So I was on minechat earlier and @Calliemav , @AdmiralTrench , and javainvader all saw me flying.  Idk how I did it but thought I should report it. Will be on later to see if I’m flying on my laptop too.

I’m going to cut straight to the chase with this; All of the crap that’s been happening on the server has to stop. Now. But I don’t think it will. So. Yeah. I, like so many others recently, am leaving the server. Now I know I’ve said this before and all, and come back, but this time I’m 100% done for good. People need to mature the f*** up. I know I’m not the only one to feel this way. So… As is the current fashion with people leaving, time to give a few messages to particular people.koi0001 – You annoying little piece of s*it, I love you! I hate you, but I love you at the same time! That sword you gave me recently I lost the day after you gave it to me… Some dick that goes by the name of juicebloks. Sorry about that… But yeah…

CrazyPirate1 – You were one of the first people I met on the server, and you and Adzy took me right into your protection whilst I got to know the ropes. Thank you so much for everything done, and I wish you all the best with everything you do. Stay in touch, buddy!

PaulOnFire –  You, buddy, are one of a kind. Our conversations never fail to entertain me, and I love your ability to see the good in situations where others may not be able to. Keep up the good work, buddy, and don’t you ever stop building!

Smokeyriver and Vapecloudbear – Easily two of my favourite people on the server. I genuinely love you guys, and I’ll miss playing on PirateCraft with you. Vape, don’t worry about that money you owe me. Consider it a gift! 🙂 – I’ll make sure that I’ll stay in touch with you two whilst I’m gone! 🙂

CoV – Well… I suppose you can rejoice and live in peace knowing that I won’t be here to judge what you put in furnaces from now on! I’ll be on teamspeak as often as I can to speak with you all! 🙂 <3

ultracreeper – One little bit of advice for your continued enjoyment of the server; Shut the f*ck up 🙂

Lithvather – Well, buddy. You’re one of my longer-term friends on the server, and I will miss you
🙁 – You’d better stay in contact, buddy!

Athenmos – You dick. I know it was a mistake, but I’m not sure I’m ever going to forgive you for tping HardTimez into my base. Love ya, buddy. Why the bloody hell did you have to go and get yerself banned?! You and I need to have a catch-up, pronto! Haven’t spoken to you in too long!

Keto – Well what can I say about you? You’re a great person to mess around with, a truly good friend. If I were ever in a bad mood, I’d know to come straight to you to cheer me up. Gonna miss you buddy, but I have you on Skype, so I’m sure we’ll keep in touch!

Reptaria – You are a bloody interesting character. Bit too stubborn, though, may want loosen up a bit 😛 – Gonna miss you buddy, wish you the best of luck with whatever you want to do. Also, for your own sake, don’t pick fights that you have absolutely no chance of winning.

GodsDead – Boss… Bloody hell, boss, what do I say about you? You dedicate so much of your time to the server, and people so far as I can tell don’t care half of the time. You can be stubborn, yes, but so can everyone. Guys reading this, give the boss a break. You have no clue how hard he works to make PirateCraft what it is. Hell, instead of him throwing an event for you all next time, you should throw one for him!

I will miss everyone who plays on the server, friend, or enemy, or frenemy… That’s not a word and I now hate myself… But yeah. The server needs to sort itself out. Rule 1 on the server (literally rule 1 on /rules) is “Be polite and respectful to players (no trolling, harassing, bullying etc)”. That rule, in my opinion, has not at all been enforced really recently so far as I can tell.
Anyways. Enough rambling. Hope you all find a way to stay in touch with me! Love you all! <3 – Well… I do, but I’d love you more if you sorted yourselves out. Stay in touch please, folks! 🙂 <3

The Fate:

Due to recent events on the PirateCraft server and coupled with the new’s founder: Mandarin Panda, leaving the server for the foreseeable future the news unfortunately reports an end…

To Elexandre’s Salty Reign (gottcha :P)

The Player Elexandre was recently banned of the server on the 2nd of april 2016 at 3:42 am (on my birthday xD) for finally reaping what he sowed when GodsDead and the other admins banned him for: Advertising servers, multiple warns, tempmutes, tempbans, disgisting waste of human life” [PirateCraft Ban Management]. The Events that occurred as described by GodsDead were as such:
Im sleeping at 3am,  get woken up by a skype message from EmperorLew saying Elexandre is advertising EmperorLew copycat server, so I ban them both temporarily as its 3am and im trying to sleep and I don’t have time for this crap, /ban is used; not tempban as I don’t have the patience to write out the entire command on my phone, while in bed 3/4 asleep, so I can deal with these morons in the morning, there are no staff online.

