I liked it better when you were banned

 

Let me explain.

You have this notion that whatever you say is fine because you get a warning first. Wrong.

Youre nothing but toxic.
Toxic - bringing negativity without reason. Trolling with ill intentions.

Usually, i dont care. HOWEVER.
You call my staff team bad and tell them theyre the worst staff members.

This is where I draw the line. Heres why.

#1 I dont care about your irrelevant opinion. You know absoutely nothing about what these people do for the server and yet, you speak ignorantly about it in global causing a scene.

#2 You act like its a game of "well I deserve a warning then a temp then a ban". No. You know the rules and yet you simply wish to act up in game and blame everyone else when youre called out.

#3 You bring NOTHING OF VALUE to this server. You do not contribute with ideas, form reasonable posts (on anything except your silly appeals) or start general conversations about anything positive.

You act like "because this person is staff, i have a free pass to talk down to them like they are dirt". Well you lost this battle. No one gets to disrespect these people who actually contribute without facing concequences. Yes, they can take it but no, the dont deserve it and if you think im gunna sit there and watch you tell them theyre awful and ask how they even got staff to start, youre wrong.

This isnt your first rodeo. Im tired of you pulling the "another bad ban" card. Theirs a teason we have to keep banning you and its because you just dont know how to act in a community. Muunkee sums it up in her post. Stop crying innocence when you clearly have no argument.

Really? "Don't be homeless! Buy a house!"

 

I'd say give Kdo superarch because he made Marshall throw a temper tantrum, much respect for the Kdoc.

 

Hey all. I just wanted to make some things clear as I have seen and heard many people "Trash talking" and insulting due to ignorance in the community. I can take some blame for this as I have not explained how it works, but I also blame a few people who have decided to make an attempt to show leadership skill through belittling and harassment. Its pretty sad to see some of these comments from ex staff, but we roll with it as 99.9% of them don't bring any concerns to our attention until they quit like the big bad wolf. So if you want to read this and learn a little bit of the staff workings I've recently implemented, here is the explanation many of you have been asking for.

Ill start with the workings, then go into whats going on.
In the US Military, they use something called decentralized command. Essentially its a way for everyone to be on the same page, while executing the plan they understand without direct command. I've implemented this for Meep Staff in a way we thought would best help Meep. I asked every staff member what they were passionate about on Meep. Some said Skyblock, some said Parkour, some said Lottery, Ect. Some categories were added based on what I asked the community and you all said were the most important, such as "Staff to Player Communication". The staff members that had the most interest were set to this task and have been going around asking players for input depending on what they're known for.

Ill give an example to better break it down. Flamedemond was interested in the lottery plugin. He has been given any and all information regarding the plugin and its possibilities and he has been working on an outline taking other staff and players ideas and input. He makes an outline and sends it to the admins to review. We check over it to make sure its something thats possible and wont use too many resources, or clash with other peoples ideas or projects. We approve it and then it goes on Trello for the techs to look over and be implemented. Obviously Lottery isn't first on our list of priorities so it will wait until the things above it are done, but the lotto plugin (100% thanks to Flame) will be something you all had input in. It takes a weight off myself, and is much better managed because not only is Flame passionate about it, but he has more time to focus on it.

This is what every staff member has been tasked with which is why a lot of times people will ask me about additions to Skyblock of PVP, and I will just say "T3k, Ninja, and SMK are in charge of Skyblock". Because those are the people who you want to express your concerns and ideas to. You can make a forums post about SB and those will be the people who will go looking on forums for your ideas, asking in game, and taking other staffs ideas and making the best SB they can. Since all these tasks are handled my people who are so passionate, it takes them off my plate and lets me focus onthe things I need to like the current ads, updating to 1.12, issues with the server with Fuzzlr, and a bunch of other boring admin crap.

I see a lot of people saying "Klutch doesn't take other players ideas" , "Klutch is stubborn and doesn't listen", ect. The reason these make me so mad is because the ONLY time I comment on something is if its Economy based (which ill explain in the next paragraph), or if someone is complaining and I'm defending the other staff members decision. Most people, including ex staff, will say how unorganized we are; which to be fair, we used to be, but now we have gotten it sorted out and we are working towards a more efficient way of handling things.

