Best Posts in Thread: Are Meepcraft Staff Corrupt?

Whew, good thing they didn't notice my spawned in money.

 

In absolute seriousness, it is time to put this to rest.

As said in the other thread, there was no bribe, the rules were not changed in his favor, and he was rebanned after the miscommunication. End of story.

I'd highly suggest working towards determining sarcasm in good humor from actual information. The idea of no one being with me while I gather materials stems from conversations in my town chat.

I maintain my balance, town, and administration position for one reason, and one reason only: It's fun. Forgive me for any perceived abrasiveness in regards to this, but I have worked day in and day out on this server. Personally, I have logged on every single day for the previous two years. . . every single day. . . to some platform of the server, the only days I've missed being in-game directly are those when the server was down for the 2017 reset. In this two years, I have tried my absolute best to improve the server. Granted, I have made mistakes along the way; it's all part of it. As of my writing of this, I have completed several thousand modreqs, participated in the creation of more than thirty editions of the Meeptimes, written the outlines for dozens of projects around the server, attended all but two staff meetings, been present at every single interview save for one, written dozens of suggestions, overseen many projects from start to finish; such as tutorial; Halo's new spawn and map updates; the new towny spawn; and more, and above all tried to make playing on Meepcraft an enjoyable experience. This isn't a list to brag about myself. It's just an example of what one person on this staff team puts into trying to make it enjoyable to play on. Not to mention, this is a volunteer staff team. There are absolutely zero rewards for any member of the staff team, and we intend to keep it that way. At the end of the day, it has always been about giving back to the server, and making it a pleasure for everyone else.

It is far from easy to find the balance in being a member of the staff team and also a player. First and foremost, I remain as a player as well as a staff member. In my experience, the best way to decide on what works best for the server is to play it for yourself. Every step of the way, the struggles anyone in the community has have also been mine. When we went through the 2017 reset, I lost hundreds of hours of work, and the deep memories of the experiences I had within it right along with everyone else. I grinded with my friends mining in mesas for gold in order to found our first town. We laughed and cried together when weather was re-enabled unexpectedly and our beautifully paved roads were buried in a blizzard. Drilling away underground, I mined up the iron, diamonds, redstone, and more to build with. Every cent of my balance has been earned the same as everyone else. Voting, grinding jobs, playing minigames, completing quests, selling items, building machines, and all the rest sound familiar? Regarding my shop, I gather every single item myself, whether by creating it or purchasing it from others. As a result, my stock runs low sometimes, and things run out. All part of it. Towns like Legend don't happen overnight. Here's a picture of my town's land when we first settled it:

Working for the previous year, many players right here on this server built their town together to live in. It's taken months upon months of work, but here's how it's come:

All done by hand. The game is supposed to be fun, so why shouldn't it be fun to do things?


All in all, this thread is a disrespect to hundreds of thousands of hours put into this server by a volunteer staff team that only wants things to be fun. Granted there are issues, but aren't there always with any group of people? Simpy give it a rest. The more time that has to be put into dealing with inanity, the less gets put into making the server better for all of us.

 

.....

 

You do realize that didn't happen and horne was rebanned
Jesus christ

 

Like if you cried

 

I will break it down for you sweetheart.

• Paragraph 1

I wish that was the case of bribery, could've hoped for a partial amount of that be invested into the half working serverand the rules were not changed so he can be unbanned since the same rule broken is still there.

• Paragraph 2

If staff are seemingly hesitant to speak on matters it's because they do not know the full situation themselves, publicly speaking when you are unaware of a situation yourself will cause more negatives. Furthermore when it comes to generic matters like suggestions I myself and numerous others have said the API plugin is being worked on and is the top priority, there is so much that can be done with one tech.

• Paragraph 3

Our staff is welcoming and helpful to low ranked players the same amount as the highest. Yes they have less perks because it is an insentive to go to the next but if you look at recently added or modified perks you will see the lower ranks are the ones that have benifited most in recent times. There are plans for a boost in what players reveive that will benefit high and low ranking players such as gadgets and possibly pets to ensure you get more enjoyment from the money you put towards the server.

• Paragraph 4

Yes there are Trello cards and a section in slack for issues on the server, some are able to be fixed immediately and others not so quickly. I will put it into simple terms as to why the API is so important right now, we will be able to implement additions easier without them breaking so much, minigames alone are not possible to add right now for example.

