14 hours from now because nobody lives in britain

I really like the idea of a small world border SMP that gets cleared and location swapped every couple of days. That sounds unique and something I'd be more invested in.
edit: vouch but i think this warrants it's own server. maybe replace freedom-02 with this?

The other thing is any anarchy gamemode must be actual anarchy. Not just reduced rules, but full on no limits on hacks, language, etc. That's anarchy. Or better yet, we could create an entirely new gamemode from scratch.

↩  You! i dont understand the logic here

no, i dont understand what you mean

and timmy fucking died

My country is fake, millions of people are malnourished, unhealthy, around half of everyone here has a dangerous disease that has decreased life spans, and general health. A large number of people are too poor to afford basic human rights such as shelter, education, and healthcare. I have a connection to this because fuck america

↩  burger If our military has the power to "destroy them if we really wanted to", then why has it taken 20 years, 2 trillion dollars, and thousands of lost US troops for America to finally decide its not worth it?

Because our goal was never to destroy them?? Our goal was (supposedly) to facilitate the creation of a functional and peaceful democracy in Afghanistan. It's taken twenty years and trillions of dollars and the lives of many US soldiers because two of the past four presidential administrations didn't want to end the conflict for some reason. It was regarded as not being worth it early on. In other words, because the US has a knack for not admitting when it's wrong and taking a long time to correct mistakes.

↩  burger I was more so pointing out the fact that this is an eye opening event for countries who have for a long time considered America's military to be unstoppable.

No, it's not eye-opening at all that a badly planned military operation will go badly. The strategy/reasoning/etc behind occupying Afghanistan was faulty, so the occupation of Afghanistan also ended up being faulty. It's not so much losing as it is us realizing that it was a huge waste of time, effort, lives, and money, wasn't getting us anywhere, so we take our ball and leave. We aren't retreating, we are withdrawing our troops because the whole thing is fucking stupid

↩  burger We're not fleeing from the Taliban, we could destroy them if we really want to, but why would we? This is withdrawing because it's just not a worthy investment. Any war with China (and NK) would most certainly end up being a global conflict, and the United Nations would most definitely get involved.

↩ @'Ryan' Can't the people moderating the plot world just delete plots if players are abusing the ability to claim land? The plots near the spawn are always going to be a commodity, and when you get farther out it seems more obvious when a player is just claiming plots to stop another person from building.

↩  characterslimits So, are we going to pretend 1.17 doesn't exist?

Isn't that meant for 1.18? Unless you use a datapack.

↩  Rex2LostOldAccount yeah it's just sad that american lives have been lost only for the afghan forces to just give up without a fight. All the sacrifice was for nothing

↩  You! or, how about, because we're a freedom-based server, we just let ops get the amount of space they want?

My opinion is that the Afghan government folded like a napkin without even putting up a fight. We shouldn't have even been in Afghanistan. We invested thousands of our troops, trillions of dollars, weapons, etc to help their military and it wasn't enough because quite simply they didn't want to fight for a system they don't care about.

It was a complete waste of time, and this was going to happen whether we left ten years ago or twenty years in the future. America shouldn't put effort into fighting a war that the Afghan government/military doesn't want to fight themselves.

↩  lyicx i swear that was like two whole ass decades of fighting only for them to dip and the taliban eat that shit up like its fuck all

We didn't just dip, it was a gradual scaling back of military presence there that has now effectively completely ended. I feel bad for the people there but if their own troops won't fight then there isn't much we can do other than just stay there forever which is incredibly stupid.

tl;dr
feel bad but it was a waste and they won't even fight for themselves so why should we

↩  videogamesm12 What if you want more room but can't get more because all of the other plots surrounding yours have been claimed?

This is why OPs should be able to merge plots, and if there aren't enough room/surrounding plots to merge the required space, then they can go somewhere else.

↩  videogamesm12 And it's really the only viable option if you're swapping over to a whole new system. I'm sure the world would be published to download.

I've never understood the reasoning behind stopping ops from using the merge command. If someone is abusing the merge command, they get their plots confiscated, but don't force players to beg an admin to merge plots for them.

↩  ThePyroManActualAccount Yes but there will be sufficient notice, and I'm sure it will be made available for download for people to save their builds and such.

This is the type of expansion I want. Sacrificing TFM seems to be a very taboo subject for some (perhaps because they see it as some sort of purity test for freedom) but in this case, it allows people to get more of what they want. Building plugins are a lot easier to do in a separate plot world (as seen in servers like Builder's Refuge etc). Better options for building is something a lot of people have been wanting on TF for a long time, as opposed to things like Skyblock.

I approve of this.
