly everyone that said "my account got hacked" is lieing
possible reasons for account loss, are script kiddies that use tools to scan for your passwords
yet script kiddies cannot acces your pc, and can only do this, if you download there tools, the same way you download a virus
or they could make a fake site, and ask you to put your info there
the second possible reason is an irl person, that got your password and decided to troll you
and ofcourse you have the people that randomly guess passwords, but as long yours is not 12345 you have nothing to fear

so now you know,
if anyone reffers to it as hackers, or if anyone claims he is one, there lieing or just not understanding it

Were you recommended by anyone?:
i believe the admins are familiar with my current standing with the staff
i dont see an added value in showing off howmuch friends i can gather

Why you should become a moderator:

1 Activity
Lets start here, the weakest link in my "mod skills"
The reason, why i got demoted aswell as rejected
My activity can be described as no life day in day out no limits
you can confirm that in the many projects i've made
there huge and i dont care how long it takes or how boring the building is
brag brag brag...anyway
i basicly no life for a long period of time, and this alone was a good reason to make me mod the first time
the daily hours covered a large part of the day, theres no single day i skip or a day with less then 1 hour play
but in the end i let everyone down, by leaving for a long while for the loss of motivation
i returned with a new goal for mc, and its far by complete, and for this reason alone
i can guarentee for 100% that there will not be another break for atleast months
im building a themepark for everyone to visit, fun and free and it will take ages
i also like hosting events, to get the community together
for example http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,17424.0.html
conclusion your stuck with me, whether you like it or not  :D

2 Attitude
Friends would discribe me as friendly and mature
I like to solve things with a small sence of humor to ease the pressure
I like autority, and i might be a bit harsh for those that offend the staff
Mods imo should not accept, disrespect towards the staff in any way
Also i am against excessive swearing, i often see other mods just ignoring excessive language
Last i like to warn alot, even for minor things, i like to see players getting kicked for minor offences
This imo prevents tons of unnecesary bans. how many times have they appealed whit "i didnt know".
I see alot mods, completely ignoring minor offences, and later they punish hard for an major offence...unnecesary.
And how bad of a punishment is a kick anyway? id like to warn players before they get themselfs banned.
So long story short, friendly yet strict

3 Experience
I've had plenty experience on other games/servers modding
I've been blue ranked on opticraft alot aswell
Been Classic operator and SMP moderator
I know all the cmds, have a fair judgement on abusive players
Im also very involved with the community, i often greed random members to get known into the lower ranks aswell
Im certain 100% of the staff knows my name, at least 90% of the trusteds...theres most likely 1 i miss XD
Not to mention the many lower ranks i talk to, which should be the most important group to know
And last but most important, i know exactly what will be espected of me, my duties and what effort that takes

I been here before
I done this before
Let me help opti's great community again, and all your problems are history  ;)

Rejected / Kascas city application
« on: April 25, 2013, 11:29:00 am »
Im building and built alot of projects near each other
some are oversized and very nice, some are crappy and small
i would like to ask what the possibilitys are for my area
could certain projects alone like my huge maze/slide be cp'ed
or the whole area perhaps including all small projects aswell
or nothing at all wich comes close for cp?

City name:
Themepark Kascas? il make up a proper name after i know the possibilitys :)

City location (Live map link, coordinates, not biome, include world name):
member world X 3000 Z -2530 till X 3300 z -1800
http://smp.opticraft.net/map/#/3268/64/-2304/-4/2/0
not much to see realy, you need to get inside to actualy know whats going on

Contributors:
to much to name, lots of people volunteer to help me, and i give lots of payed jobs away

Mayor (Only one - this is the zone owner):
myself ofc

Approximate dimensions:
whole area 730x300
maze         154x154
slide        ~100x300

Number of active residents:
1 + all the visitors :)

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings:
/home kascas               (diamond lobby with all /sethomes)
/home kascas sugarfarm (public sugarfarm)
/home kascas cocofarm  (public cocofarm)
/home kascas sky          (skydive little crappy design but large, abandoned coaster)
/home kascas slide         (epic well detailed waterslide)
/home kascas maze        (huge 3d maze)

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any:
lobby and farms finished
skydive/coaster finished but il like to extend/redesign it later
slide unfinished, but lots of progress(huge downfall into the ocean floor, then 1 large room 300xlong)
maze my current project, should be up this weekend

future plans, well expanding it :) i enjoy building huge things of any kind that other people can enjoy playing with

im also thinking about making a mass event after the maze is done, finding codes around my bases
the codes will unlock chests filled with goodies etc

Why should we grant this city protection?

its a high activity area, i get lot of visitors daily

i used to have most protected, until a certain update where i lost tons of $$$ on broken ps
ops could save only a hand full of them, the costs to protect all of this are in no way acceptable

and last i would very much like to ensure no more random people build there stuf within my area
couse it isnt the first time i had to buy out someone,
that liked to build his house on top of my underground project or right next to unfinished parts
