General Discussion / Meet Chip
« on: February 23, 2014, 07:56:42 PM »
This is just a small note I thought I would put out here.  I've had offers to meet different players during my travels around the country.  As much as I love meeting fellow Famcrafters, I think I need to set a couple of rules.

I am in my 40's and it's kind of strange to be meeting our younger players.  So for our players that are younger than 17, if I'm in your area and you want to meet me, please have a parent contact me.  I will not meet any player younger than 17 without a parent present.  Meetings will be long enough to say hi and get a picture of you and if under 17, you and your parent.

I do send all pictures to Anna so she can see you too.

Thank you for understanding.

Players that I've met in person:
Micahdg
Rowan (Mathfreak)
Jimmy (Thearchitekkit)

Players I've known since before coming to Famcraft:
Kealper
Thoatt
Jenny (kc8mat)
TheZombieFreak07

Just thought I would share this.  This picture was taken in Minnesota and honestly was the best conditions I had all day.  Thankfully, I'm headed to better weather :D

Sell your products/homes / Jenny's Pixel Mall
« on: January 05, 2014, 03:19:42 AM »
This isn't a mall that you can buy shops from, but one you can buy pixel art from.  Jenny's art is not your standard Minecraft art.  Jenny's art has been used at Spawn.

How it works:

1 - Choose a piece you like
2 - Negotiate a price to have Jenny or Chip come and build it on your property.  Don't expect it to be cheap.  Again, these are not
     every day Minecraft pixel art builds.
3 - Allow up to one week for the build to be complete.

Purchasing rules:

1 - We supply all of the materials needed
2 - Pay half up front and the rest upon completion
3 - If you don't pay, the art will be removed and half of your down payment returned.  One half of the down payment will be
     kept for the time we put in on the build and materials we may have had to purchase.

Custom/Request rules:

1 - Request for a custom piece will be considered and researched.  But no guarantee that we can do it.
2 - If we decide that we can do the custom piece, a price will be negotiated.
3 - Before a custom piece is started, we expect a non-refundable down payment of half the negotiated price.  If you are not happy with
     it, we will attempt to make you happy.  But if we can not, we keep the down payment for our time and materials.
4 - Custom pieces may take longer than one week to complete, depending on the piece.  Once we know a time line, you will be notified.
5 - Once a custom piece is completed to the customers satisfaction and payment is made, the customer is responsible for getting
     it moved.  Donors are free, non donors must pay according to the WE pricing here http://u.famcraft.com/19

You can find our mall by visiting the Faxanadu Mall.  We are located in the front - left shop location.  From there you will take a stargate to the mall.

New piece are added weekly, check back often.

General Discussion / PS Grid
« on: December 14, 2013, 11:30:49 PM »
I have a mass of precious stones that are only 20 blocks apart and I'm planning to completely redo my entire area into an overhead grid.  How high up should I put them.  I do have things that are more that 64 blocks high (1 building at 128 blocks).

General Discussion / To the parents of our players.
« on: December 02, 2013, 04:40:35 PM »
To our players, if you would like to show your parents what Famcraft is all about, please have them read this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm writing this to the parents of our players that like to know where and who their kids are playing online with.  Your child found Famcraft, one of the safest servers for a minor to play on.  We, unlike many other so called family friendly servers, make our players play by the rules we have set.  Punishments range from simple kicks or muting to let a player know they were caught doing something very minor to permanent bans.

Our rules are, for the most part, common sense.  No swearing, no stealing, no defacing another players property (called griefing), and no killing another players animals.  We also don't allow modified game clients that would give a player an advantage over another.  We hold all of our players to these rules, no matter how long they have been with us.

We have a large compliment of staff to help enforce the rules.  All of our staff is extremely friendly and are not allowed to play favorites.  The first thing a new player see's on Famcraft is a large number of staff AND players warmly welcoming them to our great server.  After the new player reads the rules, they are given a tour to learn how to use many of the plugins (modifications) the server offers to help make their time on Famcraft as fun as possible.

Famcraft is an economy based server that teaches kids about working to earn money, buying and selling of items and services, and negotiating better prices.  Our rules teaches them to interact in a positive way, to pull their own weight when working in groups, and to be honest.  We pride ourself with the kind of players that chose to stay with Famcraft.  We know that we have the best of the best players here and let them know every chance we get.  We find that players who can't follow rules or are just out to make trouble, don't stay long.  They either bore quickly from the lack of mischief on Famcraft or are removed by our staff quickly because of the mischief they cause.

Famcraft is completely free to play on.  There will never be any requirement for any kind of payment to play here.  Players that do donate to the sever do not get any special treatment with the rules.  Regular players, donators, and staff are all treated equally when it comes to the rules of Famcraft which is what makes our great server better than the rest.

Thank you for taking the time to read this note to you.  Please feel free to send me a private message with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Chipw
Staff member and father of 2 players.

Sell your products/homes / 1/3 of Super Spawner For Sale **SOLD**
« on: November 20, 2013, 08:28:59 PM »
I'm selling my portion of the Super Spawner system.  As more and more Famcrafters become millionaires, more and more money is available to be made.  The person the purchases my stake in the spawner system will receive a third of each subscription sale.  This equals 333,000.00 each time.

