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

I know, it's like talking to brick walls lol. I'm pretty sure i had far more online time than laura did on the server so it's not like you can use online time as a reason. Pretty much just handing out admin to your friends etc so they have creative mode (that's the only possible explanation since laura's already stated that some admins don't want to deal with people but just want to build)

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.

my point is that almost all the active users have creative mode when it's supposed to be a survival server

[Firehorse]

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.

You have problems 24/7? I had no idea that you had issues arising with the server when nobody is online. I've been on many a time around 2-4am and nobody else is ever online at those times. This server is effectively exclusive to a UK playerbase, with possibly one odd exception from Australia or the USA. Are you suggesting that you need an admin on to babysit a single user?

How can I realise that I am in the wrong when I do not believe I am in the wrong. You wiped a 5/6 month old map without so much as a moment's notice. End of story.

[Cerys]

I personally think it would be better as a creative server, and if you don't want creative then you should be able to choose to change to survival.

Just getting my opinion out there

And Laura, I only want it day because there's scary things at night ;_;

Yeah i've had the game for like 3 months, and what? I played like 12 hours a day sometimes, and i actually talked to people regularly and tried to help at every point along the way; still do. That's why I was offered admin. And FYI, I PAID for creative mode. Donated to the running of the server. Nothing to do with being friends seeing as I'd never spoken to Adam before joining the server, in actual fact, I'd never really spoken to ANY of the players. So yeah. Kinda disproved your theory there..

That is a fact.

You are wrong when you said you'd lost everything you (and other people) had worked for.

all of the active users apart from admins have creative right

OH HANG ON only 1 of them does

there are 6 people i can think of from the top of my head who are normal, survival regulars.

[iAdam]

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

Not particularly, the tools are an aid. All of the admins have at some point built a big creation or several good ones, hence part of the reason for being given admin.

Give everybody creative mode then...

Majority of the users don't have creative so no.

No they don't, I'll go and get statistics right now if you want.

It's not wiped though, it's still right there waiting for all your crap to be copied over but you refuse to do it because it'll hurt your pride because you initially complained about losing all that stuff which just isn't true.

[xxMATTGxx]

The only person who I know who isn't an admin that can switch to creative is Kieran. Everyone else has normal permissions from what I am aware of. I don't really need to go into the reasons why I have admin as it seems most of you don't mind me having it but whatever.

I've also donated to the server? I've also spent many hours per day/ for many months playing it. Anyway, idc about whose admin, just saying that there's far too many for the ratio of regular players when it's meant to be survival mode not creative

Never said you didn't. I'm just defending myself against the allegations I got admin purely on the fact I'm friends with Adam.

And for someone who doesn't care about who's admin you're doing a pretty good job of pretending to be someone who does... and that 'ratio' you're making up is based on false figures.

Right okay then, here's an experiment. The only people allowed to use admin commands such as teleporting/time/weather etc. are now me and Matt. See how people like it.

Get the statistics then.

If you're making a survival server, don't have 6-7 people flying about in creative mode whilst the rest of us have to spend hours to accomplish half the work..

THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE OTHERS HAVING ADMIN? do you not see the flaw with that logic?
