@nickmatttombros Thanks, done!
@GodsDead Thank you! A good topic, but it’s difficult to make flags out of microicons. Sadly that topic seemed to stop growing at some point. Maybe it should be given some life again. I found the Ottoman and Raven’s symbols though. As you said on the map topic, the plan is to fill the livemap with crew icons. The locations I’m gathering on the map are not enough if we don’t have icons to put!

Ahoy me harties!
Lately, a lot of players have been starting projects on many warps and have just been helping out in general. Well, this is YOUR chance to take part in one if you haven’t already! This project’s possible name would be: Republic City!
@GodsDead and I ask for your assistance to help bring this project to life. Have you ever wanted to take part in a server build? Have you ever dreamed about being respected by other players of PirateCraft for structures that you selfless have been building for OUR server? or just wanted to be respected?
Well now is your chance!
The only requirements and what you are able to do is:
– Build good/nice looking structures.
– Obey the builder rules and instructions
– Accept if your structure gets removed if those does not fit in, in any way, do not ask questions.
– Build in appropriate areas, and build appropriate time period structures.
Please Do Not:
– Annoy the builders in any way.
– Try to lure builders out of the pvp-free area.
– Pick up (and keep) items that builders have lost from death to mobs etc.
Understand that those players are doing this for the server, for Godsdead, and also for YOU.
We are looking forward to seeing you help participate in the building of this warp, as a builder.
Request below if you would like to assist in anyway, please place your IGN (In-Game-Username) in the request as well possible images of previous builds.
More information will be posted on a later date.
Happy building mateys!

Finally! This is going to affect combat on piratecraft more than the 1.9 mechanics… 😀
Thanks GodsDead and MCShovel!

@GodsDead and I have discussed this at length many times. It continues to be a major source of confusion. So allow me to clarify:
You may not return to a PvP battle with /back when you DIE
We are currently adding only the above rule as it can be enforced via staff requesting client logs. There are many other uses of /back that both GodsDead and I feel are ‘undesirable‘; however, they are not strictly against the rules.
There are a plethora of ways in which /back can be abused. I’m not going to list every possible use and make a ruling on it. If you are using it in a way you thought was against the rules a week or a month ago, then you are probably abusing it.
SIMPLY PUT:
NEVER do /back after PvP death, you will be jailed or have /back removed if you persist.
If you are truly abusing it in other ways, you will receive a verbal warning from staff, listen to them and there will not be an issue.

@PaulOnFire “/msg godsdead XYZ Abused back!”
Ok where is your proof? .. They have none? Ok so how is this policeable?
Its not, that’s the answer, I did write that up in my reply. The system needs to be automated.
Edit: I have already had someone say “well what about XYZ” as this very specific scenario was not ASKED about in the initial questions, it was left out of the reply I gave, this is EXACTLY why writing up a defined set of rules DOES NOT WORK. as obviously it is impossible to think of every angle, every single possible use. and ideas will contradict.

Thanks for the support, Godsdead. /back as a function is really useful for getting around, but it’s caused a lot of drama and grief in the past.
In reply to your suggestions:
1. I principally like the idea of this PvP timer.
(+) It completely prevents the most serious cases of harassment through /back abuse.
(-) /back can still be used to camp an area. But only one-time only – at least until five minutes are up… Is this in accordance to the rules or not?
(-) Getting PvP-tagged by accident or punched by an annoying player removes /back for 5 minutes. Ow!
I don’t suppose it’s possible to have the timer apply on player who attacks another player, i.e. the player who initiates the timer? This would prevent the annoyance of being grounded for five minutes after getting hit by another player’s shovel while digging for example. And if you don’t fight back when someone attacks you, you get to keep your own /back, but at the expense of being killed. 😛
2. I think this would damage crew integrity more than anything. You can already use alternative communication methods such as TeamSpeak to keep in touch with your fellow crew members, so it wouldn’t necessarily prevent coordinated harassment.
3. The staff needs to enforce the server rules in every scenario. I find it is very important that people can enjoy the game as they want – even if it’s at the material expense of other players (should that happen to be what tickles ones fancy)… We are a pirate server after all. But rule-breaking in any shape or form must not be tolerated without a (verbal) warning at least. The community as a whole must also take on the responsibility of standing up to foul play regardless of whether it’s an annoying a***hole who’s suffering abuse or a very powerful or popular player who’s stepping over the line.
I would find it interesting to hear what some big-time PvPers think of these suggestions! How it would it impact your gameplay?

