That is the problem with putting something in the fireplace which people don't read.

I disagree. Archi is right. Worked for me. If like, the owner of coke murdered a load of people he may get increased sales. Any publicity is bad publicity (unless the coke is radioactive, etc) But politically, you wouldn't vote for the person who killed loads of children. At least I wouldn't.

He is right though, intergration doesn't work as well as people like. Different cultures and religions only serve as a barrier and often I think I would agree to multiculturalism shouldn't be encouraged. In his memoirs he describes how he was shocked at how his Islamic friend was taken from the country to a forced arranged-marriage, this to him (and to me) is quite shocking and proves the issues surrounding intergration. Obviously murdering a load of children probably isn't the best way you get your opinions voiced, though.

I love how Brievik completely got the opposite result to what he wanted to happen! Any sort of discussion about immigration in a negative light is now taboo.

I had muscles once, I had terrible diarrea. Just eating one Burker King and being sick does not really prove anything, there could be a ton of other factors that have made you sick. How do you know it was burger king? You've already proved that McDonalds is safe, it seems that unless Burger King has some strange ingredient in it you're probably haven't built up some sort of allergy to junk food. Actually throwing up after eating a meal probably isn't the best accomplishment, I am fairly thin but I don't vomit after eating fast food. That's the sort of the thing that you do after a complete lack of nutrients. - Mather, I suggest you write out an aplogy to everybody else in the room surrounding your appaling behaviour.

I tend to take my anger out on people that I don't care about. Or the dog. [hide] :twss: [/hide]

The wooden pressure plate could possibly active a door, TNT, an arrow, a mob, a treasure chest or something completely different. The chest could contain enchanted waepons, food, arrows, tools and potions. Objectives could be things such as [CTM], complete the monument in which people have to find treasure around the dungeon to complete a monument, it could be linear, it could be a chase scene with a non-player acting as the NPC. It has a lot of scope. Creating dungeons allows minecraft to be used to its full potential, there isn't any sort of silly restrictions that detract from intended vanilla gameplay, it's free to be played how the players would like the play it. Takes like a second to build dungeons, that took me about 5 minutes and I reckon I could average about 10 rooms in half an hour if I build efficently, I see no reason why a minecraft dungeoneering session couldn't even be held weekly! To be honest, it wouldn't even need to be underground. I could make skyships: [hide] [/hide] Or Art Decor style buildings (a la bioshock) [hide] [/hide] (those are from my creative world) - Earth, obviously people shouldn't make their maps like some sort of attempt to massacre everybody but to be honest, even a hard minecraft map shouldn't be too frustrating. Traps and mobs are powerful, but the fact that all blocks are destroyable means that the game is a lot less frustrating, it's clear. Obviously if people don't like the maps people like, they can vote for somebody else next game. And obviously, you can't just have one person making all the dungeons. I think it would be nice as a showcase of creativity/ to see peoples ideas and such. If we do all have minecraft I could try and create a dungeon as a starter and then hopefully we could move onto other people making dungeons. - On top of that, I could terraform land outside to give people free land to build outside of the dungeons. I am fairly good with MCedit and Voxelsniper so I could probably create an above ground land and then dungeons underneath. It would be like a sort of roleplay, you gather resources on land and you can tackle the dungeons underneath to find better resources and such. In fact, I reckon that with a bit of imagination we could make a fully blown 'roleplay' out of it! I (or whoever is GMing) could use /say to speak on behalf of a villager like /Say Butcher: I am selling meat which would come up in purple.

