The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - Summer 2024 NEW SERVER!

[InflatablePie]

I'm apparently somewhere near KoC's tower. There's flowing lava and shit near it.

[tanstalas]

Probably in the spawn safe zone?

[jmj3000]

I don't think the tower is in the safe zone. That aborted attempt at pixel art is just barely outside the spawn safe zone.

[InflatablePie]

Okay, it's something wrong on my end. Because the chat function is like on a 30 second delay and I'm watching myself say "ohai" like ten times. <_<

[edit] I'm going to ragequit to WoW for now and try this again tomorrow. We'll see if I get it working somehow.

[Mute]

Dude those tunnels are big.

If you make it to 1000, -1000 you can be my neighbour. I got dibs on the swimming pool tho

Where my upper entrance is, it leads to the cobble bridge road you've got that connects to the vestibule in your home.

Same problem here.

Confused... you mean my place at 180, -180 or 1000, -1000? assuming former, I was talking about later

[Mute]

I have no idea anymore Tans. I'm progressing back through the tunnels and going to my home. I wanna get back to setting up the last two mines and/or building a trap for the dungeon I found.

[JDodge]

There was a guy who somehow got our server IP a while back, by the name of DanSayDie.

I wonder if it's him. :/

And I might be wrong, but I think UA/JD can see who last edited a block, which might include chests too. They might be able to figure out who it is or see a log or something. But I don't pretend to know a damn thing about running a minecraft server so IDK.

In the meantime, we should probably all hide our chests. <.<

We have no logs of anything; the amount of server resources to get such a log (as well as the size the logs would be and the general incomprehensibility of them) would make it a stupid thing to put in such a simplistic server client.

Re: Ray, are we sure Socio didn't take his own shops down?

[My Milked Eek]

There were dozens of dyes lying on the ground. If I hadn't picked them up they would have vanished. I don't think Socio would be so careless with his stuff.

And there has been a recent increase of creepered stuff that doesn't get fixed by the people being creepered. For example:
- road on my continent got creepered
- other roads
- socio's shop got creepered before

the thing is, why would anyone griefing have any real reason to leave them there

[Knight of Cydonia]

It seems somebody is griefing: KoC lost iron, socio's shops are being ruined, and now bv's had iron stolen.

Somewhere, some day, we're going to find a giant iron palace built at the adminium level, with a trollface above the front door.

Because they don't care?

Check out Socio's shop. Most of it is still there, except the walls. It could be that it burned down. Do doors, fences and beds catch fire? Still doesn't explain how it caught fire or why the chests were broken.

again, i see no reason why we're not just assuming socio did it himself until he says otherwise

[JDodge]

i'd also like to note that blaming "guy who found server IP who isn't on-site" is incredibly dangerous thinking and that i will not abide by any accusations until there is some evidence to support them

i'm logging on quasi-randomly and teleporting to people who are online to ensure that nobody's up to no good just so we can sort of figure things out a bit better

This. I was actually thinking of inviting a couple of (reliable, non-troll) friends onto the server to help me with my Kocktower, but if this is the thinking that's going to prevail, you might as well password the server and only hand it out to people who ask via PM on here.

[bv310]

Any reason why I can't pick up any blocks and the blocks I destroy just respawn in seconds? <_<

There's a no-build zone right at spawn. You have to move somewhere else. I'd suggest coming over near my and Esurio's places.

Alternatively, head towards the big cobble tower with lava pouring out of the top. There's a mine if you head down, and a skyway across to untrod's house and the rest of the island area. If there are zombies near the door, use the water elevator (Just stick your head out every now and then, unless you like drowning.)

[bv310]

If you do get up his tower, you can head towards the lava beacon. From the platform nearby, you'll be able to see my wool house. There's a dirt hovel nearby that someone left behind. You can use that for a while if you want.

[Knight of Cydonia]

Oh, is that pillar of various dyed wools yours? I spotted that while I was starting my floating tree farm this morning.

[Claus]

Don't build too close; I'm planning on building a giant music box at some point.

I tried building a smallish music box near my place - however, the lag on SMP servers in general (even when it is just a small ammount of lag), makes music tempo REALLY unreliable. I suggest many short/simple songs instead of a big one.

Any reason why I can't pick up any blocks and the blocks I destroy just respawn in seconds? <_<

Either you are in the spawn-safe zone (a 33x33 box around the spawn point) -- or you are experiencing severe lag. Since you said your messages were taking a while to appear, it is probably lag.

(By the way, I logged in a few times over the weekend, and experienced no lag -- the lag on this server comes and goes unpredictably -- if you have lag, try a few hours later)

Griefers griefers waaa waa waa

I agree with Jdodge, we need to be very careful before throwing griefing accusations around. Things can get sour really quickly. Specially things like "invisible griefers who found our server out of nowhere". If we had such malicious, evil cunning scum in the server, they wouldn't just steal a few stacks of iron and creep a few roads. This looks more like good old fashioned cluelessness to me.

Socio DID take down his own shop, at least on my town, he left a plaque saying so. The remains of his original shop do look like they were burned down (glass, stairs, fences remaining, etc), but there is ALSO a plaque there from him ("damn creeping griefers", or something like that).

Creeping roads and random points around the world is NOT griefing -- it happens to everyone. I think it is rude if you don't tell others that you were creepered in a place you did not build, but I can see people who don't realize that (we need to enlighten them before slapping "GRIEFING!" around).

The missing iron is a more serious matter, but like JDodge said, there is not really possible to log block changes. I have a few suggestions:

1- Set a MOTD - I think it is possible to set a message in the server to be displayed every time someone logs in. Put something like: "Rules: Don't take things in chest that don't belong to you. If you get creepered on someone's else buildings, report at the thread: XXXXXXXXXXX"
2- IF the stealings continue, the 1.3 server has a whitelist function. This would force everyone who wants to play to post here at least once (and be reachable by PMs).

[bv310]

Yep, that's the remnants of my building materials. Figured it'd look cool as a beacon.

Also the stuff laying all over the ground is a result of a chest getting smashed/creepered. I tested.

[Stefunny]

My husband has discovered MafiaScum so my computer has been in use >.>

One day I will be able to play Minecraft again. =(

[bv310]

More scummers is always a good thing.

[UltimaAvalon]

so is more minecrafters
