I agree with everything but some control is needed over what we personally build, Having someone able to remove stuff and destroy blocks isnt going to be funny,
it might be done just for fun or as a joke but after looking at some of the places on this map i think i would be annoyed if someone played with what i had built,
As with changing every month is a bit silly but i suppose that when its finally out of its beta state the maps would be playable longer

@Santa - the central point is usually near the spawn point. It never usually starts off too far from there

Agreed. That;s my point just above. We need some basic rules as ARSE members. Worked fine on the first map we had but there were a lot less of us. No reason why we cant all play nicely :D

Like no shit like blowing up peoples stuff for fun.
If it blows as an accident, fix it.

If it is going to happen, there is no point going to MetropolARSE to do anything so it would be better done sooner or not at all.

Is Astro ok with the change? What about Burn? Im sure he has some pull with Astro :D

Sooner the better if it goes that way. I think we should still have the lots and stuff though, it was a good place to hang about etc etc.

Stories of valiantly leading creepers out of town are always great, and making night time work/mining risky is also a good thing :)

Hopefully we won't have any problems like that. If not, maybe temp bans?

Nah i jumped on and said to the everyone who was on i was reseting the map, and we came up with "lets blow up sambos place first" Backed up the server and we blew it up!

new map is just a free for all atm, my thought are every 2nd map reset is a town, so Free for all, town, free for all, town, free for all, town and so on, that way its not the same shit over and over

My personal opinion -

I am annoyed at the map changes. Basically its twice now I have set out to build something relatively complex and two weeks later the map is either relocated or started from fresh. Now I have absolutely no will do build anything again as I have a good feeling its going to be gone in another 4 weeks any way. Some may say, well go play SP - Well I enjoy building something to make the community better I would be bored out of my mind if I was by myself.

Re spawning items. I had a few spawned for me, mainly clay because my constant quest to find it made the map file something like 15% bigger. So Astro cut me a deal, even then I still had to make it, get the coal, make bricks etc. I also had a few tools left over from some spawns, but even so I still found more diamond than I needed at the time. Having said all of that, I am a builder not a digger. Never enjoyed the latter much. But at least my house, or what is left of it now, was made with all gathered materials bar 40% of the clay.

So yeah if the town is going to be wiped, FFA, wiped, town etc then as far as I am concerned I will just come along to see what people have done as I don't have enough time to the game to build something in that time frame, especially now that the Christmas break is over.

I hear you Sam. I would have liked to have finished the cavern, but the tribe spoke. I am actually having a bit if fun in SP mode at the moment. I am actually learning a few things, which might surprise a few people. I will see what's happening in the new town tonight and decide if I will make another large project. I did enjoy it, but I can understand the decision made.

I hear ya sam!

its frustrating to have built something for it then to dissapear to nothing. in the first map we had i had finished my castle walls and then we had the server crash and it was gone. so a reset was needed. Was gutted.

Saying that though, the only reason it was done this time was for new content. we wont just reset the map willy nilly, its only going to be on new content.

Absolutely, for new content its completely understandable. The issue is, how often this content comes along. At the moment its too frequent and it necessitates having a new map which is frustrating. So its not more so the decision of people that's annoying its the lack of compatibility I guess.
