Pewdie n' Friends

ok i see i have negative rep now on these forums judge me how you will
but for now im going to post my progress here
and tell you the history of my experience on the pewdiepie.net minecraft server

so that you can get the true image of me and my intentions




[The Beginning & How i Started]

Early june i found out about this server through a friend, what made me stick to this server is the grief protection
(basic overview of grief prevention: you can claim land or "blocks" that can only be manipulated by you, you get more "blocks" the longer you play on the server)
it was the first time ive ever heard of this and i became hooked when i found out the capabilities of this plugin

so... as anyone would, i went out far looking for lush lands to found my home
found a cool mountain that i could carve up into a multiplatform minecart system branching out in many directions, but that went on hold as i lacked resources
people were starving and asking for food, my small melon farm i crudely made easily fed me and many others who asked for food

but it became overwhelming, it took too much of my time to go out and give people food, we needed a public farm. But that would be impossible without fear of grief
and securing the land wouldn't make it public...




[The Public Watermelon Farm]

I struggled for a solution to this probelm, i searched for hours
until i came across a construction someone made of an automatic watermelon farm
of course there were different construction schematics, some required huge amounts of land which i couldn't claim
(the claim area costs on the X and Z axis but not the Y you could build as high as you want)
so i found a design that would work vertically and i tweaked it to fit inside the small claim area i had
it looked to be the perfect answer to all our hunger problems

thus started: Krahfty's public automatic Watermelon farm

(the way it worked with grief prevention is that, grief prevention allows outsiders who dont have ownership to the land
able to open wooden doors and activate pressure plates, and the pressure plate was the key for people to use the farm publically
without giving rights to the land)
(so someone would come to my farm stand on the pressure plate which would activate the redstone pistons that spiralled all the way to the top,
and the melons would be pushed into the water stream which would push it down to the person stood on the pressure plate)

It took about a day to plan and build foundations and get resources, then another 2 days to build.
here's some screenshots of the build in progress:

*need to get good finished image*

my farm got alot of fame and attention for a while lol
even pewdiepie's survival game stream couldnt escape my melon farm,
with the bounty of melons around people were litterally throwing them around





[The Market]

but around a week ago (cant remember dates), mkerix decided to add a plugin called
chestshops, w0lf4ever made me realise that the public watermelon farm would ruin business
for people wanting to sell food, so i had to shut it down but keep it for private use,
people were pissed for a while but i sold melons pretty cheap, so they didnt complain much...

at first it seemed no one knew about the addition of chestshops, until i started selling melons, and i decided to plan out a construct of a market.
And because my melon farm was intentionally close to spawn all i had to do was expand to get closer to the spawn.
as i was claiming extra ground and marking the size of the market, w0lf4ever wanted to make a market of his own next to mine.
I never felt like we would be in competition, as i didnt feel i would want to sell every resource only the ones i had an abundance of.
So we agreed that i take the left side and he take the right.

It took me a while to figure out the mechanics behind chestshops. As i was learning, i wrote the instructions on a board to the entrance
so that people could understand how to use the markets when they came to them,
heres a screenshot from around that time: (also the finished watermelon farm is in the background)

but alot of people walked right into the market without reading and spluttered into chat asking how to buy stuff...
during this time w0lf4ever had almost finished building his market and had alot more to sell than
i did, which i wasnt too bothered about, he was selling iron and dirt etc... which i didnt want to sell i needed those resources myself

currently, im still planning out my market bit by bit, adding more and more items to sell, planning and building my market day by day

but now im litterally going to sell all items, ill dedicate myself to get people to help gather resources
that i can buy from them and put them in my shop so that they are available for every player to buy



I have missed out alot of history that i didnt think was needed, like my building of cobblestone generator factory (seen on the left of teh first screenshot),
tree farm, longest minecart track claim area, exploration of other peoples caves and finding diamonds, losing diamond equipment,
building of my Automatic Skeleton XP Farm, Automatic Sugar Cane Farm, Automatic Tree farm experiments, Automatic Blaze farm experiments
and many more things i havent listed.

also it would be cool if other people told their stories on the server



i really like this server, not so much some of the players that mosey on by, but i have some dedicated helpers and loyal friends that
will help me gather resources to continue my work on this market

[list of people will be here still editing]

[still editing this post for mistakes or missed information + adding pictures]

[Reserved for updates]

Ok now that the history is history, i'll move onto current updates, my plans/goals
ill try and post everyday, and log anything major or interesting ive done on the server
and provide screenshots when if remember to

22nd June 2012:


its funny because some people come on the server and think im an admin because ive claimed and protected alot of the land around the spawn and im managing and building this huge market
and im probably on the server more than the admin and the mods, or anyone to be frank. Thats what happens when you have alot of free time.

