    We should come up with a way to tell if people are dicks or not because he might actually be a good guy who just saw something cool and wants in.

    How does one post in a thread which is mostly about a server that they have ZERO access to, in order to build a reputation, in order to get accepted into the server?

    You guys pretty much keep lining it up as "guy has one post, he must suck". Yet the past 10 or so pages have been exclusively dedicated to the goings on of your server. There is no other discussion to be had. Do we have to go and show off our single player exploits in the SE++ thread for a while, and then build a reputation there?

    Does having 3 years worth of posts on PA ( in my case ) have any merit?

    I ask these questions, because now it seems you guys are just mocking people who may have a genuine interest in joining you in your escapades.

    I thought the motto on PA and for your server was "Don't be a dick". I thought that was like, the golden rule around Penny Arcade.

    Going to be honest guys, all those little mini rules you have going in the earth nation (like craftin my own armor, weapon, ect) I'm just going to do them anyways. Cus uh, that stuff is silly.

    The short answer is, if you have no friends on PA, are not related to this community, or part of tweakcraft at all, you are shit out of luck because nobody can vouch for a complete stranger.

    I don't know what ridiculousness would make you think 3 years of forum posts wouldn't qualify you. We are talking about a guy who literally registered today and his only post is in this thread asking for the server info.

    The main thing was i posted right before that trailer got posted, and i guess my request got lost in a sea of "Im new, please invite me."

    I wast even aware of a trailer until after i posted. I had just finally gotten back into minecraft ( and got an account so i can play at home instead of on a friends account at his place ).

    So i guess in that sea of things i got kinda lost.

    Edit: Also for future reference Zolinn ( my best friend ) heard about Penny arcade having a server, looked at the Nations at war site, and decided to join PA to post here. I can vouch for him being good... Let me show you the pics.

    http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/22871937/1/Minecraft?h=cdaa37

    The main thing we are most proud of is his Storage facility. You can see it there before and after my texture pack changes.

    He is a far better builder than i am, but im good at dealing with wildlife etc...

    What exactly do you think I am doing with the things I mine. Just tossin em into lava?

    Cus I do remember one time filling a chest completely full of cobblestone which was gone in less than an hour.

    And if I did use those resources on building something of my own, its probably going to be cool. And on the earth's island.

    Wakka, you can make whatever equipment you want with materials you find on your own, if you really want to.

    It's discouraged from making IRON ARMOR with COMMONLY SHARED iron stocks, because people tend to die very frequently and generally it just gets wasted, or worse, given up to enemy players.

    Only time I have died is from a creeper explosion, which I am pretty sure armor would have helped then.

    Came back from my first mining trip (which involved making a nice stair case to bedrock) and I found about 40 pieces of iron and 6 diamonds. Pumped that shit out and was immediately scolded for building basic tools to play the game.

    Took me all of 30 mins to piss people off.
