I got WE at just over 500 posts and I hadn't really built anything great. My greatest build was probably my dojo, which even still wasn't that great. I guess I helped other people out but to be honest I was pleasantly Suprises that I was actually given WE powers.

too much work :U

Because I wanted to post a WIP Progress picture here. Why shouldn't I post a picture here anyway? The pictures would be on the level anyway, so what's the big deal?

If you want to post Work in progress pictures, that's fine, do it in a separate topic. In your level this should be in spoilers, btw. My point is that a WIP picture is another picture, and you are limited to 15 pictures, so if you don't want it to be taken seriously as one of your 15, take it off, or post it elsewhere.
also, a post with a picture by itself with nothing written about it/near it/in it, would really not quite fit.

Why? It clearly isn't an actual picture because it isn't on the Level Database. This is the best place to post WIPs.

because if I asked about it, it probably isn't so clear, and well, you don't usually see works in progress posted in the comp's topic, lol. actually, I don't think I ever saw such a thing O_o

and even if it's not a picture of the full level, it is a picture of part of it, and I don't expect ot have any picture posting the whole level if you build such a big thing, so etc. use it as 1/15 or remove it from this topic, please.

I'm not entering a level.

Is that supposed to be a "quit to spite Shos" sorta thing?

No, I just don't want to build in the Interguild Server.

Is it another anti-Interguild sentiment...?
EDIT: BTW, (unrelated), I actually thought you were better before your teenage years...

No, I have less powers on that server and I want to help the server I own. Obviously.

well that's a shame, with all those talks I expected something awesome coming from you =\

what do you mean by 'help' btw.? I don't remember anything with minecraft actually having a goal.?

also, a question for all, is there any reason at all to not just give all the players worldedit? I mean, do you have like a limited amount of permissions to give or something?  

There is certainly a reason. WorldEdit can cause huge destruction. with just a few commands. It can crash a server on a whim and delete huge projects instantly.

Well then shouldn't there just be a guide on how to use it without deleting the entire world, and then..?

Shos, the problem is that people cannot be trusted. I have little faith in people behaving responsibly in this world - A real life example is that I am against Drug Legalisation because I have little trust in the average moron behaving sensibly.

I don't think I'm going to have too much time to build my entry but I'll try. I think Flash could have produced something decent but oh well. I've only really had 30 minutes to build so far.

you have more than 30 days, so 30 minutes a day should be more than enough, I hope

Well, I'm not going to be able to go on every day.

I'm going to actually have to side with flashmarsh here.

The whole reason that he's had his world edit powers revoked was because of his forum behavior, being too mean to people, and while you shouldn't reward people for bad behavior, I'm not sure that it was related enough to minecraft to warrant taking away his WE powers. He's mean often, but IMO he's done nothing to show that he can't be trusted to make good use of world edit powers. Yes, it's a privilege, but I don't like that the privilege is directly connected to ones forum behavior. I personally think that it should be based simply on how much you can trust that someone is going to use the it in a proper manner. Posting in the chatbox is a privilege (one that everyone starts out with), but I'm not going to chatbox ban someone because they were griefing on our minecraft server.

Additionally, shos specifically said earlier in this thread: "It doesn't have to be on the inter-server or something, but please, read the whole thing."

And then some other people said that it should be on the interguild's server and he changed his mind. Before the post where he changed his mind, you were allowed to build your entry on another server because shos was allowing it, and he was running this competition. But now suddenly he's not allowed to? If you hi-five someone today, and then tomorrow a new law passes making hi-fiving illegal, are you going to get arrested for what you did the day before, when it wasn't illegal? By the same logic, shouldn't flash be able to complete his entry on the server he was building it on, since he started his entry before shos said that you had to build it on the IG servers?


And this isn't necessarily in support of flash, but since not all of our members have world edit powers, shouldn't it be disallowed in general? It would be unfair for people like Bmwsu and Livio to use world edit to build their entries, while people like flash and jorster have to build their by hand. Do you honestly think that Flash could build what he was building, by hand? I think not. Either people should be temporarily given world edit powers to aid them in making their entries, or no world edit should be allowed in this competition, since it gives some users an unfair advantage over others.

I think that whatever server FlashMarsh builds the level on, anyone should be able to enter. It's kind of unfair that many people here don't know what his server IP is, yet he still submits his level on it.

Texture packs also greatly change how people think of levels. He posted his levels with a texture pack, and since texture packs allow people to go beyond the limits of the look of things in Minecraft, they shouldn't be included when judging.

I use textures packs because default looks bad, simple as that. My entire server is based around my current Customised Dokucraft. And in the future my server will be more opened to the public, but none of my admins had run a server before so we wanted to get used to it.

aye, look guys.
I have no experience whatsoever with Minecraft in general. I thought I could try making this comp on my own and stuff but perhaps I've been too ambitious.(sp?)

Quirvy has a point there, and I'd like to refer to it. At the start, I really didn't mind servers whatever you want; because I really had no idea what the hell this is about - I never played the game, don't know how many servers are there, who can access what, etc.
My point was 'our' server(s). this means, I don't care which server you decorate with your amazing buildings, as long as, as kro said, everyone can access it. If Flashmarsh has a server of his own and only allows his mother to visit it, it doesn't help me if he builds there. so here it shall be, like in math class:

DEFINITION 1- "A server legitimate to submit an entry in":
A Minecraft server which is accessible to all of the interguild's minecraft players.

Now about this WorldEdit thingie. What quirvy said was legit - disallowing it and therefore making all competing people equal. However, as a, once again, inexperienced-in-minecraft person, I figure that making buildings with WorldEdit can create wonderful stuff. So I do not want to disallow it. I support quirvy's case about the 'giving WE powers' topic, but I really can't quite do much about it, I don't even know who to talk to. I'd guess bmw after seeing the discussion about it somewhere with jorster, but well, hmmmn.

about that textures thing - I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about; but refer Def. 1 and see that all tiles/blocks/whatever accessible to one person should be accessible to all.

~~~

Just how many servers are there related to people in the interguild? I understand that there is the inter-server and Flash's - are there more? and who can access which server?

Look, I was always planning to give access to it, it's just that it will be for non-Interguilders too. The reason no access has been given yet is partly due to our current inexperience, and also because you have not found who the griefer is on InterServer.

Also Krotomo's point is incredibly stupid because anyone can go and install a texture pack.

the reason that nobody can access that server is not relevant; the fact is that they can't, whcih means it is not good enough. I'm not sure what kind of experience you need to run a server, I mean, who cares if there's another person online..? anyway - you should really understand by now that I don't play minecraft, and therefore I have no idea what the griefer is or something.

about th texture pack - is it something that a person installs for himself? is that editable or something? becaue that kinda sounds like photoshop editting, lol. either way, see my post above - if and only if it's available to everyone, then it's legit.

Your first paragraph makes completely no sense.

A texture pack means that all the textures look different - For example grass on Default would look different to my grass. Anybody can download and use these texure packs.
