[QUOTE=Fribbler;50107377]So having entire knowledge on a persons client and being able to share that with a mod to disprove his case entirely instead suggesting it was a result of server lag isnt evidence? I fail to see how it isnt?[/QUOTE]
We can't go off of just words of anyone, especially not those of a friend of the accused, fribbler... A picture or a link to the modpack could've done good, but it's not like he couldn't have just added more to it.
Both of you are literally grasping for straws right now. You've degraded the thread into nothing more than a childish argument.

That's something Overachiever dealt with, of course server lag would be the obvious thing to consider and im sure he considered it before banning him
[QUOTE=ColdWave;50107378]OH yeah, Draks old self made dupe glitch he didn't fix for a day because he put an untested plugin in and went to bed lmao. All duped items from that were at Aduro and in Salts church which you rightfully wiped, I know Rybo and Valcrest did abuse that glitch as heavily as us, Jaybe could tell you the same thing. ALL of Valcrests items are still out there hidden.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, i think i remember jaybe telling doyle and i about it, he even told us where to look but we thought it was basically a wild goose chase because we couldnt find anything... idk

Or just trying to expose the pure power hunger of the mods on this server and trying to make it clear Drakortha hasnt changed from who he was on Orrostar. Seems its working since half the player base has quit thus far.
You can kick and scream all you want, Coldwave, but I don't understand why. You're absolutely not getting unbanned early. If your faction isn't cheating they've nothing further to worry about.
I'm not sure why I have to repeat this to make you understand it, but a copious amount of loot in that base was the result of your x-raying, you lost only about a third of it according to your faction mates at the time, it wasn't that harsh of an attack on your loot, hidden stashes aside. Your 'roleplay' escape plan seemed to work well, and was obviously a functional mechanic.
Now that you're not a part of their faction, and you swear you're the only cheating member (I believe you on this) there's nothing further for your friends to worry about.
You don't get caught cheating if you're not cheating. Dozens of players play the server daily with no problem.
The 'evidence' you propose is either non-existant or easily fabricated. I don't care about word of mouth from a cheater's factionmate when we've already caught them cheating several times, beginning [I]years ago.[/I]
Enough of this. It is absolutely ridiculous. You're upset that you got caught cheating. Rifts are something that happens to nearly every player that's been on the server for more than a few months, see Martino's post...
[B]See you in June, Coldwave.[/B]

This is my last post, i gtg, but i just want to clarify some of the parts that i dont think you understand what drak meant
[B][04/09/2016 10:44:00 PM] Drakortha: i dislike inner circles very much[/B]
You're taking the quote a bit out of context, he was talking about inner circles within the realm of moderators, not player factions. He doesn't want hierarchy within the moderators (a la high ordinator/vs low ordinator), he has said this to us so I know I'm not putting words in his mouth here
[B][04/09/2016 10:45:03 PM] Drakortha: the players in that faction were banned over and over again[/B]
He's probably thinking about how, when looking in the moderator chat, he would often see things like "banned janpan from Valkyria, banned Coldwave from Valkyria, banned milba from Valkyria, etc" Yeah, 2/3 of these are just you on dif accounts but he is a busy guy so prob just catches glimpses of what goes on in the mod chat and so when you see "X banned from Valkyria" several times ... I wouldn't blame him for what he said here
[B][04/09/2016 11:01:13 PM] Drakortha: the chests were wiped before the rift came[/B]
Here he is referring to certain hidden chests at bedrock level, not the chests in your storage which is what I believe youre talking about in your post
anyways gtg

[QUOTE=ColdWave;50107578]I'm not upset that I was caught, I'm admitting everything to you. I've lost 30 player bases and bases where people built scale replica's of IRL monuments to griefers, I'm UPSET that it was taken out on my friends because of blind stupidity and someone who can't communicate at all.[/QUOTE]
Then, please, do us all a favour and take this as a lesson to never cheat again on the server.

