    Okay I was on Ein's server back during the Rapture/Columbia era, and I'd love to give the new nations server a go! Would someone be so kind as to PM the IP?

    I sent some PMs.. sorry Smitenheimer, this is a server that Ein and others have worked hard to make expressly for the PA forums, and you just don't have the accountability in the community yet.

    You should check out the SE++ server or diannaochong's, though!

    I was wondering this a while ago and never tested it so here goes again. I am well aware that boosters are not needed on the server. What happens if, for example, you wanted a one way rail system. Would building boosters that face backwards stop the motion of a cart like they do without the cart mod or would that just be a useless waste of tracks?

    I don't get how you could make a booster that is backwards that works the way you think it'd work.

    Like instead of having a booster go in either direction, you have two going in one direction. Entirely pointless to someone going forward but possibly stopping anyone coming the other way. Just a thought.

    Can minecarts cause each other to decelerate? Placing a booster backwards, wouldn't that just make the traveling minecart pass by a stationary minecart?

    Backwards double boosters can sometimes cause you to either stop or get sent flying backwards. At least on the last multiplayer server I was on.

    I requested the IP a while ago but nothing really came of it, I guess I may be better off cutting my teeth on the SE server and trying again later.

    Though checking the SE++ thread they're pretty stacked as well.

    Wakka, don't let them get you down. Earth is a little over-the-top in their playstyle.

    I'm not in Earth but I definitely don't understand this bizarre mindset of not making weapons and armor first, given the PvP nature of the server.

    Weapons are smart to make, but given how quickly you can go through armor without even getting into a fight, it's a marginally better use for the resources you spend on it than if you sat down at a table and ate the armor for dinner. People get antsy about a mineable resource in a finite world.

    PS guys

    Violating the treaty will never result in a ban. Ein has expressed in Vent that he doesn't give a shit about treaties.

    PPS- proyebat

    He changed the entire rules of the game to what essentially the treaty was to accomplish.
    Now you can be banned and now you are prevented from many of the major treaty issues.

    Let's be frank, you guys should probably just be glad that you were lucky enough to have Wakkawa join your nation and shower him with as much iron and diamond as he needs.

    I'm not being sarcastic here he's an amazing artist and he's going to make your island look amazing.

    Like, Wakkawa, come switch sides to the Fire nation and I will personally make it my job to mine iron and kill Earth nationers for diamonds for you.

    It might be worth making a note of this in the OP, next to the part about posting in the thread for the IP address.

    Lax my ass
    You should provide proof that the other nations are more stricked then yours. Clearly this is not what I'm seeing.

    I'm not one to advocate someone, but I think you should give wakkawa a little bit more respect then what you've been giving.

    There is proof. It's called the Nation Rules thread.

    Some excerpts:

    Water - "All rare/valuable resources will be collected and stored (just tell us you have it or leave it at the tree)"

    Fire - "Don't waste wood ever. Do not use iron without asking."

    Air - "Personal stores should be limited when working in the nation, resources are communal"

    Earth - "We urge all members do turn valuable resources over to the designated people for stashing"


    TL;DR - Our rule is "Please don't waste Iron". Air is more lax, but the other nations are "Don't use Iron ever"


    I'm sorry that wakkawa seems to want to do his own thing on a team based server.

    To be fair, we tend to follow that with an 'until we get more' qualifier. And have largely been telling folks to use their iron to advance community projects at least some of the time. As a community should.

    Of course, I didn't mean to imply you didn't let people use it. All I know is we do not have enough Iron for everyone to run around in their own personal suit of armor.

    I really wish wakka would join the Earth Nation forums so we didn't have to go over this in the public thread - so I'm going to drop this.


    But if I see someone from Earth running around in a suit of DIAMOND armor, I will murder him and give it to our treasurer for safe keeping.

    First, who is our treasurer? Second, just to be on the safe side, do I HAVE to give valuable materials to him or can I put them in the chests myself? Shouldn't make any difference.

    Oh, I see. Well I put the little iron and diamond I found into a new chest, all the other stuff in their respective chests. I hope no one has a problem with that, after all most of them were empty anyways.

    The fact of the matter is that resource rarity is an issue. One of the big things we did the other day was to all write up our constitutions so that players could read them before signing up for our nation.

    I have no sympathy for people who signed up for earth after this, and don't understand the flak they get when they go around dying in full iron suits of armor.
