Might be down for a little while, I'll post as soon as it's back up.

It's just a money thing. As I said, the community that funds this server has fallen on hard times, none of us have much money out of pocket to pay for things right this moment. The server will probably be back up by the end of the day, I just have to work out the payment stuff. I haven't bothered you guys about donation information because, as I've said in the OP, the server is fairly new and you guys hardly know me. If any of you are really, really interested in donating, shoot me a PM. Either way, the server will be back up ASAP.

Still working on this, all data is backed up locally, one way or another I'll have everything back up when I can. Sorry this is taking so long.
I WANNA JOIN Meat
once it's back up, could I be whitelisted please? IGN name is the same as here
[editline]4th January 2015[/editline]
I read no whitelist as whitelist, nevermind!
[QUOTE=dropdeadhd;46850867]I WANNA JOIN Meat[/QUOTE]
me too, can i join meat?!
Ok, our treasurer/bill person is back, and we're working on finding out why we had less money in the NFO account than we thought (someone probably disputed a past donation, some of which come from a gmod server). I'm talking to him now to figure out what we're doing. Thanks for all of your patience.

Alright, final bit of info. Our money guy is working on it, I'm not going to rush him, it will likely be back up some time tomorrow. In the mean time, I'm going to use this as an opportunity to upload a blank copy of the map to the server without ruining people's connections. We'll hopefully have a new dynmap of the wilderness available not long after the server itself is back up.
I'm going to get to bed, whenever the server does come back up, I may have some sort of sale at spawn to make up for the unexpected downtime, so stay tuned. Maybe cacti and jungle items :v:

Rothschild was created to help smaller factions and individual players on the road. As we grew we spread into horse breeding, enchanted tool making, wolf taming, large-scale animal production and many other types of specialties and made available a number of services to all players. If you wanted something chances are we could supply you one way or another. After Christmas and the new year I wasn't available very much and I came back to learn Rothschild is at war with some sort of anti-Rothschild coalition. Seems like some new players set their eyes on my faction, issue is they're not half bad at war. Now that Rothschild is in the position it currently is in we cannot produce items or services for ordinary players. I'm not completely sure who is in the coalition but I know MEAT is a major player. I'm willing to sit down and talk with the leaders of MEAT and other anti-Rothschild coalition leaders about possible peace. Without war we can begin production of items and services to players. You're not holding us back the most, but the average Joe. I hope you all make the right choice.
what set off this war was one member of rothschild attacking atlantean's base. It scared them so bad they've had to run off and live in a hugeass obsidian brick behind the mountains at spawn. We just joined in because they're our allies (and lars really wanted to kill someone and I was keeping him from killing newbie factions).
tbh the 'fights' against your faction have been some of the most boring I've ever had on a faction server. I mean on another server I spent like 2 hours trying to cannon my way into a base in the middle of the desert only for everyone in the faction to log off immediately the moment we got in - but at least we got in. Rothschild has so much claimed land and so little reason to come out and fight us that there really is no point even bothering any more.
once the server comes up I'll be willing to negotiate a peace treaty or whatever.
No updates yet. Sorry this is taking a while, our guy is going in the military fairly soon and is in and out of training camp, so it makes this process difficult. I'm going to try to get the payment stuff transferred to me so that this won't happen in the future.
Also, now that you guys have been playing a bit, what are your over-all thoughts? Are there any mods you guys would like to see added/removed? I like the [I]almost[/I] vanilla feel we've got going, but I'm always open to suggestions, especially now that we sort of have a community of frequent players.
give us back /me
it will make it more vanilla

Normally when you play a game/server that has a local chat there is almost always a global chat. I don't think global chat is a bad idea. Also, while we're talking about chat, I believe enemy chat(/fc e) is broke.
I will if enough people want it. I just feel like it was mostly used for arguing and dumb jokes and kinda stunk up the left side of the screen.

