Let's start out by defining the Code of Conduct.

The Kiwike Code of Conduct

Kiwike requires the sportsmanship and good conduct of its partcipants to function properly. Players have rules to follow, but at many times the enforcement of these rules is difficult because of staff limitations, or just the overall size of the server's population. With a community this large, players are often drawn together from different walks of life, minecraft standards, or accepted behaviour. Players are called upon to not only police themselves, but to look out for other players. The rules can only cover so much, and there are numerous concepts and terms that get tossed around when conflicts or debates arise. Very often disputes arise or escalate from a simple misunderstandingof these terms. The following is a break down of common terms used in decision making, rules, and conduct in Kiwike. This is not a system enforcement.

Types of Rules

Written Rules: These are the written rules of the game. This includes both the forum rules and the game rules.

Unwritten Rules: These are customs, practices, standards, and values not defined by written rules, but are accepted as "rules" because they benefit the public as a whole.This could be either common decency, or following the spirit of a rule. Another way to say this is,"Common Sense".

Spirit of the Rules: Describes accepted standards that are not defined by the written rules, but implied from them. For example, watching someone else break a rule, while not informing staff is breaking the spirit of said rule.

Staff Intervention Rules: The staff at any point in time reserve the right to make decisions based not only on the rules, but on the future of the server, for its overall benefit. However, these decisions cannot be personal, and said staff member needs exemplary reasoning to conduct this act.

Code of Conduct Terms

Cheating: The player willingly attempts to break or ignore a written rule, or makes no attempt to learn the written rules of the game.

Cheesy: Being Cheesy describes doing things that other players find cheap, inferior, or in bad form. Including but not limited to grammar (both on forums and in game), blatant disregard for attempted roleplay, or using bugs in the game to your advantage.

Disrespect: Any action (verbal, physical, or implied) that is knowingly disrespectful to fellow players. This can include moderators, admins, players, or spirits. This can include any of the unwritten rules.

Loopholing: Using ambiguous or poorly written rules to find "holes" in the system that the player uses to their advantage. This includes breaking the spirit of the rule.

Minimuming: Behaving in a way that is the very lowest one can go without specifically breaking a written rule. While doing this, a player may break the spirit of the rule.

New Player Predatoring: The act of taking advantage, abuse, or otherwise disrupting the fun of new players.

Rule Violation: An unknowing violation of the rules caused by ignorance of a specific rule (written or otherwise), lack of experience, or confusion. Players who refuse to learn the details of a rule after unknowingly violating it it are then cheating.


I hope this helps avoid potential future arguements! Please let me know of ny revisions you would like made to this.

Let's Practice:

You are walking through the entryway to a castle, hoping to be undetected, as you are an enemy. Suddenly, the guard spots you and realizes your true intentions.

Guard (hereafter, G): "You there, stop!"
Enemy (hereafter, E): "What? But..."
G: "No buts! Get over here."
E: *Pulls out a set of daggers from within the folds of his clothes*
G: "He's armed!" *Pulls out sword*
E: *Flings one of the daggers towards the guard's face*
G: *Doges the dagger, attempting to re-balance himself*
E: *Uses the temporary destraction to ram the other dagger into the guard's skin, in between the armor*
G: "But... I dodged..." *Falls faint to the ground*

Granted, this is a horrible, HORRIBLE example of it. If you'd like some more examples, just give them to me. I'd feel free to do a mock-battle on the forums, or on Skype if you'd like.]]>

I personally don't like it, but it seems to be an important factor for self-proclaimed 'hardcore' RP'ers. Do we want to recruit these sorts of players to Kiwike?

I don't if we want to move forward towards that end of the spectrum for Kiwike, but I feel like we need a more obvious picture of how the community feels before anybody we consider it further for any options.]]>

I have found a way for me to reduce the 1.3 lag DRAMATICALLY. Now, I won't say it will be back to the way things used to be, as I have had a few spikes here and there, but for the most part, I'm running smoothly doing this. Before people ask, yes I have a good computer and with the normal minecraft client I am getting around 2 fps in-game.

With that being said, I had decided to try using the TechnicLauncher's version of vanilla minecraft, and when I did, I got amazing results. Now, I'm not entirely sure if this will help everyone by using the vanilla launcher in the TechnicLauncher, but it certainly helped me a plenty of other friends, so I suggest you try it. If it helps, you're welcome. If not, well, at least I'm silly in my own little thread.]]>

Yotta, can you please fix this, several other people have also had this problem according to Mystia. Also it it at all possible to roll back my inventory similar to rolling back the land (namely to 12:15 AM PST, 9:15 Swedish time)? I lost a nearly full set of diamond armor as well as many other miscellaneous items that I don't want to loose because I used a command that turned out to be broken.]]>

I don't really care what happens to it because it's not extremely close to our nation, but I'm just putting it out there for the mods and admins to decide to do with it.

EDIT: I found more lava, it might be someone else:

There used to be red wool in the missing blocks of the Keep, which is now gone.

This is the lava gate, which has been opened.

And two huge 1x1 towers.

And blocks of Obsidian blocking town members' houses.

I don't know how an out of city player could do this, but if anyone could come and block check today that would be great. Thanks. ]]>