Responsibilities for maintaining include:

Improving the system from time to time
Sharing the cost of adding to the system to make it better
Keeping the system cleaned.  In other words, checking the chest once in a while and straightening them out once in a while.
Help keep repairs up when needed.
Making sure the other two owners are paid when you receive a subscription payment.

Currently, the system's assets are:

Maxed out iron, spider, zombie pigmen, and wither/skelly spawners (16 spawners each)
witch spawners
slime spawners
creeper spawners
Ghast spawners
Blaze spawners
Meat farm - 6 cow, 4 pig, and 2 chicken spawners
Double tower enderman farm
Log farm
And our main lobby with Stargate access to everywhere in the system.

I'm asking 10 million for my stake in the system + access for me and my wife Jenny (kc8mat in game name).  I have much much more than that invested.  If interested, please PM me here or /mail send chipw [message] in game to set up a meet time to make payment.

This asking price is firm, but it won't take long to make the money back.  If you are a current subscriber to the system, I will deduct what you paid for access.

Sell your products/homes / The Mushroom Mall
« on: October 28, 2013, 12:13:42 AM »
I'm now accepting bids on shops in The Mushroom Mall.  The mall can be seen by going to /warp mall then use the stargate at the end of the BLUE hallway.

There are 40 shops total.

16 of them are 9x9x9 (floor to ceiling is 8 blocks, but one layer of the floor can be removed by the shop owner to put in his own).  These are located on the bottom floor.

The rest are 5x7x4 (floor to ceiling is 3 blocks, but one layer of the floor can be removed by the shop owner to put in his own).  These are located on the top floor.

The shops are numbered P1 through P30 and C1 through C10.  The C shops can be bid on, but the winning bidder is decided by me, not the amount.  The reason for this is to allow those with less money a chance to win a shop.

Bidding will be as follows:
P1 to P4 start at 15k
P5 to P12 start at 10k
P13 to P16 start at 5k
P17 to P30 start at 1k

C1 to C19 start at 500

Visit the mall and pick the shop you wish to bid on, then come back here and place your bid.  Bidding will end on Friday.

When placing your bid, please put the shop number you want in the subject line.

Shop owner rules:
1 - Killing a Mooshroom is considered griefing and will be delt with accordingly.
2 - Shops that are inactive or unstocked for 30 days or more will be resold.  Items in the shop will be moved to storage for the owner to pick up at their convenience.
3 - shops may not be used as storage.
4 - Shop owners may NOT sell their shops to anyone but me.  I will only pay the starting bid price to recover the shop from you if you decide to sell.
5 - If you have been evicted, you will NOT receive a refund of the starting bid.

P17 - chktnightshade

Super Spawner System

Need EXP, maybe the materials needed for brewing potions, or maybe your looking to make more money at your job and need a fast way to get iron and gold.

Why not check out Famcraft's elite spawner system?  Why 2 or 3 million of your hard earned cash on only a couple of spawners when you can save money and have access to over 20 million in spawners?

In our spawner system, you will find Iron Golems, witches, blaze, ghast, pigmen, spiders, endermen, creepers, skelly's, and wither skelly's.  Most of our spawners are at max capacity and we keep adding more.

All of you tool crafters, we have you covered too!  Rather than running your own tree farm, you can just use our log machine.  This will cut out having to maintain a large area of land for trees, no more finding ways to climb up to clear leaves, or worse yet, waiting for them to just fall.  Just load up our machine with your jungle and oak saplings, toss some bonemeal on them, then collect your wood.  No leaves to clean up and no need to take a large portion of your land to have your own farm.  As a bonus, you can use our skelly spawners to get all the bones you need for making bonemeal.  No more going out and battling skelly's and getting shot up or trying to find someone with bones/bonemeal for sale.

Maybe you enjoy a good battle.  You can visit our ghast farm and take on the challenge of fighting off fireballs.

The Super Spawner System is owned and operated by Famcraft staff members. JrAdmin Camel, SrMod Chipw, and our newest partner SrMod Hobo.

So, why not use the spawner system that other spawner owners use.  FamCraft's elite spawner system.

General Discussion / Looking for a little help
« on: October 11, 2013, 12:02:48 AM »
Hey gang, kind of hoping you guys can help me out by sharing a gofundme.com link for me.  This is for my daughter to help raise money to send her to Europe next summer with her violin class.  She'll be 12 years old and it would be an amazing trip for someone her age.  I just can't afford to do it on my own.

I'm not looking for a "Daddy Warbucks" to fund the entire thing, just people willing to donate a couple of dollars.  :)

I'm not asking anyone here to donate, but I am asking that you share this link on facebook or any other social network you are on.

Thanks.

General Discussion / Slow News Day(s)
« on: October 09, 2013, 07:46:28 AM »
Since the last few days have been slow news days, thankfully, I figured I would share what states I've dragged Kealper to..

Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, California, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas...  So far...  He's been taking a ton of pictures and I'm sure if everyone begs him enough, he'll post some here.

Today, we will be adding Oregon to the list of states.

So, what I want now is for everyone to tell me the cool places you've been to.  Personally, I've been to every one of the lower 48 states, plus Mexico and Canada.  I love my job :)
