For the reset, I will be creating a warp for, well, warps! Since It'll be a new world, I can keep up with the active warps. The warp will be split into groups, such as towns, shops, farms, etc. After that they will be put into alphabetical order, starting with a room labelled "a", then "b",etc. If the warp is labelled with a number or punctuation, there will be a room for that too. To put all of your future/working warps, you will have to pay a one time fee of .50 (or whatever's equivalent to the new economy prices). I thought it was a great idea, because I've never seen one in the past world that's updated. /warp warp will be created in about two weeks into the new world. Please leave your opinions or questions for /warp warp in the reply section. Thanks!
Just tried to log into the server, and I stayed for about 5 seconds before my connection "was forcibly removed by the host." Now, when I try to relog, it just says "Disconnected." Does that mean I've been banned? I received no such notification... I don't recall doing anything ban-worthy, besides reveling in such matters as inevitability and Fate. And even that shouldn't be a problem, because I stopped when the people told me to, as well as an admin. I didn't spam chat or anything...
Just restarted Minecraft and it said "Connection refused; no further information." If I was banned, I'd like a notification telling me so! The few seconds I WAS in the server, I had 2 "new" mail that I'm pretty sure is old news I forgot to delete. What's going on???
I have worked out a basic set of policies and ideas for the Stock market pluggin. That I hope many people will consider with the reset taking place soon. Please be open minded and make sure to leave comment with your opinion on the matter.
So IK that this may seem a bit spammy and this is the only time I will be making this post for a few months till the idea is dead . so I might as well Explain what the stock market is
HOW THE STOCK MARKET WORKS: Basically we have people that own shops and business and towns run their own stock on a stock exchange called the HTX or HomeTownEXchange. This allows people to back up the business that they love to buy sell and invest for the long term and future of business that are successful on this server. IT allows all people to be apart of what happens to what they like and go to buy and sell things. And with a little programming and changes to the code of the plugin we can make it so there are time periods that you can own the stock . there would be short term stock and long term stock . short term is stock you own for 30days before an automatic sail or long term stock for 60days you own that stock before an automatic sale of that stock . Now this though does not discourage people selling the stock when ever they want after that point.
HOW TO GET ON THE MARKET: now to get on the market it involves someone owning a business , shop, or town . By talking to an admin much like setting up a warp , there would be a price that would be about 125$ just an early stage estimate. And with that and a deposit of the amount of cash you want . there would be a decimal put into place to make it a little cheaper so if you add a 50$ deposit you stock price starts at 5.0$ a share. and depending on the price the stock can go up and down based on how much people buy and sell into that business . For example IF we were to say every 100$ worth of shares bought would put the stock up 1.% or something like that . Now If someone wants their company out of the market accounce it on the forums and give people three days to sell before closing off the company. Per company people may only buy up to 250$ worth of shares and that allows it to be made fair .
BENEFITS: IT allows the server to have control over how much a commodity would cost in shops it allows the people to have control over what happens and does not have the mods admins or owners to have to interfere. IT also allows people to see where the server economy is leaning towards to adjust their business and towns to survive and for the long term. This allows the server to get in on the action of everything that happens on this inside and holds business more accountable for mistakes made to make a cleaner and more efficient economy. And finally it allows those newer players to invest and make money when they do not know what to do they can be dependable on them selves, ITs a way of keeping up with the big guys and allows the economy to be more even with more richer people then poor instead of there being a top 10% like we have now we would have a top 40% or even larger like a top 60% on the long term.
POSSIBLE EVENTS : Well with a stock market if need be for people to not get completely rich we could put a 1.5% tax on all money made and at the end of the month raffle it off to either the top voter or something like that or use the .5% for the end of each month and the 1% for special events like the birthday event or winter event. IT would be interesting.
I would be happy to run this for the server for free I just need the plugging and permission from admins to do this . I would be happy to build a stock exchange building an everything I would be responsible for the reports and all the information and numbers and so on. IT would be little to no hassle for the staff. OR if they wanted to they could have complete control over it all with me getting nothing besides a week in creative world to build an HQ for this stock exchange. Besides this kind of system would make the server a lot different from others stick our head out the window and get the attention this server deserves. it makes the server more business friendly and for those that treat their in game companies and business like a real world thing like my self it makes you feel more empowered and feel like there is potential with your business.
I hope people will consider and comment I understand if I get permbanned for this or something I guess I was a bit spammy with it but there is opportunity . I mean it could help stop people from going broke all the time. and I understand if I get a strike on this post as well or even if the mods and admins don't want this to be the direction. Honestly just tell me so and I will delete this and saying nothing more of this. But IK there are people on the server that do think it is a cool idea . there are a tone that wanna see and don't see the harm in it . This could be something that help regulates what the price of shit finally is . I mean really you have someone who is for the most ppart trustworthy with money and cash and or someone willing to run it all for free. all I need is permission from staff and the plugin and an opportunity. Lets take a chance for once. I mean we are taking a huge risk with a server reset anyway and all that cash will forever be gone.
I will be setting up a poll for peoples opinions to be called. and I am willing to take suggestions to make it more fair or make it safer for the people.
i have had this idea for the server reset for a while, i want to make a capital city where lots of people can live close to each other, the plans for the city is that everyone can build their home where they see fit, but not if anyone sets up a fence or bushes to block their house off in some sort of way.
the main hope for the city is that people submit their ideas here on this thread, and give some more ideas
if you are interested in joining the project, post a reply saying you wanna join
Server you were banned on (SMP): smp.hometownmc.com
Minecraft name: corey79865
Reason for your ban: for grief
Who banned you: luxsux
Why should you be unbanned: i would like to be unbanned because hometown is my favourite server and my intention wasnt to grief and if asked i would have gladly gave the items back i didnt really know what the items were considering they were part of the new update i know im quite late to write this but i was thinking about what i did and why i did it i am terribly sorry for what i did and would love to get unbanned
Why do you want to come back: i would like to come back because hometown was a one in a kind server and i enjoyed every moment. i also enjoyed helping lots of people out and doing jobs to help peoples minecraft experience more quicker and enjoyable.
I'm moving to a rented house because my old house would be renovated, WIFI isn't set up yet, my PC won't be in the house yet, so I can't log in or play nything
(Still paranoid about minechat, even though being stated safe countless times)
Just wanted to inform acquaintances or friends,
Sorry about the waste of a thread. :P
P.S like 5-14 days bcuz of moving PC + Wifi setup?
EDIT: I saw a glitched second thread of mine in the latest posts box thing? It says this specified thread does not exist, can anyone remove it?
Due to me not being on for a bit and the upcoming server reset, I am opening up the farms at /warp geckoville to public use. There is a monster tree farm (a level for each type of tree), a large crop farm (all crop types including pumpkins, melons, and sugar cane), several animals (lots of cows, many sheep of various colors, pigs, chickens, oh my), and a flower farm for harvesting ink. I only ask that anyone using these farms replace what they take. Replant trees and crops, make baby animals before you kill off adults, restock the back of the flower farm w/ bonemeal when you use it.
There is also a spider farm at /warp gspiderxp that is free to use.
If people want any of the horses at the tree farm; tame em, saddle em, and ride off w/ em.
Finally, there are lots of vacant houses in Geckoville atm. If you wish to move into one you may. I am waving rent until after the reset. I do ask that you respect the town and not change the outside of the home or lot it is on. Also PLEASE no digging under the buildings.
Vil, and Kat, if you would please check in on Geckoville from time to time to make sure no one has greifed the shit out of it, I would appreciate it.
Enjoy folks and hope to see you all again on the flip side.