[QUOTE='[LOA] SonofBrim;46856140']I will if enough people want it. I just feel like it was mostly used for arguing and dumb jokes and kinda stunk up the left side of the screen.[/QUOTE]
I think having the left side of the screen stunk up is exactly what we need. If you're mining away for a long time or doing whatever it's nice to know other people are active even if they're 10km away.
yeah, global chat makes the server feel more active/alive, and should maybe help newer players join already existing factions instead of making their own 1 man faction
I mean, local chat is all well and good but newbies aren't aware of it. There's no warning in chat when you first join, there's nothing mentioning it at spawn (That I remember) so any newbie is gonna be pretty confused when they ask to join a faction but nobody replies.
local chat + having to pay to make a faction + no /spawn command makes starting out incredibly difficult for anyone fairly new to faction servers, or the server in general. How can any newbie hope to join a faction with the only way to contact the leaders being through /tell? ideally, there should be global chat. Just makes it a little bit easier for new players and makes the server feel a little bit more alive. Banter between factions is the best part of a faction server.
there's a few other things I'd like to see changed, though very minor things. A change to minimum power would be nice, currently the minimum is zero, and I have to kill someone 5 times to reach that point. There is almost certainly an alt or at least a 'dead' member who rarely plays in each faction, who exists just so that they have basically free, unclaimable land. So long as there's one alt in the faction on 10 power, that's 10 chunks the faction can [i]never lose[/i]. Of course, the other solution is to ban alts, but that's just silly. Make the minimum a negative number, bump up the rate of power loss and you'll see more fruitful battles.
all the other aspects of the server (admin interaction, the map itself (although not having any jungle biome is a damn shame), mcmmo, all other plugins) I'm perfectly fine with. Especially that one that lets you have a chance to decapitate players and mobs, that's a nice one.
this is way too much text for a faction server
tl;dr global chat pls, negative power pls, teleports pls, everything else A+
I'll do everything but teleports. Teleports completely kill the point of subways/roads. I understand where you're coming from, but until the map is over 10k blocks in radius, I'm not going to add teleportation. With that in mind, if you are working on a public subway/road, let me know, because I will supply lighting and worldguard protection (build only) to those.
With the other things, I'll add global chat (mutable), and negative power. Not sure why negative power was disabled to begin with.
i can't connect :(
[QUOTE=geogzm;46856534]i can't connect :([/QUOTE]
server is down atm
Alright, when the server does come back up, here are the changes made. Global chat is enabled, but can be muted. I've still got /me disabled, as that doesn't always mute properly. The max power for a player is 10, minimum is -10, power lost on death is now 2.5.

If, for whatever reason, the server is not up by Tuesday, I'll force up a new one with the same data. Like I've said, I am sorry this happened, this has happened [i]once[/i] before since I've been with this community, and I've been with it for about 3 years. It's getting resolved, but the guy who can resolve it is in a terrible spot right now, so there's nothing more I can do right now besides tweak settings based on all of your recommendations. All of these changes will go into effect as soon as the server comes back up, whether or not I'm available the moment it does.
Theres no need for /me if we have global chat, its nice for the server to come back
Alright folks, tomorrow is the day. If the server does not come back up with DSB tomorrow morning, it's going to come up Wednesday with a different IP without DSB :v:
I know that you guys know these things happen (I've never played on a Minecraft server that didn't experience downtime for one reason or another), but I do want to make this up to you guys. So, I'm going to talk to the others at Wehrmacht, and we're going to sell some special items at spawn after this is all resolved. Special, unique, sometimes impossible items. Hopefully it'll be entertaining at the least.
[editline]years[/editline]
Server should be coming up tonight, if something goes wrong and I have to upload the map backup from 3 days ago, it'll be up tomorrow (because my upload speed is a blazing 1Mb/s).
12 here although i pay for some bomb internets.
could you guys sell beacons or is that a no no
Server's up. Selling of items at spawn will begin tomorrow night.
Is LWC supposed to be available to us? doesn't that kinda defeat the point of having faction-claimed land?

NOOO WHY MUST YOU BRING THIS UP D: , I was using this to my advantage to keep pesky faction members out of my room :(
It only works if you are in a faction on faction protected land. It should only protect doors. Let me know if this is not the case, because I'll have to fix it then.

That's how it works, but if another faction were to claim the land, would existing LWC protections disappear?

That's how it's configured. You never know with minecraft sometimes though :v:
