[EU] Small Tekkit server starting up
EDIT We will begin playing at this time, assuming Mumble is up by then.
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a small group of people to join me and a couple of friends on a server I will be creating sometime in the next 48 hours (depending on how soon a couple of people have letten me know they're interested). In case you'd like to start playing before then, I'm doing a bit of a 'beta-test' on my laptop, and if you've got Hamachi I'd love some company and/or help.
*Rules: *
1) VoIP is required. That's Voice over Internet Protocol, so programs like Skype, Ventrilo, TS3, or in our case most likely Mumble. Right now I'm just getting plugins and such set up using my laptop and Hamachi, but when I buy a proper server price will be important, and Mumble's generally the cheapest option to provide a push-to-talk button.
You don't have to talk (more than once, see the next rule), but you do have to listen. Always. Every time you're online. No exceptions. Well, possibly a few exceptions will be made, eventually, but not for the first week or so.
2) You need not be mature (I'm not), but you'll have to act it. Rather than set an arbitrary age-limit I will, for the time being, require that your voice has turned, since that'll hopefully prevent people from getting a headache from the effects of the previous rule.
Should this rule be changed, anyone who already has access to the server will keep it (unless they're the reason I'm changing it in the first place).
3) Do. Not. Grief. Ever. This is a teamplay server, so unless we've decided as a group to cooperate about making a big mess of things (somewhat like this), or we've agreed to split into teams somehow, harming any other player or what he's built without permission may well result in your being banned. Warnings may be given, but aren't guaranteed.
If this sounds boring to you, move along. Pass the street. Find another server. Feel free to post about how lame you think I am, though - bumps are always helpful.
4) No cheating. No exploiting bugs. Self explanatory, really.
I'd rather not disable EE, and simply banning any players who abuse it's flaws between now and when they're fixed is probably easier than trying to fix 'em myself.
5) Languages allowed: English and Japanese. And I don't expect you to know Japanese.
Still interested? Well you're still reading, aren't you?
*How to join: *
First off check that you have all of the following: Tekkit (or rather the Technic Launcher) Skype Microphone Speakers/headset/some other form of sound output Computer Keyboard Mouse
Next, fill out this form, and post it here or PM it to me: **IGN: ** **Skype: ** **Language skills: ** *Anything else: **
Once I receive it you'll be subject to an interview (though whether or not it's got more questions than "got Mumble or need help?" I cannot say here) after which I'll let you know the connection info.
*) This field can be used for making me aware of such things as your planning on making one or more youtube videos, having extensive experience managing a server, being willing to pay for the server, being fond of funny cat pictures, having a european-hosted server with the exact same rules, wishing to be a moderator, being willing to help me test out things via Hamachi, or.. well.. anything else.
Except for the unsolicited moderator application (which I'll probably just ignore) and fondness of funny cats, you might also want to add me to Skype (handle: Runiat) for any of the other examples to speed things along - just be sure to mention that's why you've added me, or possibly send the entire form with your request.
TL;DR: I took the time to write it, you can take the time to read it. If not, you do not want to join this server, or even play the game /jedimindtrick.
PS: Sorry for the lack of clear paragraphs, but reddit doesn't seem to accept empty lines..

Does the EU stand for a European server? Im not sure how that will affect the lag I might get.
Yep. In my experience cross-atlantic connections add about 150-250ms to your ping. Not sure how badly this effects Minecraft, though.
I can test it out i guess.
