You also should have learned from this Jetty that breaking decorations, dirt and a bunch of random things all over someones base during a siege is frowned upon, and as Blue said not permitted. So please do not continue going around breaking everything you can while running around like you did at Cysteen’s base just to harass the player and be an ass. Wanted to make sure you picked up on that too, not just the spawn punching to keep people from leaving. If your breaking blocks to try and get into someones base, that is a different story. Breaking most of her ducks, and her pathways, along with random blocks, wasn’t very cool. It gains you nothing and just makes a lot of wasted time for players. I live for instance in an underground box, with a purely decorative base on top. If someone were to siege me and destroy the candy kingdom decorations just for giggles, it would probably make me despise the person and start needless grudges. You should try to plan out a siege, examine their base, and look for weaknesses. That is my two cents. Mind you, I am a player that does not PvP unless I am being attacked or Cysteen is. Glad your back, but try to listen to other players advice in game. Ignoring it and waiting for staff confirmation can instead increase your chances of getting in trouble. I generally don’t do anything people say is against the rules, and then confirm with staff when possible. It avoids putting myself in a bad situation.

@P1ndr0p I am sorry, I do keep trying to edit the wiki when I can, or know of things to add. As of right now I have created a ‘super weapons’ section, in which I am gradually trudging through to fully write up and expand on so it can be read through and used as a fun piece of lore and perhaps people to take inspiration from.

Anyway, to answer your questions from my point of view=

1) I unfortunately can do bugger all for 2017, unless if people can give me things to add etc and notes on it etc (I’m kinda good at expanding on notes, but not note taking). The other reason for 2017 is so little from me is due to me killing my java in early 2017, which I could add to my wiki profile as info, but it is more down to the community in general to put this information up on the wiki, as it is the first accessible piece of information about the server, that any new comers often get after reading through the website (which would take ages).

I recommend you first of all try add and edit the wiki itself, it is quite enjoyable, so much so I do it when I should be studying- But if you can’t figure out what to write etc, just start writing the basics of what you want to document on the wiki, and possibly request one us common wiki editors to possibly write in more detailed bit about those said events of 2017 which are important. I would also recommend adding to the piratecraft timeline for this sort of thing too!

2) I personally, do not know a lot about Hydra. I personally have no quarrel with them at all and I actually love the way they have shaken the server’s foundations, which is both frightening and marvellous. I personally, don’t like to always edit other people’s topics and sections, due to often people not liking what you may write, or who may just remove everything you wrote and so it is somewhat a waste of time- this may also be a reason not much has been written about Hydra.

I would also note, and I am sure you can also agree with me on this one. Is that on a community perspective (or at least mine), Hydra is a reclusive, very private group, and though people talk about Hydra, no one often know what is actually going on half the time, due to often the lack of community interaction (at least on the talking level- at least in my view, I have never talked to a Hydra member directly so this is again my own experience), so I am sure you can see the difficulty with why this is.

On the part about pvp raids, I am surprised I guess no one else has picked them up- me included, and if no one does in the near week or so, I know what section I’ll be writing next, which you can if you like monitor and edit to your liking. I think again though, it is people having missed out some of the information etc leading up to it, but I am sure that can be left out now that I am revising that.

Apart from that, sorry, and I hope to hear from you soon. 🙂

Best Regards.

Hey there,

a quick search would’ve helped you right away. But no worries – I did that for you:

link #1  – Ae0 offering a book in minecraft . I actually own that one, if you are interested, hit me up in game ( https://piratemc.com/groups/competitive-intelligence/forum/topic/book-brewing-101/ )

link #2 – one fellow pirate was sharing his recipes ( https://piratemc.com/topic/public-list-of-brews/ )

link #3 – general info about the brews plugin update ( https://piratemc.com/2017/11/03/brew-update-november-2017/ )

I think there was another forum thread by @smokeyriver  about the brews found so far and whatnot, but I could not find it.

Good luck , mate !

from what I understand, when the sieges happened on jetty and rex (pastel and n1_), we managed to win one of the sieges, and got in. you both proceeded to punch everyone and refused to stop, even chasing us as we explored your *coughhorridcough* base. one or both of you managed to force kai into jail by constantly attacking him, forcing him to kill you because you wouldn’t leave off. afterwards, we all got kicked from siege timer ending. after that, kai was unjailed (time was up) and he was tped back in, and around this time the base was resieged, so nobody else could tp in or out. you had camped his tp point with god gear and killed him. that’s just straight up obnoxious. firstly, being annoying by punching everyone as we even just walked around, and then camping kai’s tp point. after the second siege, you nearly did the same to p1ndr0p by punching him into a hole and continuing to punch him, and wouldn’t stop. smokey had to log onto discord chat to yell at you both to stop, or he would have suffered kai’s unfortunate fate as well.

while im here, even though these may have been stated, no harm in restating I suppose. no /back after pvp related death. if you die by another player, you cannot /back. (unless if the killer says it’s ok. purpose is, you cant /back to get your stuff, or to be obnoxious and try to punch them to death.)

spawnkilling is a douche move, and shouldn’t be done. it isn’t exactly spawnkilling if you’re forcing people to kill you by punching them. at that point, youre just being annoying and you’re just giving the other players free chances to boost their kdr, get heads and up their kill streaks. and boost their ego. for some, it’s big enough.

