kimbuck 746 Posted November 30, 2018 I make it a practice of visiting spawn island to clean up the rubbish left by "once-lers" and to replace items pillaged by others. I get to see typical behavior... Firstly there are the ones who have read about the P1 servers here and come in to enjoy the community .. they are excited to be greeted, and often say " this is the first time i have met friendly people on a server ..." Then there are the ones who arrive...run around and "punch" everyone and everything.... try to enter every building and "punch " the doors if they are locked. They will pick up and remove plants from gardens ... and when you ask if they need help ... they run off and either hide in the forest ..or sit in someone doorway and go offline. Then there are the types who go to the help stations and take EVERYTHING from the help chests ..(eg 8 shovels 8 sades 8 axes 8 hammers 8 bedrolls etc.. and when all gone they then go offline somewhere .never to return. Of course you will get some with offensive names ... they arrive and never move from the spawn point, their intention is to be a "crude or offensive advertisement" Now ..if the devs could come up with some sort of "admin" power that could be deputized by the grid owner to certain players, then these offline for days trolls/etc. could be removed without having to take the entire server offline . But at least we do get some good people who come and stay! So drop into P1 pve ..look around ... ignore the corpses and rubbish and join us on discord so we can give you instructions/directions to find a lace to create and become part of a healthy community. There are notices around spawn landing point to help. Seeya there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyPa553ng3r 72 Posted December 2, 2018 If I'm being honest, I don't mind the ones with offensive names. Some of them are hilarious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bojo2736 1016 Posted December 2, 2018 They are funny sometimes. I have banned a person though, because the name crossed the line to hate speech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbuck 746 Posted December 2, 2018 Some names are clever and funny, but yes, its the hate speech ones and also the historically offensive ones that need to be culled. Also the ones that copy-cat a famous identity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimbuck 746 Posted December 3, 2018 I logged in to hear some fighting outside my door ... some guy had been trying to knock my door in... an useless attempt as the house was under PB! .. then then another Kid-iot ran at me and tried to kill me .. and was surprised hsi punches had no effect. I told him combat doesn't work on a pve server.. and he used the B... f.. words at me and ran off. poor vMax... he ran into the center of the island and i decided to follow to see what mischief he could get up yo ... but lost sight of him.... i could hear a wolf baying and headed towards it .. and alas... poor vMax ...was now in peaceful repose, resting in a pile of his stolen goodies with a wolf sitting on top of his corpse. What i find amazing is ... the server is advertised as non-combat and pve friendly...and there are signs all around spawn advising it ... you cannot miss them ... yet these kid-iots act like they didn't know,, There are non so blind as those who choose not to see....

kimbuck 746 Posted December 5, 2018 Decided on some fun ...i put a doorway and a locked door in a cliff face just inside my barrier...and so far in 2 days have had 2 visitors try to dig behind the door...outside the barrier... to access any tunnel or room underground. Of course there is nothing behind the door .....................................runs away giggling .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimbuck 746 Posted December 13, 2018 Is it school holiday time? getting waves of new arrivals ...usually in pairs who run around and jump and circle you then look in every container... steal plants .. then try to steal any ship .. and when they find things are locked ... they then look for a doorway or passageway ...sit down to block it and log out ... I now have signs warning theses immature visitors that if they have not moved after 24 hours ..( when server maintenance is due) .. they will simply be removed from the game. So they are not griefing or causing anyone any inconvenience ... just to themselves should they try to come back and find they are excluded from the server.

bojo2736 1016 Posted December 13, 2018 Technically not excluded from the server, I don't ban on this behavior. It takes a more active trolling. Christmas break is coming soon, make sure you lock up your valuables and unmentionables! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimbuck 746 Posted December 16, 2018 For a giggles i made a "devil ship' that will behave un-predictably when attempts are made to sail it ..or board it ----- It was placed near my docks just outside my protection barrier, and in a considerably safe place. I returned today to check things out and lo and behold .. the ship was gone ... ie "borrowed" .. despite the signage warning against stealing. A quick search of the island found the ship...stranded between two shoals where it got stuck and the "borrowers" couldn't work out the controls to move it ..so they abandoned it i wish i could have been on line to see them take it, as this ship has a "tendency" to travel in conflicting circles against the helm instructions I also have the idea of trying some scripting... where if you take the ship without disabling a hidden switch, a powder keg detonates under the helm ..ooh but then the thieves would accuse me of griefing! Anyway, if you going to visit my bases, behave and do not abuse the hospitality ... that room you try to break into or object you take might be your undoing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