Unfortunately there is not. Although I know our amazing owner @GodsDead is always open to suggestions.
Already covered in the forums, but this is planned.

I like this idea, while there are rare items, there have never been items that have a limited supply on the server, and if this doesnt happen, the outcome would be the entire extinction of elytra due to how fast they degrade, and due to there not being any more they could not be repaired and the elytra would go extinct entirely. This guy actually has a point @GodsDead

Well, I have had limited time on the server recently, so instead I have been very busy on Adobe Fireworks.
Aside from my version of the map, which will be coming soon, I have been working on a little something for the amazing Piratecraft team, who spend their time looking after the server to ensure we can all enjoy ourselves. Here it is:

The positions of players and items chosen are more or less random, so sorry if i picked an item you hate.. if that is even a thing.
Sorry if i missed someone ;-;

@Xeron
I agree completely cap, my very first post stated “is this aloud”, COV get very defencive when things like this come up. I am only asking a question about the legality of using chorus fruit this way. An unbiased view would be nice maybe @GodsDead could give his view? like i said though this is just clarification I am looking for.
All the chests with the good stuff were blocked and my diamonds, god etc is stored between other vaults. I was talking to godsdead a while ago and he directed my to the thread captain is talking about, this is my point not the loosing my stuff from my vault which was yes my fault for not blocking the chests( altought it is my day to day chest room so not much of any value there). So as i said in the words of godsdead “I don’t like the idea of these” and as godsy said “Which means people randomly teleporting through walls, into vaults etc, I’ve already asked the GriefPrevention dev (About 6 months ago) to make sure these do not work with Claims, he better sort that out. If he dousnt, then we will have to disable them until he does.” Should using them like this be a broken rule? i’m just asking.
As souldin said, please refrain from using the word “glitch”, as that implies something that was not intended as part of the gameplay. Chorus fruit, and the properties that that possess are clearly an intended part of the game. In the same way that the changes to combat aren’t a glitch, and the Elytra that I used to get on top of your base aren’t a glitch, the properties of chorus fruit are not a glitch. As for me, I personally see this as a good thing, this opens raiding back up as a major part of the gameplay. The idea of changing this and removing a major part of the gameplay that Mojang implemented, and that GodsDead spent months upgrading the server to is a huge waste of GodsDead’s valuable time and effort. In GodsDead’s own words: “Im not going to change how the very basic mechanics of the game work to cater for you and your crews?!?”
i just want to post this paragraph here that i found in the 1.9 main update thread-
“Chorus fruit
I don’t like the idea of these, here is the description
Teleports the player to a random nearby location when eaten (like an enderman).
Which means people randomly teleporting through walls, into vaults etc, I’ve already asked the GriefPrevention dev (About 6 months ago) to make sure these do not work with Claims, he better sort that out. If he dousnt, then we will have to disable them until he does. ”
godsy wants the 1.9 update to be as close to normal as possible, without any major changes (except gapple). he wants us to be able to use chorus fruit, but, as he said there ^^ he does not want them to be used to teleport thru walls into vaults.
i do agree on locking the chests that this all could have been prevented.

I just wanted to ask if this was aloud, turkeyman11a was sieged in my base where he has trust by the COV and when he was shot they used chorus fruits to keep “glitching” for want of a better word through solid walls until they got into my base and killed me. Then proceeded to empty one of my vaults by tping backward and forward to remove all the items. My question is i thought @GodsDead said chorus fruits would not let you get into peoples safe bases like this.
