God no, this'll only encourage those people who think diving is actually useful and that they're so badass in their 'SEAL' team. 

Hide yo kids hide yo wife... but most importantly, remember that this is day 2 after the hacking. Not day 0 as people may be led to believe. The data will be considerably less valuable by now, and will more than likely have already been used to steal all of your girlfriends/boyfriends and loved pets.

Round 2 just went up. Chivalry Medieval Warfare is 75% off. Now who wants to buy it for me?!
 
I'll send you so much #swag you won't know what to do with it.
 
No really, I'll paypal you next Wednesday.

Heya folks!
 
Just had a little fiddle this afternoon and have slammed Twitch.tv integration onto the website! What does this mean? Well, if anybody's streaming live to Ahoy World's Twitch.tv account, it'll appear right here on the home page in place of the banner!
 
Also, make sure you make an account and follow the Ahoy World channel for updates on when we stream!
 
Hoo-rah!

As I&A 3 gets closer and closer, we're going to need some guinea pigs to test with. Do you like guinea pigs? Have you ever considered becoming one? If so, you should most definitely apply to be an I&A Alpha Tester.
 
There are limited positions available, so make sure to get applying as soon as possible.

So... BF4 release would be my preferred options, but most of the other ideas I've seen here are pretty good too.

Maybe a BF1942 server in the meantime. Because everyone knows that the Anti-Tank class is the most versatile in the game.

Or any other BF server. They're all good (Apart from BF1943).
 

Ok sorry my mistake /(. . )
 
Then my Options will be:
 
1. Red Orchestra Hardcore server 
2. BF 3 or BF 4 server
3. Team Fortress 2 / Gmod server
4. DayZ mod / Stand Alone DayZ server
 

Ugh... ugh... ugh...
 
In English "Thank you for writing this"
 
Seriously.
 
I know, 2 months late, but it still isn't released so hey.

Nice quick meeting this month! Here's a brief run-down of the decisions made.

Dedicated Server
George and Jack to be managing the server initially
Two Minecraft servers - one dedicated to survival and one dedicated to creative / game modes
Tekkit will not be hosted for the foreseeable future - the hardware requirements are too high
Assetto Corsa will be hosted on the server ASAP
ArmA III will be hosted on the server ASAP (ArmA II in the mean time)

[*]YouTube

Creation of solid, regular content
George will manage the creation, organisation and editing of content
Focus on play-throughs and tours / promotional videos of the Ahoy Minecraft! servers
Also include reviews / guides (incl. mod installation and the like)

[*]Minecraft

Survival world will be regular, PVP Minecraft in a large-biome map, hosted on a 2GB server with a lot of slots
Server / game mode priority list:




Survival
Zombie Survival
Walls
AhoyForts
AhoyPrison
RP World




Zombie Survival
Looking for constant input. Tell them what you want on the forums and follow the dev diaries
Areas named "Area 1", "Area 2" etc to undergo a staggered release, the devs hopefully being 2 or 3 areas ahead of the current release
Many more (but weaker) zombies than usual





Good stuff people! Let's make it happen!

I would simply love empire total war. But thank you very much!

With recent additions, AhoyCoin's become a little bigger and a lot more complicated. I'm looking for people to help with code (even if it's just your input on how to add features / how to make the code more efficient), provide suggestions, report bugs and test, test, test. If you're immediately interested, make sure you're registered over at GitHub and give me your username. The project will be managed from there.
Main source code can be found at https://github.com/Ahoy-World/AhoyCoin/tree/master/src/uk/co/ahoyworld
If you're at all interested in AhoyCoin I encourage you to register your interest in this thread. It's just entered beta and I need a userbase to start testing it as much as possible. Do ridiculous things with it. I want you to try and break it. If it survives a multitude of mad-men purposefully attempting to break the system, it should be fine in any other situation.
For those of you who aren't yet aware of what AhoyCoin is for and how we use it, here's the low-down.
What is AhoyCoin?
AhoyCoin is an in-house plugin developed to work alongside iConomy, allowing our playerbase to buy and sell items to and from a collection of 'towns' throughout the Minecraft world. Prices are managed dynamically through town tax rates, tax on specific items and specifically-set prices for that extra little bit of control.
To make the plugin even more like a true economy, prices are affected by stock levels for that town, which rise and fall as players buy and sell as well as scheduled deliveries that replenish stock, individually set for each item.
What does it mean for the player?
Using AhoyCoin, the player will have access to items in an ever-changing economy. Dynamic supply and demand means that a smart trader can take advantage of certain situations and, through sometimes travelling huge distances, are able make a pretty profit if they do it right.
To see the price of an item, simply punch the sign! You'll receive a message along the lines of "Buy 4 Apples from Drammar for 50 Gold?" and all you have to do to confirm the purchase is right-click! If you'd like to sell, simply punch the sign a second time. You'll be given a quote for the selling price and can, once again, confirm by right-clicking!
What does it mean for creators?
Shops are often a pain to create and, in other addons, require linking chests and even using redstone! With AhoyCoin, it's easy. Simply make a sign with the following information:

1st Line: [Vendor]
2nd Line: Town Name
3rd Line: Item Name
4th Line: Quantity[/CODE]
For example:

