so there hasnt been much of forum games activity lately, which in my opinion, is the butter of the bread on the forums. So i came up with an idea. 

In this game, you eill make a disease with a name and symptoms.   For example: the cheesease: esting anything with cheese will cause your legs to drop. (Yeah that was prettyshitty idea, but you can come up with better.)

This is just a game prototype, and i hope itll be fun.

Hello fellow HT players. 'Tis I, GingaPower2k, and I have come to begin the first Elytra giveaway! This giveaway is the first giveaway of 5, Having 4 giveaways handing out individually either the Dragon Head or Elytra, followed by a big giveaway handing out both.

   The first giveaway is a simple one. Simply post your in-game username into this thread, which will be open for a single day. After the day  is up, I'll take all the names and choose a random name generator to cycle through the names and choose one. The name chosen will receive an Elytra!
 
   Rules about the giveaway are posted:
   - Do not place your name twice on this thread, or your name will be removed completely.
   - Any player who simply asks for an Elytra with this thread will have their named removed.
   - There will be no putting another players name in if they cannot be online.


   As I said in the announcement of the giveaway, any player who currently owns an Elytra and/or a Dragon Head cannot participate in this contest. The winner of this will be mailed on the server and a message will be sent to their Forums account. The winner will be announced on server chat as well.

EDIT: The winner of this contest was HillMiner! Congratulations, HillMiner!
  That's all I have for this thread. Good luck to all of you!

So I've been thinking about making a few random shops, and this was one of my ideas.  I wanted to make a shop that utilized my xp.  Most people don't  have a lot of xp, so I thought they could use mine, but for a price.  I would enchant, repair, etc items with my levels, as long as they gave me the item to enchant/repair, and whatever goes along with that.  For example, if they wanted me to repair their diamond pickaxe, I would need a few diamonds to do the job.  I would utilize /warp repair.  If they needed me to enchant an item, I would put the item in the table, then note what enchantments are available to me.  Then I'd let the customer choose.  I would supply lapiz, because I have plenty


This would just be a little shop idea, and I thought it would be useful.  Prices would vary between items, but every level i use would be $2.  The only exception would be if I was enchanting at level 30. the price would be $15 each level 30 enchant.  

This was just an idea, and more details will come along with it if most people like the idea.  Please lmk what you think...

When shops will be ready for use? It's pretty annoying to trade something without knowing the values.

I just wanted to tell everyone that I'm going on holiday and won't be on for 2-3 weeks.
Have fun on the server meanwhile I have fun in the water! 


BYE COMPUTER, IM COMMING CROATIA!

Hello fellow HT players. 'Tis I, GingaPower2k, and today I've come for suggestions from you. After a long journey through the End, I have procured 6 Elytras and 6 Dragon Heads. Yes, I know, It's quite unreal. Since I love to help out the community, (and because I don't need 6 of each), I'll be hosting contests/giveaways for players who didn't have time to explore the End a chance to have such rare items.
  
   What I have come to ask you, players, is this: What kind of contests do you think I should hold?

   Here is a few idea's I have come up with:

   -Mansion building contest (I dunno)
   -Minecraft Skin building contest
  
   There isn't many options right now, so I'm hoping we can all come together to help make ideas. Please keep the ideas appropriate and logical. Any options that come up I will consider and later host a poll that will have all the competitions posted for a vote.


   While I have you here reading this, I'd like to state one thing about the contests. If a player currently owns either the Elytra and/or the Dragon Head, the player cannot participate in the competition. This is so players that don't have the Elytra or Dragon Head can have a fair chance at procuring one.


   After the competitions, Any extra Dragon Heads or Elytras will be sold, but we must wait for the economy to produce such funds.

   If any other players have an excessive amount of Elytras or Dragon Heads, feel free to host giveaways as well! These help out the community and can even be used to your advantage.

EDIT: I forgot to point out that these giveaways wont be all on one day. They will span out over a set period of time.

That's all I have for this thread. Have fun and be creative!

Hey guys,

Hope the new-found life in the server is good

Myself and CrimsonLaw23 (partner who also plays on the server) are having a bit of away time at the moment.