MINECRAFT
SERIOUS BUSINESS

Quoted from "PPP | FlameX"

Indeed it is , It is way more important then real life stuff.

You are mocking my hard work on this server, GTFO my thread

Quoted

Yeah, imma gonna destroy your house wall so i can expand my shop irl.
Totally not gonna ask you when im doing it.

And again mocking my earlier argument in a previous thread, you think im fucking stupid?

Quoted

THATS AGAINST THE LAW SINCE YOU NEED A PERMIT AND PERMISSION FOR THAWT. :V *caps rage ftw*

If you've got nothing useful to contribute then don't bother replying in any of my threads

marcusmo17 are you going to deal with this? because i dont know how long i can go without giving a lobotomy to these guys, and letting a few bombs drop.

Quoted from "Br00tal"

Atleast im pretty thankful that the melonmachine was free during the community event.
Thats the good thing imo :3

Nao, stop the rage :3

sorry but im not going to just forget your snide remarks, and the melon machine wasnt even intended for the community event, it was for the actual PLAYERS
not the people joining the server just to play with pewdiepie that one day, the server has never been that full, only about 5% stuck around after that event
and a few days later we had aload of people joining and asking "IS PEW HERE OMG OMG OMG" once he got the truth that pew never plays on this server, he disconnected.

Its a shame really because its a well maintained server, regularly updated and new plugins almost every week or so, but we do have select players that appreciate that, myself included.
so show some respect of the hard work of others, your not only insulting me, but the rest of the people who work hard on the server, including mkerix.

Quoted from "marcusmo17"

I think this whole situation is being taken way too far and too many feelings are being hurt in the process. This minecraft server is meant to be a fun interaction amongst bros.

From now on, any more posts that can be seen as offensive or rude regarding anything in the past having to do with the minecraft server will be dealt with by me.

Krahfty, I have already warned you about cussing. You are not handling this situation how I would like to see, and you may even be fueling your own fire. Deal with this in a more mature manner and you'll be making things easier on yourself.

I don't wanna have to play babysitter for you guys, but if it comes down to it I will.

im sorry but if someone gives out snide remarks, im going to call them out!
I repressed taking the matters in my own hands it could have gotten alot worse, believe me.
but instead i called you out to sort this immaturity and yet thats still not good enough for you? you expect me to be lenient to this snide childish banter?
or is that perfectly acceptable around here? can i give some sly esoteric digs at people? i would think not.

They are the ones waking up the sleeping dog, so they should expect a bite

Quoted from "Xebaz"

MINECRAFT IS SRS BSNS

What can i say, i expected more from you Xebaz... heh... isnt it pretty ironic that you are a brony?
arent they taught to give kindness and trust and that other bullshit?

obviously your just jumping on the band wagon
with that aside



are you not a temporary admin? shouldnt you be giving a good image to yourself and the site?
you should show some sort of maturity and sence of respect to be given that position

not only that but you are managing the minecraft server temporarily, and to be honest im not comfortable with that

a community is only as good as its people
and its people is only as good as its leader

and i know when i don't feel appreciated, so with that said... i quit...



i know a few people would be sad to see me go
but if you really want to keep in contact add me on skype
same username as here

All my hard work
Land permmissions
Chest permissions
Acess permissions
will be given to:

W0lf4ever: as we started the markets together, he will know how to manage my shop and hopefully get my market
finished quicker than i did, good luck with that mate.

&

Luminaure X: for the MOST dedicated work and help throughout building my market, he never aked to be payed
he just gave resources out of the good of his heart, without this help i would be weeks behind on the project
and you can too manage the market and build if you like



heres an addition to the list of all the other helpers that aided the construction of my market:

mega_hyp3rrr_808: he pretty much single handedly supplied all the wood needed for the basement of the market
pppaaa: supplied me alot of wood, coal, wool, dyes, anything i needed he would help with
Danne1124: havent seen much of him recently but he helped alot at the beggining supplying me wood and coal

im really sorry if i forgot anyone, i really did appreciate all the resources people gave me to help out, and i cant thank you enough



and finally i would like to thank mKeRix, for an enjoyable month on his server
i would have hoped to get to know you a little more on Teamspeak, alas it was never to be... heh

i really hope the server it flourishes, but with the amount of trash that blows though that will be difficult
Good Luck!

So say goodnight to the bad guy

heres a video that sums up my exit: (watch it from 1:26 to 2:52)
