Thank you for the apology for the tiny bit at the end of unpleasant behaviour in chat. However the reason for your ban was cumulative from the combination of this and the rudeness when i joined.

Again we will start with this.

Commander Cat comes on and tells you all to behave. You all know full well you are out of order because this comes next.

[20:54:26] [Server thread/INFO]: <[VIP] TheProph3tx> CommanderCat

CommanderCat is trying to be nice about it but you two just cant behave yourselves can you?

After this the pair of you carry on with being nuisances.

This is followed by a long session of you harrassing CommanderCat over the lavacast.

Then you and VIP go on about the tping out of the arena.

So yeah you were both being disrespectful of staff and other players.

At which point I come in.

So when you are prepared to make a proper ban appeal, we'll set a time on it.

So lets start with this:

CommanderCat is trying to be nice about it but you two just cant behave yourselves can you?

After this the pair of you carry on with being nuisances.

The we have Outshotz harrassing CommanderCat over the lavacast.

You join in over being told to mute each other and so it goes on. Mostly outshotz next.

But then you get in a dig about F3 and pie charts.

Then you and outshotz go on about the tping out of the arena.

So yeah you were both being disrespectful of staff and other players.

At which point I come in.

So when you are prepared to make a proper ban appeal, we'll set a time on it.

A big thank you to @Dennari43 for all her hard work on this fantastic build.

Enjoy it everyone.

Thank your for your appeal.

Your ban time will be set at 3 days from when you were banned, since you had been warned. Should there be any repeats the next ban will be longer.

For outshotz

The reason for your ban was:
"bringing you and your friends personal vendetta onto the discord server".
Repeating those accusations as part of your ban appeal nullifies this ban appeal. I suggest you delete the above and try again quoting a reason similar to that which I have just given.

So for everyone's benefit:

Minecraft is a fun block game. People come on the server to relax from the real world. All our staff do their jobs voluntarily. Bringing your personal animosity onto any of the three server platforms is making our job very difficult and unnecessarily stressful. I once again repeat:

You do not have to like all the players on the server but in chat, on discord and on this forum, you need to behave like decent members of the human race.

Thank you

I propose that players are able to use the arenas without fear of some one uninvited joining the fight.

Just because in the past, in the original PVP arena, anyone could join at anytime, there seems to be a belief out there by some players that they have a god given right to do so just because we allow pvp and this false assumption is at the root of the question posed by SharpSerac.

If you go to a dedicated pvp server you get sent as a group to an arena for a fight and while you fight no one else can join. In the same way as you do egg wars or bed wars or any other similar game.

This could be done by those in the lobby for an arena being transported as a group when the sign is clicked and no further tps in until the arena is empty, or the existing players click on an accept.

It is extremely tiresome for those of us that are noobs, that we cant have a fight with out some full netherite person loaded with totems butting in. It would mean you could go to an arena and say have a punch only fight, or a iron only gear fight. Whatever rules you choose.

I also propose that we have a PVP ladder, this would also require that it is possible to have an unintertupted fight.

When Crafty gets round to it. He has a full time job!

As far as Im concerned, Litematica will be kept under review. It is fundamentally a tool the builders enjoy. I will have a look at how easily it can be abused. It was probably the most debated mod request. I dont like it being available myself as it allows copying our builds off the server but respected the collective decision.

Litematica is actually pretty tedious to use. Far from intuitive. I do use it on admin creative builds, and copying competition entries. But I'm sure some of you are quicker at it than me.

Another toxic post from someone who doesn't play on the server.

@VIP653

I quote from what ThePhoenix said

"Just has the ingame clock to the bottom right of screen so don't have to do time? in chat constantly"

I actually prompted the existence of .time command years ago by a request for dawn and dusk notifications which was a useful feature I saw on another server and implemented on mine. Crafty came back with .time. However using that does get spammy and i dont like to use it. Whereas a simple dawn and dusk tells you when you can go back up from mining.

This is a trivial mod of no harm at all.
