Looking at the post below this post-wall, I forgot that PSHS exists. I wonder how it manifests in the current generations of former Minecraft server mods. :v (3588)

Good question, I don't have an answer (3589)

hypixel is the only server that effectively exists nowadays so it wouldnt be hard to find out probably

Hmm... Hypixel has a forums page, I see... It would probably be as simple as posting a thread asking how it's manifested there. (3591)

Maybe so (3592)

Imagine all the AI-written threads and staff applications we would've gotten if AI existed while Brawl was still around. (3593)

Perhaps Brawl died at the right time. (3594)

Honestly there were plenty of apps that were generated for sure (3595)

tbh half the staff apps were probably written by their parents so it wouldnt matter either way

Didn't think of that, rmure. You might be right. (3597)

Never thought of that either honestly? Begs the question as to how many were accepted and done that way (3598)

Looking back on things, it's pretty weird to think that there were literal children in positions of authority here. (3599)

I'm not even surprised now that I think about it (3600)

Because of how things were run, or what? lol (3601)

Yeah, I mean Minecraft was considered a kids game at the time too. Also I'm sure some people lied about how old they were, also found that out in due time. (3602)

How did this thing get pushed to the bottom of the page? (3603)

XxPandaLuvxX made a new post on my profile. New profile posts shift things further back. (3604)

A new profile post in this year? Wow (3605)

You love to see it. (3606)

Yeah but a surprise (3607)

warz players killed brawl ill stand by this view

Eh, they were one of the server's most dedicated playerbases, so idk. I just think that most people didn't like the gamemodes enough to stick around. That, and a lot of them were tough to break into. There was no skill-based matchmaking in any of the gamemodes, so if you were new, chances were you just joined and died until you left.
(3609)

Unfortunately that's very true, the skill gap for stuff like wild West, warz, tracking in raid, and ctf mechanics made it rough. Only not full on skill based would be party but even then so, you kinda needed some for certain games. (3610)

Hence why Party did as well/lasted as long as it did. Even today, there are super popular Squid-game-esque games on Steam, and they have some of the same minigames as Party did all those years ago. (3611)

Sad that soup pvp was outdated also (3612)

Something underappreciated about legacy War, I think, was that it was basically impossible to cheat effectively at it. At the end of the day, you still had to lead your shots. Tracers didn't matter because of visible nametags, macroing didn't matter since combos weren't a big part of the game, etc. Everywhere else it was hard to keep up with the constant hacking, WarZ and Kitbrawl for example. (3613)

warz had a hacks problem because the mods intentionally refused to ban cheaters even after they were caught with hacked clients

Oh? I wasn't aware, though I could believe it. Anyone in particular you have in mind? (3615)

Plenty of people in mind, and I'd say unfortunately some staff probably cheated too under the radar (3616)

I can honestly say that, to this day, I've never used a hacked client. (3617)

got invited to a private disc server like 5 years ago with a bunch of current warz mods and smods talking with players that were banned for cheating, ddosing etc

a lot of stuff started making perfect sense when i found out about it

brawl staff post like 2015 were corrupt as **** lol

Wow, that's crazy. (3620)

That doesn't surprise me one bit since I talked to some people and found out how they covered each other (3621)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Maybe it was different in most of my circles within the staff. Something tells me none of these old war mods and party mods were hacking much. :v (3622)

Well we all know one former party staff member that was cheating (surprisingly) but as for war I don't know. (3623)

Who was it again? That sounds familiar. (3624)

Purest and I believe he reapplied to the staff team admitting to it also somewhere (3625)

That's a throwback. He played Wild West a bunch too iirc. (3626)

I forgot he played that too (3627)

So was he hacking on Party or Wild West? Because there was a lot of incentive to use X-Ray on the latter. (3628)

https://www.mcbrawl.com/threads/72590/#post-926496 I found the thread but it doesn't really say (3629)

Just checked how old some of the threads I'm still active on are, and that led me to check this post-chain too. This is over a decade old at this point. That's truly insane. (3630)

I agree it's crazy! I feel old now with this :( (3631)

I wonder how many alerts @iMacro is going to come back to, assuming he will come back and check again. He was last seen November 28, 2023. So how many times have we posted here since then? (3632)

Oh lord, probably a couple hundred if anything (3633)

Yikes, I just checked and this was dead for almost all of 2024. His post was 3560. That means that it hasn't even been 100 posts. We clearly need to up our game if it's been almost two whole years and we haven't posted here a hundred times since then. (3634)

Oh wow, but that does make sense (3635)

You've played the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games before, right? (3636)

i used to think pmd stood for pre menstrual disorder or something
