kimbuck 746 Posted April 14, 2018 Decided to potter around PA7 for a look... the spawn area was like a university campus bar after an all night party...bodies everywhere. Found a cluster of tombstones...some with the same name and guessed predators ... yes the wolves were baying for more blood ..didn't take them on ...left them for the adventurers following After wandering around found a nice little bay with access to easy stone..and started a base only to find out i had circumnavigated the island and was almost back at spawn! NP .. just make the base extra secure and cross ones fingers .Well it didn't take long ..saw someone with a "macho" sounding name log on... later someone else arrived and asked me if they saw who griefed someone else's ship ...recently. Only 4 on line me, this person the "macho" sounding one and the guy whose ship had be "decorated". Anyway was just about to pace the final blocks to make my place secure when the macho one arrived...wielding a Sabre.. and ran towards me so i pressed No.2 on my keyboard and a Sabre popped into my hands .... and he stopped and looked ... he didn't respond to my greeting in chat and instead ran towards my base and tried to get in .. However i was following him and now in the Protective barrier field and sporting a crossbow.... he had a change of mind and cleared out. Later, after he had logged out went for a scout around... all the standing avatars at spawn had been killed. The supply of flax that was put there with a sign to borrow and replant... was all harvested and so was all the plants around spawn. I checked out the public workstaions area and again .. all been slain. So if some admins want to now who this guy is ...well i cannot prove it was him, but then there was no one else on line/around at the time ... but send me an IM ... and you can look out for him and judge for yourself. ....

kimbuck 746 Posted April 16, 2018 Two of us have decided to work cooperatively on PA 7 server... we built adjoining bases and made them secure...but its a battle ... the grounds are becoming littered with idiots with the generic names who arrive, and try to club to death anyone/anything in sight, even though its "supposed" to be explore orientated. Of course what do you expect, and i am sure all the official servers are the same. I had one visitor who was not aggressive, but watched as i was attacked by 3 wolves, and then looted my corpse..... unfortunately for him the 3rd wolf he was unaware of and it got him, so i looted my loot back ..but only took what was mine. Another visitor arrived and wanted top cooperate and instead tried to steal out of my base and got worked up because all my chests were locked. He accused me of stealing al the resources and demanded i give him some ...even though there were resources a very short distance away ..i guess you get lazy avatars.. I dropped something outside my base and as he went to grab it, rushed inside and locked the doors. When he was unable to get back in and squat, he swore at me and left. kids! they should not be trusted with a keyboard. So far the bases we have set up have survived ... the PB will NOT protect you from an aggressive attack if outside your residence ..it only prevents people getting at you when offline and inside. Next stage is to mine more iron ore and place barb wire defenses around the perimeter, and stone spikes where these idiots jump onto the base. You dont trust anybody! i have to forgo the girl clothes and wear full body Armour and carry a weapon when outside. Shame we have such idiots in the world... but then if we didn't , who would run our countries? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyler.X 625 Posted April 16, 2018 Shame we have such idiots in the world... but then if we didn't , who would run our countries? I think it will always be like that, you can not trust anyone behind a screen. The other day I was sailing with my boat, I saw a house on an island and there was a man waving, so I stopped to say hello. He just dedicated himself to ask me for things and I gave him what I could, even so I steal what I could from my boat while I was leaving ... there was nothing of value so I did not bother to go for it. Another curious thing that happened to me, was on the initial island taking advantage of the machines left by someone before me, to be able to start my trip. An individual, I wonder if it was my house, which was not protected since it was a fishing hut. He waited, until I left for resources, when he returned, he had placed his protective barrier, but it must be new, because he was hiding behind a tree for half an hour waiting for me to go away In short I am very good people, but I always carry my hatchet, my crossbow and a revolver, a couple of shots always make these people, be kinder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted April 16, 2018 @kimbuck I stopped by to see what your base looked like. I found your tombstone inside your base No body, no loot. And then I died twice trying to get basic stuff together. It seems like the hooligans have been too busy killing each other to take out the wild life.

mid endian 37 Posted April 17, 2018 Thought of a variation of locking someone out after they leave. Lock them in instead, if they have no items they will not be able to get themselves out. Basically, imprison the griefer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Energritz_ 107 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) May i suggest not to use official servers? unmonitored/unmoderated and use community player driven ones. You're experience would probably be a better one overall, that is if you participate with the community itself. Otherwise solo on official servers is fine, so long as you leave the spawn island asap, and things get 80% immediately better when you settle somewhere else.

kimbuck 746 Posted April 17, 2018 BB that tombstone was outside near my ship? i was alive inside.... under that tombstone there floats 2 griefer bodies.... what i did was deconstruct the floor and let them drop into the shark tank underneath then replaced the floor :-) Energritz ... all official servers are the same i am using this one to test anti griefer ideas ...so far they cannot get my ship .. the dock has doors locked and the ship side doors that open flat and lock ... to move the ship you have to unlock and open all doors , and as they are in the PB , interesting to see what they try. there already is one griefer stuck to the stern of the parked ship. crossbow bolts in the but are more than painful, as he found out.

kimbuck 746 Posted April 17, 2018 yes bb that was me ... the guy ran by and i asked if he needed help... he ignored me ...and ran off... then came back a few minutes later with a club and attacked.... i was caught by surprise but stove had arrived and terminated the a-hole. I came back got my stuff, disposed of his corpse under the floor but cannot remove that tombstone ..and i now wear armour and don't offer new arrivals help anymore ... you cannot trust anybody, they ask for something and try to steal from locked chests behind you as they talk"friendly" The chicken has teeth !
