So besides from building and talking in chat, ht has nothing to do. When you get to the point where you have a home, you have so much free time. I usually spend that free time on other servers to pass the time, but I want to be here and play with other people. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way either. Which is why I want to suggest the re-implementation of pvp arenas. And you may say we already have two, but those are hard to fight in and meant for a larges amounts of players. And yes I said re-implementation. Back when I was a noob on this server(2.5+ years ago), pvp arenas were are over the survival world and you were allowed to use your own tools to fight. It was so fun, and it passed the time. What I think should be implemented is either new small pvp arenas in the survival world or in another world. But with either scenario, we are allowed to use our own weapons. Two big red flags for this would be players whining in chat over losses and players losing their stuff. Both can be avoided by creating warning signs outside the arena that force players to read them and understand the risk they make by setting foot in. And to help with vip's getting the advantage, fly/speed will be disabled. And on the bright side we have a plugin preventing players from picking each others stuff up, so theft is out of the question. Tell me what you think. I'm on my phone so I can produce a forum poll so here is a strawpoll here: http://www.strawpoll.me/12436412

Thanks for your time.

Hey guys and girls,

I have actually been a member of the server for a little more than a month, but since I never really introduced myself on the forum (or didn't have an account until this morning) I wanted to catch up on that.

My MC name is Dahaar while my real name is Dom, with me being 23 years old and a professional software architect. I've been a Minecraft player since the early Beta days and been taken breaks from the game for years only to come back once again. I've joined servers, I've hosted servers and I've managed server but I have never had an experience like here on Hometown. I'm not one for confrontations so a grief-protected non-PVP player is perfect, especially with such a great community

For all my time in MC I'm not a very skilled builder. My department is more everything redstone-based so I spent most my time so far building all kinds of contraptions for my fair (at /warp fair, who would've known).

Well, this is all getting a bit long so I'll end it here. Many of you have probably heard some of these facts about me in the chat anyway and I don't wanna bore ya.

TL;DR I love you guys, good to be here

So...hey!

I'm keeping a record here of the stages of what used to be an ocean monument but is now going my base and maybe a small farm.

This is my first attempt at a natural looking build so any feedback would be great

If anyone wants to see more or has any questions, just ask.

Two-fold question.

1) How do we go about getting permission for a /warp location? 
    (I'm not after it yet - still some work to do.)

2) I've seen /warp signs on the server wich are clickable. How do we do that?

Cheers .. Retro

I will pay $20k in game for VIP2.. If you're willing to go through with this, just respond to the post. I will pay you when I see my VIP2 rank if you want to do the deal. Respond below! Oh, and if you don't think I have the money, I have $30,751 right now in game soooo... My in-game name is huntelaypark, if you didn't know. I'm already VIP1.

Hello everyone,
Would anyone be willing to upgrade me from VIP1 to VIP2 for in game money/items. Give me your prices. Thank you.
Have a nice day!

Hello everyone, as you have probably already seen on thread subject I'm in the market for Elytra. Don't know how rare they are or what the price might be, so even if you aren't selling one, let me know. Thank you.
Have a nice day.

Now that I have your attention...

Grimm and I had a short discussion on Discord this morning, ending in the idea that this thread should be made. Went a little something like:

Grimm: I seem to always miss the fun stuff. [In reference to a server issue]
Me: That's why you're not supposed to sleep, BatWolfe
Grimm: @Star BatWolfe? I'm not a billionaire though.
Me: Someday u.u
Grimm: If I became a billionaire, I'd give you all a small loan of a million dollars. Lol
Me: THANK YOU
Grimm: I mean, what else would I do with that much money? I'm a simple person, and a fraction of that amount would go a long way.
Me: I mean, I've thought about what I'd do if I won the lottery, and I'm pretty sure 60% of people here would be disappointed lmao
Grimm: What would you do? [we should make this a forum thread]
Me: [Let's do that]
Grimm: Needs a Dr. Evil quote. Name it: 100 trillion dollars, or something. XD

So yeah. If I won the lottery:

1. I'd buy a fast car and drive too fast down pretty streets and highways (at a time when there are no other drivers) Even if I get pulled over, it'd be something like "Officer, sorry, but I just really wanted to do this at least once"
1.5. Get a car that's not insanely expensive and flashy
2. If you don't know by now, I love travelling, so I'd check off my "Visit 100 different countries" item on my bucket list
3. Support local first responders get new equipment, vehicles, and manpower
4. Makeup and clothes and shopping oh my
5. Pay off loans :^)
6. Gaming PC of the Gods
7. Large house, and I'd foster tons of puppies and kittens until they could be adopted
8. Buy tons of songs
9. There are a couple people from HT I'd send money to, so hell yeah

There are tons of other things, I'll remember them later.

Anyone else?

Welcome [Guest] Darillium to Hometown!

I know it's not very important to most, but today is my one year anniversary on HT.

I'm so happy I found this server, it's one of the nicest I've ever been on. 
I've made so many wonderful friends and memories since joining, and I'm excited for many more.

I'm not very good at being sweet and sentimental about stuff like this so I'll keep it short before I start repeating myself.

I just wanted to say something special and to thank the people on HT for being so helpful and polite when I first joined. <3

Since the 1.10 Minecraft upgrade my Minecraft occasionally loads in NoSound mode with no way of fixing it unless I restart the game (and that doesn't work sometimes). No amount of Googling research found a solution either, and I've been putting up with this since the 1.10 update was released. I've always presumed it's a quirk of my computer.

Long story short; literally two days ago I accidentally found a solution, so if anyone reading this has this problem here's what to do ...  Load / unload (or unload / load) a texture pack.  For some stupid reason this makes the sound work again.

I've been struggling with this for the last 8 months, and I'm happy to have this solution but also annoyed that it was so stupidly simple to solve.
