I try to be there for my nephews, but its getting harder. My sister's attitude is rubbing off on the oldest. He is getting ready to enlist, he hates women (seriously), he is a a bully, lazy, and not once has taken credit for his problems or his failings. Sure he is 17, but how much will he actually grow out of it? My youngest nephew though, now that is a different story, he hates his mom, he has asked to live with me a few times, but its not possible, his mother flat refuses (Mainly on the grounds of her being lazy as hell, and she needs him to pick up after her and #3) I gave both nephews a decent mid range PC; my sister stole it and uses it for porn and facebook, and refuses to give it back. I bought them an Xbox with a few games; #3 smashed it one night while drunk and pretending he was Thor with an iron skillet (Not joking, this actually happened) I bought the youngest a Chromebook; then proceeded to "rent" it to him. He signed a rental agreement with me, where he would pay me 20$ a month. I put that money into a savings account for him, that his mother doens't know about. The reason we did a rental agreement though, so that if anything happens to it, I sue her for it. And I flipping will sue her fat lazy ass if anything happens to it. Also, a savings account for my youngest is just win all around, and he knows and is cool with it. That being said though, your quote is really nice, Drifter, but I view it as one of those things writers put down to sound cool but when it comes to real world application, it falls apart. Like many things, its great on paper, but in application its not even close to reality. Just like with smokers, its impossible to help them quit, unless they 100% in their heart want to quit. My sister doesn't want to change, she is happy going through life manipulating people and getting her way through ignorance and tantrums. My dad feels some sort of guilt for not nurturing her enough or something, I don't really know; but until such a time as he feels he has done enough, I can't help him quit.

oh yea! In the server settings I have created so far, I have the difficulty as "Normal" Mob Griefing turned off (Enderman and creepers cannot move/ break blocks) Fire Tick turned off (Fire will light, but will not spread, so you cannot burn down a forest, and neither will lightning) //I turned off fire tick specifically as in 1.6.4 I burned down my house when I set up a lava forge, it then spread to the surrounding jungle. It was funny but it sucked.

Iron Golems are Vanilla There are a few mods out there that add more golems, and ones that even cut trees and mine for you. uuhh, I think Ars MAgica is the mod? I don't think it was Thaumcraft 3...... let me look at it again Also, I know there are Mods that add Bee's, including magic bee's that mine and what not as well.

yea, thats why I love the Underground Biomes mod. It adds in a ton of different cobblestone, as well as like 20 new types of underground structures.

I love the "Idea" of it, but yea, wwwaaayyyy to much. I will look at Thaumcraft again and see if it has a 1.6.4 mod. That adds another level to everything, but its not bad, its pretty much what you make of it.

Yea, Gregtech is nuts. Playing on hardmode you will never get anything done, and its much easier to just skip it. The Metallurgy mod has a much better handle on machines, but then my problem comes in with its just way to many ore's added to the game. One thing I thought of was that I need to look at inserting a "Resource" dimension. Not anything close to Mystcraft, but maybe do the Twilight forest, or even just a normal world where we can stripe mine the place, and then reset it back to normal. The server load might be to much there though.

For Metallurgy 3 they change the spawn heights for the ores, and then put in so many extra's that ore is literally everywhere. Example: Redstone spawns from 1-64 height now Lapis spawns at about the same Diamond is from 1-approx 40 Emerald is all over After that you have all the other ores in the game/ mod I want to say its like 46 total ore's added in. Modded ores and the pickaxe needed to mine them. Also, no to Industrialcraft: Thats from the mod authors official blog. Its dead and not able to be used in any of the new versions of the game. We could do GregTech, which is similar, but if you guys want to go down that rabbit hole, then I will start another thread as there is a whole other list of issues with it that need to be discussed (Config and recipe options) I looked at Galacticraft, as well as a few other "space" mods, there is one that adds in Mars, and then a few other dimensions/ planets as well. Very Grindy though, and gets away from the "Vanilla" feel you guys were saying you wanted. Let me research a few things about Gregtech though, and I will post again.

Okay, so I think I have it all decided upon for us here. one thing though: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/744918-15x162forgesmp-metallurgy-putting-the-mine-back-in-minecraft/ http://metallurgy2.wikia.com/wiki/Metallurgy2_Wiki That mod right there I am torn on. There are several pro's and con's to this mod. A) it makes ores really insanely easy to get. It adds a ton more ore's C) It adds loads of new weapons and tools D) Alloys and shit E) machines, and power sources, sort of. For this server, I am not really sure if we want something like this. Please check it, I am torn between it making things to easy to do for us, and it letting us jump deeper into bigger builds with more options. AS it stands now, I have the following mods set up: Biomes o Plenty Underground Biomes Tree Capitator More Furnaces (I might drop this if we go with Metallurgy 3) and Dynmap I am still looking at a few other options as well.

I have this same problem at home, but on servers, I tend to be far more honest. Agreed, its one of the reasons I never go to the Nether or the End

well shucks That means I gotta whip up something really good then

I appreciate the vote of confidence fella's.

