Offtopic / Opticraft League of Legends
« on: November 26, 2014, 02:00:42 am »
Hello everyone!

After some discussion on Creative, it came to light that several people here actually play League of Legends.  Clearly, this means we must make a team. If you play LoL and are interested in signing up, please reply with the following template:
Code: [Select]
[b]IGN:[/b]
[b]Rank:[/b] (This is to match similarly ranked players
[b]Main Role(s):[/b]
[b]Favorite/Main Champ(s):[/b]

We'll see you on the Rift!

Accepted Operator Apps / [Operator Application] - Your_Mine
« on: November 18, 2014, 01:25:16 am »
In-game name: Your_Mine
Age: 20
Location: Kentucky, USA
Timezone: EST (or EDT?)
Join Date: September 2011 (Classic)
Were you recommended by any staff?: No
Why you should become an Operator: I have a lot of experience in the minecraft community, having been an operator on the Classic server back when we had hundreds of guests on at any given time.  I have also had experience co-running an SMP server for several months.
Additionally, I believe I am a mature, reasonable player and person, capable of handling the demands of moderating the Creative server.  I know how to tell the difference between a well-meaning player who accidentally broke a rule and an ill-intentioned player is just there to grief and cause trouble.  I'm capable of helping new players learn the ropes and instruct them in the use of our commands.  I believe I am a fair judge when it comes to build quality.  I was one of the stricter ops on Classic and I think that will fit in with the new standards here on Creative.

General Discussion / [OSL] Classic Spleef Leagues!
« on: December 28, 2012, 11:03:12 pm »
Spleef Leagues!
Sign-ups beginning now!

Good news! The official Opticraft Spleef world is now complete! Many, many thanks to the people built stadiums for this, and to the people who worked hard to get the world ready for use: UnknownHedgeHog, gavin1928374655, That1Gie, officiersmirnof, Turtleman918, gameguy96, and others that I may have missed.

So what's next?

It's time to use it! I will be running the official Opticraft Spleef League (OSL). This consists of leagues for two-player teams, three-player teams, and four-player teams. We will be running seasons of matches in addition to regular tournaments. Myself or my assistants will post rough schedules (subject to change depending on players' individual availabilities) on the official running thread. (I'll include a link here later. It will also be tagged with [OSL].)

Team Sign-Ups
Starting now, on this thread, you can sign up a team of two to four players to play the different versions of spleef: Classic, Spleef the Flag, and Search and Destroy. Only four-player teams will be able to play SnD.  Please note that players can only sign-up with one team of each category (2,3, or 4). Players must be at least recruit rank to play.

Referees
We will also need referees to help with running the games, since I won't be available all of the time. Please note that in order to be a referee, you cannot be a member of any team in that league, i.e. a member of a four-player team cannot referee the four-player league, but they can ref in the two-or-three-player leagues. Must be at least recruit to apply.

Post your sign-ups now!

Suggestions / New "Trade" Forum Section
« on: May 29, 2012, 03:02:00 pm »
There seems to be a sharp increase in the number of topics selling "Fortune 53 Mining Picks" and "4,000 sq m mansion with five bedrooms and four bathrooms" etc.  IMO, there's enough of them to warrant their own forum section, called "Trade", in which all buying and selling requests would go, for items, properties, and usage of spawners.

Projects / Spleef Arena Contest (SAC)
« on: May 07, 2012, 02:29:06 pm »
We need builders to help us make some very awesome spleef arenas for the official spleef leagues, coming soon!
There will be three different types of arenas needed:

Classic
An arena built with the same rules as the normal game of spleef that we are so familiar with.
Minimum arena size is 30x30.
Arena must include starting points set in the walls above the floor.  Minimum of eight such points required.
Bonus points will be awarded for arenas with the option for multi-level spleef.  Each floor must be far enough apart that players cannot break the blocks of the floor above them, even while jumping (with hacks off).


Spleef the Flag (STF)
Game rules: (Flags are gold blocks)
1. Each team must start in the starting point in the wall above the floor, on the side with their flag.
2. Each team may build around their flag as they please
3. Once someone is knocked down, they are down for the rest of the match
4. Neither team may move their flag, place a second flag, nor may they build anything with gold
5. The game is over once a flag has been destroyed or the all the opposing team members have been knocked out
6. Players may build bridges above, across, but not below the gap
7. NO HACKS
8. Teams may not build below the starting floor, however they may build above
Arena Requirements:
Single level spleef arena, minimum 40x80, with a 10 block gap in the middle.  Players are divided into two teams, and each team tries to destroy the other team's "flag", which is one gold block.
There must be sufficient space above the arena floor for players to build bridges and walls, if they so choose.
Arenas must include two large starting points set in the wall above the floor.