The reason I run all eco stuff is because thats what my passion here is, and I dont have a choice anyway. My job in this is to go over everyones pricing, payouts, and balance them all to make sure no one is super nerfed or super buffed. I need to say this in caps and tag a few people so that some people like @MegaStufOreo and @DarkKnight49x can understand that I have not once, not a single time, changed anyones prices or edited them or even said no. I told everyone that I trust them and since we are all now on the same page, everyone like @Flamedemond2 and @Midnight_Galaxy have been coming up with very fair and very organized pricing. My input into their projects has been limited to none as I want them to have all the creativity and passion they can put into it.

Fuzzlr has been a huge contributor and although you may all complain you never see him, he is on every day helping us add, organize, and fix issues within the server. Regardless if you agree or disagree with the way we are doing things, unless you put fourth an idea or strategy I hope you let us try this out and see how it goes. So far its been incredible with helping us get updated and moving on a VERY progressive track. We have had ideas in all aspects that will be incredible updates for you guys.

I hope this explains what you guys wanted to know and I hope it clears up some ignorance issues with players who want to bash from the sidelines while doing nothing but making it harder for us to attract players due to the negativity you push in game, on forums, and on discord. Heres a current list of priorities (with some small additions not included)

1. Updating the server to 1.12
2. Balancing Ranks and Perks
3. Getting Un-blacklisted via the changed above.
4. Updating Towny and adding the suggestions from there.

Not in any order,
We plan to fix PVP and get input on that (No one is in charge of that yet)
Getting minigames working and current.
Fixing all the small things like the parkour plugin and skyblock issues, Ect.

Thanks for reading and understanding. If you have an y input you would like to add or questions regarding, Please PM me and ill send you in the right direction.

 

Meep isn't dying ok. We have a new spawn with a bunch of cool stuff, skywars, so many projects on trello. We have a cool media team who are picking up the pace on creating videos and our lovely architect team who made a new spawn. Meep may come to an end one day, I mean, it can't be here for 100 years because Minecraft will probably die out then.

So to everyone who keeps saying Meep is dying, thanks for sharing your input. You make great suggestions on how it can be fixed. But we could do with some positive vibes.

Hello everyone. My name is jcbetro1011 otherwise known as jcbetro otherwise known as jcb otherwise known as jc otherwise known as j otherwise known as Girth Brooks otherwise known as Johnny Sins otherwise know as JUMBO C___ (Fill in the blank). Anyways, I used to invest my life into this server wayyyy back in 2012 when it was in its prime. Back when there was a player cap of 1000 for a reason. When I say I invested my life into this server that is an understatement. Like, I played this server until I looked like this:

I became a part of the staff serving as a Moderator, then SuperMod when the rank first came out. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable until I started to notice a sort of decline in the server. All of the wonderful staff members I remember playing with and even ones who weren't staff were all leaving the server only slowly start becoming replaced with an abundance of snotty little kids (which is understandable being that Minecraft is kind of a kids game) which is when the server started to become less of a towny/factions server and more of a minigame server. And it's all understandable why those changes were implemented to account for the rapid increase of players and the server was still fun, just not in its prime, but still very enjoyable.

Then the whole MeepNetworks thing happened as well and that too played a huge role in why a lot of great people left for good and never came back to meep as well as the downfall of a great server that had a lot of potential. Now I happened to stop playing before that whole fiasco but I still talked to people who were around for that and pretty much heard it all. Even that didn't change too much because then became the Meep Revolution or whatever tf they called it. Around this point the server had pulled my interest back in because this is when everything seemed to come back to the way it used to and I figured I would on Meep again and regain the fun that I used to have back when I enjoyed playing. So I did and I indeed had a lot of fun and met some new players as well as played with others who returned from 2012 meep. The teamspeak was implemented and started to become used a lot and it was a fantastic addition to the server. So that was all fun until I slowly lost interest in minecraft itself and started to focus on school and other things in life as I grew older.

