Hello everyone,
I just wanted to write up a message here about Staff, why we are here and what we are here to do and some general code of conduct toward us.
We are here to help you.
In saying that, "help" does not automatically mean "give me stuff, spawn me stuff". Think before you ask a staff member to spawn you something, or give you something. Ask yourself "Can I obtain this item in a shop?" Ask a player if they may have what you need, and offer to trade or pay for the item in question.
Staff can assist you in your building projects, we can help you build so long as we are not building the WHOLE thing. We can World Edit some of it for you if asked nicely.
We will assist you, offer advice, and investigate griefs if your land area has been damaged.
- Another thing I just wanted to add is, please RESPECT your staff members.
Staff members - Admin, Manager and Moderator/Inquisitors. Do not question our motions, and do not demand things from us. We have the ability to mute, restrict, jail, kick, and demote or ban if neccessary.
Just remember we are here to help you enjoy your game!
- Lexy.
- xPhoenixXx: For further details about staff refer the following - Also note: how long you play has no effect on being staff. DO NOT EXPECT to get a staff rank just because you have played for a while. Staff ranks are meant to be restricted for a reason. Player ranks were made for rewarding long term players, staff ranks are for keeping the server running. Don't confuse the two.
Staff Roles -
Helper:
This rank is given when a player is nominated by either an admin or several staff members for election to Inquisitor.
It is expected that players with this rank be as helpful to players and staff as possible. You can message a "helper" using /helpop (message). If they fail to be elected to inquisitor, they will remain as a helper unless it is felt they are abusing the rank. If they don't abuse the rank they are automatically included in the next election should a position become available.
Current Helpers:
- None at this time all have become inquisitors.
Inquisitor:
Inquisitors job is to assist players (/helpop) and review and grant promotions, demotions, or jail terms. They act as a policing force interceeding in disputes, or at a role play level assisting in the tracking and capture of player bounties. Think of them as the Sheriff! They are voted to this position by popular vote - and can loose it by popular dissent. Be warned.
Higher staff ranks are tempoarily drawn from this pool of players should staff be unavailable.
Current Inquisitors:
- Coconut_slice (probationary)
- Skulltraill (probationary)
- pig_assasin
- r_a_person (tester role)
- voxelle
- warpig97 (senior inquisitor)
Moderators:
Moderators role is to ensure the smooth interaction between players and the world. They are expected to ostracise players for abuse(of others or the server), harrassment or bad language, and can mute, jail or even ban players who fail to comply. Bans should be avoided if possible.
Current Moderators:
- r_a_person (tester role)
- samhandwich (senior moderator)
- warpig97 (junior acting in lieu of sam)
Manager:
Managers role is to aid in day to day maintenance of the server, the world, and server events. This role includes elements of Inquisitors, and Moderators. Managers can also choose to jail/free/ban/unban players if they agree with a player appeal - but this job usually falls to moderators. Managers can also roll back griefs - if you "forgot" to region claim.

- Quantum_array (lexy's assistant in lieu of drew)
- r_a_person (tester role)
Admin:
Admin staff manage the physical elements of the server, the hardware, the plugins, the game world, the available planets. Subsequently this role is strictly limited to those with physical access to the server.