[CODE][Vendor]
Drammar
Bucket
1[/CODE]
Punch the sign, it'll confirm the details and you're done! Players can now buy and sell buckets using that sign and stock and pricing will be automatically managed for you!
[size=4][b]What else does AhoyCoin do?[/b][/size]
Regardless of whether or not you actually want to know the answer to that question, you're about to find out.
[b][size=3]Projects[/size][/b]
AhoyCoin also manages what we're calling 'Projects'. While this may later be moved into a seperate plugin, right now it's being managed under the AhoyCoin umbrella. So Projects are more-or-less global quests that the whole server can get behind and work towards. They're structures or improvements that cannot be built unless a certain resource and/or money requirement is met.
As an example, imagine that Drammar has a small wood chopping station. It only has a maximum stock of 20 and replenishes just 5 wood every 3 days. Using Projects, however, a creator sign could be placed proposing a new Lumber Mill to be built. One sign is placed for each resource needed, stating the project's name and the quantity of the resource needed. Players can 'donate' resources and money to each sign, contributing towards the Lumber Mill. When all the resource requirements have been met, the Lumber Mill will be built and Drammar will now have a maximum wood stock of 50, replenishing 15 wood every day.
Using this method, players can improve towns that they make their home, allowing for a greater feeling of belonging and contribution to the community as a whole.
Aside from the obvious benefits of better shops, however, the advantages of donating resources and money is still somewhat limited. Do you have an idea for how we could reward players who donate? Maybe they receive a discount of 5 or 10% when shopping at that particular Lumber Mill?
That's all for now. However, as I said, if you have any suggestions or are interested in testing and using AhoyCoin and/or its Projects feature, please get in touch by either registering your interest in this thread or PMing me.
Hope to hear from y'all soon.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

nice server jack you have been busy !
Rob here a friend of jacks dad - which means of course that im a dinosaur who remembers when computer had 16k of ram and rubber keyboards - now you have lots of ram and rubber keyboards to protect against internet abuse....
other than that i spend my time gaming, diving and occasionally working.

I can imagine getting a knock on the door is all. Maybe they'd think we were using it to practice assaults. Probably even watching this conversation as we joke about it!

*wipes coffee off of his screen*

Yes.

You can make your TNT jail now.

As some of you may be aware, we've recently changed Minecraft hosts. As a result of which, me and GarethJoiner have been working hard to get all the details figured out. We've even managed to get in a few addons.
To keep everyone updated, here's a quick list of everything we've done so far.
--
TeamSpeak Integration



To get our Minecraft community more involved, Minecraft text chat now shows up in TeamSpeak and vice versa. This should aid in bringing everyone together through a medium that both parties are comfortable with. On TeamSpeak, chat will currently appear and be read from "The Lounge" channel. This may be changed to the "Minecraft" channel at a later date, though the idea is for The Lounge to be a social place that a lot of people have access to. --
Dynamic Map

The site will now show a Dynamic Map of our Minecraft server. This map features surface, cave and isometric 3D views of the entirety of our current world, as well as showing live player positions, chat messages and allowing the user to chat through the web interface. This should once again offer slicker integration between our site and the Minecraft community, providing ways for everyone to communicate.

The dynamic map can be viewed by navigating to About > Minecraft Map or clicking here.

Groups and Ranks

The old server's organisation regarding player ranks was that a few trusted members received Operator status. While it worked fine, it's preferable to keep only the top guys Operators to avoid mishaps such as people shutting down or restarting servers. Ergo we've integrated a new permissions system whereby everyone should get what they need without posing any risk to the server. It's important to note that everyone on the old server with Game Mode / Creative permissions still have those rights. Nothing has changed for the regulars!
To give you a low-down of the current system we have in place, here's a boring-looking list with group names and notable permissions.
[ADMIN] Administrators - OP status and access to all commands
Trusted Regulars - All the permissions of a regular member with the addition of being able to change other players' game modes
[VIP] Donators - We're not sure yet. You'll get something special for donating. Promise.
Regulars - Ability to change their own game mode, change the time of day and full building rights
Visitors - Players joining for the first time are put in this group. Building is disabled so that people can't come on and grief. A new group may be created for "Trial" users before they are put into the "Regulars" group
--
As a final note, there are lots of new commands now available on the server, so type "/help" and have a gander. If you personally or your group does not have access to a command that you believe you should have, please raise the issue with either me or GarethJoiner. While everything should be configured fine for the moment, I'd still expect a couple of hitches over the next few days.
Other than that, happy Minecrafting!

S:S&S EP can be interpreted as a streamlined 21st century re-imagining of the point & click adventure videogames of yesteryear. Alternately, because of the primacy of Jim Guthrie's musical score, S:S&S EP can be understood as a prog rock concept album you can hang out in.







The player is free to discover the narrative & the play mechanics of S:S&S EP in their own time. The project was built with the goal of subverting expectations & positively surprising audiences with new, interesting ideas... so the less said about the nuts & bolts of the experience, the better!

I'll get right on that as soon as I get home.

Oh.
Well we'll keep the feature. There's no way of stopping that little exploit without disabling the ajax quick-reply, and I like the ajax quick-reply. Like hell am I gonna have a whole page refresh just for one post.

I'm going to get home today at ~21:00. I know the pain.