I specifically tell Chailey who seems to be talking to Elexandre, this so they both know; and I specifically tell him that if Elexandre creates a bull-crap manipulative forum post then the ban is permanent, because I know the kind of person he is (Guess where im wasting my time replying to now?)

Elexandre backups are made, you didn’t stop anything, you have never helped the server or anyone, its you and you alone.

“I was muted for simply pointing out to Godsdead that his server was being ripped off by Lew and Secondeath” Thats a complete lie; you were muted as I was knee deep in testing 1.9 and you came onto the test server and shouted “WHY WAS I KICKED”, you legitimately stopped testing for 1.9 for everyone on piratecraft because you demanded to know why you were kicked, twat. maybe you were kicked for being a complete asshole you agree to being.

Elex then posted what seemed like a ban appeal, which was then i groaned expecting to read somthing like: I’m so sorry/i lernt my lession/i didnt do it/please let me back on the server. But when i loaded up the post labeled:’Not a Ban Appeal’ it was a torrent of abuse towards many players including staff and members such as: Reptaria, Emperor Salt, Secondeath and finally GodsDead. This seals the fact that Elex will never get back on the server, although i expect that he (like most other banned players like him) will return with more abuse.

So! Many! Spammers!

Recently on PirateCraft there was a new player named Ehm. He was on the server for a while before he started to shout alot of innapropriate criticisums and comments, unfortunatly there were no staff members on at the time so most people had to deal with it. Then another player named: iiiliiilliiiliii joined the server and also started shouting the same kinds of abuse. They both admited to be alts and boasted that even if they were banned they would come back again and again and again, several more alts then joined and the server was filled with spam. Thankfully dag joined and started muting and banning all of these annoying alts and Ehm and his spammers left, swearing revenge on the server. We havnt seen him since and we can only hope he is gone forever.

GoodBye Mandarin

The Creator of PirateCraft Articles is leaving the server, mandarin_panda was an inspiration to us all and i hope that one day he will come back to us and continue where he left of with writing the news. Goodbye mandarin!

The Fate of The Articles

Many people will be glad to hear that the news will continue. I wil strive to upkeep the news that mandarin cherished and loved and will try as hard as i can to continue to keep it to two articles a week (this hasnt been recently as i have been in germany and mandarin is leaving)

No advertisements this week (contact Icanra in game to discus advertising on the news)

Icanra’s Joke of the week!

So a pirate walks into a bar, okay, and swaggers up to the barkeep and demands a glass of rum. Shouting to the barkeep: “Your rum or your life, dog, what’ll it be?”.

So the bartender, being a reasonable fellow, makes no complaint but simply grabs a large glass, a bottle of fine dark rum, and begins to pour. And while he’s waiting for the glass to fill  he sizes up the pirate, having never seen a real pirate before.

This pirate is in full pirate gear. Gold earrings, patch over the eye, a big filthy white blouse covering his sweating chest, tattoos everywhere, all of it. But protruding from his pirate trousers is the unmistakable form of a steering wheel.

Well, the bartender sees that the glass of rum is just about topped off, so he passes the glass across the bar to the pirate, who nods curtly and takes a huge swig of the rum. Slapping a doubloon on the bar top, he turns to walk away, when our bartender’s curiosity gets the best of him.

“Wait, one second. What’s up with the steering wheel?”

And the pirate turns back and fixes him with a beady glare from his one eye. “Arrr, I don’t know, but it’s drivin’ me nuts!”

Today Creepermorderen asked if they could build at /warp east to have something for players to spawn in and explore when they visited this area, so I agreed that it would be a great idea to have this entire area a player made area for others to explore! I’m not going to be running this project but I have set it up so its ready to be managed by players & staff.

• /warp east is now temporarily PVP free
• /warp east is now temporarily free to teleport to
• /warp east admin claim has permission trust to all mod staff, media staff and build staff + Creepermordere; this means that any of these people can /trust a player in the admin claim which is also non-siegeable.
• No shops are to be built anywhere near here at all, nothing for personal gain is to be abused at this warp, rules were setup for a friendly peaceful area to build something grand and work as a community for PirateCraft, not for personal gain.
• There is no immediate theme, I like the idea of an ancient ruined city, with loads of hidden areas to explore, traps, secrets and places to explore, with dark pirate roots, but im sure someone can think of something better!
• Im not entirely sure if these with permission trust can sub-claim the admin claim? can someone that’s permission trusted please try.

