Bigger is Better

Not a lot of submissions this week.  I blame a social life which every now and then I like to pretend I have.

But besides that I'm wondering if constantly throwing games at the internet is a good idea or if I should slow down and submit a few more thought out ideas over longer stretches of time?  I don't know, its hard to say if that's a good idea or if I should just stop burning myself out so fast from one thing to another.  Anyway, some more citycraft soon, promise!

If fate gave you a lotto ticket...

I've not much time but I want to get my thoughts out before they vanish, if only so I can look back on them later.

An offer has come to my attention today, an offer that may actually boost my traffic on youtube.  To me it seems like a lotto ticket, a chance to win big or remain as I am.

The demands are resonable and they have results to back up their claim with a quick browse of the internet.  All I have to do is agree to make money, but thats the problem.

I went into this thinking that I would never make money, that I just kind of liked messing around with adobe as something to do and always just loved people looking at my stuff but now that theres a lottery ticket in front of me that sais I could actually win something, all I have to do is try do I want to try?  If I scratch the ticket, win or loose it suddenly becomes about money and legalality of my content.  Doing it just for skills sake doesn't usually result in much a backlash legally so long as you're not making money.

This is just a quick thought but it's something thats been lingering in my head the last two days.  Do you scratch the ticket, admitting its about money, or just go on in obscurity refining your talent? 

Maybe I'll just tell myself that being with an organization will help refine my skills since they did promise to teach me stuff...  I think I'll scratch the ticket before long.

When to Ban from minecraft

So you'll probably hear on my next episode of minecraft that we had to ban someone. 

I'm curious what you think it takes to ban someone from a server or what others who are reading this might have been banned for that seemed unfair.

Basically the man wasn't participating with the rest of the group as was the point of this co-op minecraft scenario we where running.  He explored large chunks of the map against the server host advicement because it makes the server more difficult to backup.  He did this to loot all the chests nearby.  he went into the twilight area alone without recording and killed the fortress. 

All of that is just kinda jerkish but not bannable in my opinion.  The one that did him in i think was when he kept trying to use a mod that currently crashes the server several times, each time being warned not to use it.

Admin said that we can do better for our server which I believe but made me wonder what it would take before I ban someone from a server myself.
