As I said, it&#8217;s not something I should be concerned with.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, I keep worrying about the &#8220;what if&#8221;&#8216;s. Like, what if a griefer started placing minecart after minecart and sended them down the line towards a station to fuck up my work?<br \/>\nThe answer is quite easy, and was given to me who seems like an expert at dealing with griefers (even has a grief-proof metro system). Build empty cart destroy hubs every 50 blocks next to straight track sections. Simple, yet ingenious.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I worry about, is what if I make my server public. What would they say about my map? What would they say about my transit system, and its stations?<br \/>\nI first thought angry could host the map on one of his servers, but he can&#8217;t. So the best thing to do is when I feel the map is ready, simply release it on minecraftforum.net. That way, I won&#8217;t have to deal with griefers&#8230; just people with opinions.<\/p>\n<p> I know one of Simon&#8217;s friends, Devoid, loves the work I put into the WAYWARD LINE. This makes me feel that what I&#8217;m doing is the good thing.<br \/>\nBut as they say, you can&#8217;t impress everyone.<br \/>\nHe hasn&#8217;t seen the WAYWARD LINE past Wayward Desert station yet.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of that guy who told me what he&#8217;ll do if he saw what I mentioned, I saw his video and noticed how most of the work put into that map, was done by members in his server. Even these two epic bridges I saw. The suspension bridge is nearly like the one I built years ago in my little creative map, except back then we didn&#8217;t have fences to use as rope.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m thinking of replacing the Wayward Bridge (the bridge between Residential and Stone Tower) with a suspension bridge that looks like that. It would be so epic&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as I said before, almost everything was built by members of his server. And I saw things around his transit system that made me think about mine. It would be cool to pass by things like this when riding the rails of the W2TS.<br \/>\nSo yesterday (Thursday), I PM&#8217;d Simon and asked him if he could come to my server and build things around the transit system to make the map look like it&#8217;s seen activity. He told me to use Facebook to get visitors to the server. This tugged at my emotions, very painfully.<br \/>\nWhat I was trying to tell him is to get his friends to help, so him and Devoid joined and started building a few things.<br \/>\nThis is why I haven&#8217;t gone back to WoW. I&#8217;m having to make my server more active for them.<\/p>\n<p>Devoid has been working on a maze and a pyramid in Wayward Desert, and Simon, not taking anything seriously, starts using TNT everywhere. I had to kick him out a few times until he stopped. Today, I had to find a &#8220;TNT banner&#8221; plugin to stop him, and that was quite embarrassing having to ask that it would stop OPs, including myself, from spawning TNT.<br \/>\nBut I got a plugin that allows spawning, but disables placing it. It keeps putting it back in your inventory.<br \/>\nSimon did not like what I did, then went to using fire instead. So now I got to ban fire&#8230;<br \/>\nOr I can just revoke his OP status.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nSince I haven&#8217;t really put work into that webpage I mentioned before, I&#8217;m going to now begin to make all stations on the BENIE LINE automated.<br \/>\nThe biggest task, will be possibly Cactus Park station. Due to its concourse directly under it. If I was to raise the station platforms up a level, I would have to add more stair blocks.<br \/>\nMaybe I can figure out something.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also two more stations that might be troubling;<br \/>\n1. Valley station, due to the changes I made to have doors and a concourse. Could be problematic when I try to set up the cart call system.<\/p>\n<p>2. House Memorial \/ Canal stations. Both still use the old design I made for underground stations. And House Memorial is going to be tricky. Not only do I have to wire the redstone, I have to improve it to show it&#8217;s the Main Station of the BENIE LINE.<br \/>\nI had a slight idea for a bookstore in one of the walls of the station, but it keeps going *poof* due to the redstone wiring. Maybe angry can help me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For weeks, if not months, I&#8217;ve been worrying about trivial shit I don&#8217;t need to; how to deal with griefing on my private server.
