This is a time, a time when not only the triarii must band together, but the entire population of those server.
I'm going to give a lot of people an order, not forth greater good of me, but for everybody. If you've got the resources pitch in!

Osh, wyrmalla, etomb and warthog. You guys are skilled at bees so I'm going to need you to get as much pure bees as possible, warthog your armoured with quantum and storm is quite armoured so you two defend them from zombies and wisps.

Matapata, 4oursword and grundz you three are very rich so make crystal capacitaters under thexwatchful eye of anvil, so you don't end up leaking it back out with resourcing the crucible. You guys are strong so I'm guessing defence Wong be necessary

Anvil, xeriapt, darkinnit and not_u, you guys know a lot about nodes, take the capacitaters and bees, fix the flux around the
map. I'll help defend you guys.

Everyone with silver wood saplings, we may need them, I'll be donating mine, will you be donating yours?

Lastly, for the new guys on the server or justvthose who choose to wear iron armour, your going to need to move to a better area, where there will be people to defend you from the zombies and wisps, might I recommend three possible places, the blue tower, the sky pillar (my tower, in the sky age) or storms fortress (no name as of yet to my knowledge)

I know I'm not the most liked person but this is needed against a disaster like this the aura is embarisingly low and tge flux is killing people.

If not you, who? If not know, when?

I think you're making quite the mountain out of a mole hill there.

errm, no

See this? That is one of the reasons why people are getting pissed off. You're giving straight orders, and it's not that you're giving orders accidentally, you know that you're giving them.

Don't order people around; make kind requests (there is a line between request and plea just as there is one between request and order) and people will be more likely to help. An order is not only exceptionally rude (especially since you have 0 power to make people do what you're telling them to) but also heavily implies that they're going to be under someone's beatstick - in this case, yours.

Request that people try to help out IF they can, and IF they want to, and let them work at it at their own pace and to their own specifications. If you spot something that might not be as efficient, then tell them about it, but don't tell them to change it; it might be as harmless as "I'm used to doing it this way", which in the end could be faster due to the fact that they're already used to how it all goes together, whereas someone who has to re-learn something will cause any project to slow.

Or, if you're making grand declarative statements in order for them to look silly and overblown, make sure that you overdo it in the right way (and make sure everything's grammatically correct).


Things like

FRIENDS, COUNTRYMEN, PEASANTS! LEND ME YOUR EARS! THE CHICKEN MENACE MUST BE STOPPED! If YOU see a chicken, report it to the High Pubah Overlord of the Server immediately! Their reign of feathery terror MUST END!


Y'know. That sort of thing.

It's not yet reached crisis level yet. Plus, we don't even have our facilities set up fully yet. Once the various Towers are finished, maybe we'll be able to do things like that.

1: I don't actuallly understand what the problem is.
2: I highly doubt I care what the problem is.
3: If I did care, I would never fulfil an order for you.
4: If I did fulfil the order, it would be for something pretty damn good in return.
5: Nope.avi
6: Commanding statements like this are why people throw so much flak your way.
7: People have attempted to help you in the past, and you have basically ignored their sound advice.
8: I have never seen or heard of the Triarararararari doing anything as a team. It's pretty much just you.
9: I don't do Thaumcraft. I cannot create any of the crap you wish me to.
10. NO.

I hope this clears things up.

Fun fact, I may have a lot of bees in a backpack somewhere, but that doesn't necessarily mean I know what they're for.

Anyhow, back to kicking trees and hoping Cardmon drop out of them. ...Wrong game.

4, aura in thaumcraft is what powers most of the thaumcraft arcane-devices like the repair enchant, arcane bore, arcane levitater and many other things. So its the equivelant of EU from IC2, the mod you seem to adore, what if all the EU you produce simply dissipitated, that's what's happening now, our armour isn't repairing it's harder and harder to combat it.
Now worse, is the flux, which I'm sure your familiar with.

Also wyrmalla, sorry I thought you a new guy.

Sorry I meant bee guy, not new guy, damn auto-correct!

I don't so much adore IndustrialCraft, rather I loathe Thaumcraft. On the flip side, I prefer mods which offer real rewards without poor design and silly risks.
If I wanted functional magic, I would play Tekkit.

And if my emc disappeared? I would wait about two minutes for my sustainable power generation to refill my stocks.

