Do you live in the USA? Cyber bullying is a crime. And if you are under 18 you don’t have to ask people to stop at all.

Hello, When filling out a complaint, please be sure to use the proper format. Thank you.

I find it sad that when a long term player is leaving you make this post and 6 people, INCLUDING A STAFF MEMBER liked it. This isn’t how we should act when someone is quitting because someone bullied them…

Well I mean you say that yet I liked to quote because it made this thread slightly more uplifting and on another note it is his choice to leave and killing someone isn’t bullying he never really did anything to stop the “unnamed players” from attacking them like maybe attacking back I mean I get its sad and all that he is leaving but I just don’t think he should make a forum like this I mean if anyone was to live I’d hope they try to leave on a good note and do some type of give away or like a raid for fun or something but I mean he probably has his reasons for leaving but if it really was harassment he should of reported them instead of making this forum (I highly doubt it will count as harassment)

Had to edit because the quote picture messed up

Aha. Some of these stories are so funny. My story, well my real life one is pretty sad, not anything to do with games, just things which have happened But i’ll at least tell yall how I got my Username. In Year 6 (5th Grade if your a yank), we were soon to be moving to our secondary school, a teacher of a name of the most incredible name you could think of (Andrews) came & talked to us about SCIENCE! This was my forte & interest since I first started school probably & I’ve always liked Science (probs why i’m taking it for GCSEs, and predicted good grades) & he was teaching us about rockets. He showed us a video of the SSC Bloodhound (before it did it’s record breaking drive last year, I am now in Year 10, this was like 3 years ago perhaps this story when it happened) & made hydrogen gas under a test tube by splitting water with electrodes & then did a ‘pop’ test by igniting the hydrogen. He then gave us the task to make a paper/card rocket & that a competition would arise from it that the rocket which stayed in the air long enough would win. We all got set to work, yet remember how I told you my life is a bit sad (well more so back then) I did this on my own, probably because I wanted all the credit. With an irrational sense of optimism as we walked out onto the fields with our little paper rockets, I was thinking up a good name for my rocket, I had recently watch the film Armageddon (not something a 11 year old boy should have been watching at that age xD) & I thought of calling my rocket that, until it hit me… Palmerageddon. We all stood in a circle as this epic man from the ‘big school’ with his trusty pump on the ground, lowered the first rocket onto it, a build up of air pressure soon was created and POOF! up it went into the sky. He timed it from when it was launched to when it hit the ground. Slowly, more and more people’s rockets were launched, some successful & some not so. I was last, the two girls before me had gotten the best time out of anyone else that day! I stepped slowly up to the pump, handed the shiny bald man my Palmerageddon, & watched as it was pumped full of air. POOF! Up it went, and a good height too, but now listen closely, this is the best part. My rocket had 4 ‘wings’ on the side, 2 at the top, 2 at the bottom. Each was opposite each other & where attached to the rocket in such a way, that the configuration was never quite the same, yet it was what you could call ‘symetrical’. But as the rocket reached it’s highest point, it began to turn onto it’s sides, and the ‘wings’ began to work, those wings worked like parachutes for the thing, & put it at an angle so that it even ‘glided’ in away! Unfortunately for someone in my class, straight into their face xD Yet despite this slight time penalty, I WON!!!!!! Andrews was very proud & intrigued by my small rocket & asked to take it back to the ‘big school’ to show around there, yet promised to bring it back. Another good part was, my rocket held the record for all the schools he visited! This was the rocket which created & forever will hold & treasure the name, Palmerageddon. Infact, I’ve still go the rocket some where xD If I can find it, I’ll take a picture & post it, mind you it is a bit old & so is a bit floppy, but it still brings back those fond memories. -Palmer

@palmergeddon did the rocket hit you!?

waht about water buckets on ships?

Unfortunately, no this is not allowed as well you can also make what seems like a car or a tank with water buckets

Actually, they allow it sometimes, the NRR is building a metro system, however this is a very closed system that cant be exploited, so that may be why they allow it. P.S before you ask yes i have talked to admins about it

So far, I’m finding this quite annoying 🙂 Every time someone /msg’s me, I get a lovely little note block sounds, and I spent ages trying to see if someone had set up a note block machine near my base 😛

Other than that, I love all the new features, and although the swearing filter might need to be a bit more lenient, I’m all for pirate slang being shown in the chat 🙂

Some pirate speak for you

I have never told anyone the origin of my name, It is a secret I have always kept close to my chest and, until today, one I thought I always would. However times change; and things that once where hidden can now come to light. I am sure I am not alone in noticing that the current world of piratecraft is a much safer place than what it once was, and one that is more forgiving too – in fact, I doubt I would suffer much compared to the horrors I would have faced before if I had told my story so for this reason I have decided it is time to make it known.

It sure is a coincidence that this topic came up on the very day I decided to reveal myself.

Anyway, without any more preamble, I shall accurately recount without bias the story of how I got my name and allow the community of piratecraft (in other words, whoever can be bothered to read this) to place judgement upon me. I can only hope it is not too harsh.

I was first given the name of Gildor by my parents, who named me after the popular automatic doors company, http://gildor.com/. I believe that they wished me to become a merchant, and hoped that the prestige of the company would associate with me somewhat, though it was only in my later years that I followed my parent’s wishes.

Unbeknownst to my parents, there was another company that used the name Gildor, https://www.comedy.co.uk/company/gildor_films/. Though my parents wanted the best for me in life, they could not have known the effect this company would have on me and the various ways that my downfall was because of it.

I left the world of education with a PhD in Biological sciences after years of hard work, and prepared to enter the world of science. Keen to finally do something after years of study, I made a career of field research in remote places and happily lived until a few years later, when on an expedition I saw something I should not have seen. The things they keep hidden would shock anyone, but what I saw was impossible to comprehend with a human mind and to this day I do not know what it was, only that there was a thing and I saw it.

Stupidly, I tried to publish a paper on it.

I was contacted by the Gildor film company after this paper had been in circulation for slightly less than a year, and I agreed to work with them on a film involving a fictional conspiracy. They said the paper I wrote, though as a serious peice of scientific work had little merit, when looked at through the eyes of fiction was excellent. I should have known that no real company would show interest in a madman and that it was too perfect for the company to have the same name as me.

They used the film to discredit me and all I had ever worked for, I presume by request of whoever was behind the terrible thing I saw, and as a result I became known as “stinky” throughout the scientific world.

I had to leave the continent; people do not take kindly to those who make mistakes in that part of the world. This was the point I entered the world of piratecraft.

With my career in tatters and my reputation ruined, I turned to all that was left; business. First I tried a publishing company with little success, until advancements in chemical technology led to a new breed of “custom” potions being discovered. Seeing the opportunity, I used my last money and rented a shop where I could sell these potions at a large trading port under control of the British Empire.

The people of this world had not heard of my ‘discovery’ so I was able to finally walk safely in the streets and forget about what had happened, though I have kept the name “stinky” in memorium of all I had lost; a career and a reputation.

A smart idea Brandon but it’s been thought of before and unfortunately is not allowed as this is a see based ships server. No flying ships allowed. Admins take down ships that bypass the system.

I did not know that, though I’ve seen people before with ‘Submarine’ flying ships before, I thought those were fine.

& Brandon, your design is pretty terrible xD, it’s just a pole with a couple of blocks on the top of it.

Infact, it’s not even a pole, it’s a couple of blocks under some other couple of blocks xD

Brandon read the top of this post godsy said no ETA so dont ask 😛
