I made up this game on Facebook, and had quite a few takers.  It helped me to keep my mind sharp, and provided a few laughs at the same time.

I tout myself to be a pretty savvy lyricist.  My challenge from you: Give me a name, a profession, a topic, and one of the 5 following writing styles: Sonnet, Haiku, Limerick, Mashup, or Freeverse.  (Mashup must include the original song - think Weird Al Yancovic).  I'll write back with the results.

Example: Emily... Trash Collector... Toothpaste squeezed from the middle... Sonnet.

Results:
 
 The horror of her less-than-pleasant job
the one she chose to live with all her life
is only superseded by the slob
the one that privileges to call her wife.
Fair Emily, tho never smelling fair,
collector of all things that people waste;
her only sanctuary from "out there",
surrounds her with all evidence of haste.
"Your home shall be a haven", people say;
"A place where order shall prevail within."
Yet husbandry doth irk her in his stay,
his bathroom habits nothing short of sin.
And this frustration caused by manly haste?
The squeezing of the middle of toothpaste.


Another example:  Bradley, Orange Julius employee, childhood fear of vacuum cleaners and/or bathtub drains, Mashup: Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen."

And my answer:

Poor Ol' Bradley Ray...
Sounded sad upon the telephone, he shed a million tears a-trembling.
Called 911, and rang the call center for help...
"Now you're grown, so grown," the policeman said to Bradley,
"to be afraid of vacuum cleaners. Hey..."
"I just don't like the noisy suckers"

Come on and clean
I swear (that Bradley) is a scardey of the dumbest thing.
Your floor is a mess, the rug I confess is so dirty
Aw, come on, and clean.

These people round here where Bradley resides
suck in dead skin cells and pollen they're aware of what his fate is.
So that's why, that's why, at the Orange Julius Bradley
is working. They have such a lovely vinyl tile!
Bradley will mop and sweep forever!

(Chorus)

BRING IT.

I'm creating my own texture pack and i'm doing the colormap for leaves. I saw a post showing how to do autumn leaves here:




This was acheived by using the following colormap:



I would like to ask, can anyone create a colormap similar to this, but using green, blue, and white? the size needs to be 256x256. If i get multiple submissions i'll give an in-game reward to my favourite!

EDIT: I also need one for grass, however i might use the same set of colours for both i'm not sure yet

There are two land claims that are on my land, both belonging to the same player who is inactive and has not logged on in over three months. They're both completely empty with just grass that I placed down before they were claimed. I'd appreciate it if staff could delete these claims so I can build on the land and claim it for myself.

Thanks,

Server I was banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft name: ThoriumHD

Reason for my ban: "croptheft"

Who banned me: shisuan

Why should I be unbanned: I went originally to the /warp farm to gather some wheat. I went over to the wheat area and I stayed a few minutes harvesting. I TPed home, forgetting to replant. I didn't realize I hadn't replanted, and I went on doing normal things in the server. A day later, I see that I'm banned for "croptheft". I didn't mean any harm in harvesting the wheat and I had no intention to steal it. I'm sorry.

Why do I want to come back: I have a lot of friends there, and I have a large island with some builds that took quite a bit of effort. I really want to go back to see my friends and have fun with building, etc. I hope you read this. Thanks for your time.

Hoppers are not putting items into chest carts directly under or beside it. This issue has been going on or at least a few months. Please fix it, as such mechanic will be very useful to me.

For all you out there, new and old, I've fixed all my farms!! I encourage anyone to use them.
Info below


Warps:
Publicfarm - down forever
Jellyguardian - running, $1200 for access (fastest xp farm on server + all the drops)
Jellyend - running
Jellyspider/Jellyspider2 - running
Jellyzombie/Jellyzombie2 - running
Jellyskelly/Jellyskelly2 - running
Jellyblaze - running
Jellyiron - running, no more 50/50 split, you get all 600 iron ingots per hour
Jellygold - running, no more 50/50 split, you get all 120 gold ingots per hour
Jellycactus - running
Jellyegg - running


Go to Warp Jelly to see the remainder of my warps!

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SmMP

Minecraft name: kode364

Reason for your ban: Farms is because I childishly spasmed fuck you admin and I got banned. On the server, I also got banned for the same reason.

Who banned you: Since it was last season I am unsure.

Why should you be unbanned: I have learned to be more respectful to the staff on servers as cussing them out of rage never ever helped me. I would love a second chance to play once more and make great mega builds with friends once ore. I would love to see how much It has changed since I got suspended. Please consider this as I believe I waited a significant time to rethink my actions.
Why do you want to come back: I would like to come back so I can play on your great server once more. I have learned from my actions and I was stressed at the time. I want to see the server since I have left. I won't be using an alt or anything to bypass my ban because I need to learn from my actions that hurt the community of the server. That is why I stated why I want to come back.

Hey I'm alive and stuff, just real bored of minecraft tbh but I still love the people here so just wanted to say hi!!

Hey, sorry to repost this, and sorry if I seem impatient, but I originally posted this appeal 3 weeks ago, I haven't got a proper response yet, and frost has already unbanned the two other players implicated in the same grief case as me.


Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP 

Minecraft name: Gowine

Reason for your ban: Griefing

Who banned you: Arayvek

Why should you be unbanned: Yesterday, I tried to login to HT, but to my surprise, I saw that I had been banned. I am almost sure that it is because I mined a few stacks of coal at /warp coal, as XxKawiixKittyxX was most likely banned at the same time as me, and because her too mined there. I had no idea mining there was not allowed. Why would there be a public warp on a huge pile of coal ore ? I assumed it was free to take, and that from time to time, it would be restocked. I don't know if I will get unbanned. Like Grimm said on my previous appeal : "However, if you grief again, you may be permanently banned from the server for being a repeat offender." 

I know the rules of HomeTown well. After my previous ban, I read them again, carefully, and I've respected each of them. Apparently, I have broken rule 1 without even knowing it. I really hope that Arayvek will be kind and forgiving to me, even though I am considered as a repeated offender. If I get unbanned, I promise to give the coal I've mined to the owner of the warp. I am truly sorry for the trouble I have caused to him. Griefing the coal was a terrible mistake. I should have asked to someone if the coal was free to take.

Why do you want to come back: I would be really sad if I was permanently banned without any chance of being unbanned. Like I said on my previous appeal, I don't know any other server that has such an awesome community. I had the Member rank, played peacefully, was starting to build a beautiful cactus farm. This server is truly great, it has a good system, but is simple, and has got the good old Minecraft spirit to it.

Edit (made after frost unbanned the two players cited below : I am the someone who "advertised for free coal". I'm really sorry about that. I thought it was free to take, and for some reason, felt the urge to tell everyone about it. I didn't mean to get  XxKawaiixKittyxX and tymojamamamama into trouble.

I know, it's been about 5 months, but sometimes you simply run out of steam for minecraft. 
Now the semester is drawing to a close, I'm back in force! 
I know most of my farms are broken and a few is shut down, But I'll be fixing my XP farms and building more public farms.
Yes, I've learned that lag is quite bad in some areas, and I won't be making the same mistake again. 
If some guidelines have changed regarding auto farms, Staff please let me know so I don't get in trouble. 
Also, if some of you want to partner up with me to build something it is greatly welcomed. 

Anyways, it's good to see some old names and new ones. I'll see you online sometime.
