The staff who work their way up to becoming mods and admins, who have shown to Crafty himself that they are respectful enough in their own ways to be considered authority, have to EARN your respect too? Honey, if that was how the world worked, nothing would get done. They can't go around to each player individually and talk to them and interact with them until you think they deserve respect.
Here are the facts that you cannot deny.

1. They hold a position of authority over you as being a staff rank.
2. Authority is meant to be listened to (like how you should do what a cop tells you to do, what your drill sergeant tells you to do, what your captain tells you to do, and any other situation where there is someone who was given authority telling you to do something)
3. You are not staff
4. You have no power over others in the sense of authority here
5. You, being someone with no authority, should listen to staff, people with authority

Respect your elders and the people over you.

and added,
6. It is proven you do in fact need evidence to prove a fact, otherwise it will only be opinion

And if admin decide to be a little rude every once in a while, get over it. They are still in a position over you and you should respect them for their position, not because you find them rude or nice.

Just did a 64 db drop party at spawn XD

It really was fun :D biggest group of people I've ever explored with in the wild

Not playing solo anymore hopefully. And building to the sky with my new friends :)
And hopefully one of the first to win parkour armor again, if that remains a thing

@Captain_Mitchell What? That's lame. Using votes on warps. I'll run out of votes in no time.

You're vip+ still arent you? or at least still vip. You get them free, or at least one free, and its 4 votes a day, so that should be enough, especially if you add up on votes over the course of a few days.

Rip 2Chill's 150 million ticks :P

I figured I'd show off my base. I did most of the work solo, but my basemate helped with the lighthouse and the little cottage. I'd wanted to show it for a while, just never got around to it. But here it is. A lot of stuff never got finished, like the statues, and a lot of stuff isn't shown cause it would have taken too long to visit everything. And if you're wondering, the noteblocks play Ode to Joy. :)
Sorry for the poor quality. First time using recording software.

Dedicated to Thomas the Chicken. He will be missed.

I'd love to participate too... but I know for a fact I'll lose. XD I have a routine when I start fresh that after five minutes of gathering materials and getting started, a creeper always sneaks up behind me and blows me up. Every single time this never fails to happen, even when I know about it.

I'd help with this

Hope everyone is having a great day. I know a lot of upset has been going on since the announcement of the reset and even before that. But we're all part of the community here and everyone deserves a little happiness right now. So just wanted to say, Happy Thanksgiving! and I hope you all have a nice rest of the day. Even to the many people that do not celebrate it, everyone here is absolutely awesome and deserve to know that. Thank you to staff for everything you guys do. Thank you to all my new friends. And thank you to the community as a whole. If there's one thing I can be thankful for today, it's having met all of you guys. Have a wonderful rest of the day and I hope you all get to stuff yourselves with turkey. :)
