Since we have a new dev and all (TannerLittle) I suggested something a while back that was the same thing but it was impossible since we didnt have a dev I suggested to add rules books to new island chests. Now i am suggesting alot more. I want to suggest rule books in starter chests and a /kit rules for default and up also the rules broadcasted in chat. It sounds a little intensive but it is the internet there is no other way people will follow the rules or even know them. Also it is annoying listening to new players yap about the rules being on forums.

 

The rule book in starter chests is a great idea. It has been suggested before. From what I understand, it would require a full server restart.

Adding the rules to the global chat would only make things more congested and may contribute to lag.

Awhile ago, I suggested that the rules be static to the home page of the forums. That way it's easy for players to find. I hope it's implemented.

The best thing you can do is set an example. Answers players questions. Guide them in the right direction. The resources are available. Link them to the rules thread.

Every action you take makes a difference to the community.

 

It wouldnt need a restart by now all the players who arent banned probobally know the rules it just needs a restart

 

Nobody does /rules .__. that is why it isnt on net i've never heard of a new player typing /rules

 

And sorry i haven't been replying i havent been getting alerts from this thread

 

Maybe when a player restarts his or her island, they are given a rule book. Don't believe that would require a server restart just like a /give command or pluggin. when the player is banned, the banning mod can ask if they read the rule book given to them

 

That would require command blocks and only sethbling can handle command blocks because the only thing he has on his pc is vanilla mc LOL or what i'm trying to say is command blocks are too laggy

 

Souprising

 

Well not necessarily, since we can't do multiple commands anymore, it would only take a couple of command blocks. I'm sure tanner can install something easier and neater than command blocks.

Btw sethbling isn't the only one good with command blocks, he was also a dev

 

SETHBLING WAS A DEV HERE??????!?!?!?!

 

Oh I saw that server it was awesome

 

No an actual developer, not a minecraft one cx

 

I feel stupid wasnt he dev on the mind***** server?

 

No he was an actual COMPUTER developer/programmer

 

Actually there's a lot of overlap between Minecraft plugin dev and rl programming ^^ True story: Whippy took some of his plugin code and implemented it into a piece of "real life" code! Minecraft is totally relevant *weakly trying to justify how much time we spend on Minecraft*

Oh er and I meant to say, I totally agree the rules should be clearer. I think rulebooks in starter chests is a brilliant idea but if it requires another reset ... um nothanks. If only a restart, then cool go for it. I don't think existing players require it, but if new islands being created could have it that would be nice.

Another possible idea... /kit rules to get a rulebook ? People check kits more than rules haha.

Probably not the best place to mention this but, really pleased that /warp rules was added on .Org. One problem with it - Whippy can't read half of it in default because clouds come and obscure half of the signs XD I didn't notice as clouds are much more transparent in my t pack. I think many players play with clouds on in default t pack so could /warp rules be moved slightly to be above or below cloud level? Lel
