Many people don't seem to realize the frustrations of maintaining order on the server. I apologize for my actions against Renzatic earlier, however you have to realize that I have to deal with the same shit from everyone.
As dethtoll said: "Accidental or not, if you knock something over IRL do you not replant it?
or put it back on the table i mean."
Funny thing is that everyone pretty much says this, when on the topic. But when it comes down to actual moderation, if you're the person who "knocked" something off the table, you always seem to refute it. I had this issue with Mr Duck. He blew up some spawn, I asked him to repair the damages to the structures that Zerker has so kindly created for those spawning new on the server. He was running from the scene so I ran after him, wacked him once, and told him to go fix the damages. He then got into an argument with me telling me that it wasnt his fault, that I should ask nicely, that I hit him, etc etc. I understand if I killed you or something, but one wack to get your attention hardly merits such behavior. As far as it not being your fault... well we've already covered that. Anywho, it boiled down to him refusing to do so because it either wasnt his fault or I was a big meany or whatever, so I killed him. Felt good.
Moving on, I've had similar problems with various people. Then came Renz...

2011-12-01 09:51:36 [INFO] [Ziaeon] adn didnt replant seeds?
2011-12-01 09:51:45 [INFO] [Renzatic] I did earlier, Bob_Doe let me do the honors

2011-12-01 09:53:20 [INFO] [Renzatic] I think Alch is pissed :P
2011-12-01 10:31:04 [INFO] [Wuigi69] Some autofarm that apparently Renz used and forgot to reseed,
2011-12-01 10:31:11 [INFO] [Wuigi69] Not like he did it on purpose, sheesh.
Same fucker that went on the whole NOT MY FAULT tirade about the damages to the spawn area.
2011-12-01 10:40:26 [INFO] [Ziaeon] i ssomeone going to fucking replant this or do I seriously have to do it myseelf
2011-12-01 11:01:14 [INFO] [Renzatic] Alch's a little mad about the farm :P
So apparently, I wasn't direct enough. Apparently I didn't ask nicely. Apparently this just wasnt common sense.
You know what really pisses me off, however? This is a community, we mostly know each other. If I'm mad about, say, the farm
you wiped out without replanting (it takes a few hours for the whole thing to regrow, btw), even if you're not too sure about
what that means or hwo to fix it, you probably have an inclination by now that you did something wrong. So wouldn't you,
at the very least, say "Hey Alch sorry about the farm dude I didn't really know I was supposed to" or anything of that nature?
No, I don't get that shit. I'm not privy to such human interaction! And worst still, you'll yell at me for not asking you DIRECTLY
or nicely or with TICKLES or embedding my request between my exposed buttcheeks and several pounds of gold ingot. But then when
you dont have the gaull to directly at least say "lol whoops man I had no idea im sorry" you want me to kiss your ass for your trespasses?
Seriously people?
All in all, I'll tell you what I learned. Moderation is SHIT. Everyone is an armchair quarterback. Everyone is LAWFUL GOOD when it comes
to suggestions, but everyone is an asshat when it comes to execution. It's like you want to be treated like the queen of fucking france
but you wont spare the actual mods any slice of this human decency that you require at every exchange with Sir Highness of Earl Duke of Fuckington.
So, fuck it. The population of the server is too small currently to self moderate. Factions/polls/trial by combat would only work in a
larger community. We'll get there, but we're not there yet!

Dude, I'm giving everyone potions... Like I said im selling them for 10 obs, but I'm giving out the first ones for free. You die or something bro? Wth.
Typical bullshit. FUCK YOUR FREE POTIONS YOU TOSSED ONE AT MY FOOT AND I LOST AN ENTIRE HEART HOW WILL I EVER SURVIVE. I'm not going around killing people ffs. Gimme that potion back.
I give up, seriously! God forbid you help me fucking test anything, if you lose half a heart in the process.

