This is an anarchy server, griefing and assassinating are what you do in this game mode. The server is advertised as a server where griefing is allowed, so why would you come here expecting not to be griefed? My experience with minecraft is that everytime I try to build something in multiplayer, it gets griefed, regardless of the rules.

Also, you sound pretty hypocritical, demonizing me for griefing after you griefed my pyramid...

You make it sound as if I am the only jerk on the server. Keep in mind that I'm not the one who griefed your base. Unless the rules change, you will never be able to build something nice on this server, someone will always grief it, because, you know, griefing is allowed...

Why do I like building a reputation as a griefer? Mostly, it's just fun to be well known on the server. Most people don't think of griefing as an evil plague on the server like you guys seem to. I also like when I meet other griefers (such as Aglow) and we become friends (even though he tried to betray me ).

maybe Minecraft needs Jail blocks. set a sentence and for the duration of the period they are stuck in a jail cell. they can do things like draw on the walls throw feces at each other, craft shanks and destroy everything in their cell. anyone can visit them and throw yellow snowballs at them.

I had good relations with everyone on the server until you started causing trouble. Okay, I accept that there is always a chance of being griefed, but you brought the heat on my base and got it destroyed. Your pyramid was mysteriously untouched, all I did was make it match.
Like you put any effort into that anyway, you threw it up in five minutes and I never saw you go near it again.

As far as I see it, it is just a game until people stop playing in the spirit of the game. There was no reason for all that raiding and griefing, and repeatedly killing people. You are not the only culprit but you instigated a lot of the bad vibes on there. Remember that you are playing with other people, so don't ruin their enjoyment of the game just because you are "allowed" to. Having fun at other's expenses is selfish.

Guys, if you play on a free-for-all server you can't really complain if your stuff gets destroyed. There are plenty of servers that have anti-grief mods.

Wow, looks like someone griefed the server itself. What's the big deal? Griefing is allowed on this server.
It's like you spent a lot of time building something up, only to have someone come along and break it. That's just the way the game is played, right?

[WARNING: May be offensive]



It's a controversial topic of discussion, because the server explicitly states griefing is allowed. Obviously, I don't want my base griefed either, and I fully understand how it feels (I saw the aftermath of what we and arararararaseseses started together, Libervurto, and it hurt).

Maybe we should all just become griefers and grief everything everywhere. That sounds like a lot of fun!

@TheComet — to be fair, that was pretty funny. They didn't just wreck the place, they created something magical! What was all that church stuff about? Very weird. And telling people to steal money to donate to the server, what the hell!?

@ToffeeMouse — That's a shame. This is what I was saying though, if that was actually part of the game and you could do something about it then it would be interesting. But it isn't, and I don't care what the griefers say, griefing is not part of the game. It's like stealing money in monopoly, yes you can do it, but it is breaking the game and ruining it for everyone else. If there was some action you could take within the game against people who steal monopoly money then it would be part of the game. You can't do anything within minecraft to prevent or punish griefing, the only thing you can do is punish outside the game or protect through add-ons which restrict the game.

Sounds like the attitude of a serial killer or a terrorist.

Call me crazy, but I'm sensing a little sarcasm here.

Excuses.... Also, don't downplay your actions like that...

Quote: "Like you put any effort into that anyway, you threw it up in five minutes and I never saw you go near it again."


More excuses... Also, I didn't "throw it up" in 5 minutes, I carefully planned it and spent more than an hour on it...

But more importantly, what purpose was there to tearing down my creation? I was indeed slightly depressed when I logged in to see that my work had been for nothing. According to you, "Griefing is cowardly, needlessly destructive behaviour." I fail to see how your griefing is okay and mine isn't.

Quote: "you brought the heat on my base and got it destroyed"


I really don't think that's true, it was destroyed by some wandering griefer. After all it was totally exposed, extremley close to spawn. And what actually got griefed? The house looks just like it did before the griefing, all I can see is that someone burned down the trees .

Quote: "you instigated a lot of the bad vibes on there"


That may be true, but honestly I think it's boring to just build the way you do, it feels pointless. Conflict is fun.

If a mod is reading this, please change my name to just "Inflictive", thanks.

You are right, it was cowardly of me. I was angry. I apologise.

Quote: "After all it was totally exposed, extremley close to spawn. And what actually got griefed? The house looks just like it did before the griefing, all I can see is that someone burned down the trees ."

The entire farm area was destroyed, the house was partially destroyed (yes it was not completed when it was griefed), the trees and hedges were burned, all useful items stolen. I guess it was too close to the spawn, but it was such a nice location I didn't want to move.

I thought having no region protection at all would actually create a cold war scenario, where no one wanted to grief anyone else in case they retaliated. But I forgot that people with no base can grief too, and griefing can be, and usually is, anonymous.

Yep, griefing is contagious. The only way to fight it is to make it against the rules, or better yet region protection. Half the reason I, and others, grief on this server is because there is pretty much nothing else to do, since anything we build will just get griefed! You could built way out in the middle of nowhere I guess, but at that point you may as well just play singleplayer, or on a private server.

Toffee, why do you have a community manager named "Fu kk"...?
