Hello Everyone, I thought I would make an official Introduction on the introduction forum.

I’m GodsDead, Real names Tom. I have been playing on PirateCraft since 2012 and Live in England.

I created PirateCraft with @supergl back in 2012 as a means for us to mess around in minecraft together, we originally hosted the PirateCraft server on 2 separate ancient desktop machines, we had one each and alternated hosting the server for when we wanted to play together, we experimented with many crazy plugins back in the day, There’s one plugin I can still remember using back then that allowed you to create radio towers and devices to pick up the radio signal, so you could leave a message to be broadcast around a proximity area of the map by picking it up on a crafted device.

I get asked a lot where my username originated, I have had the alias GodsDead for about 12 years, I created it when I was about 15/16; I was really into Nine Inch nails at the time, and fell in love with a track called Heresy, I coined the name GodsDead from its lyrics which went:

Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I’ll see you there

Full lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/heresy.html Song on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8MByH0ELSo

I don’t listen to NIN any more, but the name stuck, when it came around to creating a minecraft account, I just went default and picked my online alias.

I’ve always been a fan of creating community’s, this isn’t my first gaming community, I used to run a Counter Strike Source server years ago, and before that I have hosted a few bespoke forums that were active, I still play Counter strike from time to time and even with 10+ years playing I still suck!

I love creating things, and a project like PirateCraft keeps me constantly busy, website design and development, system Ops, graphic design, video editing, script writing, The main reason I love running PirateCraft is the community, seeing other people enjoy things you have built is amazing to me, every time I see a large player count I get exited, even after all these years!

I work full time and run PirateCraft as a hobby in my spare time around other hobbies, Im a massive fan of weight lifting, snowboarding and music. I’m listening to music all day every day from when I wake up until I sleep!

Favorite proper drinks are Rum and Ale.

Why did I create a Pirate themed minecraft server? Because Pirates are awesome. Yo ho ho bitches!

Whats my favorite gif of all time? Literally impossible to choose 1, but I absolutely love this one, gets me every time.

Right, I have had these problems since yesterday.

Let me begin.

I basically yesterday, turned off my laptop whilst it was restarting, mainly after seeing it say it was updating Windows or something, which I didn’t want to happen.

So I then got this strange error called error c0000034 windows 8 apply update operation 1025 of 57504, come up when I tried to turn my computer back on.

I then refreshed my computer (keeping my files), another nail biting half an hour.

Eventually, everything was ok, and I was hoping that everything would be fine.

I redownloaded MineCraft, I then started it up, with little problems logging in, and then got to PirateCraft and then the Java(TM) SE Binary Not Working came up.

Since then, I’ve tried redownloading Java which did nothing, and I have looked up various ways of fixing it, with all comments mainly pointing to the fact it did not help them out, and that it’d be risky.

I got some help from Thymen, who did a whole great deal of help for me, but it unfortunately didn’t work.

I’d absolutely love it if any body on the server/forums could perhaps give me any help on this problem of mine.

I’d much rather they have had the same problem perhaps and tell me how they over came this.

I believe I had the same problem about 6 months ago, but it ended in my computer seeing a technician and him taking about 6 weeks to fix it all.

It cost £120, so any way to get it done freely would be most helpful.

I know that the information may be vague, but I’ll try find any details anyone may need to help diagnose the problem further or perhaps guide them.

I have Java 64 installed also and my computer is about 2 years old (perhaps?).

I also had a strange thing happen, I had a document file created in the future (only a couple of hours) at 6 past midnight, the date 9/01/17.

So, please help me if you can.

If we also get to no great conclusion, then my time will be limited until I can get back online.

GCSEs (exams) coming very soon will severely hinder my chances of getting my computer to a technician mainly because of revision, so that would mean I’d have to wait until afterwards (and could choose a reward which would be as getting this darn thing fixed).

And also, the fact my parents would probably be anti me going on the family laptop to use the minecraft there for my brother and login into my account that way (which I’ve done before last time this happened).

SO I hope things can work out, and maybe I can be back soon… perhaps. :/

Sincerely yours

Palmer.

Hey everyone it’s me…

Anyway, I have made this graphic that shows the crews and their allies/rivals. It is based off the active crew list. This is probably quite a bit outdated by now but this was more of a trial run. Should I make more? Could I do anything to make it better?

Well I hope you enjoy anyway 🙂

*The circles are now transparent and their scale is based off the area so it’s more accurate 😉

AppleJK reminded me during a conversation a few weeks ago that the active crew list needs updating. So I’ve prepared a new list in time for new year 2017.

First off, I’d like to make some points clear:

1. This is based off data from the 28th and 29th December 2016. It is entirely possible that people have changed crews, come back from inactivity or founded new crews in the meantime.
2. The crews are ranked alphabetically (omitting “The” from the title). The listed players are all the crew members who have been active in the past 30 days. They are listed chronologically with the active crew leaders at the beginning. Anyone who hasn’t been active in that time frame is not included. That includes crew leaders.
3. The crew names are spelt as they are in-game, including typos and spacing issues. I might have typed some of the player names wrong, but please don’t rip my head off because of that. I can’t help it if someone named themselves something untypable like xXxn3P4HanTeeM7824xXx…
4. There are a LOT of crews I don’t know anything about. Feel free to post more information below!

So, on to the list!
