I think demotion information should be required too. Thank you for making this, I hope this solves our (staff's) communication problem.

nope! We have map backups about once every half hour just in case! So if the server DOES go down, the most you'll lose is half an hour.

it'd be nice to have a gm's input before a major server change is implemented

Why Don't people talk about artisan promos on forums anymore? Why must we promote anyone willy nilly? Alexandros2000 GRIEFED less than a week ago! WHY THE HELL IS HE TRUSTED ENOUGH TO BE ARTISAN? I think we need to post more stuff more often so every expert/adept knows about Mason+ Promotions/Demotions and why. If we don't have organization, we have CHAOS.

Why even limit something like this? I think a personal map is a personal map. Size should be limited to how creative/how much their computer can handle ? Isn't a map slot a map slot?

Doom, Remember, I was only adept for a week b4 i was made expert, so time isn't a factor. If he has the skills and time, I say why not?

Seriously? 2 votes and 1 is mine in a week? Do people even read the forums anymore?

I agree with artisan+ cuz thats how sharok wants SMP right now anyways. Just give it to doom, XD

I say yes based on attitude/maturity

Both SMP and Classic are UP. Don't know your issue.

I think I'm ready to move out of the wilderness, can I join fragor? i'm highly industrial and have second highest money

Happy Birthday!

I've been saying "when you earn it". then they ask "when will that be?" "whenever you meet the requirements" "what are the requirements?" "Just behave long enough, and we'll come to you"

Thats great eric, but i'm not talking about the moderator side, We already know. I mean actual /rules about not asking for rank and not to expect rank @ hours for the non-moderating side.

I honestly think we need to change the /rules to reflect that artisan+ ranks are not just timed and the second they get 60h or 100h they get promoted, because this doesn't happen. Not mentioning specific names, but there are some masons just hanging out on the server to get hours up because they think that 60h mark = instant promotion. Other masons are constantly asking because they have 60+ hours. It's super annoying and I'm pretty sure most of the Expert+ would agree. I'm not saying we ourselves can't use the 60h and 100h marks for consideration points, just that we should publicly show otherwise. I think it should be changed in the rules to something closer to : For artisan+ ranks, We'll Come to you, Asking/Begging lowers the chances.

We have artisan+ coverage 97% of the time now. Don't ask for rank, behave, build and have fun and you'll get promoted when we see that you are ready. Simple as that. Generally, the more you ask, the longer we draw it out for your next rank. Also you JUST got Mason 3 days ago. Earn our trust, don't just say that "Well you can trust me!" If anything that makes us wonder if you really CAN be trusted.

MFW I watched that video

This is what I've been playing nonstop since I found it.

YOU CAN TRUST ME YOU CAN TRUST ME RANK ME UP!!!! RANK ME UP!!! Haven't you people figured out that this game isn't about ranking up? Its about building stuff that comes to your mind. You want to build a scale model of the statue of liberty? Cool! You want to draw pixel art of zelda killing a bush? Awesome! Do you build so you can be ranked up? NO! You build it because its fun! You build it because other people can see how good you are at design and creativity. The rank system is in place to give the right people access to commands to show off that creativity. If we just gave everyone full access to all the commands, we'd have chaos! Artisans have some kick/freeze power JUST IN CASE there are no adepts or experts on! Higher ranks = Bigger worlds, More cuboid limit and More powerful commands! If you aren't that great at building, you DON'T NEED the bigger limits, worlds and commands! As for you getting ANY rank, We'll come to you, DON'T ASK FOR IT! TL;DR game is about building, not ranking

I VOTE DOOM. Once again.... HERES AN ELEPHANT!

Everyone should be able to believe in whatever they like without other people telling them that they are wrong. I respect all religions, but if I had to choose one, It'd be Taoism, simply because its principles don't dictate that other religions are wrong.

since you posted in classic, that's where I'm assuming you thought about these being Giant World - I know what your getting at, and we kind of already have this. See Huge and Huge2 Planetoids - If this is what you mean, I see potential for a mason+ project world involving this. It would have to be a pretty big map though. Rainbow Park - reminds me of the old "acid trip" world we used to have Monster Caverns - This is very doable. We can change the environment and use hell in /gen as a base. Overall - Awesome ideas, I think we can do a few of these and have fun doing it.
