Basically the title. I don’t know if this is OCD or just overthinking but everytime I see a book with a bent corner or whatever it really, really annoys me. Like I can’t get over the fact that the corner is bent. It’s almost like a crime to bend that book.

The same goes for those people that bend the corner of the page you’re on to mark where you are. How can you do that? How?

I had a book with a bent front page and I can’t stop thinking about it. I just can’t get it out of my head. I’m interested to know if anyone else gets this feeling?

Edit: Someone please move this to S and D

@"erin"#107 Congrats!

↩  Luke I had a forum sanction this year? When?

I object for the above reasons.

↩  Folfy_Blue It’s not part of the actual Network itself. It’s just regarded as part of the network but it’s a completely different server

For Eid Al Fitr, the belief is that it signifies the end of Ramadan. I unfortunately don't know any stories behind it.

However, Eid Al Adha is to commemorate the Prophet Ibrahim who was prepared to sacrifice his son for Allah. The story is that Allah asked Ibrahim to sacrifice his son; both Ibrahim and his son were willing to do this. His son was blindfolded while lying down. As the blade was going down, a ram was sent from heaven and the ram was killed instead.

Eid Mubarak to all the Muslims around the world!

As there’s been a spawn set for Eid, a common question has come up:

What is Eid?
Eid in Arabic means ‘festival’ - it is a festival celebrated by Muslims. There are two Eids; Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha.

Eid al Fitr means ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast’. Eid al Adha means ‘Festival of Sacrifice’.

The Eid we are celebrating from tonight is Eid Al Adha.

If you have any more questions, leave them below and I hope they can be answered!

↩  RedEastWood Explain to me how other than the rules. You haven’t even joined the server.

As I stated further on in my reply, the server has clearly been rushed as it still remains on cracked mode. It should have never remained on cracked before becoming a part of TotalFreedom. Cracked has its benefits, but the consequences outweigh them here.

One of the biggest reasons why SMP failed was because people got bored - the exact same could happen here. If this server is updated often with new features and more to do, I don't think it could die as soon as the other ideas we've tried. We could go as far as changing the gamemode every month - having something new will keep people entertained.

My point also links to the freedom server too. The reason why TF was fun in the past was because we got new stuff every few weeks - such as MoveCraft - and these stayed on the server, with the ones not used much being removed. It didn't need suggestions upon suggestions to be removed. This is something we can see from the past and I personally think we should move in that direction for both the Freedom and SkyBlock servers. I'm sure the development team are working on other things right now, but this cycle of adding new features will help both servers to thrive.

However, the SkyBlock server seems to be in a very rushed state. We can see this in the fact that necessities such as the rules have not been updated to align with our standards. I am also against the server being cracked. With the use of AuthMe, players will be able to log in as others under a cracked client and set passwords. In addition, any players that we gain on cracked clients through this server, we will lose on the Freedom server as they cannot join. Most cracked servers can't go on premium lists as well as there are server lists for cracked servers. Before this server became a part of TF, Premium should've been enabled. The rules should have been set. The server has clearly been rushed to become a part of TF, and it's not in the right state. Any announcements should have come when the server was finally ready.

↩  RedEastWood As I am one of those that wish to change the colours of the ranks, my reasons are just for the feeling of nostalgia and uniqueness. That's why I personally would like the old colours restored.

↩  RedEastWood Oh I forgot to put the final part.

What I mean is, the colours hold an image to players of who holds what rank. Who is in power, and who can deal with their issues. The colours are important, they are a sign to show that there is help available for the players.

I am neutral.

Suggestions like these have been posted repeatedly before - but they've not been accepted. One of the reasons is because of the colours admin ranks hold. If someone has a green name, they're an Admin. If someone has a gold name, they're a Senior Admin etc.

↩  simplynick I'm not concerned about the reload of the essentials plugin, even tho "essentials" should give it away and why the reload command is blocked for a reason, what my point is, Ashaz's ways of dealing with criticism and backlash is not good, it puts him at a risk as an admin not just for himself but the community as well.

I've been dealing with it silently for months by talking in DMs with people. How is that bad? I've not left the Discord those times, I only left this time because it overwhelmed me.

If my being here is a risk, then you should file an indefinite ban request for me.

I wouldn't have used "leaving the discord" as a reason if it only happened once but no, it happened multiple times on different occasions and all are for the same reason, arguments and criticism.

When? When has it happened again and again?

I did forget to mention that I have hosted an event and OPs seemed to enjoy it - this was a Gartic Phone event last night.

↩  Ivan It was done in an inappropriate and unnecessary manner. I’d like to know why he deserves his status back

Although I do agree that it was inappropriate to leave like that, at the time I had no choice. I think me leaving was much better than me taking it out into the public.

↩  Ivan I haven’t done much. I have only reported a few griefers, these being to the admins Tizz and Anzu.

↩  simplynick That's a complete lie, you haven't faced every mistake you made straight forward, you rage quitted, had meltdowns, resigned, left the discord multiple for different reasons.

Okay. Let's say I actually did have those meltdowns that you claim. Even if I have had them, I've had quite a good improvement in maturity over the past few months. I've had an improvement in behaviour. My success as an admin outweighs the few failures I've had. I'm not perfect; I am a human, but I am improving.

In my eyes, you don't fit as an administrator for once again, when dealing with situations you're presented to, you performed very badly each time; The Treatment you received was just, you haven't had went ahead and reloaded Essentials, it wasn't your job and Video didn't tell you to do it, its just common sense, you don't reload plugins that are "essential" to the server.

Please elaborate on 'situations' - situation can mean a lot of things here. I've dealt with many rulebreakers, I am trusted amongst players and admins alike. Mistakes have happened and I have accepted them and moved on. If I never did accept them, then this would be maybe by 5th or 6th reinstatement.

I made a mistake, I accept it, I've apologised for it. This is what I do every time, except this time things were worse. From this mistake, I've learnt that I shouldn't try to help in places where I think I should - this is something I know for the future now.

↩  RedEastWood I agree with your post here and I can agree that after this event happened, I did not feel remorseful. However, it has been 2 weeks since the incident happened. I have since then apologised to Video for my actions and the way I treated him. As I have also stated in my thread, it was a stupid thing to do.
