    SURVIVAL GAMES CLASSIC Who kills who?

    I've personally always been a fan of the way SG doesn't tell you who killed who, but clan battles is a bit of a different environment since there are large teams anyway. I can see clan battles showing this information being potentially good for the competitive environment. As we get closer to...

    'There are teams in the books and therefore they belong in the game!'

    Didn't know this was such a heated topic these days. o.o I don't really find myself on either "side" of the issue. Players want to play together and have fun, but I personally want to be able to play the game competitively for my own fun, without feeling like I must team to do so. Unless there...

    Block Hitting 101

    While I don't believe anyone should ever be always blockhitting, I'm starting to see some value in starting combos with it as of recent. Given the way Minecraft combat has evolved over time as players learn its ins and outs more and more, I find it to be quite useful even in open spaces if you...

    Using Flint and Steel to negate knockback - Viable or not?

    Would require a very, very specific instance to even consider, so I don't really think it's worth learning. It'll likely never come up. I would, however, like to know why it happens. I don't recall it being this way early 1.7, instead being very recent. Seems strange, though, because I've seen...

    Did the sprint button change PvP?

    As pretty much the earliest adopter fishing rod combat, even the way it's used during combat now is significantly different than my original vision, and I noticed that change taking the most significant turn after sprinting changed. The risks of my initial idea are far greater now with the...

    DECISION TIME: The Consequences of the Yes Vote.

    I was worried my post would be misinterpreted... Never did I say in that post that I'm on the side of not deleting the records. I also made specifically sure to say several times that I wasn't stating my opinion on that at all. Originally I wasn't going to say my thoughts, but because of this...

    Community Poll: Leaderboards Reset with Newest Update?

    Please take this seriously. It happened before with the chest update, and it doesn't need to happen again. A week with it wasn't going to be enough to persuade so many people, nobody likes change right away. It was a decision the community as a whole didn't deserve to make. Don't get me wrong...

    BATTLEGROUNDS Disguise Names Lag The Servers

    Seems to be exclusive to Battlegrounds, so the only thing I can assume is that is has to do with the one thing that needs to pull names from players: The leaderboards. Since these leaderboards are partly a Minecraft feature, it may have to do with Minecraft's scoreboard system, or yes...

    BATTLEGROUNDS Disguise Names Lag The Servers

    Service (MCSG/SGC/QQ/BG/ZC/Creative/Teamspeak): BG (Battlegrounds.) Server Number / Gametype / Region (If applicable): All servers, Battlegrounds, US. Time (With timezone): Monday, July 21st, 3 PM PST. (About an hour to an hour and a half before this report was posted.) Description of the bug...

    What is the sound pack & fishing rod that SixZoSeven uses?

    These assets (the fishing rod texture and the hit sound) were things I put together for this resource pack. The sound is not mine, and sadly I do not know the location of its origin to show you guys, as Sixzo sent me the original to begin with. Someone else made it and I simply modified it to...

    Recently added maps and their structures

    Honestly, there are more reasons than this to avoid stairs/trapdoors/slabs. Something I always stress when people are building maps for PvP: Minimalism! As someone who has played thousands of games and done plenty of PvP, I've noticed patterns: In general, I find it much harder to focus and get...

    Kicking for being cocky?

    And some people don't want others saying "get rekt" or "GG10 eZ" to them. You claim if people take a game too seriously, they shouldn't be allowed to play the game. But right now, you're taking his words and my words seriously on a gaming forum, defending yourself from mine and shoving away his...

    Kicking for being cocky?

    I take it seriously. But I take it seriously for different reasons than being a "butthurt kid"... The way in which I take it seriously is different, though... I understand the seriousness of words, and the problems they cause, regardless of how I personally react or care about them. Do you even...

    FRDM: An interesting, useful, yet highly impractical strategy/concept

    This has been possible for a long time, but I honestly haven't thought of it before. A perfect example of the fact that the fishing rod, or the game in general, still has tricks up its sleeve that have yet to be uncovered. Makes me glad to see people are still coming up with new tricks like this!

    #SaveMCSG

    Honestly, I don't have top of the line equipment or the best PvP skills in the world, but I still managed to make a name for myself. I guess you could say that was primarily because I was capable of inventing a lightbulb: That is, I became most known when I started doing the famous "fishing rod...

    MCSG has NO team limit

    I seriously don't understand why anyone bothers trying to ban larger teams. That won't stop them from making large teams, just from being obvious about it. Because it's so hard to prove, it's really easy for them to find a workaround. Have a team of 8? Go into two 4 person parties and split up...

    #SaveMCSG

    Honestly, this isn't a new thing. I remember last year when the older players were saying the same things: "The community is terrible now! It was so much better in the summer of 2012!" The community grows, goes through cycles, stages. Honestly, the fact that the community feels different might...

    Give People A Second Chance to Apply for Mod if they've been Banned for Hacking.

    In my honest opinion, somebody who has been banned for hacking before shouldn't get the second chance. Mods say it's okay for a second chance to play the servers, but not for mod, for a reason. A moderator could do way more damage. Somebody who has hacked before will be less predictable for the...
