Please welcome @Lucky Lucky_Vincentius to the Moderation team at PirateCraft, Lucky_Vincentius is now commodore rank and is here to help out with moderating poor behaviour on PirateCraft!

Thanks for helping keep PirateCraft to a top standards @Lucky.

As a note on Staff Positions, I am reviewing applications for a few more positions for the moderation team. Applications can apply here.

I have recently had a lot of issues with people not reading this form where it states “It is against the rules to request for a staff position in-game” that is being followed through, anyone that has asked about staff position in-game has had their application deleted and blacklisted from being staff.

What we really really need is a few server photographers to get the BOTM back up!

Media Team: Recruitment Form

I think I need to revise the staff application form to allow for media team now too.

Hello everyone, I wish to make a formal address to the empire. First off thank y’all for the congratulations on becoming staff, and wish to also thank y’all for everything as well. I couldn’t ask for a better group. However there is atopic I need inform everyone on.
As y’all know I’m a very busy player and my list just got a lot bigger as well. I have to deal with affairs with EE and running it, helping players out, work on my never ending to do list, and now I am a staff member which means as I play I’m doing staff related jobs. As I continue to work as staff I will get busier, and if gods promotes, I will have many things to do. And with that means I have less and less time for other things. But also means I have new issues arise too.
One issue I will have arise and dually note will be an issue is me being staff. Being staff gives me a lot of other commands which by default give EE an unfair advantage. And with that other crews may see I’m showing favoritism to EE and may think I will treat y’all differently or treat other crews unfairly. Or they might think I will abuse staff powers to give an upper hand to elves.
Due to this, I will have to step down for the title of king and retire from EE since being staff will cause more issues for not just me but EE itself if I stay as a member. I don’t not wish nor want to soil EE’s name or my own creditability from issues that arise in EE for us to fight other crews.
So with that being said I am retiring from EE before anything happens, or other staff get complains about me showing favoritism.
Now I will be leaving, but wish to help EE as much as I can without showing favoritism. Rep I will gladly stay as you current husband and help you make decisions for EE or advice you if you would let me. I can not be the king due to te reasons giving and hope yall see my point of view. Even though I wouldn’t abuse staff powers everyone makes mistakes being human as we are, I want to keep EE out of any decision I make rashly. Again I am sorry to be leaving yall, but my reasons is for fairness for all crews and to keep EE’s name intact.

Piggybacking off this update: http://piratemc.com/topic/r-is-no-longer-hijacked-minimum-pay-is-now-1/

People loved this new feature but the issue was that if it was a long time since your last conversation when the next person /msg you, you would instinctively go to /r to reply to them and it would try and send it to the last person! @Edori_an had the idea to add a timer to /r so that it would reset if your conversation had stopped after x amount of time. Well the devs loved @Edori_an idea and implemented it within the week, its now live on the server! Its set to 3 mins, and it works a charm, you can now stay in a conversation using /r without being hijacked and then it will reset itself after 3 mins after the conversation being stopped!

We can adjust this cooldown time, so lets test it and if it needs to be adjusted then please reply in here.

Hey guys, update to the website, player profiles and group profiles can now have cover images like on facebook, it seems they are responsive to the size of the browser, so they act a little differently to facebook.

Here are some quick examples,

Group cover image set.

Player cover images set:

http://piratemc.com/members/GodsDead/

To change your cover photo go to the menu top right, hover over profile and click change cover photo.

For a group, go to your group page that you admin, click manage, then click cover photo.

These could come in really handy with groups, as you could show off a groups colors, the map location, write a message in an image, show player ranks and whos who on the image. Im sure you will be able to come up with creative designs!

Only note, obviously noting offensive or rude.

Depositing item quickly into chests for donators was changed from SHIFT+RIGHT click, to SHIFT+LEFT click, this is so that donators can easily place blocks on top of chests again.

To get these perks you will need to be a donator.

Playing around with /back settings, back in like June or july I added a cooldown and a warmup to back, but only 1 worked at a time with the current plugin im using to add cooldowns and warm ups, So I switched from a warmup to a cooldown until I can do both, Cooldowns set at 60 seconds, but /back is instant (For now!) as it wont allow me to have both.