After like a 2 year hiatus from meepcraft I decided to come back recently and pop in the teamspeak or actual server every once and awhile and I have to say what the H-E-Double Hockey sticks (because I'm sure I'd get a warning for saying the word I really want to say) has happened to this place? I think if other old members from back in the day had come on here and saw what has happened they would have the same reaction as I do. After recently coming on the server/forums/teamspeak I can say this server has reached an all time low both in player count and in quality of the individuals in the current community that I have met. I've probably seen some of the most toxic, stuck up, annoying people I have ever seen lurk the internet on this server. I have seen this servers ups and downs but this is really depressing to see what this server has come to. I have thought of some things that this server needs to change in order to be as amazing as it used to be:






1.) The Spawn

So after actually coming onto the server itself, I have noticed that the spawn looks like it's supposed to hold thousands of people, but seeing that there are only like an average of 50-100 people on a day the spawn is just way too big. Now size of course doesn't matter , but in this case it actually does. I think the spawn needs to be changed ASAP. I can certainly speak for many players saying that some of the old spawns were so much better.

I know a lot of people miss the classic hub styled spawn from 2012:

I like the idea of reverting back to this spawn or at least something like this. This spawn had it all and it was fit for the player count that it held at the time. Everything was close to eachother, the shop was pretty nice, the donator lounge was pretty cool, the Terrarium/Dungeon was an extremely fine addition to the underground area of the spawn and it was just convenient.

Or even the one from 2013 was good as well:


Hell I'd take the old boat spawn from way back in the day:


2.) Unfit Staff Members

Not everyone in the staff is guaranteed to be fit for the position no matter how good their application is and that has been proven many times before on this server. Many people have been staff on here before and have made many poor decisions. I've had many experiences where I've been unfairly treated by staff member due to biased decisions and I'm sure many others have as well. More recently I've noticed many staff members who just act robotic. Back when I was a staff member I made sure that I treated everybody fairly and gave everyone a chance. Some staff nowadays just give robotic responses such as "If you don't like it you can make a post on the forums" which basically translates to "I don't have time to deal with this, just put time and effort into a post that we will probably look at for two seconds and deny anyways." As if they have so many other people to deal with on a server that generates less than 100 players a day. We need a staff that genuinely cares about each player and provides natural responses and can tolerate even the most ridiculous requests of players, because that is how the staff used to work.

3.) Keeping the Server "PG"

I know that this has been argued many times before that the server is way too kid-friendly. But it's ridiculous that even a word such as "teet" has to be censored in chat (I know this only because I've tried to say "BTeets" in chat before). There's not much to say about this topic that hasn't already been said before. But I just feel that it is a bit too much to be so strict about it when there really is a lot worse on the internet for a kid to read.

4.) Combining Towns A and Towns B

So, the only reason the Towny world was split was because of the fact that there were too many players. Now that problem doesn't really apply anymore so I feel that both A and B should be combined into one again if that's even possible.

5.) Toxic Players

Toxic players have always existed on this server but I've noticed that the community has been flooded with a lot more than there used to. I won't go an mention any names because I'm sure some of you notice it too. What I mean by toxic is basically people who just simply have a stick up their butt. People that can't take sarcasm or people that get defensive about everything to the point where they are enraged. I've also noticed many people on the forums and on teamspeak just get mad by even the slightest thing and people like this are just all over the internet but I just see a lot of it on here than what I am used to and it kind of makes the whole player base obnoxious.





I mean those are just some of my suggestions to make this server live up to it's potential and prevent it from going extinct. I'm just kind of mad that I put more effort into this than pretty much any paper I've had to do in college but whatever. I'm sure many of you agree with some of these points and I'm sure a lot of you have some fine suggestions so feel free to include them in the comments. That's just my 2 cents coming from someone who has been on the server for 4 years.

Love Always,
JC
:^)

 

So a few mins ago, I put in /tr (instead of /tc like usual) "(N word) pls". I was temp'd for that, and I'd like to apologize to anyone who was offended by that. I don't mean to post those things in a public chat, but slip ups do happen, and I do sincerely apologize for that.

I will not try to appeal the temp ban, I'll just let it happen.

 

Please keep in mind while reading this, I had no intention on ever sharing this, but I'm tired of false information of myself getting passed around.

I'm gonna start this thread by saying what others have told me why they think I resigned. No, I didn't quit because of dicing, lack of money, or any other item in that vicinity. I didn't quit because I'm "lazy" or didn't want to take the responsibilities of the position. Contrary to popular belief, I really wanted helper because I thought I could make a difference. But ultimately, I successfully ruined my reputation in the course of three days. I sure as hell didn't try so hard to become helper to be popular. I did it for the people. MeepCraft has been my favorite server since 2012. I hate to think that someone would fail to have somewhat the same experience I had. I assure you, my intentions for staff were pure.

