I, Monktiger24, have created what may be a better spawn for the outsiders then what they have now. Lets face it, most of them skip the rules and important information. With this new design, they are forced to read and understand the rules, along with some important server information such as the staff colors. They are put in a study room, and then a testing area. At the end of the test, I wrote a full guide to applying for building rights. Heres a pic of what it all looks like from the outside. Note that I think its best to have this underground somewhere then in the open. The inside is better than the out. Have the admins or whoever is in charge of this tut event msg me, Monktiger24, for the location.
I saw this on the dynamic map and was wondering what it was ;-) looks cool. The only problem with this is it limits them to a confined area and we like guests to be able to go out and explore the world we have created around spawn And a lot of guests like to do that to get a feel of the server before joining. Thing is, if they dont want to read the rules they are not going to, No matter how close you shove it in their face lol.
Rules n how the server runs can change a players decision on if they would even consider joining. A player looking for a pvp server might not know this is a non pvp server until they read the rules. Just my thought on it ^^ Also, if this can't be the spawn... Why not some sort of jail for those who break the rules
Well we could always use a second-chance prison - where we send idiots who keep asking "How can I become builder" Maybe put up detailed signup signs in there as well? But yes - I created spawn so it would be open, so people could explore, run around and interact with others - instead of a highly regimented thing. Guest spawn has the usual rules maze, but once out - they have the run of the map.
Also take note that it isnt a long, hard (lol) test or process. The whole thing would take 5 min if they actually read the few signs i have up and take the test. Its straight to the point really. It would be fun in a way for them too. But ye... if this is their new spawn, they would need permission in that area to press buttons/pressure plates and be able to die (although it can still work without them dieing but being forced to /spawn). Im just tired of the same thing happening over and over again with each new guest on the server. and stank, by a sign up sign you mean building rights? because at the end of the test i have a wall of signs explaining how to get building rights and the link to tinyurl.com/beabuilder.
I really like this idea... But is it worth it? 99% of people who come on have common sence but not all of them decide to use it. If there was a question saying:"will you grief" most will go through the"no" door, but they probably wont absorb this infomation. So they will Just grief and get banned if they do apply... So, as i said it might not be worth the trouble.
I like the detailed spawn thing, but how would we get the outsiders who still don't understand the rules to go there? We cant TP them, and i dont think they can use stargates..
poc we can do /spawn playername. What would be helpful is to have guests get instant teleports so that we can /spawn them whenever so they dont keep running around like idiots. But idk how we could differentiate between stupid outsiders/demoted settlers+ from outsiders just joining. Because no matter what an outsider is an outsider so they will all have the same spawn point.... Hmmph...
Perhaps in the new rules maze, have another door for the demoted people with a sign that asks a question about the server that only a settler would know? It may require some redstone, though. Although the process of elimination would let newbies through the demoted door, too.
dannylb, what trouble? its all made and rdy for action ^^. maybe give it a test run and have it up for a day, and then ask the outsiders that went through it what they think of it. a big reason why i made this isnt only to force ppl to read the rules or some server info, but to let them know that the guide to getting building rights is right there in front of them. i think the way we have it now is, the 1st sign to the maze is the building rights url. ive been at the spawn and watched at least 3 ppl totally skip the maze, and then later on crying about not being able to build and cussing/ spamming/ w/e the fk they do lol. i just got tired of that. its an everyday thing >.>
you dont post here izaak, go to tinyurl.com/beabuilder. Once there do what it says, then ask a staff ingame to get promoted.