• Paragraph 5

We have this super cool feature called a chestshop plugin, this allows players to create stores through signs and chests. We also have a plugin that allows players to create player warps and when buddied up with a players chestshop if the pwarp remains popular you can make a lot of meebles which is the servers currency. Not only that but if you buy and sell prices are liked by most you will have a self sustainable inventory where items are flowing constantly to and from the chest itself. Voting also grants a lot of money so take advantage of it before it's modified! Thought I'd be the first under fire for corruption since I joke about it 24/7 but in all seriousness Cluelessclutz is a nice person and would not do such things due to his morals.

I'm all fun and games but there is no need to target other children and see no reason to bash those putting time and effort into a server that has minimal investment and do not receive anything in return. I for one continue because there are those play this server as a getaway from problems in life and am happy to dedicate my time on this server to benifited theirs.

 

Honey
No
Its to make you buy more ranks to support the server
Honey
Use your head a little

 

??? does a rat deliver your news? ??

Anyways staff is definitely corrupt, when I was staff I would follow people as a /dis chicken and mess with them. Lots of money laundering, lots of illegal pet trading /s

ALSO for the RECORD cluelessklutz owns one of the biggest, if not The biggest, town on meep so you can log right off bucko

 

I'm kinda happy Erebus posted on this thread. Now I can read through the entire thread and have another good laugh for the day.

 

Oh my gosh. Buddy. You need to stop posting comments right now.

STOP POSTING YOUR LIKE to POST ratio is going down the drain.

 

I thought this was a meme thread ;-;

save it for staff comments

 

first off, surprised you have the audacity to come out and post this makes me really wonder about you sometimes

if i were to answer your question i would say no, what you've asked is meepcraft staff corrupt? simply put no, i know some of the staff and they are great all around people let me tell you that, on the other hand there are some power hungry staff members out there but i wont go into names, regarding the situation it was a select few members so i've been told, which does not sum up all of the staff team, mistakes of one does not reflect to the staff team as a whole, but to themselves in my opinion

futhermore, not all staff can write in javascript

 

Why stick to the one meal when you can choose a variety, greedy I know. Women, men as long as I'm satisfied.

 

I think I gotta go scrub my eyes now

 

>A community blows up a situation before they’re informed.
>Community gets informed (even though they don’t need to be. Because ban information has been private for nearly forever).

Sure, the situation blew up before it could be properly maintained, and it was explained in multiple great posts on that thread by staff members.

Staff have this big mighty cloud hanging over their heads called leaking. You go mess around in the cloud and stuff comes out, you get demoted. When staff talk about a lot of stuff behind the scenes, it’s hard to avoid leaking. We’re volunteers, and players just like anyone else. I don’t really fancy leaking staff chat to break the rules and explain the specifics on a ban on someone, when that isn’t any of our roles (nor was it completely explained to some of us).

What do you want us to say on suggestions? I can see if you maybe want more in the denied section, but “Accepted” means it’s been accepted, I don’t see what the issue with a simple “Accepted” is. That great Trello you mentioned also had progress updates on projects, but as someone else already mentioned, API needs updated.

I love when people say we’re biased. Explain. Point me to a situation in which a higher ranked player gets preference over a lower ranked player. Let me grab a tissue for everyone who wakes up today and wants to be the victim. There isn’t bias, it’s ensured by the staff rules. Honesty, look at the perm bans and even the blacklists.

Also, staff are not allowed to handle situations involving themselves. So it’s already dissuading just by the system.

You should probably look into situations before you go calling someone corrupt with absolutely 0 evidence. Of all the people you could have accused, clueless has played an insane amount of hours, runs the largest town on the server since the reset (and the town members do loads of everything). And the guy is a red stone god, he can make an automatic farm for just about anything that can be automated. If anything, the man deserves applauded for the absurd amount of efforts, not accused of cheating.

Take for granted an amazing team you have for this server instead of insulting it with accusations and 0 proof.

 

actually i know for a fact that meepcraft staff are corrupt because once reggles deleted my creative plot and replaced it with iron bars so i started a reggles riot and then he put it back only after a server wide uprising so i think thats probably enough proof

i actually have another example of the corrupt staff



staff members shall not be engaging in homosensual or heterosensual activies, completely innapropriate for a staff member @Kling how do you explain yourself this is in rule 17 of the staff ammendments

 

How does that make the staff team biased against lower rank players?