Now, onto the resignation part. Honestly, like I stated before, I had no plan to share this ever. This was a very emotionally traumatizing event. Furthermore, I'd appreciate it if you no longer spread rumors about my resignation or correct those that do.

I resigned for very many reasons that piled up into one big one. I have a horrible back and I'm not even supposed to be on my computer for more than an ~hour a day. The amount of time I spent on MeepCraft was undeniably obsessive. On my quest to becoming staff I made MeepCraft take up an irresponsible amount of my time. Overall, I feel disgusted at my own behavior. No person should spend as much time as I did. So with all that said, my back got extremely bad, I had to wear a back brace for a month and a half.

Tying into this, I worried way too much about money on a minecraft server. It just sounds ludicrous looking back on it. The amount of worry, time, and effort that went into my money on MeepCraft was again appalling to me.

At the time, I was fine with sacrificing my personal health for the greater good of MeepCraft. But, in a moment of clarity I realized what I was doing with my life. The only reason I got out of this self-destructive streak is because of my girlfriend. While this may seem foolish, she thought I was cheating on her because I never spent time with her. I don't blame her, we have a complicated history together. But before you start judging, I was planning on marrying this girl. Just hearing her say this, it got too real. I can honestly say that this was the greatest trauma I have ever experienced in my life. I had lost my bestfriend and my soul mate.

I tried to keep my cool, I am usually good with hiding my emotions. But, like I said, this was just too great of a force. This happened to me the day after I had gotten helper. Coupled with Jalapenos resignation, (not it itself, but what he said whilst resigning) it really clawed its way into my brain. I couldn't keep it up, I knew it wasn't healthy but hadn't really realized the consequence of it.

I am truly sorry. I wanted to be a good helper, and make MeepCraft a better place for all. I have failed you, and for that I offer only my sincerest apologies.

@Jess_4Ds I'm sorry for putting you through so much, I want to thank you for being such a great friend to me even when I wasn't to you.

Thank you for reading this, I hope this clarifies some rumors that have been going around.

 

Yes hello, my name Peggy. Please be prepared to read.



==========================================================


I represent an organization of past players. It is not important which one.

Approximately one week ago today, I took on the personality of a savvy, sexy, uni-browed woman of questionable ethnicity named "Peggy", who claimed to have spoken with some skill upwards of 8 languages, although with complete mastery of none. She also lived in two countries simultaneously.


"Peggy" was supposed to be an idea so ridiculous people would either reject it right away or get the joke and move on. I was proven wrong almost immediately; you see, people of all walks - young, old, foreign, domestic, newly-courted and old mainstay staff members - they all were either provoked by Peggy's boldness or eager to know more about her.


And so they did. Peggy had a Skype.


As I drunkenly recorded snippet after snippet of my best pseudo-Russian accent last Sunday night (complete with a pitch-altering effect, to give off the impression I was a burly female) - I created a makeshift Sound Board. I could simply play canned replies to simple questions asked of me over Skype. If I didn't have a particular reply ready to plug into my microphone, I could just type out that I didn't know all the words in English.

The results were highly satisfying.

Although, as I began re-learning the game, so with it came the atmosphere. That dreadfully ... heavy atmosphere. It was hard to breathe in it. I was reminded that this always-expanding Meepcraft universe had only worsened since I last-interacted with it.

I faced a world wrought with a cacophony of vengeful, greedy, cowardly, long-winded illiterate narcissists.

In a word: children.

Children without their keepers.

You see, my modreqs went unanswered for sustained periods of time.

Blatant advertisers didn't always get the boot - neither did PVP loggers, thieves, or the like.

My point being the most simplistic issues of behavior, honor, and even gameplay mechanics went unaddressed for a disproportionate amount of time.

It was inefficiency on a level I had not seen before.

Peggy decided it was not a solution that was easily-remedied and opted to be nice and leave with a bang. Peggy was to host a drop-party; mostly low-to-mid level items as I'd only been around a week or so. I will admit that the haul would not have been huge.

WHAT SHOCKED ME WAS:

Despite my best attempts to muster some enthusiasm and interest, nobody showed up. My pleas of 'Come to Town X, I have free sto0f!' were met with other players' mindless focus on shouting about their own worries.

