New Warning System

To help communication between staff we've set up a new plugin that freaksdesign found to handle player warnings, we will be using it from today.

The punishments are handled automatically and for the most part are what we already do, with the addition of fines for first & second warnings...

Punishments increase for every warning a player receives:

1st Warning - $250 Fine

2nd Warning – $500 Fine

3rd Warning – 10 minutes in Jail.

4th Warning – 20 minutes in Jail (burn).

5th Warning – Indefinitely Jailed.

If your balance is less than the fine then it will go 'overdrawn' or negative.

If you're indefinitely Jailed you'll need to talk to either DiggyWig or DigginChickin in game or via e-mail to appeal to be released, in some situations you may be banned at this point. If you are released then any further warnings will jail you indefinitely again.

Staff are allowed to use their own discretion, if they feel something is serious enough (proven griefing, players who join just to spam etc) then they may indefinitely jail a player with no previous warnings, or in the case of Moderators  go straight to a ban.

If you receive a warning you think is unfair, send us an e-mail and in some circumstances (a misunderstanding for example) we may remove it for you. Similarly if you have a warning or two but then turn it around and stick to the rules etc we will be happy to consider clearing your warnings history.

100th Vote

The 100th vote has been cast...

The winner was dragontamer6463 who recieved the 10 Industrial Diamonds!

It happened quite early this morning when the server was quiet so only 3 players got the 5 Industrial Diamond bonus, redkid1, Benzi_Auzzie & kevin09lhs.

Congratulations guys!

Downtime

The server is whitelisted to setup and test Vault, the whitlelist should be removed by 09:20.

UPDATE 9:20 - Vault is set up and running perfectly, the whitelist has been removed!

100th Vote Bonus

We've already had quite a few votes cast through votifier and at the current rate we'll hit 100 within the next couple of days, so we've decided to give the person who casts the 100th vote a special bonus...

In addition to the usual number of Industrial Diamonds the person who casts the 100th vote will receive 10 extras, plus 5 will be given to every other player who is online at the time!

The extra diamonds can't be given automatically but player names will be logged, I'll be regularly checking so I can get them to you asap once the 100 mark is reached.

Good Luck!

Name Our Currency!

The economy is here to stay, but, it's a bit long winded having to keep saying 'in game money' on the website etc, so we need to come up with a name for our new currency....

We've had a couple of suggestions so far:

DiggyBucks or DiggyDollars - Jav0330

DiggyQuids - DigginChickin

If you'd like to make a suggestion then please make a comment below and we'll run a poll in a few days to pick from the best ones.

Downtime Tomorrow

There will be a short downtime and the server will be whitelisted for about 10-15 minutes tomorrow morning after the 9 am maintenance. This is to set up and test Vault, a plugin which will give us more options for adding new economy related features.

If you know of an interesting plugin that...

1. Is Minecraft 1.2.5 / Tekkit Classic compatible
2. Support Essentials Economy or Vault

...then feel free to send me a link with some info!
