Plea to be unbanned / Re: Rcodes10 ban
« on: July 08, 2014, 11:42:15 PM »
After much discussion, we've decided to reduce your ban to a seven day ban, starting from when the original ban was placed. This means that, from the time of this post, there is six days and 19 hours remaining.

We've also patched that bug, so if it was an honest mistake on your part earlier today, accidentally doing that will have no effect in the future.
If it was actually intentional earlier today, then it won't matter if you do that again, so don't bother trying it out.

All things considered, I do hope, for everyone's sake, that these were accidental.

Thank you for taking the time to plea.

I believe you knew what would happen due to our conversation yesterday. I can see the commands you typed in both instances, and although I can see the one yesterday being a typo, I have a hard time seeing this most recent occurrence as being anything but malicious, given the player you were attempting to add in both instances.

Your plea will be reviewed, and you'll get an answer within a few days.

General Discussion / Re: EULA
« on: June 21, 2014, 08:30:19 AM »
And without donations, Famcraft wouldn't be able to stay up. :(

This isn't the case at all, Famcraft will still be here even if no one donated a single penny again. We've got some ideas in the works that are EULA-compliant, and in the spirit of the new EULA, will benefit every player on Famcraft and make it even more fun to be on!  :o

However, I'm not saying much more than that; There'll be an official announcement about it that goes into more detail some time next month.

Also: As per the new EULA, there is a way for us to allow donators to keep their previous rewards and permissions, we do plan on utilizing that. So if you've donated in the past, your rewards will stay after the changes take effect on the first of August.

General Discussion / Re: New Minecraft EULA and Famcraft
« on: June 17, 2014, 11:43:03 AM »
The new EULA is less restrictive than the original one that has been in place for quite some time already, Mojang is just getting ready to enforce their EULA more than they have in the past.

As far as donations and rewards for donations goes, there will have to be some changes, yes... But Famcraft is in a much better position than many public servers, and players here probably won't notice much of a difference in the way things are done after the changes come into effect.

If I had to speculate, Mojang's laywers were probably hounding them to enforce their EULA so they re-read their original EULA and knew it wouldn't work out well, so they've come up with a new EULA that allows ways for servers to pay the bills. The old EULA basically said getting any money from a Minecraft server was a violation, so this new EULA is definitely a step in the right direction, if anything.

I really like the vista one of the Grand Canyon you did!

I tried my hand at a bit of touch-up to it with some more color, some contrast in the clouds to make them stand out more, and a bit of sharpening  :o

General Discussion / Re: Question about the Popularity thing.
« on: April 29, 2014, 11:47:45 AM »
This is true... But I'm gonna say no still, since its coded into the host's system; unless its a specific option somewhere; but hey, prove me wrong Kealper  ;D

Although we do use a hosting service for the website, it's a general website host, not a specific forum host (those are bad). This gives us all the flexibility that we would have if we were running the website on our own servers. (We do not run the website on our own servers so we have our services separated out, in case one goes down, the website and the Mumble are still online.)

SMF is just our forum software, like phpBB, XenForo, IPBoard, etc to name a few others. These are things that are able to be installed on to any webserver that can support it (PHP, some sort of database server, etc). Our installation of SMF is quite customized with various things, and the user popularity thing can be disabled, we've just never had an issue big enough to warrant disabling it.

If there's enough people who don't want it there, we can disable it though.

Famcraft Survival / Re: Second Anniversary Clan Home Giveaway!
« on: April 29, 2014, 05:37:26 AM »
A winner has been chosen!

The winner will be announced later today, after we have them set up with their new clan home! Another post will be made here officially announcing who the winner is once they're set up.

For those that are curious and are interested in programming, here's how the winning entry was drawn from a list of all entries:
Each entry was placed into a file, one entry per-line. The file was then put through a program I wrote that utilizes a hardware random number generator which is capable of generating real random numbers, not just the real-ish "random" numbers that the average computer is capable of. The source code for this program can be found here: http://paste.kealper.com/view/NUVwl7bX
The program is written in a language called Go, and requires a Linux computer with a hardware random number generator installed.

General Discussion / Re: More coding issues for eGI
« on: April 28, 2014, 12:11:46 AM »
There were a few things that were iffy about this, although I'll highlight the big ones.

The while loops were terminated with a ; when they shouldn't have been, which took a bit for me to spot honestly, and it was making everything else not make any sense at all, causing strange issues all over the place.
The rooms variable had the wrong scope, so once you set it the first time, it was not acting correct any other time after the first time.

Sticking with DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), I've cleaned up the code a bit so it will always go in to the while loop at least once, and only make the correction message if the data entered is not correct.

Fixed code, tested and working:
Code: [Select]
import java.util.Scanner;

public class HotelOccupancy
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        final int MIN_FLOORS = 2;
        final int MIN_ROOMS = 11;
        int floors = 0;
        double totalrooms;
        int occupied;
        int vacant;
       
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
       
        while (floors < MIN_FLOORS)
        {
            System.out.print("Enter the number of floors the hotel has: ");
            floors = keyboard.nextInt();
            if (floors < MIN_FLOORS)
            {
                System.out.println("You should have at least " + MIN_FLOORS + " for the hotel.");
            }
        }
        int i;
        for (i = 1; i <= floors; i++)
        {
            int rooms = 0;
            while (rooms < MIN_ROOMS)
            {
                System.out.print("Enter the number of rooms on floor " + i + ": ");
                rooms = keyboard.nextInt();
                if (rooms < MIN_ROOMS)
                {
                    System.out.println("You should have at least " + MIN_ROOMS + " for each floor");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Plea to be unbanned / Re: plz unban me
« on: April 21, 2014, 06:25:59 PM »
ok i understand im sorry i was just wondering if there was anything i could do to get unbanned before 5 days because that seems like a long time. i could help people on the server with anything for free! anything to get on this awesome server!  :)

Your ban will not be lifted early, you will have to wait out the full five days. You've griefed the same person on more than one occasion, and it is clear that your first two-day temporary ban was not enough. If you're caught breaking the rules after your current five day temporary ban is over, you will be permanently banned. Please take the time to review our rules while you wait.

i told slapthesam that it was my buisness who i talk about and not to tell you because i dont like to hurt feelings.

Perhaps the best course of action then, is just not spreading hurtful things about other people to begin with.

Plea to be unbanned / Re: Unban plea

Thank you for taking the time to plea, and for being honest.
It seems as though you realize the mistake you've made, and I feel you're being sincere in your apology.

Your ban has been lifted, welcome back to the server :)

Please make sure to go over the rules once you're back, because if you're caught flying again, there won't be a third chance  ???
