    Server Wipe

    in Minecraft

    The server is running Spigot now. Spigot is just a fancy Craftbukkit with more something something....

     

    The world that existed before I brought the server down a day or two ago is still there, nothing has been wiped. Log in, have fun. You guys can continue the debate about wiping the world or not.

     

    Other than that I ran a bunch of Centos updates (running 6 64 bit if you are curious) and bumped the Java on the server from something like 1.8.0_4 to 1.8.0_45 or whatever. Java had not been updated sine July of last year. Gotta be better now.

    Server Wipe

    in Minecraft

    Server is back online.

     

    Old world is still there and cooking.

     

    Spigot *IS* running but since it is just a wierd version of Craftbukkit you will discern nothing has changed. Until things change. 

     

    As for new world wipe etc.... I leave you to it.

     

    I resume teh deep lurkings... for now...

    So let's talk some more...

    in FragFest Ohio 2015

    Might be able to do a small thing again at Black Wolf. Maybe? Not sure of dates. That's not what this is about.

     

    This is about the realities of hotels.

     

    If we can get 60+ none of this is a problem, but when we have the numbers the last few years (a little north of 30) it's tough to get anywhere with hotels.

     

    I worked one wild option. If only the venue allowed outside food it would have been spectacular. Aloft Cleveland. Downtown. Brand new. All of it. KIller space. Bars. Outside lounge space a number of floors up the building. With the unfortunate nut that the attached restaurant controls the meeting space on weekends and will not allow ANY outside food or drink - it must be catered through them. Oh sure, you can have the space for free if you drop $$$$ on food. Which, almost would be doable. Except of course for the hours they aren't open. And they were very explicit in the consequences of breaking that rule. It could and would get ugly. Shame that. They probably make their bank on weddings though. I wonder if they will have one booked the first weekend of October...

     

    So it goes.

     

    I checked a few other venues but Marvin has been the one on the ball pushing and prodding and poking places and things.

     

    Summer for hotels is pretty much out at this point. That said, Marvin has presented this.

     

    Days Inn Richfield

    http://www.daysinn.com/hotels/ohio/richfield/days-inn-and-suites-richfield/photos-video?partner_id=&hotel_id=32657&campaign_code=&propId=DI32657&checkout_date&brand_id=DI&children=0&corporate_id=&ratePlan=&teens=0&affiliate_id=&iata=&rate_code=&adults=1&checkin_date&rooms=1

     

    Former Holiday Inn Holidome. That means pool(s), mini golf, arcade, etc. It also means it's a bit on the old side. Reviews could be better. Call them scattershot. Marvin has been there, he can chime in.

     

    First weekend of October. This may be bad, it may be good and the new normal (summers can be tricky with weddings and the like)

     

    The entire ballroom space. All of Thrs, Fri, Sat, Sun. Not Thrs late afternoon to Sunday noon. The whole time.

     

    Free reign for food AND drink! All of it. As long as someone doesn't go off their nut. Marvin made assurances. The location isn't great for going out for five minutes and coming back with food. Plans would probably need to be made for food runs or at the least let everyone know when someone is going and people can piggy back on the order, etc. Always delivery too  - I can see places making delivery area exceptions for a large enough order.

     

    Now comes the hard part.

     

    It's not 2005, 2006, 2007 any more. It's been a long time. Inflation and so on...

     

    $4000.

     

    Let's do some math!

     

    30 people @ $75 a head. $2250. If attendance is the same as the last few years it's a no go.

    If some people donate to kick us up to around $3000 GC can eat a grand alright-ish. I'm just reluctant to have those funds go to cover a party with so few people attending.

     

    60 people? $4500, the venue is covered. Teeshirts, free snacks, etc.

     

    80 and now you've got a grand ole' time.

     

    It's a $1000 deposit to hold the space. If the numbers are too low months from now I've got no problem letting that deposit go. Beats the alternative.

     

    But this is all on you guys.

     

    Thursday October 1st through Sunday October 4th. Negotiated room rate of $80/night plus whatever street/block/neighborhood/city/county/state/made-up taxes and fees.

     

    Chime in. Marvin will have some more to add. I'll let this ride a day or two and then send a bulk email if it's worth it and then we can see where we really stand.

     

    PS to Marvin: Could it instead be Friday, Saturday, Sunday?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Beer League Banter

    in Sports Bar and Grill

    I had hopes for the playoffs but  losing my top three guns and having MAFlurry decide along with the rest of the team to just take a few weeks off.. Yeah. And that luck pretty much carried on through the other rounds had I played in them. Waste of a good Toews who is lighting it up with Kane out and that sweet Hartnell pickup I had.

     

    Ah well.

     

    As for Leslie (Puck Monkeys) and Pronounce... Both had just unbelievable crap for goalie work this week, hard to look at (avert your gaze those who dare to look) but it really all came down to the last two games of Sunday night and shots on goal. With 4 minutes left Monkeys had you by one, then you tied it up then it went to OT and no change. The tiebreaker is apparently season head-to-head and then overall record (I think on that last one). 

     

    No matter. Y'all know what her record is and can imagine what her head-to-head was vs Pronounce. 

     

    Your pickup of Jagr for this week was fantastic. He had 10 shots on goals in two days. 

    Let's talk dates!

    in FragFest Ohio 2015

    CS crowd came up with FFO. L4D folks not so much. If you were looking for a reason. Also a really wide geographic range with the L4D'rs.

     

    I'm attempting to run down a hotel or two for a location - would be very different dates than the poll though. One place would be amazing if it happens...

    How do i buy DammitCarlos a membership?

    in What's Up?

    That name is borderline. I mean, it's harmless enough on it's own but it's one of those gateway words that lead to people saying "but you let that name through"

     

    Meh, deal with it later sometime...

     

    1) Buy a gift voucher for $15.

     

    2) Send it to him

     

    3) He registers here on the forums if not already here, then uses the gift voucher to get a Contributing Membership.

    Saturday Night Customs SKIN GIVEAWAY! Information inside!

    in Counter Strike

    For the record I use the work safe vanilla skin for the forums.  Now with that said the yellow text doesn't work so well for me.  

     

    I haven't done sat customs for awhile, i'll try to get in there tonight.  

     

    What's not work safe about the default GC skin? Seriously curious. Not like there are boobies everywhere. Or is it more of a "if it looks like it belongs at work it's ok" kinda thing?
