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.

@CowMuffins: Awesome. Just got back. Saw that a couple people joined. 
 
Just tried to reset the server, but apparently I can't. I may try to figure out how if people are disliking the current... state of things. 
 
...But I'm playing right now, if anyone wants to join.

No worries. Was just looking around anyway. Was actually idling when you shut it down.

I had to reset the server and start from scratch. We pretty much destroyed any possible canvas for creativity. ...It was really fun, though. 
 
I want this new server to be more creative... and less destructive. But, again, I'll let you guys all decide where it goes.

@FunExplosions: It will go destructive. There's no way around it. Explosions are fun. But there was creativity yesterday too. Creativity and lots of lava.
 
Can we make another huge staircase down to the bedrock, or is that considered too destructive?

Crikey, I miss the destruction mad GB server!  Just had a little play on the Rawcritics server and got gang-abused for not understanding all the millions of rules.  Apparently you're not allowed to ask for directions, give directions or SPEAK THE NAMES OF SHRINES.  I spoke the name of a shrine and got a million 'WTF WTF' and '*facepalm*'s.  ER, SORRY GUYS.

@bibamatt:  @LordAndrew:  @Killroycantkill:  @bibamatt:  
Crap. I think you guys tried to join just now? I had it down for a couple minutes. Try again, if you're available. If you can't get in, could you do me a big favor and post what time you were trying to connect at? I hate that you can't see post times in blogs. 
 
Edit:  
@LordAndrew: Hah, yeah, I imagine it will. And that staircase was awesome. I feel like the random lava sky pillar and numerous gigantic holes in the mountains (and water) kind of ruined how awesome the good things were. This is it, though. This server will be the only one, unless someone griefs it, of course.

Damn. I think the settings might have changed. Try the IP address:  76.173.30.66: 56150 
If that doesn't work, I'm going to shut it down for awhile until I figure it out.

Alright, everyone. It's 4 o' clock here. I'm gonna say the functioning server will be up by 6, if anyone wants to give it another go. I'm gonna go take a break from this headache for a half-hour.

This is great. On the creative side of things, we need to make some balls of steel. Bigger than Tested's balls, if they're still standing.
 
Edit: I just opped someone, it works. I'm wheedler, btw.
 
Edit: Not sure how big Tested's balls are.

And I just saw that it disconnected you. It said "Outdated client." ...Or did you just log off?

@FunExplosions: I tried to connect, and it told me my client was outdated. It didn't kick me off the server. Technically it was the server that was outdated, as I had updated just before trying to get in.
