Post by: LonHuskie on March 14, 2012, 11:21:17 pm
Ok I now Know that I've been banned once and I grieved bye accident (trying to be truthful).
So how do i rank up on the smp server?
I want to be trusted and help other ppl like my friends and enemies.

Yes there is a way, Just follow the rules, be polite, and play on the server alot, But that fact that you been banned before, hurts your chances and might be harder to gain.

I'd also like to know how to get to Trusted status.  I've been playing on the server for a little while now, but usually keep to myself.  Problem with that is I'm now at a build level where I'm starting to get into the more advanced crafting such as brewing and building monster traps, both of which can't really be done unless you can place water.  I'm almost 34 years old, and trust me griefing is the last thing on my mind.  Anyway, hopefully I can get Trusted soon.

the most important thing to do is not ask about being trusted because that decreases your chances of getting the rank... X

Trusted rank:
In order to get it, even if I am not a SMP Operator, I can tell you that, you dont have to ask it.
You get recommended my Mods, trusted players, and then Operators consider you for the promotion.
But, in your part, you have to be helpful, to dont make nervous the Mods, with spamming etc.

In the first player's post I would answer that, in order to be trusted, you have to change your point of view. There are no enemies in the game. The only enemies are the creepers, the sceletons, and the rest mobs. If you help everyone, play a lot and probably you are finally allowed to help in a project that will bring you to the top, then you wil get it without to realise it.

The point is to dont search for it. It will search for you..

Good luck!

I know you're not supposed to ask for Trusted status, that's why I didn't ask to be set to Trusted.  I simply asked how one can become trusted if you aren't really being noticed.  I build by myself, usually to avoid griefers and drama.  That said, I've gone to the market and handed out stuff.  I've been on Mumble a few times, but don't do it often because I like listening to music and sometimes the conversations disrupt that.  I've made friends with a few trusted people, iGenerator for one.  I vote, diamonds or not, because I actually like this server (and yes I do the full voting process not the "lamerz" way to get rich)...  I'm just not sure what more I can do, because now I'm at a build level where it's really detrimental to not have water placement.  The only reason I'm looking to get trusted is for water placement so I can fill my cauldrons.  I personally don't care if I'm trusted (by real people) or not, I'm not a griefer and actually openly despise any little pricks who are.  That said, you need to have a trusted rank to fill your cauldrons, and to make half-decent monster traps and auto-farms.  So I'm basically stuck banging my head off the wall until someone decides I'm worthy of the status.

Well thanks for your vote Greedy, and if I ever do become trusted (and you don't) if you need water (or whatever) placed don't think twice about asking me.  I'll be there.

1. Spam, trusteds can recommend others for trusted? I didn't know that.

2. Viper, I understand your problem. I've helped many members before, and many have found it hard to do their own projects, because they always have to call upon someone who can place water. At the moment, all you can do is simply wait. You may not be aware of it but I bet the operators/admins are now watching you, to determine if you are really ready for the rank. In the meantime, I am always available to provide water as are many of my trusted friends, including iGenerator (he's a pretty nice trusted. Stick with him :P). Also, one more thing to add: Many players believe voting on the site proves your worth and helps you rank. In fact, voting has nothing to do with any ranking whatsoever, as it is just a way for Opticraft to grow.

So ya, if what spam says about trusted recommendations is true, I'll keep an eye on you. :P

Its liek support game and trusted, or players who are well known to community, when other discuss for these things can say their opinion. Not that if you want, you can introduce someone for promo..

Post by: ViperZeroOne on March 18, 2012, 05:55:46 pm
Thanks DJAlphaWolf, for everything said.  I think that's what I like the most about this server, everyone is ready and eager to help out.  Trust me, I absolutely understand the reasoning behind banning water placement for those who aren't trusted.  I ran my own little server (30 player) for a while.  It's got a MASSIVE starter city, enconomy, and got a ton of compliments on it.  Problem was, I finally decided I was more into building than Oping, but I had my share of griefers to ban.  Residence helped a lot, but was pretty limited, so I'm really liking the PS feature of this server (just wish they weren't so dam expensive *LOL*)... All that said, I really hope you're right about the Mods/Admins having their eye on me now.  I hope they enjoy the show.   ;D

Agreed Greedy, I hate nagging people for water placement because I frequently change where the water needs to be placed.  Farm adjusting and all that stuff, you know how it is.



P.S.  I don't vote to get Trusted status, I vote because I like the server.  Trust me, if I didn't, I wouldn't.  I'm not that desperate for diamonds.  *LOL*

Just be patient and good things will come to you  :D. The fact that you have been banned will make it take longer (I think) so just be patient and polite. :P
Title: Re: I really love helping people! How can i rank up?
Post by: TehxP on March 20, 2012, 11:30:33 pm
You get trusted by being trustworthy, from what I know, you've been banned before and I think that it would take a little longer because of that, I would suggest NOT asking for it and please quit begging :C. When we or the admins think you're ready for trusted we'll do something about it. Just please dont ask for it because it lowers your chances.
Title: Re: I really love helping people! How can i rank up?

Ok i've asked ONCE and i've been banned at mistakes from me not ur admin/mods.
But thx anyways :-\
Title: Re: I really love helping people! How can i rank up?
Post by: ViperZeroOne on April 10, 2012, 02:40:40 pm
Yea, I'm thinking getting a "Trusted" status is more about random chance than actually being trustworthy.  I've chatted it up with mods, with trusted, had mods compliment me on my "house", given away stacks of food and supplies at the market, never griefed (but have reported griefing), answered questions if players randomly posted them in chat, vote (when I remember)...  Nada.  

Oh well, I'll just keep being patient I guess.

I might call on you later to place some water...  *LOL*  ...My "base" is getting bigger by the day.  Added a party room yesterday.  Going to do some more iron mining so I can get a bunch of PS's and do a big above-ground expansion soon.  Not to mention, add a hidden "soundtrack" under the dance floor of my party room and connect it up to the DJ booth.   ;D  Planning out the "notes" for the soundtrack on my tablet right now.  *LOL*

I'm not a person that says "just be patient". Here's how you get trusted fast:

1. Join the mumble.

2. Help on a project that you don't have to while a mod is also helping

3. If someone says bye, I'm leaving, etc etc, say bye back. It makes you seem nicer and makes the server look like more of a community.

Golden rules.
Don't ask for it
Don't be too obvious that you want it, like "Hey Relkeb today I gave out free diamonds and a house"
Be known. Talk a lot to people.
Be nice. Don't grief, spam.
Don't get banned. It slows you down, or stops you from getting Trusted indefinitely if it's a big ban.
Be kind to other players. Don't swear too much at them
Don't annoy mods..
And last of all, be on a lot.
Hope this helped.

I'd have to say that this list about sums it up for the most part.  I mean, you can do a lot of other things as well, but these are the key things that will get you noticed.

- Be active on Mumble so the mods get to know you, the person behind the character.
- Help out, not only mods but everyone who might be looking for help.
- Be active and friendly in the in-game chat.

But the biggest thing is, do NOT ask to be trusted.

If you look at the dates, this topic was started quite some time ago, before I was a Trusted.  And yes, I am a Mod now.  Goes to show you how fast things can happen if you "do it right"... ;)

Cool cool...  Just a tip, which you probably already know, don't apply until the mod apps are open.

Guys, Mumble is just a speaking program? Because when i write, I feel more confortable but I don't think that I can speak English very well :P so is there a way to use the mumble just for chat?