Even the game itself tried its best to drown me out, reminding me constantly that I should vote or donate.

You all had ignored my offer of guaranteed free items because you simply were not accustomed to the name-tag or the color I was wearing this time.

I wasn't shiny, obnoxious or pushy or red - and the game wasn't telling anybody to do it - so nobody thought it was worth their time.

Meepcraft has become lowest common denominator.


My name was Peggy.

 

This one's for staff

PuckMiner,

After reading your thread I must say I was a bit surprised that instead of replying to the messages you were sent you decided to post half of the truth on a thread. You were valued as a member of the staff team for quite some time. I did not meet one member of the team that had anything negative to say about you other than inactivity. I agree that you were on just hours before being removed from the staff team and while on you were messaged two times which both messages were not responded to. Also during the time on no time was given to helping the community with modreqs, forum staff work etc. When no reply was received you were removed from the staff team and sent a message that thanked you for your great service and you were asked to re-apply when time allowed you to devote more time. As Deljikho mentioned above you were asked about the inactivity on more than one occasion, followed by messages prior to final mail on forums. Based on this the thread you wrote is kind of confusing as I would not have expected a misinforming thread from you.
.
(This is the message you were sent word for word)
"Thank you for the time you gave to the server as a member of the staff team. Due to inactivity we have removed you from the staff team. I hope you when time allows keep enjoying MeepCraft. If in the future you can devote more time to the team please re-apply. Thank You”
.
.
As it states I hope when time allows to see you on MeepCraft. I still think you were a great staff member and great person.

 

I don't mean to give unworthy people my attention but like

Who the hell is blendycat

Why the hell is he staff

If it doesn't matter "as long as he does the job well", why am I not staff? I can do the job well and the staff know that. But would you promote me? Hell no, because of my reputation right? If that's the case, this Blendycat individual got no +1's on his application yet he still got staff. I don't know this kid, and the only thing I've seen so far out of him is random spurts of useless s*** in shout

I don't care thou because this server has long been dead and will never recover fully but like I'm just trying to analyze the reasoning in some of staff's recent decisions.

Munkee is more qualified for staff than any of the people you recently promoted

Part of what made this server addicting is the popularity of the staff team. Back in my days, I was thinking "Damn, all the staff are so popular, I want to be staff so bad! I want to be like one of them". Now they're just random ass people I don't even know or care for, who got accepted because the standard of acceptance is low asf

Give staff to more experienced people who have played for a longer time

/rant

 

Hey Puck, first off I apologize we had to make a decision to demote you; You had a lot of potential and unfortunately it wasn't really being utilized do to being busy irl. I also apologize that we/I didn't message you in advance and say your activity was becoming a problem to the verge of demotion, I do believe you would've taken some effort to make for time for Meep. The issue, however, is that your activity was vastly below mostly every other staff, and when we talked about your activity we kept getting that you're busy with baseball but you'd be more active soon. This had went on for weeks and weeks, everytime I messaged you to say thanks for your work, you'd be clearly obvious that your inactivity was very subpar. I'd get the same response "I'm very busy with baseball but I'll be more active soon". It basically got to the point that we believed you would be better off focusing on irl and not having to bother with worrying about staff. I believe if I would've gave you a warning it'd be mean and unfair to make you take valuable time from your irl schedule just so you can avoid a demotion.

Like I said Puck, you've got tons of potential and I'd really like to work with you again. You're a great worker and a good friend. We just both know you didn't quite have the time to dedicate to Meep this time around. I wish you all the best and I hope you kick some but in Baseball.

 

You can earn the money by going to school, getting an education, then a career.

 

There was a misunderstanding with a player that had posted an imgur link to another player about a funny moment they had. Because the caps filter had changed it, it sent the picture of a naked man to the player, and he had reported it to staff. The player who sent it was wrongfully banned after that for Inappropriate messaging.
And yes, that had happened on the server before.

You guys need to come up with pros and cons about the situation other than just saying "Denied, just use /mail". The alterations continue IN /mail as well.
Say you need to send proof about a hacker in KitPVP and you send it to an admin to check. The link has lots of caps in it, so /msg alters it and lowers the link to be lowercase. It takes the admin to a link with inappropriate information about something, so you get an unnecessary warning because of it.

Just remove the caps filter in /msg. It's not needed.