Cool, everyone check it out if you can. I have an idea that I would like to explore

hey Harrison, can you check out the RPG Immersion Pack in FTB for me please? Let me know your thoughts.

Also, would you guys be open to whitelisting the server, but taking applications for more members?

I've been working for a while on how to handle this in a way that would be enjoyable for everyone. This is all open to discussion: What I consider Must Have mods: Dynmap Biomes o Plenty (This is what I use for the new Terrain generation, as well as the new Biomes) NEI - Not enough items Debatable mods: Towny - see above MCMMO - See above Divine RPG - Link to the Mod, http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1518578-164-betaforgesmpdivinerpg-8-new-dimensions-115-new-mobsbosses-hundreds-of-items-164-beta-released/ - Potential problems = It is currently only available for 1.5.2, I had wanted the server to be at least 1.6.4. There is a Single player beta of this mod for 1.6.4, but not a mulitplayer, yet. Tree Capitator - I hate chopping tree's 1 block at a time. This mod has been on every server I have ever run/ hosted with you guys. MCMMO has a similar mechanic in it. but this one is always super fast updated to the latest MC version, where as MCMMO is not. Thats really it on my list to be honest. Everything else can be handled internally to MC with /gamerule commands. So that being said, what do you guys want? Would you prefer an FTB style clone? Would you prefer something more FTB lite? Dimensions? More Ore's? Machines? etc? My focus in MC is always building and mining, I hate when endermen or Creepers blow my shit up. I rarely, if ever, wander about and fight mobs, unless they are in my town. The combat mechanics are crappy and I just have never enjoyed them. So that being said, my enjoyment in this game could be radically different than what you all have.

One other thing I was thinking about making a "Themed" server, like maybe a Norse themed server. Not really sure what you all thought of that. EDIT: Also, depending on what mods folks would like to run, we (I) will need to do either a Forge server or Bukkit. MCPC which combined the two, appears to be dead, so no more mixing it up like we did before.

You will definitely need your login. Towny is a plugin for a Bukkit modded Minecraft server. The plugin itself is a manager for a Resident-Town-Nation hierarchy, as well as a block permission manager for a grid-like protection system. Each town has a mayor, while a nation has a king. They both have their own assistants to help run their respective people. Players can also purchase land from the town, as well as an optional daily tax set by the mayor. The player can allow his friends from out of town to build on his land when even his very own town's people can't build if he so wishes. The bases of protection follows under how the world is separated into chunks. For those unaware, minecraft servers are broken up into 16x16x128 sections of blocks. The 128 being the height from the adimantium floor to the clouds in the sky. The protection ignores the height an focuses on the x and z planes. The default size for grid squares is 16x16, similar to the chunk size (configurable when you start using towny). So claiming a townblock (a grid square) allows that section of land to follow your town's or the plot owner's permissions. Each town can claim up to a certain amount of townblocks, a set ratio or amount configured in the setting that is relative to the amount of players taking residence in that town. Residents themselves have no limit on how many they claim, however the daily tax (when using alongside iConomy) will take a bite out of their resources. The money is tunneled to the town's bank account that only the mayor can withdraw from, except if the town belongs to a nation. Any town belonging to a nation may be required to pay the nation a daily upkeep as well. MCMMO: The goal of mcMMO is to take core Minecraft game mechanics and expand them into add an extensive and quality RPG experience. Everything in mcMMO has been carefully thought out and is constantly being improved upon. Currently, mcMMO adds thirteen unique skills to train and level in. Each of these skills is highly customizable through our configuration files, allowing server admins to tweak mcMMO to best suit the needs of his or her server. Additionally, when run in conjuction with SpoutPlugin, mcMMO also has a custom XP bar to allow for easy tracking of progress towards leveling up. Know that the mcMMO team is dedicated to providing an ever-evolving experience, and that we carefully read all feedback and bug reports in order to evaluate and balance the mechanics of mcMMO in every update. (the thing I like about MCMMO is that it allows people to get rewards from basic building that you normally wouldn't get. Dirt will drop Glowstone dust, Gravel will drop bones, gunpowder, and flint, Trees will drop their leaves instead of saplings, etc..)

I can help you, just Download the new version of the game as what I sent you ages ago will not work with new servers.

I love your optimism, but that would be so bizarre for this series, that I think it would be a jump the shark style moment.

did you submit your votes? once you go through all the things, and sign in, you still have to submit. The whole thing is really poorly done IMO

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Hang Tight Capn! I literally just got the email with the Civ 5 code!

My wife gets hiccups whenever she drinks beer or eats bread. //Cool Story Bro!

I linked my google, still nothing and its been 8 hours. All I got was "Thanks, you will get your crap soon"

To be honest, she gets it from my mother. They are literally the same creature. My dad is still caught in the middle though. The really horrible catch here is that my dad watches and helps me home school my son. So its a really crappy Catch 22, or so it seems the more I think about it