Pimp, ordering people about is not the way to go

Incorrect. Flux goes down every time a flux event occurs (such as spawning a wisp, thunderstorm, zombie, status effect etc). However, the unstable/dark/vortex nodes also generate flux, so it depends whether flux is being released faster than it is being generated.

What usually causes a place to be stuck with permanent high or dangerous flux is when one of these bad nodes is sitting encased in stone underground. It can't spawn wisps or other entities (only thunderstorms) so the flux can't be released as quickly and it builds up.

The node near me was showing "Dangerous" flux for days, but when I eventually found it (Thaumometer really helps) and dug out the stone blocks around it (and then ran away from the wisps ) it eventually reduced back down to "moderate".

However, I think the bad nodes in barrows are more powerful and probably generate flux too quickly to reduce it in such a passive manner. The bees and pure nodes would help there.

Whoops my bad!

How about a suggestion? for pimp. Pimp.... Pimp. Please don't order people around. Thats the God Amlighty Legoburner and (I forgot the other admin of dakkadakka's name :( )

Suggesting it to get done is probably better. I would like to know if anyone would like to let me borrow a filler and teach me how to use it O.o I need to clear out the area for my little underground city. If so thank you! I will give you a hug.... I have alot of resources currently that are depleted so it seems I must go on other questing into a hallow hill. And No I am not using a quarry..... Pickaxe > Quarry Any day.

Also Frozen your loathing of thaumcraft is noted. Infact its quite upsetting your not willing to give it a go. I thought it was revolting till I tired it. There are many useful blocks from thaumcraft, warded blocks and arcane doors, and many many other items that are very useful. In fact i use many items from several mods. Except for power suits and quantum armor, and quarries. because they make the whole game way too easy. I like having challenges so I am still killable and thats why I have locked away my life regen charms (All 20 of them and my other 4 charms of return level 3). Because thats unfair and thats not how you play a game. I will not beef myself up to the level of god. Though a gravsuite is probably the only thing I will need (Apart from a solar hat to power the suit )

If you want to order people about join the military. But even when you have need to order people about it is not that fun... more stressful making sure they actual do what there supposed to.

Thaumcraft is one of the best put together mods I know, much better than IC2, and actually an equally amazing mod called ars magica, is soon to be added, this mod is truly amazing and adds rituals, sacrifices and spells. Funnily enough it's based off thexsame source as thaumcraft and azanor looked over it's creation. Look up the direwolf20 mod spotlight of it.

Actually... The best mod out of all the mods on FTB is probably Divine RPG. but thats mostly because I am biased. (I mean seriously 10 dimensions? 20 bosses? Its fething insane)
That and my personal favorite mod. Moar creatures

Meh, I probably wouldn't bother with single mods... I like the variety of having a tonne of them.

Divine RPG is in our mod packs
Give it a go. There are many tiers higher than diamond. MANY. And it scales from difficult very quickly. Several hundred mobs, several thousand new items. And it makes me cry because its so hardddddddd. Currently stuck vs the Mirthil area. Because i was smart and didn't get the flying armor.

Ok I'm sorry for acting commandingly over the flux situation. But something id like to explore is how it happened, something so big and so fast would surely be non-accidental, so using process of elimination, it could be on purpose. Bit who would? Some ones gotta have a hate towards those who use thaumcraft, say the triarii, and who's behind the triarii (I don't mean I'm the driving force, not at all. I'm saying I'm the founder and someone whos been blamed for a lot triarii related) , me. So someone who dislikes me, that IMO leaves two possible people, the harem and 4oursword. The harem use thaumcraft so that's a no, 4oursword on the other hand well he has a vengeance, he blames me and the triarii for frosto getting banned, as if the flux that he tried to fix was us, so 4pursword is trying to destroy what got his friend banned.

I've had no issues whatsoever with flux or aura nodes being slow to recharge...

Well, that's quite the unsupported accusation...

Here we go again!

Check the flux around your area including the other nodes. For some odd reason thaumcraft has difficulties staying with a single aura and then it takes all the vis from other auras which then leads to flux. Even if your node says Flux: None. There is still flux in the nodes surrounding. The only effective way to create an aura node pure of flux. Is to get pure bees And spread them all over the place. In areas that have high flux build up. I'm guilty of build up of flux... In the Cave age. So the aura node around me is dangerous levels. Only because I have repair enchants. Which means I should probably build lots of crystal capacitors.