Search and Destroy
Game Rules:
1. Players may destroy both floors and walls placed by players
2. A player is out once they have fallen through the bottom floor
3. Players may build walls
4. Players start in starting points set in the walls above the top floor
5. Players may not build below the bottom floor
6. No walls may be placed before the match
7. Once someone is knocked down, they are down for the rest of the match
8. The game is over once there is only one person left standing
9. NO HACKS!
Arena requirements:
Minimum size 100x80
Minimum twenty starting points
Must have at least three floors
Must have stairs between levels, preferably at least two between each level
Must include some walls
Arena will be rated on the balance of three things:
1. Ease of reconstruction with cuboid
2. Level of interest.  Go for a laser-tag style arena
3. Ease with which sections can be portioned off for smaller groups


Submit your application to build here!  Must be recruit+ to apply.  Please have your build already built with screenshots ready before applying.  Your build will not be considered unless you have posted it here.  Be sure to include information so that we can locate your build in-game.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please post them here.  I will try and respond as soon as I can.

(Credits to KCB38 for the original idea)
And also to lLLEGAL for giving the name.

 
Thanks Illegal. That's a good name. But what about the Search and Destroy Part......

Support / minestatus.net Voting Issue
« on: March 14, 2012, 06:09:47 pm »
While trying to vote for the server today, I experienced difficulty getting the captcha for minestatus.net to load. After several attempts, it finally loaded. But when I clicked vote, the Opticraft page redirected to the main page, with this error message:
Quote
This server has been disabled by Minestatus. Reason: Circumventing the vote page on Minestatus, abusing anti-automation challenge to proxy the CAPTCHA onto their website.
Just an FYI, not sure if it can fixed or not. Looks like we may have to go back to the old voting system for that site.

Discussion forum / Principals
« on: February 14, 2012, 02:38:48 am »
I'd like to say a few things that are bothering me.  Mainly, it has to do with the way people in this community have been treating each other recently, even before this issue blew up.

Firstly, I would like everyone to start thinking of this community as a single team.  Recently, it seems like people have had a admin vs. certain ops mentality.  This isn't the way it should be! Remember that the admins have put in an awful lot of work into this server, and their only goal is to help the community grow.  Also keep in mind what the operators have done for this server.  Everyone in this community deserves respect, even if for no other reason than that they are a human being (not a name with an attitude).

Secondly, building on the idea of teamwork, I'd like to challenge everyone in this server to do something:
If you disagree with someone's actions or attitude, talk to them about it.  Don't sit back, "lose respect for that person", and then gossip about it when that person isn't online.  That helps absolutely nothing.  What I want you to do is to pm that person on the forum or IRC, and discuss it with them.  Treat them with respect, don't take a confrontational attitude, and simply voice your concerns.  Most likely, they will appreciate your input and take it into consideration, especially if they are someone on the staff.  This should especially be effected with the admins.  It seems that several people have had their problems with the way things have been run, but never said anything about it until now, and unloaded everything at once.  This practice (actually called "stamp-booking") is very damaging to relationships.  So please, please open up the communication lines and work together to improve ourselves.  Let's learn from recent events, and become a stronger community.


Keeping the above things in mind, it has come to my attention that someone thinks that I promote to recruit too easily.  This concerns me, as I have thought that I had high standards.  So I politely ask that whoever has this concern please pm me (not mention it here) and I'd like to work it out with you.  I'm not mad, don't worry, I just want to improve as an op. ;)

Accepted / Operator Application - Your_Mine
« on: January 28, 2012, 07:15:11 am »
Name: Your_Mine
Age: 18
Location: Eastern United States
Timezone: GMT-5
Join Date: September 30, 2011
Forum Join Date: September 30, 2011
Current Rank: Builder
Reason for application: Ever since the SMP server was updated to 1.0, many of our classic ops have moved there and helped out with the great many new features that were added. Although the SMP server is doing well with such experienced help, the classic server has unfortunately been left somewhat neglected. During the hours that I play, 95% of the time there is no operator on. It hurts me when I tell guest after guest that I cannot ban this griefer or fix their house. It hurts worse when they quit in frustration because no one was there to help. I want to be able to help our guests because we can't keep losing potential builders and donators. I want to help Opticraft grow; we are already the best classic server there is, yet we can be even better. We just need to take care of our guests.  I still remember the first time I was griefed as a guest, and the frustration that I felt at losing all that work. I want to be able to help others avoid that same frustration.
Why you should become an operator: As builder, I have helped guests in every way possible, by cleaning up towers or giving advice on builds. I have been with this server a long time, and I know the community well. I am very mature, and capable of handling troublesome guests and helping the good ones.  I am also a very quick learner. If I make a mistake, I will learn from it and I am not likely to repeat it. Additionally, I am an operator on another server, so I have some experience in this role.  I am fully responsible with such powers, I will not abuse them.
Have you been temp-op before?: No.
Extra information: None.