Fallen, the only mods at the moment that have been moderators in the past are me and Tidgemo during the age of continents,
Tidgemo has been mostly absent during these current events, so he's not to blame for anything, so this sounds like a reference to me?
So please explain how I am 'getting TAW into the same old messes' when all I am doing is moderating a server, finding players who cheat, and banning them quite efficiently for the most part, like the other mods.
It is extremely rare that anybody has any issues with me as a player or as a moderator, so this is interesting. It just seems like the same old words passed on and people taking it as fact, or more likely that you have no idea what you're talking about and are just saying words. That's fine too, just don't blame the only people ridding the server of the cheaters you claim to hate.
[QUOTE=thefallenone;50107895]As for the moderators honestly from the time i've been here until now its been the same people being mods and getting TAW into the SAME messes only in different ages. Either A. Drak needs to just be the sole mod or B. he finds other people BESIDES the ones who already have been mods to be mods. Figure how a way to determine if someones worthy or not just please do NOT make the same people mods. Some of em weren't bad but it was the others that kept ruining it for the bunch.[/QUOTE]
The mods aren't the problem. I rather liked the mods during both of my adventures in TAW; Meal and Daniel in particular as they're the ones I had the most interaction with.
The inability for the community to really interact or talk with Drakortha is the problem.
Let me quote from our skype log:
[12:25:04 AM] Soner: Well, you're speaking in vague terms, and not directly addressing our concerns. This a reflection of the problem we've been having, with a lack of information, and the cause of our fears.
[B][U]If we continue to be left in the dark, that means turning to rumors for some sense of security. Wrongful ideas will run rampant, we'll probably make many mistakes, and the server will be in further disarray.[/U][/B]
All of this will make even more problems for you, given there's currently 2 staff members, and there's no telling when either of you will be on. You'll be stuck resolving tangled webs of lies that exist in the absence of simple statements you could have been making.
Furthermore, [B][U]the distance you're creating means people are less likely to address their grievances in a constructive manner, since they feel that you're not approachable.[/U][/B] For a healthy server where everyone is invested, the administrator has to be on good speaking terms with his community.
[B][U]Essentially, what we want is to be involved. We want to have fair and specific rulings on all important matters, so that being involved is easier. We want to be able to talk with you, give you our ideas, hear yours, and make the server a better place.[/U][/B]
[12:26:16 AM | Edited 12:26:45 AM] Soner: When you brush people off and tell them to "have faith", you're denying them agency, and asserting that they don't need or deserve to know your plans.
[12:28:07 AM] Soner: I know you don't owe us anything, it is your server, but people can only help if you offer them an opportunity. If you think we don't contribute much, and we're lucky to have the opportunity to even be on the server, then you don't have to tell us anything. But if you think we could do something more, then we have to work together
This was our problem with the community. There's no clear and concise rules on PVP and when we came to ask him questions we were held at arms length, never given a real straight answer on anything we asked. Told to do '/rules' but those rules are vague as fuck and can be interpreted in any number of ways. We wanted to be actively involved in making the community a better place, but when we asked--hell, pleaded--we were ignored. I didn't see the point, after that. It's his server, and if that's how he chooses to run it, that's fine by me; I simply won't be a part of it.
I mean, asking for a little accommodation in this sense wasn't out of line, was it?
Server could probably use an entity cull, there's skeleton horses literally everywhere.
Don't forget everyone - Lockette is being removed from TAW in just 2 days on April 16th. Lockette will still be functional on The New World.
Do not play on this server until Drakortha fixes the Moderator problem. I was banned today by Mod Meal for "griefing" a build in my city. My faction has owned the city since 4/9/2016 after taking it from it's previous owner Vami.
Vami eventually rejoined the server and joined our faction, however on 4/25/2016 he quit the server again destroying all of the faction chests and all of our supplies. Let me say there again he QUIT
In need of building supplies we decided to tear down the old builds in the city which fully belongs to us to build a new capitol building. Today Mod Meal decides that I am not allowed to tear down builds in my factions city even though all the builds in that city belong to us.
The original owner of the city had quit therefore forfeiting all rights to any builds he had in the city. And even if he was still playing The Axis has every right to remove whatever building we want because we conquered the city.
TLDR, Take city, owner quits, owner rejoins, quits again breaking all chests, get banned by corrupt mod from corrupt mod faction oOo for removing builds in city that my faction owns.

In need of building supplies[/QUOTE]
I can spot you a few dc's of stone, just let me know when you'll be unbanned.
let me preface this post by saying i dont know whether or not vildeer still has their worldguard up, but that for the better part of the last year it was not up...
anyways, your whole post is relying on this idea that you can not grief something that you "own" (and you define ownership here as something that you've claimed)...i don't really buy into this
if you type /rules, the first rule says pretty plainly, "do not grief the landscape or player builds" and due to the nature of factions on the server the only builds that it's possible to grief are ones that are either (1)in the wilderness or (2)in your own claim...so the fact that you've claimed something shouldn't absolve you from the rule...
i think the point is more easier to understand w/ a hypothetical; miniaturelimo has spent the last couple of years renovating the cities in Vildeer and due to the size of the project he leaves most of it unclaimed and has occasionally relied on a worldguard to protect the builds... according to your line of thinking, any player could waltz in here, claim some houses in a city and then completely remove them because, as you would say, "they have every right to remove whatever buildings they want because they conquered the city"
the rule is pretty simple in that it says "do not grief landscape or player builds" it doesn't leave much room to play these semantics games
also, the stuff about vami is pretty irrelevant, the guy says he "quits" all the time and then shows back up a few weeks later, even in your post you mention him "quitting" and then returning only to "quit" again...he has done this like 5 times
Don't bother Ulriik, Jake doesn't build, all he does it attack people and treat them like slave labor.
They're in the process of tearing down his church because they're mad at Vami for destroying their chests after they repeatedly bullied him for weeks when all he wanted to do was build.
They treated him like dirt and he eventually got fed up with it, they have no claim to the city's structures anyways, Vami was the only one who contributed to building it, that they demolished his church is just further proof that they have no respect for the work he put into the city they've (Faction) "claimed" as their own.
Griefing is against the rules, He deserved the ban.
[QUOTE=soulharvester;50247995]Don't bother
[/QUOTE]
I do what I want m80, thnx tho. If somebody wants to build then they should be able to. I'm not trying to defend Jake at all I just offered materials. I could care less about bans on the server, and there's a good chance the mods/drak have already let him back on. :v:
So is the server dead? It's been down for the past two days now.
Bring it back 1.10 hype
Drakortha where are you
[I]The continents are now re-opened for exploration & settlement. This includes Dagon Fel, Sadrith Mora, Bal Fel, Terth Valhalla, Nautilus Taber, and Orrostar.[/I]

How do we access the old continents? Haven't been able to find them
Is there still a dynmap? Might be handy
Yaaaaaaas

Just a heads up, you can't build or edit terrain on Orrostar and likely the onther continents, but I haven't checked them yet. Hopefully this gets fixed soon! -Cave
Okay just want to make some things clear.
The permissions on Orrostar are fixed. Anyone can build there or repair old builds. The continents also have full permissions except for Dagon Fel, which remains world guarded as it's the most historic.
The long term plan is an Age of Continents 2, so this could mean Port Orange as spawn. So maybe use this time to establish a base or settlement on one of the continents so when AOC2 hits, you'll already be established there. Remember; during age of continents, the mainland is closed off.
Orrostar will likely be closed during the new age so I suggest not choosing it as your new home!
There's some more information about it on the blog;