Also My one complaint about thaumcraft is there is no additional add ons. There should be more in my opinion. Like the death aspect is missing alot of opportunity. Death and Life are both missing their shine in the light. If they had more weapons too would be great. Like a tier above thaumium that is the equal of diamond but the enchant ability of gold. Because currently I would love to upgrade my armor to diamond but the repair enchant only works on thaumium.

Also more bosses would be great. In general also creating the bow of bone, a necromancer wand, a wand that steals life, a death helm. Currently thaumcraft needs a lot of improvement, but it is easy to learn and easy on the amount of items it requires. Its even a great way to get rid of rotten flesh. (which I am standing on a treasure horde) Also Pimp stop blaming people.

Also I was wondering on the design of my city. O.o any suggestions that are actually reasonable and stupid slander which i seem to get when ever I ask for a design concept (From my friends on facebook they do it to me all the time. hence why i haven't return to their server in ages)

True dat.
Let us all go. And murder cows together in the fields!

You said your place is under ground, right? Maybe having the buildings as stalactites and stalagmites, maybe even pillars.

There are quite a few nodes around the clubhouse and most of them are pretty clean...

I'm in the process of working on pure bees anyway, I have a pure node in my bee base and I've bred pretty much everything I need. All that remains is for me to finally get my edenic and demonic bees to breed into aware bees and then breed those into pure.

Conveniently, I just found 3 TNT Carts! Let's wage war on the bovines!

Also, how would people feel about a portal map mixed with zombie survival?

Also, for future reference, the giant tower at spawn s a zombie grinder.

All the iron chests at the base are full of brains (and the grinder is automated) but if you set an enderchest to white-white-yellow (from memory that's the code) it is full of brains and flesh.

there's also an enderchest in the starter area with the same code (and the actual code written down... think I said the right one, but oh well)

No one that I know of has been using it, so it's kinda just destroying items endlessly now... really need to figure out how to turn that thing off... wireless redstone is on the server, isn't it?

Would be cool. But lets take server projects one at a time. We need help on Rapture.

You have shown time and time again that you do not have the right attitude for this server.

Yet more completely baseless asusmptions (you made the titanic leap to the conclusion that this is purposeful based off... nothing. Absolutely nothing.) Followed by yet more accusations - that are now verging on conspiratorial - against the Harem and 4 simply because it must be, and I quote, 'Someone who dislikes me'. You then try and level further blame against 4 because his friend was banned, despite 4 making it absolutely clear that he doesn't use Thaumcraft, and so lacks any sort of ability to cause any of this.

At least 4 posts have been aimed at trying to get you to see that ordering people around is the wrong way of going about this, and for the most part they have been completely ignored, save for one small line at the start of the post I have quoted here, where you then go off on one about how this must be a purposeful action, and how it must be 4 because his friend was banned.

dark has been far, far more leniant than you deserve, and unless you start calming down, toning down all this conspiratorial nonsense about how everything that goes wrong must be either 4's the harem's fault, and actually taking in some of the constructive criticism you recieve when you act like that, I'm going to start getting Lego involved, because it's quite honestly reached the point where you are actively harming the server and its community in such a way that anything less will not have any effect.

So this time I'm giving the orders, and it's either get your act together, or the community will have it done for you.

Despite being part of the original suggestion that Rapture should be built, I don't know where rapture is!

Also, building testchambers would be better off as being a solo project, as chamber designs could easily clash.

Avatar I agree, me and anvil have been talking about a lot of things, my behaviour for one, I'm letting my personal life leak into social and virtual which has ended badly, mixing that with my personality it's been a gak-storm lately. My personal life has been bad lately, I'd rather not talk about it, but it was told to me that I should relieve any stress I may have before I get better so those to ranty posts were that, relieving stress. I'm an all round cool guy, when you get to know me, but I'm pretty fethed when it comes to communication stutter, dyslexia and others I've got, so I've always been slow socially.

So any way, time for puns! When you say your going to get Lego involved, what are you going to do, build me a kick up the arse joking, joking

no, he's going to make you stand on some

Actually, if the Accords (TRitratii) wanna do something really useful... There's a cove directly South of the Turris. If you guys wanna make some sort of gateway or archway there, and start 'architexturalizing" the shore there, that'd be awesome.

Also, a Wizard's Road- perfectly flat, cutting straight through the mountains (well, there'd be a turn in it) south, then East towards Spawn... That'd be nice. I'm thinking Marble for the road with Marble Bricks as the edging...