This is where /warp east is on the map:

http://mc.piratemc.com:8123/?worldname=PirateCraft_1&mapname=surface&zoom=5&x=3195&y=64&z=-1808

We have a Wiki page to organize a theme, and keep rules for building and create a proper structure of who is building where and what, hopefully someone can take charge that has a “vision” of what the whole area could look like?

Remember anyone can edit a Wiki, so please put any ideas down in this forum, or in the Wiki as a more structured place to look up information, remember PirateCraft urls are allowed to be posted in chat to post guidelines for building.

This is piggybacking off an old request I made for builders for the current warps left: http://piratemc.com/topic/lets-talk-spawn-locations/

First off, I would like to say: Yes, this is the title of an older post I made 8 months ago or something, but I assure you it is about a completely unrelated topic. Now I see that this may add to the depression, as many others are doing the same, but you may (most likely not) have wondered, “Where has ol’ Silver been lately? He’s rarely on and stays for only a short amount of time.”  Well, I am deeply sorry to say that the time has indeed come for me to move on. As my young (not so much) days come to an end, I now must focus on my future. I’m greatly sorry to say that this is the “end of the path” for me. I do hope you realize how much I will miss the server and all of you that I have encountered in the past year. I may reappear occasionally for a short visit, see how things are and have been, but do not expect much more from me.

As a result of my disappearance, I will distribute my personal possessions to some old friends, to show my great appreciation of how their presence had impacted my days on the server as a whole. First thing I’d like to say, my town, Port Gletscher, will rightfully be given to one of my most trusted officials, build1115, for his service and for simply being there to give the place life. All other possessions will be passed, come my last “real” day.

Before I end this post, I’ll like to share a few words for the many people who I have encountered: (Yes iGreed/ _OPM_ did the same thing, but it’s effective and necessary!)

– Reptaria (And the Elven Empire) – Rep, you’ve come so far since we first met. I remember the day as if it happened hours ago. And I know I might have hurt you and your crew/empire the most, but I do hope you forgive me on that matter. And let’s say I did suffer for it. You recruiting me a year ago was the one thing that kept me on the server, if you didn’t, then I wouldn’t stand here today. I greatly appreciate what you have done for me in the past, and I hope the best for your future.

– The British Empire – Now the crew/empire is so big and there are many names I’d like to mention, yet that would take way too long. I’ll list a few names who I believe have impacted me the most on here. Starting off with Michty: You were the one who brought me into the BE, where I have met many great people and got to get a taste of what the server really was like. You top my list, as you have helped me a great deal here, and I will never forget that. You were the one who gave me a home, a highly active crew, a new beginning, and running into may have been the best thing that happened to me on this server. CaptainCrackerz: You always seemed to be the one who made me enjoy the BE the most. You’re great to talk to and have little to no biased opinions. I enjoyed your company in the town, and hope the best for you. Lawzoneon, Keto, Knight, and Bislo: You all have made the BE alive in one way or another. Like Crackerz, I enjoyed talking to all of you and fighting by your side, even in the most devastating battles. I wish the British Empire a good may months to come, and farewell.

– NickyB_123 (And the Thirteen Colonies) – Yeah, my time in the crew was short, but I thought I’d show my appreciation anyway. Things may not go as entirely planned, and things may get rough, as I noticed before I kicked the bucket. But I wish the crew good luck in getting back together. And I really do appreciate the short time I spent in the Colonies. Good luck and good day.

– CoV – Bet most of you didn’t see this coming. Yeah I may have gotten the life kicked out of me by you guys. But you know me, can’t resist the feeling of an arrow in my head. All in all, I enjoyed playing on the server with you guys, mostly when it’s against those… people… I’ve held to my ways as a peaceful guy, but I did need a release every now an then. Cysteen, I enjoyed talking to you, you have helped me a lot during the past month, and made my final days worth the trouble. Dagersh, I may have not talked to you much, but I always found you an interesting (very) guy. Go easy on the candles man, not good for you. Elexandre, oh, shocked? No likely, as I seem to feel that it is impossible to shock you in any way. And I must say, I did enjoy your little “visits” as it’s always good to see a new face… for a split second until the flashes. I admit it, I needed a good death here and there.

