Whiskey Media's Official Minecraft Server

Server status: [Online]

HEY EVERYONE X2, FUCK

Server is brand new again! Again! And again!

SERVER RULES

  • Must be 18 or older.
  • Must be a member of Giant Bomb. Must have been a member for more than a month. Don't tell your cousin's nephew about the server; I won't add him. Ask me, and maybe I'll make an exception. They still need to be 18 or older.
  • Don't touch other people's things unless given permission by them.
  • Do not build view-destroying sky castles or sky bridges.[1]
  • Don't pour lava from high places, it's ugly and difficult to manage. Don't build your name out of blocks. Don't build a giant stickman taking a piss. Don't build something really out-of-character near or in someone's themed town.[2]
  • Do not attempt to deconstruct others' works if you feel they have broken the rules. Tell me, then I'll look into it.
  • Do not pester or bully new users.
  • Do not burn trees down. Fire spreads.
  • If you leave the server for over a month and have a project that is unfinished and that blocks usable space, then it will be taken down, unless a sign is erected saying when you will be back.
  • Minecart tracks are to be built at least 15 blocks underground, so as to not disrupt the view or clutter up possible building space (kinda like the real world), unless your project makes more sense above ground. Ask if you're unsure.
  • Portals do indeed work, and they take you to the Nether, but please refrain form building too many. There are a couple set up in each major city, but too many and things will get out of control.
  • Have common sense.

[1]
If you're wondering why there's a rule against this, it comes from me playing the game awhile. Basically: every new user wants to create a floating city, or a railway, or an air-bridge, or a floating castle. In moderation, they could be great (and yours could be one of the good ones), but in reality, every single person has given up on them, in the process creating a really generic hunk of view-destroying rock. It's basically just me trying to keep the server looking nice.
[2]
This may seem confusing at first. Basically, you can build wherever you want, as long as there's room, and as long as you don't disturb anyone's stuff. If you're unsure about building something somewhere, just ask around.

How to Get in

  • Read the rules above. Private message me questions if you have them.
  • I'd prefer a private message, but you could just comment here and request to be whitelisted. Make sure you tell me your Minecraft name!
  • Put 207.210.253.107 into the "Multiplayer" section from Minecraft's main menu; put whatever you want for the name of the server.

@eccentrix: Hahah. Awesome. Your computer did slightly better than mine does during those blasts. And try to get in now, if you want. Don't know what the problem was, but it should work now.

I discovered something shocking about Vacation Island today. But then the problem resolved itself.

You know what I like about the Island Committee? They don't ask questions.

It's on an island that I had decided to call Vacation Island. I later realized that it wasn't as island-like as I had initially thought, so I decided to fix it. Not by changing its name, but by making it an island.
 
I don't know if anyone else has ever been there.

I've been to Vacation Island, and I too wondered about its status as an island. I'm glad this issue has been resolved.

Thanks. A couple people connected while I was asleep, but apparently it did go down. It's up again. 
 
For clarification: the reason it goes down and I don't know about it, is because my internal ip address intermittently switches out a "3" and "0" on its end. I don't know why, but every time this happens I need to re-forward the ports, so that outsiders can access the server. If anyone knows how I can remedy this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Really enjoyed the bit I played last night!  My internet was all over the place, so I had to leave at one point as my connection was making everything go bananas.  Will hopefully be popping on later to continue my work on The Pit if anyone's around?  I made my little brick house (very basic at the mo) and started work on the glasshouse that juts out the back, inside the waterfall. 
 
Can't wait to see how work has progressed since I logged off!

I can't upload the Burning Man video because the file's too big. However, I have set up another man for whoever gets there first to burn. Just the one with torches, though, not the proposing one.

@PufferFiz: It's saying that you have an outdated client. Because your client version doesn't match what the server expects. Was there another update? The server doesn't know about it, so it assumes your client is out of date. Hopefully that gets fixed so the server doesn't always assume the client is outdated when it's actually more recent.

I think my minecraft updated when I booted it today. Not sure if it was yesterday or today though.

well I didn't release the back up jar files that I made where that of an older version, and for some reason it didn't update itself. But I had another back up I didn't know I had that was the newest version.

I'd donate.  How much would be needed?  I guess I'd donate an equal amount to everyone else.

It depends on whether FunExplosions wants to continue or whether we want to go dedicated. Maybe find out where the majority of our users are located to reduce ping? I know there are more UK Whiskey users than anywhere else.

I'm not sure if there really are more UK. I'm sure the US has the strongest hold in Giant Bomb, although the UK seems to be the strongest in the server. I'm down with whatever. I'd imagine the split is even enough that it really wouldn't matter where the server was. 
 
So yeah, people, if you're down to donate towards a new server, PM me and let me know. I'll add each subsequent person to the PM. I'll make a list of names and divide the cost to give you guys an estimate. I obviously won't commit to anything without letting you all know. Maybe we could have some kind of build-off to vie for co-ownership of the new server. 
 
For clarification: The new server will not erase the old level. It will simply provide with a stable and near lag-free environment.

I'm Canadianesque. Giant Bomb seems to be American primarily, with folks from the UK coming in second.
 
What sort of costs would we be looking at for a dedicated server? I'd be cool with donating some moneys, maybe.

added a sign on the front of the stadium, if you helped build it, add your name or make a new sign next to it.