Crimson was rushed into hospital earlier this week with complications and after 3 days gave birth to our daughter. Both Mummy and baby are a little bit poorly at the moment however due to some complications and a long stay in hospital has been needed. 

No doubt Mummy will make a return to the server in the very near future, but for a little while it may be sporadic as in regards to as and when I get online, if at all.

Server you were banned on (SMP): smp.hometownmc.com

Minecraft name: Wisperino

Reason for your ban: Xraying

Who banned you: Grimm_Wolfe

Why should you be unbanned: 
From reading previous Xray appeals, I noticed that there are a series of essay-like questions that are required to be answered, so I am going to use this category (the "Why should you be unbanned" category) to answer those as best as possible, along with my actual answer to the question.

The first question that was asked, is why Xraying is bad by nature. I would like to think the answer to this is quite obvious, although I ignored it when I installed and used Xray myself. Xraying provides a completely unfair advantage to the user, as it allows the user to gain precious resources at a much faster rate than those who are not using Xray by showing their exact location. Some of these resources include, but are not limited to: diamond veins, dungeons, mineshafts, emeralds, and even strongholds. Xraying affects more than just the user though. When the Xrayer acquires these resources, it makes it so other players on the server cannot get these resources. It is very unfair to those other players, since because you were Xraying they had absolutely no chance of ever coming close to them. The Xrayer themselves can then go ahead and use those resources to gain an unfair advantage in the economy (which from my understanding in the short time playing on the server is fragile at the moment, due to the map reset). Xray is an external mod that, as far as my understanding goes, is not endorsed by Mojang, so installing it in the first place is "bad" of me. I realize that most, if not all servers do not allow Xray, but I had it on my client from a private MP server that was being hosted from my computer for some friends of mine. When I had decided that I wanted to start playing on an SMP server, I had not changed my profile. I started by using Xray to build tunnels underground from one base to another, which seems harmless, but it quickly went from that to easy diamond acquisition, which I now understand is very difficult, if not impossible to hide, and I am deeply sorry for letting my greed get the best of me.

The next question that was asked was how my Xraying affects others in the server. I explained that mostly in my previous answer, but to sum it up: I get an unfair amount of resources that would other wise be unattainable, and I throw the public economy off balance if I were to sell my unfairly gained resources.

The third question, how the server's economy if affected, I also believe has been answered sufficiently. (please notify me if I am wrong in this thinking, and I will go much more in depth as to how the fragile in-game Minecraft server economy is affected by a sudden influx if diamonds, and how/why this is an issue).

The fourth question is how will I learn from this moment, and how will I apply it to legitimately playing. First and foremost, I learned that even if I did try and hide it, I would most likely have been found out for Xraying, so attempting to cheat in future is something I will MOST definitely not even attempt to think about. I also learned, from the system in which I have to appeal (writing an essay) that cheating is taken VERY seriously on this server, which I appreciate as that is not the case on some other servers I have played on in the past. As to how I will apply this experience to legitimate play, I think it goes without saying that if I do manage to get unbanned, and if this patronizing apology is enough to be allowed back on this Minecraft server I will start to play legitimately like the rest of the players on the server, and learn to appreciate vanilla Minecraft for what it really has to offer.

And now for my official apology. I am deeply sorry for having cheated, by using Xray, on this Minecraft server, and I indeed understand the reason for my ban. I have read that most Xray appreal get declined, but I hope my sincerity and professionalism in writing this allows myself to be apart of the small group that does get a second chance. I also want to take this as a chance to commend the admins and staff of this server for their ability in finding the cheaters and keeping the server as a true semi-vanilla survival experience.

I think I should be unbanned because I have realized the mistake I had made in using my modded Minecraft profile for personal gain, and I feel a great amount of regret for having potentially ruined the Minecraft experience of other real people on this Minecraft server. I also believe in second chances, no matter how bad the offense, and I hope whoever reads this does aswell. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Why do you want to come back:
I have a pretty sick house and my friends play on the server.
