So now you're just choosing to ignore me even though I've replied to every query you've had and given solutions to the non existent problems that you've highlighted. Either you accept them and continue as normal as everyone has done or throw all that work from the last map away and never come back. It really doesn't bother me either way.

There are very few members who have creative mode. AFAIK it's only the admins (with reason, ofc) and maybe 2 other people? Because they are HELPING us with our big structures. People ask daily for creative mode, but we never give it out. Don't make it out to be some elitist society, as donators or friendly helpers are the only ones with creative mode. Hell @Intricat; wasn't even given creative when I first asked him to help me with spawn!!!

What gives someone the right to be consulted on a game they haven't played on for MONTHS on end?

I do agree with him about it being ridiculous with so many people with creative. The ratio of admins to normal players is pretty silly and makes it somewhat unfair for those without admin. I think it should've been kept to just @xxMATTGxx; and adam with admin, realistically why do we need so many? just silly and unfair on those who have to play survival...

We have so many because I like at least one to be on at any one time. You weren't complaining earlier when you wanted day and sun constantly. Wouldn't happen if it was just me and Matt. The people who are admins are so because they were nice people, built well and I trust to be admins. Most of them have even donated to the running costs a few times too or have hosted servers in the past. Some people get special treatment on my server and that's just the way it is. Be cool and build well and you'll get the treatment too. I never said it was a democracy.

Only 1 active player has creative mode (without buying donator). And he's helping Matt with his big building, which can't really be achieved with normal mode.

In answer to the second part, a lot of the time you need more than 1 admin online, as admins do tend to build bigger buildings. A lot of the time, me and Matt are online together, and we take it in turns answering user's requests for teleports or help or something, as if there was only 1 online then it'd never get done. It's not realistic to have 2 people with the power as quite frankly, you need more than that. There are only 6 admins (I think), and only 3 of us have really been playing recently. There are usually more normal players, or equal amounts anyway. Besides like I said earlier, some admins want to build and not deal with the players sometimes, which is why you need multiple. We were given admin due to our help and friendliness within the server, not on favouritism or w/e.

Me wanting it day or not is irrelevent lol because it was matt and you who were doing it. Why does @Skynus; need admin other than being your friend? no point having a server where over half the population have creative mode and then having a couple without it. Laura's said she's only really on when matt is, so why do they both need it? 6-7 mods is literally overkill for the amount of users we have, and when it's supposed to be a survival server it's extremely unfair to those of us without creative.

Then they shouldn't have admin.

This.

Also be realistic here, I'm not complaining about being offered my creations nor am I complaining about being offered to get my creations. It's this rediculous way you guys think you can shun and talk down to me simply because I aired my opinions.
Laura how can you start using time not played as an argument for my opinion not counting? If you want to go by that logic then why should your opinion count for anything? You only started playing this game less than half a year ago yourself. As for me being away for months, I did log in a few times but there was nobody else around which is why I left a short while after.

If you took somebody from their home and dropped them somewhere distant and unfamiliar, do you think letting them take their house with them would make them happy about it?

So do you have a personal vendetta against me or something?

You can't possibly expect admins to deal with peoples problems 24/7, it's unfair to them and seeing as you're so keen on everything being fair than you have to cut them some slack. Skynus isn't as active as he normally would be right now but will be soon I'm sure. They're not always on together and as Laura explained, they take it in turns to deal with any issues. I never changed the day/weather earlier btw, Matt only did a few times from what I can see in the server log, I was AFK for most of the time you were on. I'd much rather there be an excess of admins than a lack of.

I for one am talking down to you because you aired opinions on things that you knew nothing of at the time and then when you realised you were wrong you just ignored us trying to reason with you. Read the thread back and see your comments spiral into crap because you realised that actually you don't have an argument. You've just highlighted the issue, no one was online. Map reset fixed it job done. It's a game not real life, but by the same logic, if you could build a house in a day do you really think that person would be bothered about taking their house in the first place?


I do a bit because I've done everything I possibly could to ease the map transition and you've just complained about it. Can't please you at all.

Admins tend to do bigger buildings because they have the tools which give them the ability to do so, no other reason.

Give everybody creative mode then...

Well only admins can make it day, and a lot of the time over the last few days me and Matt have been the active admins, making it day all the time for a certain someone (cough cough @:Cerys; cough cough ) and no offence to Adam: we're the ones online a lot of the time (not afk I mean) - end of the day Adam has a job to do, which is his first priority. The other admins, well that's something only Adam can decide on really. Tom used to be on a lot helping people - hell he pretty much built my treehouse for me when I first joined (this is before I paid for donator or got given admin). And I NEVER said that I'm only on when Matt is, I said we're both on at the same time. Working on different projects, on different sides of the world. Yeah we help each other out (hello, have you seen the size of the buildings we're making - mine was on top priority too, being spawn and everything), but most of the time we're doing different things. And a lot of the time we go on when the other one is out/busy with other things.

Besides there's NEVER 1 user online and 6 admins. Most of the time there's 3 or 4 users and 1 or 2 admins (max. 3). So that argument is completely moot. If you only had 1 admin then they'd only be online for say, 2 hours a day. This way we've got most of the hours in the day covered!! I don't see how it's unfair at all mind you, seeing as we're hardly killing you all the time; we're HELPING you.

Your point being? I realise that, but my point was that admins don't always respond to users BECAUSE of the fact they're building.
