I am planning to step down from all rules/moderation related responsibility.

I have come to notice over the years that virtually all of the conflict I have been involved in stems from some sort of disagreement with something I did in the course of rule enforcement. Going forward, I want the work I do on this server to be development-related, and I will no longer engage in adjusting rules, mediating disputes, reviewing logs/reports, judging ban appeals, etc, except as absolutely necessary.

It's not official yet, but my plan, at this point, is to turn the administrators into a "council" and give them total control over what the rules are, and how they are enforced. Decisions will be made by a binding majority vote, meaning that no individual will be solely responsible for any major decision.

My hope is that creating this separation of powers will help maintain community confidence in how the server is run, and that ceasing my involvement with these matters will help me have a more healthy relationship with the server in general. This will make my role in the server more like that of a president rather than a dictator.

Additionally, I am retracting the rule changes announced over the weekend. Upon further reflection I have decided that they were not necessary and could be interpreted to be more harsh that I intended. I was honestly just trying to spell things out better but I think the rules are fine as they were.

Huge announcement tonight on Discord VC. This is not just some stupid drama/rule tweak, this is actually a big deal. Like, really big. The biggest.

Kekfrog changes to make them more viable:

• Added "Pray for health" - when you use this, you will gain health as long as you stay close to the kek, up to a maximum of 200 health - this is to help protect them. This works ANYWHERE.
• Curse can only be used once per 30 seconds
• Curse does half as much "damage"

The income is pretty high already, these changes are just to make them easier to protect. However, if people are building impenetrable bases or exploiting the map please send me screenshots and explanation as I obviously don't want it to be impossible to steal a kek

I'm trying out a system that randomly gives bounties to players for killing other players. The idea here is to make it a bit harder to mass RDM as you'd get a bounty which would lead to you being killed and losing your weapon.

It also adds bounties to people on the server at random when there isn't much killing going on. The idea here is to add an incentive for tracking down and killing random people as a new activity.

Also, I took down the kills leaderboard on the website, as I feel that it encouraged too much mass RDM. There is now a points leaderboard in its place. You have to click a link on the page to toggle your points displaying.