@minister, im fairly certain that’s already a feature. you already shouldn’t be allowed to build in claims during and after siege time, during the 5 min looting period. if players are able to do that, then that should be reported to be fixed. ive experienced when that feature broke, it isn’t fun.

and jetty, this comment is to you directly. I did tell staff of several of your actions, but my intent was never to have you banned, or to try to get them to punish you. since your absence, things have changed, and im certain you’d have forgotten some of the unspoken rules, so me telling staff was just so they can properly tell you what is and isn’t allowed. since.. well… you didn’t want to listen to a damn thing anyone of us tried to say, I had to ask the staff to tell you instead. if the staff did choose to ban or punish you severely, that’d be their call, and their sole decision, and the rest of us; and you; would just have to accept and respect it. to reiterate- just don’t be an ass.

I can see what Max and Blu are saying.

It is just being an ass at the end of they day. Most people if you do respawn back in as their raiding you, as long as you don’t cause them any problems via attacking or opening chests and taking the stuff out of them, will not attack you (and if they do it’s unnecessary and can be harassment).

Spawn killing is also harassment, as well as tp trapping or spawn trapping- I got temp banned for it before, I wasn’t entirely okay with that outcome as I proceeded to stop, but then again it is again the zero tolerance policy this server goes by about 90% of the time, and it worked as I haven’t done it again though it wasn’t like I was going to anyway as I was one of the few in the group involved who did pull out of what was happening after I realised what I was doing- moral is don’t get caught up in the moment and keep a clear mind and think before how your actions could effect you rule wise, so again common sense.

Also don’t be an ass is a great one. For example, on the odd ship battle max sets up, there is always that one person who decides to ‘accidentally’ load tnt shot or someone comes along and tnt’s a ship- sometimes without not even having taken part in the battle. It also again falls to the community to also educate their peers on the rules, and to give their own take on what is and what is not allowed. For example:

Hydra is an amazing crew in my opinion, despite their bad rep. What they do is cunning and clever, and DOES NOT violate any rules, and people will protest against it. They are the definition of trusting the right people to your claims. They never go over the top, only destroy decorations IF they are worth it e.g. player heads, frames etc, and they are usually good sports, find their YouTube channel for example, and listen to their commentary, what they’re saying is not at all spiteful or mocking, they play nicely and even though I have never directly talked to them, they seem like nice people in actual fact, despite often seeming as though they are somewhat separate to the community and their unconventional ways of raiding.

Again, use common sense, be nice, be merciful by taking only things like ores, easily to replace gear or enchants, no food etc., also if you’d like to keep a good rep and if whom your raiding you may want to be able to work with at a later date.

Just make sure they have fun too, and that you don’t turn them almost into literal vegetables by raiding them.

Good luck.

no /back after PvP death

FINAL RULING on uses of /back

I agree it sucks to lose a siege and see all your hard earned supplies disappear. It was like clock work when i was working through the ranks that a soon as i got a handful of daimonds and decent amount of supplies some op folks would show up and destroy meand take my stuff. I never had the good sense to stay inside and would always go out and fight XD.

Of course the first few times I did like everyone does and re-spawned naked ran around trying to fight the looters at least for a couple mins anyway. Eventually i just set home in my new obby vault and it didnt matter anyway haha.

Thats the thing though, your supposed to stop them from winning the siege to keep them from taking your stuff.

Plus it just causes problems since when you re-spawn your naked so you cant do anything anyway. Even if you could get to some gear if you werent able to defeat them when you had the entirety of your defenses your not going to keep them from taking their prize :).

So you can only annoy someone and at best its an attempt to trigger a spam killing jail trip or keeps them tagged and they cant tp out. That causes all sorts of whining and chat wars and pinging staff for an issue that shouldnt be an issue.

In real life, well in the days of actual sieges you didnt respawn to annoy the victors of the war.

Not to mention the attitude changes when your the winner of a siege and its your time to take home the loot 😀 then its all “so and so wont leave us alone blah,blah,blah”

So thats why the loser needs to go to a safe room and the winner needs to just loot and leave the loser alone.

It would be awesome if the dev could implement something that triggered the loser to be tped to spawn or something. It would make more realistic.

I tried something similar to this before, however, it didn’t exactly do it for me. Might of been because I did it in some strange armour I made for the Iborians, but it looked quite bad if I do say so myself ‘:), but I would definitely look into this myself. I wouldn’t mind if someone just uploaded a bunch onto the internet, for people to use as an ‘outer’ stencil. I personally want a poncho sort of thing, not too sure how I’d do it off the top of my head, just I think Mesa desert and all it would look good.

Check the server IP you are using. I’m not really sure what the problem could be off the top of my head.
