General Discussion / Happy 12th Birthday, VillageCraft!

« on: 1 December 2023, 01:54:21 PM »

VillageCraft was started on the 1st of December, 2011, twelve years ago today.

Wild.

Seldom does a Minecraft server, let alone any game server, last 5 years, let alone 10, let alone 12. I just want to thank all of you, the players in our community, for being here and making this a unique piece of the internet. VillageCraft isn't quite like other game servers, and I'm glad you're all a part of it. I appreciate all of you gorgeous people with your weird and enjoyable personalities. You're all fantastic, I love you all.

Here's to the next orbit around the Sun, let's make it a fun one. Let's game, let's socialize, let's find and spread happiness. All from our little corners of the Earth, together, on VillageCraft.

Thank you, and be excellent to eachother, always,
~Ako

I think we should have a loooong drawn out debate on the morality of poly relationships instead.

Just kidding. I updated the plugin config "allow multiple partners" line from false to true.

The plugin's config has a whole lot of other options too. Let me know if we should change any others.

Probably Back 4 Blood, gotten into it with some folks lately and it is very fun!

What is the next poster's favourite childhood show or movie?

I adored Kim Possible! Watching it back as an adult it still rocked!

If you could move to a country different from where you live, where would it be?

I often think of moving to Costa Rica lol. Tho I've never been to Europe so maybe I'd pick there if I go. Costa Rica is so nice tho.

Would the next person rather be dirt poor but truly happy or filthy rich but miserable?

The VillageCraft Wiki is right here: https://www.villagecraft-server.com/wiki/

As long as you're signed into the forums, you are free to participate in editing pages, creating pages, and of course reading all the content everyone else has made.

We hope as a community we can all add helpful info about the server, village lore, plugin details, and anything else.

Do you have a village? You could write a page about it. Are you knowledgeable about something on the server? You could write or add to a page on it.

It's quite easy to do, and if you need any help, just ask. Enjoy!



Update: Quick Guide to writing a VC Wiki page added. Happy writing! https://www.villagecraft-server.com/wiki/wiki/quickguide

I've heard that the best way to do a journal, bullet tasks, anything like that is to write your tasks/goals BEFORE you wind down for bed. That way your scattered wakeup brain already has guidance. Also, to keep it simple and short. 1-4 goals should be plenty for 85% of any given person's days. Put that journal somewhere you will see it after you wake up. Computer keyboard, coffee maker, whatever. Somewhere you can't avoid it, even accidentally.

My friend actually had a wakeup scatterbrain journal he'd write in for 5 mins when he woke up. It would be absolutely nonsense gibberish just to clear his thoughts. It worked too, he could focus more clearly after and get on with his day more productively. I've been meaning to try it. I should write down to try it... in a goal list...

I think the sentiment of having an overall backdrop for the year is positive. If ever you feel scattered, if all else fails, you can just work on improving a skill, and that will be a success.

I've come to realize the overall reason that New Years resolutions tend to sit un-achieved is because right from the get-go, you're already putting it off. Why wait till New Years? Because really, the only way for something to come true is to do it. There are a thousand excuses to not do the thing you set out to do, and it's your job to not give in to 97% of them. Postponing starting something is making an excuse instead of starting the thing. I say, just start it. The only way to build a habit in our stubborn monkey brains is to do the thing. Otherwise you're starting by making a habit out of putting it off.

Keep that trend line upwards, like CGP Grey said. You can do it. It's hard. You can do it. In 97% of those moments where you get to choose, choose the improve a skill branch.

You got this


Also I like his theme system journal. I made my own for free. Let me know if you want it. He discusses it here:

I used to always find it weird when I'd get home from Halloween, dump my haul on the table, and there would be these weird loose unwrapped caramels. It looked like someone had a bag or tin of them and just gave them out individually to kids. Those were always slightly scary to eat.

Anyways so my answer is caramels, both because they were definitely poisoned, and because they also just aren't very good. It's hard to suck through an entire one, your mouth gets so nasty, it's kindof gross.

Does the next poster choose mild, medium, or spicy (or insane infernal death) food when given the option?

Rain!! Specifically a nice fall rain where you can curl up with a nice hot beverage, blanket, and a book!

Would the next poster live in space?

I've thought about this several times. I take living in space to mean on a starship or on a space station, and the answer is yes I'd love to try it. It's so different and unique, I find the idea exciting. I feel like every day in space would be interesting and you'd learn something new. As long as I can come back home to Mars at some point, I'd love to do it.

Does the next poster think we've ever been visited by aliens?

Costa Rica. It has it all. Outstanding beaches, volcanoes, rainforests with hanging bridges and ziplines, hikes, boats, monkeys in the trees, a healthy working class population, and kind people. Great place to visit. I keep thinking about living there.

Next poster: What is a skill you'd really like to get good at?

Reports & Grievances / Re: Carnival Chaos

« on: 9 August 2022, 05:53:42 PM »

My opinion:
VC doesn't require a fighting agreement or pact, but instead recognizes peace agreements. In in-game chat, request a peace agreement or "no-kill" and make sure the other person agrees, then a pact is made (by default for several minutes) and we can see it in the server logs, and the Staff will enforce it should it be broken. Please see Rule 12 for that.

Otherwise what we're dealing with here is Rule 10, which is combat in PVP-On zones, which is allowed.

In my opinion no rule was broken in this instance.


Sorry you lost some items, consider privately talking to CRH to see if he'd be interested in returning anything, tho it's up to him. And in the future, consider using peace agreements to keep the peace in PVP zones.

Also, I wanted to add that Legend pointed out to me today that VC used to be very PVP-focused, but isn't all that much at the moment. I think people are a bit out of practice with handling it, probably yourself included. Let this be a lesson to everyone that PVP zones are kinda the wild west.

Rules | Info | Support / How to set a profile picture | How to post a picture on the VC Forums

« on: 8 August 2022, 11:41:35 PM »

How to set a profile picture on the VC Forums:

1. Click your name at the top of the page.



2. Modify Profile -> Forum Profile



3. In "Personalized Picture", choose "Specify Avatar by URL"



4. Paste the URL link into the text box, and make sure it starts with "http" and not "https". Remove the "s" if needed. The link should end in an image file format like ".jpeg" or ".png", and avoid using links that include "gallery" (instead try to use only the direct image link).



5. At the bottom of the page, press "Change Profile".



Note: Using an external image hosting website like imgur.com is suggested. Upload your image there, get the link, and use that link here on the forums.


How to post a picture on the VC Forums, including in a forum post or in your signature:

Use the image button when posting, then paste the image link between the code it creates. Or, type the code yourself.
(Also, http or https are both okay in this case for some reason.)

Here's the button:


It should look like this once you add your link:



Enjoy!