For those I did not list, and you know who you are, I still appreciate all you have done for me in my time on PirateCraft. For now, I must carry on and focus on reality. I do hope to return occasionally, and hopefully see the server grow even further. – Silverstone47

P.S. – Yes this was posted on April 1st, known as April Fools Day, but this is seriously not a joke. However, it would’ve been the best “April Fool” I have made in a LONG time. But no, this is legit.

Greetings, residents of PirateCraft!

As many of you know, the British Empire lately held its third election race to determine our new Prime Minister for the next six months. The winner was anointed on 25th March 2016. It has taken a week for him to put together his new cabinet.

But now the wait is at an end at long last. Without further ado, on to the results!

Prime Minister: Chailey, once front runner for Prime Minister before leaving the British Empire last summer, finally decided to stick with the crew for six months in order to lead the British people to victory. Widely known for his incredible patience and unflinching stoicism to the cause, he will undoubtedly make the finest Prime Minister the empire has ever seen!

Vice Prime Minister: There can be no better candidate for the seat of Vice Prime Minster than the legendary Reptaria. The founder of the Elven Empire is rarely active in political topics these days and it is general knowledge that he/she currently has absolutely nothing to do on the server. With such talent going to waste, it is simply a no-brainer to appoint the leader of the elves as to the highest executive committee of Westminster.

Election Commissioner: Having run the elections from day one, there is of course no other person in the empire capable of running an internet poll other than myself, lest some terrible catastrophe occur. I have studied the art of using fully automated tools for five years in order to work out how to count votes properly – and only occasionally do I lose count using my twelve fingers.

Minister for Justice: A true paladin of the light, noble Dr. Solid is a most just and honourable soul whose wise words never get taken out of context. He despises pirates of any kind and will justly condemn wrong-doers and haters to death. Active as always, this vigilant guardian of justice will enlighten the mind of any player who follows his YouTube video links.

Chief of Police: Jedi serve as the long arm of justice of the Star Wars universe (according to the first trilogy), so ObiwanKenobi is a good choice to let loose on the likes of Javainvader, Chamberlain and HardTimez. His incredible jedi mind tricks warp the senses of his fellow players, leaving them dazed and confused. Every pirate server needs an all-powerful master of kendo to keep the naughty deckhands in check!

Minister for Recruitment: No player has reached the hearts and minds of the community like Ultracreeper. His impassioned speeches will undoubtedly accrue a loyal following of talented, free thinking donators and long-term players who will contribute greatly to the reputation of the British Empire. As a fierce advocate of modesty and even-temper, this fellow is just the right man for the job.

Home Secretary: We have always maintained a solid relationship with BensterPC, a lovable player who enjoys helping others and solving conflicts. For too long have our projects stalled and stagnated, now is the time for a real leader to take the helm and promote British values in architecture and culture.

Chancellor of the Exchequer: As everybody knows, the British Empire is in dire need of cash. Jettyman’s proven himself an apt negotiator on the forums. Even while downtrodden, he never once resorted to begging or pleading and always seems to come out as the winner of any debate he participates in. This is no doubt the person we need to handle our monetary affairs and have complete control over British expenditures.

Foreign Secretary: Widely known as a big-hearted, cuddly teddy bear, Elexandre always seeks to find the good in people and reaches out to those in need of love. When conflicts arise, Elexandre never hesitates to take the initiative and pour water on the fire, securing friendly relations with every single player on the server as well as a place in their hearts. Who else could be better to manage our international relations?

Media Commissioner: The British Empire is always in need of serious, intellectual media to recruit new, mature players. One of our loyal followers, Stampy Cat, happens to host live TV-debates and provide new insights into current topics, such as the root causes of terrorism, the long-term consequences of drug use, the influence of modern pop culture on the cognitive development of teenagers or the philosophical argumentation for and against the concept of a leisure society. Be sure to tune into his broadcasts to broaden your horizons!

Thank you for reading, we look forward to an exciting six months with our new government. If you have any questions, our Prime Minister, Vice Prime Minister or Foreign Secretary are the people you should get in touch with.

Signed,
The Election Commissioner
PaulOnFire

Title says it all. The day I come back for good I will attempt to assemble a large group of friends and allies for the sole purpose of raiding till we get sick of it. It'll be fun and a "good learning experience"! Hope situations allow me to stop stalking the forums and come on for real. P.S: Got a namechange, new name is Aariak(?).
