Too many players wanting and needing help all at the same time, a player negatively comparing my loosely-regulated server to another tightly-regulated server. 22 hours awake with a couple more hours to go wasn't helping. After a WorldEdit mistake, I shut the d**med thing down and powered off the computer. Silence is golden tonight :) Yes, I got mad and made a hasty action. More mad at myself for the WE screw-up and slow server than anything else.
I was helping one player learn how to mine and make things. That can often take a *lot* of time. But I have learned that if I teach one player how to do something, that player will often teach others. Though likely not teach someone "that was being mean to me"
This is a PvP server. That includes 'ground wars' of hostile protection blocks placed by hostile players. I temper that if I see someone building something really nice and I decide to help the construction.
I didn't seek out young kids that don't know how to play the game, to play on this world but I have them and lots of them. Because of that, they are now my target audience. This server will aim to be a place where kids can stand around and chat, whack each other with wood swords or barehanded, and hopefully have fun doing it. I allow a lot of actions and talk that I don't like seeing though I have rules against it. I do that due to my belief that if a kid is shielded too much from the realities of the real world, then that kid will not be prepared for person-to-person interaction in the real world. You can't handle a cheat or liar unless you have encountered one before. I do have my limits on what actions I will allow and when a player reaches those limits and I see what is happening, I will act.
I do occasionally get players that want to build creatively. If I become aware of what they are making and they need my help or materials, I very often do so. Though you are warned that this server is *not* targeted for creative play.
I have a few "sub-admins" with the privs to kick players. I wish I could grant them privs to do more that that using temp-ban of,say, up to a week's duration. I believe that permanent banning should only come from me, the Admin. "If someone is going to screw up big time, let it be the big guy that does it"
If you like my server, great. Stay and play. If you don't like it, you can ask for me to change things. I might do that. Though don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. I do have lots of ideas that have not been implemented yet. Some may never be. Or if you are going to criticize my server and the way it is run, feel free to do so. I might even agree with you though you might not know it. Then you can go play on any of the other 160+ servers that are available and have different mods and goals. Find a server that *you* enjoy wherever that is
I don't often play on this server. I'm sorry but hanging with young kids chatting about who is 'dating' who, etc isn't for me. Though I do try to keep an eye on what is happening and when I do play here, I have learned how not to attract attention hehe. If you see ADMIN in the world, he isn't there for play but work.
I am going to spend the next couple of hours looking over the world, seeing to what problems I can fix without the loud noise (chat) and server lag caused by many players. I am not going to rush this though I likely won't find everything that 'needs fixing'. Then I'll reset the server and announce it.

I prefer FlightGear. Though I did go check out RoR. Pretty nice. I might download it sometime.
See ya :)

843jdc wrote:The mods are being heavily reworked. Expect things to break over the new several weeks. Send me /mail to inform me of any problems. Do not expect a fast fix to every problem. I do save the /mail messages that I get until I resolve the problems. So please don't resend reports unless I ask if the problem is still there.
Example: Doors mod
I studied the code, understood all but a few functions. Mainly how the nodes are named and renamed. Made and applied my changes. We now have unknown nodes on top of doors. I decided that it would be easier and faster for players to dig and replace their doors than for me to spend more time studying that last bit of code.
I have a lot of requests in my 'todo' queue. I hope to start working on them after I make these changes. Maybe then I will be able to delete all those /mails that I've saved.

Server is being moved to its own drive.
Then I need to verify that I can access it from both Windows and Linux and that it keeps the same IP address each time.
Server will be up again sometime tonight. Maybe