What the hell is wrong with you? What is up with this? I didn't get uppity, I just didn't understand why you suddenly logged. I didnt say it was an accident. I gave you a health potion so I could test the harming potion. I asked you what your hp was to make sure you didn't die in the process. So I gave you the potion, and used the flask. You didn't die, you logged. Now you get on and talk about how I'm a twelve year old for "throwing grenades at people", when two minutes ago we were talking about how you will be a moderator to help me with the errands. I'm glad I never made that mistake, considering you can hardly handle -anything-. No wonder you ragequit last time. I' going to take great pleasure in buring down your house. I'm pulling the plug.

No I've had enough. Dethtoll was gonna be a moderator, now. He was helping me out. He's the last person I'd expect this from. I gave him some potions so I could test the splash damage on this potion because on Sxerks it did... 2 hearts of damage. I wasnt sure if it was due to his armor though. So I try it on someone I trust and he gets on the forum calling me everything but the kitchen sink? No, forget it. None of you are worth having a community with. I'm not going to pay for this server for you guys to ruin it. I dont understand, I -didn-t kill him, I didnt attack him outright like some sort of teamkiller. I gave him some instant health potions and tried an AoE spell that hurts BOTH of us, whomever is in range. I didnt try/intend/nor succeed at killing him. So thats enough. Its just kinda silly, everyone who flings shit at me telling me I overreact or I react too quickly or whatever, when I barely spelled your name wrong and you hissy fit log off and tell me off on the forums? Yeah... ok. I'd love to say "ok guys lets regroup! cool ppl pm me for access!" But honestly, that would never work.
Lets face it, Minecraft is a sandbox game. It's about a bunch of kids playing in the sand, throwing sand in eachothers eyes and sometimes tearing down eachothers sand castles. And at best of times, it's a bunch of kids building the best damn sandcastle ever. Unfortunately, however, this community is built up of a bunch of asshats who could never successfully play within ten feet of eachother. Talk about taking a game too seriously?
But you seem to forget, Necival and I are forking out for this server.
Edit: You know, in retrospect, I dont want to do that. Because truth be told Necival, Kanchi, and I are still going to play on the server. Instead of punishing everybody, I'll just route out the bad eggs. I am the server admin. If I say you go, you go. End of fucking story. You guys can come back in.
Oh and as stated earlier, bob is going to be a server admin now so I can step down from this for a while. It's rather tiring.
Again, just to be thorough, lets outline the recent events and how they relate to you, the gamers.
Killing someone for no reason will not be tolerated.
Admins cannot use people as their test subjects. This will be explicit from now on, god forbid someone have a personal issue with being granted equipment/items in exchange for losing a few hearts.
Thats about it, not much has changed. Basically, TL;DR would say "dehttoll had a hissy fit cause Alchemist used a harming potion on him, while supplying him with health potions. Dethtoll ragequit and insulted Alchemist on forums. Dethtoll left to bancamp."
Seriously, if I straight up grief you or kill you in game, call me on it, please. No one is ever going to be banned because of this. But start insulting me as much as your fingers can muster? Yeah, bancamp. I'm not god, nor am I server admin king jarl the third, but I do moderate the server. The rest is to my discretion.
Also, no one burn down/loot his house just yet.

Actually it gives me every right to be an ass. Your right, however, is to not participate if you dont like how the server is run. And in the interest of hosting a server, I would want people to stay, no? Thats how that works.
Basically, I understand what you're saying but you've seemed to misread my intentions here. I am an asshole. I am not very sensitive. However, I have tried to establish a "Friendly place" to get people to play. If someone turns on that, I go back to being an asshole. From now on, I wont sugar coat it, lest you get it confused. I'll fucking ban you for whatever fucking reason I can com up with. End of story. I dont want to, however. I want people to play. So how about you just play and dont mess with my farm and everything should be fine.
Oh and cry me a river deth. The server is for my IRL friends. You people were just background noise. Also the burning down your house thing was a joke, you'll note in the following post I advised people not to destroy/loot your house. Enjoy speaking like an imbecile due to your hearing impediment buddy, I'm going to go play some Skyrim and cry myself to sleep. :)