Archimage, if you want, send me the server files over PM and I can try to run it for you. - I personally see minecraft as the perfect platform to run a dungeon crawl on. Somebody hosts a server (maybe for three-five hours like a dungeoneering game) with a map created on it. With worledit I could probably create a relatively large underground complex packed with loot with a days work. Minecraft has disarmable traps, monsters, enchanted weapons, potions and loads of other cool stuff. Playing it as a multiplayer dungeon crawl would just be awesome. I suggest we have rotating GM's and host sessions infrequently (monthly) to give people time to make maps. Video: A dungeon complex in minecraft, made with mcedit & worledit

Joined the server, the owner Ouyso just having destroyed part of Yellowmore. - Also, I didn't find the server very fun. You weren't allowed to build in most of the areas, for example the area I was standing in in the screenshot didn't allow me to build. Doors were locked, I wasn't allowed to enter and exit without the doors owner (or a mod/admin which is like everybody) opening it for me to let me through. I don't see why doors should be locked! The server lagged hideously, it had oreobfuscator and nocheat. Oreobfuscator is supposed to stop X-raying, it works by essentially replacing blocks around the radius you mine so you can imagine that there are a load of unecessary block updates, instead they could use found-diamonds or other non-laggy method. Nocheat on a laggy server just doesn't work, it teleports 'flyers' back but actually just slows down anybody who lags which is quite annoying. The majority of the community semed to have creative mode, I didn't feel it was a legitimate server. /back, /home and /tpa makes the game too easy. Protection of land is too heavily used, protect the buildings, not the entire grassland and such around an area. The prospect of Mather having a position of power is one that scares me, based on previous experiences I expect he would randomly abuse his powers, spawn items and generally ruin the experience. I didn't feel secure in that environment. I built a cobble-square style house near a road but got kicked for building a bridge over the road (which I suppose is reasonable but it a bit harsh, if I'm not allowed to build in a village I don't want to be in it). PvP was off, I like it on incase somebody vandalises or steals.

I'm banned from a server I've never been on. - You don't get over abuse of a position of trust/power, it shows a personality flaw that means that you clearly shouldn't be in a position of trust/power and that it is unsafe and unfun for you to be in one.

I think it would be better if Archi was the operator.

I have to hand in DT coursework by tommorow, the deadline has been delayed by one day because of me and I have not started it yet. I have 12 hours.

Mather, Nerd is essentially an exclusively negative usage of geek (intelligent, no friends) or just an anorak/trainspotter type of person. A nerd partakes in nerdy things like D&D, trainspotting or trading cards. A geek is an extremely blanket term for a person who is intelligent, it can mean a nerd, it can mean somebody who is interested in something 'odd', it can simply refer to how somebody dresses 'geeky' and I'm sure that other people would love to fit their meanings in. Essentially, the argument is going like this. Mather: "Sorry I'm not super-scientist enough to play your game." Archi: "Super scientist? You just need to be a biologist!" Mather: "Pfft, Biologist? Anybody who is a biologist is a super-scientist." Archi: "No, you are an astronomer! we both study a branch of science, and are thus scientists: it's just that you do not understand this branch of science." Mather: "Nope."

Yes, but a lot of people like it so that they can claim they were '90's kids', and thus are hipsters. Also relevent: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/246/041/7ff.jpg

I think Pokémon fits the 'hipster' bracket more than the geek bracket nowadays.

Haha, stupid school. They haven't worked out the wonders of changing font size yet.

Wild has been replaced with artic, and dog with wolf. That would probably get you an A in A-Level Psychology, seriously.

