    I've been playing on the MC-War servers for a while, and I really love the server. However, I only recently started perusing the forums. The community for MC-War seems very nice, and I would like to become more involved. So my question is two-fold:

    First, what are some ways to become active in the community?
    Second, is there anything I can do to help? (Other than the obvious things like don't spam, follow the rules, etc.

    Best,
    Tridragon22

    Be nice, report bugs/glitches, don't abuse bugs/glitches, respect other players.

    3. Look up on all forums pages
    4. Get lots of posts
    5. Make your own threads
    6. Apply for mod

    You can try to apply for mod when you get 300 messages and very active @tridragon22.
    However... if you try to apply for mod right now it would most likely get denied. Just keep that in-mind.

    You can simply start just like any other person on this forum. Start in threads you feel comfortable in and discuss there. Simply putting in your two cents about a topic is good enough. You can also try the forum games. While they don't increase post counts, they are a fun way to waste time with fellow members.

    About the second question, I don't know if that is referring to the forums or servers. I am assuming the servers. If the forums, you don't really have to worry about that. It is our job as staff to keep the forums under control. You simply stating "don't spam" won't do anything unfortunately. All it will do is just advocate these people to do more inappropriate things.

    Server-wise, you can some things. Our forum has a rule breaker section, linked here , and you can screenshot and player you feel is breaking rules. Monitoring players who were not behaving is what I did before I became a moderator, and it worked somewhat.

    If you ARE thinking of applying for staff, please take my advice. Do not do that. Yet. As of now you are too new to be considered. I would wait around two months and get your post count to at least 300 before considering. And, if anything, try to not apply for MC-War. As of now, we are not accepting those moderators. We are, however, accepting WarZ mods and MinecraftParty mods, so you can apply for the later.

    Feel free to PM me about anything you are wondering about in our forums.

    1. Be sure to check the forums everyday to keep up to date with what is happening. Play on the servers a lot and try to be nice with other people so the community likes you. Also, if you want to really get close to the community, try using TS3 to chat with us!
    2. Reporting rule breakers, in the server and in the forums. Always helps!

    Try checking this also. Welcome.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I was actually looking for the rulebook, as I don't want to have egg on my face from calling someone else a rule breaker. Could you point me towards it?

    Regarding the staff application, hahaha no. I know i'm too new and don't have nearly enough posts. Right now my goal is to have fun on MC-War and make a clan that is available to people who want to learn tips and tricks. Unfortunately, I'm not 31 yet :frowning:

    This last part is for everyone who has responded with postive feedback. Thank you for taking the time to guide me in the right direction. I really do appreciate it.

    Best,
    Tridragon22 (no one saw what was here before) (lol habit)

    When someone asks how they can become active in the community, they probably only ask that because they want to be mod.

    When i read through the comments, many members said: Report Hackers.
    This isn't as easy as they say.
    I haven't reportet anything yet; not because i don't want to, but i don't see any of them.
    So my tip: Just write your opinion in discussions, map submissions, ...
    Good luck, keep going.

    Sorry if it seems that way. As much as I would love to become a Mc-War mod, I'm:

    a) Absolutely new to the forums
    b) Not even lvl 31 in mc-war

    So yes, my intention of asking how I can become more active is partially to start building a good reputation in the community as someone who can counted on, which will assist me later if I do apply for becoming a mod.

    Side Note: Is there any place where I can view the update notes? I've been looking around, but I can't find them.

    Well, atleast you're being smart unlike most of those new people. You can view update notes in the news and info section.

    Sure! My username is tridragon22 and I live in southern Cali. My passions are video games (duh) and the use of games in education. I co-teach an elective at a local charter school where we use Minecraft to teach various 21-century skills like collaboration and communication, as well as traditional subjects like math, science, english, language arts, etc.

    I've been on the MC-War servers for about 7 months now, but I only recently joined the forum (read: 2 days) My favorite weapon is the crossbow, mainly because you can pull some crazy plays off with it. As for non-donor, I personally prefer the ak and magnum. My most memorable moment while playing MC-War was getting a pentakill with a single c-bow shot. (lol League reference)

    I'm generally on #2 so if you want to say hi in-game, you'll find me there.

    Best,
