my thing with that is, how would you enforce how many lives they had left?

I have set up a spleef arena, with 3 floors each 65x65 , but with the first floor having a zoned 32x32 area that can be turned into a tournament board, as well as a 9x9 sudden death (that could also be used for memory game?). We tested it for the first time today and it seemed to be a pretty good success. It came to my attention that while we have some concrete tournament rules, we have no actual free for all rules. The current idea of free for all is 3 65x65 boards that many people can play on. Once you fall through, thats a life lost, go to next round. thats really as far as we've gotten on rules for free for all. Tournament Rules : Board Specifications (referee responsible) Must use 32x32 center board, the rest of the FFA bedrock and the lower levels zoned (they are all marked). Must use Logs for Tournament board untill the final match, in which case, use glass. It makes it harder to play and funner to watch. Must create 1 block high wall around edge of tournament board out of bedrock 1. Contestants get on either corner , and a 5 second /timer is used (or countdown if expert+ not available). 2. Contestants may build, but nothing more than replacing floor to move. (If they want to spend time fixing large portions of the board 1 block at a time, fine, but its probably not a good strategy.) 3. Contestants CANNOT USE HACKS on WOM or otherwise. 4. If a contestant leaves in the middle of the tournament, his match will be put as the last fight of that round of the tournament. If he fails to show by the time the fight is supposed to start, their opponent wins by default, and advances in the tournament. 5. Spectators must be either on the bedrock surrounding the match or in the stands. NOBODY is allowed to "spectate" from the floor BELOW the spleef floor. (prevents siblings/friends from helping cheaters). This is about as many rules as I could think of, If needed, this rules list can be changed. I still need help as how the rest of the arena can be utilized.

I personally say no to individual names. the codes might kind of help, but the worlds list looks organized as is imo. If you renamed worlds like SanFrancalico or what have you, people would get confused. You must realize the general age of people joining the server. 11ish-16ish MAYBE if you did something along the lines of RookieFornia RookieSisco or even RavensdaleR1 ArabiR2 , but even that would look bad. IF YOU COULD FIND A WAY to make original names, but the /worlds list to look organized, (involves alphabetizing and categorizing by rank) I'd support it.

underneath the stove

meh, I'm kind of for the idea of making a join world, where they have to read /rules and type /j main OR /j filter. I don't think we should make filter the join world, though. thoughts?

at the time, it was 30 novices, me and smartnoodle7. I promoed him to adept, went on skype, asked kev if he knew any staff online, and he got basti to get on. Its not like i just promoed and left. As for demoting after eric's trial, I didn't know anything about it. maybe if something about it were posted instead of just done, we wouldn't have any miscommunication.

As of this posting, has 37.7 hours, Currently Promoted to Artisan. Had earlier promoted to Adept because of the rush and lack of staff. More staff came on eventually, and a few hours later back to Artisan. Something was mentioned about him on adept trial? Personally I think 50 hours would be the bare minimum for adept, and we're not understaffed or anything like that, we just had one small instance. Given the chance though, he was a pretty decent mod. He's definitely got experience.

I say yes for Peadle trustworthy and niceness. they've never made any trouble and I vote for Promo @85ish.

For the record , the maps that I "stole" were fcraft's originally anyways, and we've cleared their use on our server with Pemalite.

This project is such a headache. I'm pulling the plug on it. Those idiots don't deserve a life boat. There is a reason they are on a failing server, and its them. 21:35APBotalecmacher: po come in21:35APBot#Stan: Wanna do the ranking?21:35Lightning_PoAITM Lifeboat project has been scrapped21:35APBot#Stan: Id21:35Lightning_Poenjoy yourselves21:35APBotalecmacher: well your ban here is for sure21:35APBot#Stan: 876 317 74621:35APBotalecmacher: ok21:35APBotalecmacher: pass?21:35Lightning_Pofine, you guys are dicks anyways21:35APBot#Stan: 476jag is pass21:36Lightning_PoI stick out a helping hand21:36APBotalecmacher: well your server is a dick21:36Lightning_Poand you idiots bite it21:36APBotalecmacher: helping hand?!!!!21:36Lightning_Poyou know it for yourself21:36Lightning_Postan dont give a fuck about the server21:36StanSo are you21:36Lightning_Poits eventual death is imminent21:36 *** Lightning_Po was kicked by Stan (Good bye)21:36 !!! You have been kicked from #APC ONCE AGAIN, PULLING THE PLUG ON THIS NONSENSE, I only want jaffaminer and he'll be a mason. he was the original transfer that started this mess. If anyone objects this , please speak up.

3 artisans isn't a huge change for people count, regardless how many we had. Basically we thought that since there would be 2 servers up (smp and classic) , that we might consider taking on more staff on classic because our staff will be spread more thinly to cover smp. If you disagree with this idea or their artisan rank, please demote them to what you see fit. The idea WAS completely rushed, it went from talking about it between me zhuge and kev on skype then basically rushed into AppleCraft and asked them. Am I expecting those mods to stay permanently? no. But if we go up the list again and get busy (possibly while most staff is on SMP, ect), will I run over to applecraft and ask for their help? Of course. I'm not asking for new permanent superpowers in the server or anything as outrageous as that, I'm just asking for some backup when things get really hectic. Mostly this is planning for the future rather than planning for today. Personally, I don't care for handing out ranks. I merely suggested that we give them a chance to prove moderating ability. (except for maybe alecbahmer, I didn't 100% think that out, but still am for giving him a chance)

The whole purpose behind this entire idea is to provide more staff. Over the weekend we reached the front page and went all the way up to #8 I was told before we had to reset. We had 5 Artisan+ Staff on but at one point were still wildly overrun. That being said, We (referring to Kev, Zhuge and I) were talking and thought about adding more staff. AppleCraft is a server with a few solid staff members, but due to its small size, it gets overrun a little more often. AppleCraft just happens to run on fcraft, which this server runs. We had a simple idea to in essence borrow staff From AppleCraft for when we get too busy, and if they show any real potential , I see no reason not to promote them further based on their moderating history. We have proposed this idea to Both Onion, EricB and also to A few of the better staff members on AppleCraft. We will start them at Artisan , because it is the first rank in which you get /undox.