You're making that out to be ridiculously hard when they both are rather small tasks :rolleyes:. The first one only needs to be about two pages, and since a playscript is mainly dialogue you don't need to worry about description/metaphors and such. Just decide on a story and write it as a playscript, I made it for you to show you how easy it is. I didn't put much effort in, this is why the dialogue is cheesy. [hide] A fox and a wolf are in a zoo, they are seperated by some thin iron bars and each have some food in the corner. Fox: Don't eat me wolf! Wolf: Oh, I won't. I've been trained to be more friendly towards other animals. Besides, I just had my lunch! Fox: Haha, that is good. Wolf: So, do you want to get out of this zoo. Fox: Yes I would. Wolf: Okay, I have a plan: what we need to do is to wait till the zoo-keeper comes than we run out and head for the forest! Fox: Good idea. The two wolves wake up early, they see the zoo-keeper coming at them with a bucket full of [fish/meat/wolf-food] Wolf: Are you ready, Fox? Fox: Sure am! The zoo-keeper opens the door to the Fox and suddenly the Fox jumps over him and locks the door behind him. Fox opens the door for wolf and they both run to the forest as planned. Scene cuts to them fishing by a river. Wolf: This was a good idea, but that zoo-keeper was really nice to us and we don't have as much food as we did in the wild. We now have to work for our food. Fox: I like it, I feel really free Wolf: Yeah, haha me too. Fox: We're such a pair! Wolf: We sure are! Bear: I've been watching you two! Both the fox and the wolf look shocked, the bear smiles. Bear: In the forest, we all try to help everybody out. Here, have this fish. The bear throws a fish at the two. They both eat it quickly Fox & Wolf (in unison): Thankyou Bear! Bear: Call me Harold Fox & Wolf (in unison): Thankyou Harold! Bear: Let me introduce you to all the other animals, above me is bird Bird: Tweet Bear: To my left is turtle Turtle: (slowly) hellloooo..... Bear: And if you want, you're welcome to come to my house whenever you want for lunch! the bear smiles Wolf: We'll come today, actually. the bear frowns Bear: Oh, today. I'm pretty busy today. Wolf: Oh. Bear: Don't worry, I'll cancel my plans. Wolf: We don't want to impose. Fox: Yeah Bear: No, it's okay. I was just going to see the ballet with my wife but I'm sure she'll understand. Wolf: Good, I'm glad that's been sorted. Fox: Yeah! Bear: Hmmmm. Tortoise: Seeeeeemmsss gooooooood beeeeaaaaarr....... Bear: Yes, Tortoise. The animals make their way to bears house to have lunch Scene cuts to all the animals sitting around the table, the wife is looking dissapointed as is Bear. Bear smiles, regardless and serves them all some Duck A'laronge Wolf: Hmmm, this looks nice Bear. Bear: Thankyou. Fox plays with his fork and stares at it. Fox: I'm a vegan. Bear: Oh, sorry. Fox: Yeah, I can't eat this. Bear: I know, sorry I'll get you something else. Fox: Good, glad that's settled. Wolf: (whispering) He should have asked. Fox: (whispering) I know, how rude fo him. Bear: [shouting] there may be a wait, Fox. Fox: Oh. Bear: Sorry. Fox: Oh, that's okay. I'll just watch these people eat. Bear: I'm very sorry. Fox: Glad of it, doesn't make my meal come any quicker. Bear: Sorry, working on it now. Wolf: (whispering) I think we should just leave and go back to the zoo, I didn't realise people could be this rude. Fox: I agree, Bear is an idiot. Didn't even think to ask if I was a vegan. Wolf: Bear, look. This is embarrasing for you. You have been so rude to Fox. Fox bursts into tears Bear: I'm sorry, I didn't think to ask. Fox: (blubbering) How could you have not thought to ask you monster! Bear: I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Wolf: Let's just leave. Bear: Sorry, I'm so sorry. Fox: Bye. Tortoise: Iiii aaaamm leeeeaaaavvviiinnngggg toooooooo, Beaaaaaarrr. Fox: See, everybody is sick of your bullying Bear. Wolf: He was just trying to make a point, he's a bad animal. All of the animals leave, Bear is crying on the floor. As the animals change scene, you can briefly hear Bear's wife scolding him Wolf: You know, I think we've learnt something today.

Abuse is physical or mental mistreatment.

Oh, Norway's police allow you to abuse members of society? That's okay, you're just expressing your freedom.

Please flip off a policeman. See how he frowns upon you. If I flipped of a random policeman, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't even frown, but rather do this. :huh: I'm pretty sure he would arrest you, but by all means, test the theory. Try to film it as well.
