joncivils1 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't know about ya'll, but I'm a little tired of logging on and only seeing four to five people on the server. We NEED more players, like now. Can't we advertise or something, post a video on youtube talking about the server? This thought came to my head this morning at two something, tossing and turning, trying to go to sleep. If I have to be the one to make a video advertising, let me know. I'll learn how to make a video real quick. VIVA LA CHUNK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudLogic Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Only four to five?!? That sounds rare to me. I hardly see 2 other people on let alone 1. I cannot make a video because this computer sucks balls, but I would be happy to see one of the server. There is plenty of stuff to show and I've completed most of the floating islands for people to build on. I plan to make other terraforming projects but it is pointless if there is NO ONE to build shit on them. I wish I could make warps for the different zones and redo the spawn but that is not up to me.. I'm looking at the server info at the bottom of the page.. 0/40 people. I appreciate Coaster paying for the server but he is wasting his money if we don't actually get people to play on it. On a side note: College has started up again for me and this shit SUCKS.

joncivils1 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 My senior year of high school. I apologize if I am not as active in on the server and the forum, I will try to get on as much as possible(school starts tomorrow for me, a day before my birthday) So no one would get upset if I to do a video promoting the server would they? I just don't want Coaster wasting his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoa Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 cloud if you want, if you have time, you could direct a video and ill record it, i could try to make an effort to learn some basic stuff in premiere pro. up until now i havent had any reason to learn how to use it EDIT: also, can put it on the 'multimanlp' channel, its got 160 ish subscribers now...

Coastercraze Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm in NC atm about to head back home so eventually I'll be back on again to do some stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabuf Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I haven't been on in eons, and I'm starting my senior year of college the 29th. I (ironically) find more time to play and mess around during school; Work hours are what get me, because after my normal 10hr days, I'm exhausted and have no motivation to get on and/or do anything with Minecraft. So I will be on more come Monday, and I will be able to put together any video/effects/etc. you guys want me to. I'm a veteran user of Premiere Pro and After Effects and just recently boosted my RAM supply to 12GBs! So I would really love to use some of that power... And Jc, 'VIVA LA CHUNK' is an incredible idea. I already feel some inspiration stirring up for a crazy video comp/series. As far as getting more people on, this is the challenging part--when the life of a multiplayer game is really tested, and doesn't matter how amazing any one server is; people just eventually lose interest. I definitely think if we work together on a few community videos or series, we will surely see improvement in respect to producing more 'regulars'.

Zoa Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 ok coaster, i see how it is, flee as the hurricanes gonna hit, just leave me here...

joncivils1 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 I won't be on this weekend , my cousin(who I've not seen in a long time)wants to chill with me this weekend, something about taking me out to eat for my Birthday. Anyways, I'll be back on Monday. However like I said, with me starting my senior year of High school, I won't be on as often, but as usual, I will check the forums every so often, to stay up to speed. As Spock(spell check that) would say "Live long and prosper." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythil Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 LOL, I mentioned this topic way too many times. One way to keep players around is group activities. We need group activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoa Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 think of group activities... thats now your job :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythil Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Well, I already made/have plans. I'll give you my ideas when world 1 is finally imported. I built a lot of courses there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsmanden94 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 "Group activities" Does that mean we have to sit around, holding hands and sing songs like hippies? D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncivils1 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Go hippies Guess who is back. Yea, we were out of power these past couple of days. I guess ya'll haven't decided on what to do to attract more players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythil Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Group activities as in tournaments, competitions, fighting admins, and ordered chaos. With prizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudLogic Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I like chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabuf Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I agree, chocolate is a likable substance. However, the key to getting more regular players is to author more videos. Since videos are time and labor intensive, we don't make very many. Believe it or not, I kept track of the time it took to author our latest video--Banning Alternative, and it only took 1 hour and 50 minutes; for a ten minute video! Is it the best video? No. I had to pipe in some music to make things a little less boring. But it's not all that hard to do, and we need to do it more often. I'm actually developing an idea for a series on our server. A very free sort of series that touches on all the projects, designs, fads, new experiments and aspects of Minecraft. One which features most player's work; so participating in our server long-term would be more rewarding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythil Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'll love to give a tour of my underwater facility, but of course, it is slightly in a nonexistant realm right now. In all reason, 1 hour and a half to edit a video that is 10 minutes long is not bad. At all. I did a live action project for class and that took over 20 hours for 20 minutes.

DrankisDank Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Another great way to recruit people for the server is to get your friends at school or where you work (if they play minecraft) to get on our server. I promise they will stick around. On another note, I apologize for being on like once a week, but I have been getting home each day around 8:30-9:00 every weekday and have been working on my eagle project on the past two weekends. It looks like I'm going to have a lot more time in the coming weeks though so you can expect to find me on just as much as I used to be.

Canga Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think if we want new people to join the server we should do a minecraft video not multiplayer not survival but just footage of blowing up 10,000 blocks of tnt I mean who doesn't like that? and in the description of the video write Viva The Chunk Republic with the server Ip, just a suggestion but it may be crazy enough to actually work I may be new to the server but I love to talk and I have a lot of crazy ideas! ( i have footage of that by the way lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
