Hey! For those of you that don't know me, I am AmericanSniper, but you can call me anything you want as long as its appropriate :V. Basically a little background on me, I come from another server that is considered to be a bigger network and I was staff on there for about a year or so until I resigned during this summer. I played Factions starting in about 2013 and haven't stopped since then. Anyways, here are some of my tips I would give to any new (or older) players! 1. Get to know people on the server. Once you find a group of people you like and trust it becomes a lot more fun and a lot easier. Try joining a faction, but seriously, just ask. You don't have to spam 1,000 messages into the chat because honestly all it does is annoy everyone and make us not want to invite you. Keep it reasonable and just ask politely. 2. Try mining and farming. Like actually mining. If you take some time to go mining, I can promise you that you'll find a lot of resources (since the map is generally new) and you can use those to get more items as well as money. Just have patience. 3. Ask questions. Believe it or not, not everybody hates humanity and is willing to help you. Whether it be because they are striving to become staff, or is generally a nice person, you most likely will get an answer. 4. READ THE /HELP! This mainly goes for the older and more experienced players. Literally take a few minutes and read the /help and all the commands. You will not believe how much you will find out just by doing that. Read the commands and you'll be amazed at what you find. 5. I honestly have no idea what this is turning into, but dont RAGE or get MAD so easily or call people mean words or names. Okay, just because you are having a bad day and you want to take it out on something, it doesn't mean that you should just try to ruin someone's day. Just think about who is on the other side of the computer and I've seen this way too many times and it's really starting to bug me how people think its okay to make someone else feel bad because they can. Just imagine, what if the other person is having a really terrible day, like their dog died or they broke up with their girlfriend or got a really bad grade, and they just want to get on Minecraft or a video game to cool down and zone everything out. I think the last thing they want to hear is you being a complete ***hole to them. How about instead you stop trying to push them down and try to bring them up. And what makes you think its perfectly fine with saying all the hate and mean things. Do you want to be responsible for someone else's suicide (in extreme cases)? Just think about that next time you want to start ranting and hating on someone else. Anyways, if you are still here then great for you! I am surprised to see you actually read up to here and I hope you take into consideration the things I mentioned. On a personal level I'd most rather see #5 put into effect because it kills me to see any type of bullying Thanks for the time and I hope to see you around! (feel free to message me in-game about anything!)
This is helpful, and I 100% agree to the bullying part. You dos a nice job posting tho, I'm sure it will help some people.
I honestly had no idea I was going to end up lecturing but I mean I just don't get how you can be so rude and so... I don't even know. Thanks though :V (if anyone actually ever does read it because I doubt many people go to the forums just to go and check out the threads)
