  1. Jay, I just wrote to you on a private message before or while you were posting this. Let's try to figure out what's happened and fix it :)

  2. Hi Jay,

    I can't recall monster's full username. Please let me know what it is.

    I've gotten several complaints now from a variety of people including one staff member. I need to talk to you please and hear your side of that story. People are complaining about you and monster bumping them on the rails and harassing them out at Sushi Drop. I've tried to catch up to you guys online, but I've been missing you for 2 days now.

    Sushi Drop and its rails are a public build that everyone is welcome to use. You requested the right to add some specific improvements - the sugar cane farm, expanding locked chest room #3 where I left you the signs saying "future expansion", and the lighting/look of the rails. I've welcomed you to join in the fun of this public build by saying Yes to your requests. I can't allow that to continue though if you keep making folks feel unwanted and unwelcome out at Sushi Drop, and now I just got a complaint at the Grinders. What in the world are you even doing out at the Grinders beyond lighting the rail or making it look a bit nicer?

    Guys, what is going on? Where is the confusion, and what can I do to eliminate it? I appreciate you both wanting to help out at these builds, but something has gone terribly wrong. You're making an awful lot of people unhappy. Please contact me and let me know how we can fix that and stop it from ever happening again.

    Thank you,
    khixan

    I just got this why

  3. Probably Khixan wants to make you feel welcome and wants to help you do what makes you happy.
    That sounds like a super nice letter.
  4. SQUID DOOM is now OPEN :)

    Many thanks to all the people who came out and assisted on this build! I've added your names to the post on the first page of this thread. If I've forgotten anyone, please remind me! :D

    This build uses the same rail as Slime Time, and is located just north of Slime Time. There is a short path to it.

    Slime Time: (Slimes, swamp mob farm - full kill for head drops, ice farm, and snow farms)
    Wild S, head SW to rail at 788, 11053. It is almost under the floating nether portal. There is a stone brick and oak arch over the rail entrance and colored wool. It is 1 block from the protected zone.
    SQUID DOOM! A squid farm so big, we broke minecraft a few times while making it. We had to stop adding water due to tessellating block errors. There is also another slime chunk out at Squid Doom that is smaller than Slime Time's, but is equally or more productive. This uses the same rail as Slime Time. Squid Doom is on the northerly path after you come up from the rail station. There are signs for all builds out there.

    P.S. More grinders are coming, and they will be cave spider ones out at Sushi Drop. Thanks Keysnake! They're under construction by him currently, huzzah!

  5. Yes, that is true for those who don't believe us, just a pro tip: if you are stuck in a void, go to direct connect and do (Only for EMC) <server>.emc.gs

  6. You all are awesome and I'm glad to see continued support for the public system. It helps old-timers and new players out tremendously. Instead of worrying about low supplies and the hassle to get them, everyone can now focus on more important things like mob hunting, building amazing projects, getting stuff no farm in existence supplies, empire events etc. It just makes empire a better place and I'm glad staff helps us with the reports and special spawn area builds. In fact maybe a special build to slime time and squid doom can be made in the /wild s area? That way it'd be really easy to find and empire official.
  7. Grinder and Sushi Drop Rail Improvements!

    Corruptedsmile wanted to improve the rails from Wild N to the Grinders and Sushi Drop. MANY people came out to help us with this! Thank you all!

  9. I'm not an expert on iron farms but it appears to me that someone broke the iron farm by removing the lava at the exit. Also appears that they broke some of the glass. I'd fix it but I'm not sure what to put down.

  10. .... and now it's fixed with the help of Seffychan

    we changed the color of glass to magenta since that's what i had

    edit: or maybe not. could someone with experience with the iron farm come check it out?

  11. So, I feel like the nether farm is a little cramped. As soon as someone else shows up, the farm becomes useless, it feels like. So I think I'll hunt for nearby wither spawns and appropriately realign the slabs so that they spawn more wither skeletons. Seems like it'd be a fun project.

  12. I would be interested in helping out, renovating, expanding, I don't know if there's a nether gate/rail system but there should be but...the one thing that really bugs me...are all the signs.

    I don't know if you've been there lately but Wild N, is absolutely overrun with signs. It's starting to look like a spammy chat room. For starters there are two signs two blocks apart from each other that say sushi drop this way. Why? And then there are all the scary signs that say don't break anything, don't grief, yada, yada, yada, there's about a dozen of those or more and random people keep plopping down nonsense signs as well, there are currently some signs that state if you "steal" the iron that demons will swallow your soul.

    The place needs some serious tidying up but...I wouldn't want to be banned just for organizing the place so...yeah.

  13. Oh I found a hole, and made it one wider. Near the nether farm. Can this spawn ghasts? We can have a ghast area nearby, would be cool I suppose. I can reinforce the room later with better blocks so explosions dont ruin it. Oh and I found a wither spawn! If you hear a skeleton noise on the main floor, go downstairs.. A wither skeleton should be waiting for you!

  14. I can't see the pics Peps, but sounds cool :) Not sure on the ghasts. They have their own spawning rules.

  17. Probably my vision issue. They are just black boxes to me. I have trouble seeing any of the dark stuff. Why do you think I never go to there without a ton of night vision?

  18. There are no griefings lately to our grinders. That is good but also kind of strange. Will there be a malicious one soon? I have no idea what to expect the next griefing. I am getting worried :confused:
