Better Than Wolves Forum

Well, it’s been a long time, but I’ve finally gotten back into playing BTW, and I’d like to drag some of you in with me. I originally planned to name this server New Beginnings, but after talking to some people about it, The Gates to Hell was the only logical name for the server. I set this server up the other day, so a certain number of people are already on the whitelist, but we’re looking to expand over here in The Pit, our relatively small spawn add that we have going. Welcome all and enjoy the server!

Server IP: 192.99.38.198:25581

We also tend to use the btw discord channel to chat while playing:
https://discord.gg/3G8RBz3

Rules are simple:

1. Don’t be an ass
2. Don’t cheat
3. Don’t steal - if you have to survive then leave a post here explaining exactly what you took and why you took it, then beg forgiveness
4. No, I’m not dragging you back from your hardcore spawn, live with the mistake.

All rules are subject to my generous interpretation.

If you’d like to join the server and be added to the whitelist post a reply here with an application in the following form:

Minecraft Username (Case Sensitive I think?):

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!
2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game
3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?
4. Which mob do you hate most and why is it endermen?
5. Apples or oranges?
6. Beer, wine, or superior drinks?
7. For a universe whose metric is: ds^2 = -dt^2 +(t/t0)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) where t0 is some constant, is this universe saddle-like, flat, or spherical?

Minecraft Username (Case Sensitive I think?):Sucubussy

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!
I live and breath better than wolves. I normally just play single player but want to change my play style and give multiplayer a try!
2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game
Late game. Automation is my forte!
3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?
A little bit of both but automation if i had to choose.
4. Which mob do you hate most and why is it endermen?
Endermen are a pain but atleast you can hear them! Daang creepers get me all the time.
5. Apples or oranges?
Neither, vegetables are for the weak!
6. Beer, wine, or superior drinks?
Beer. Nothing is better than a nice beer on a hot summer day
7. For a universe whose metric is: ds^2 = -dt^2 +(t/t0)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) where t0 is some constant, is this universe saddle-like, flat, or spherical?
No

MC Username: Ethinolicbob

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!
I'm a technician on my dayjob. Micro-electronics, programming etc. Currently provisioning peoples house with fibre broadband.
As to why you should add me? *shrug* I live on the other side of the world so its rare anyone will see me online but I have the urge to do a play-through in a community again.

2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game
Mid-game. I love automation but I love the challenge of achieving this whilst having available resources and technology limited

3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?
I flip from one to the other. My last server I started making a super structure base and didn't get around to doing my usual automation so this time I think I will concentrate on automation.

4. Which mob do you hate most and why is it endermen?
Im fine with endermen. It's slimes that do me in. They are persistent so if you live near a swamp the numbers build up everywhere, in caves, in the rivers. You can't ignore them until they go away like a creeper.

5. Apples or oranges?
Apples. As a technician on the road nothing beats a fruit I can eat while driving that doesn't require peeling

6. Beer, wine, or superior drinks?
I'm a cider man these days, again back to the apple :D

7. For a universe whose metric is: ds^2 = -dt^2 +(t/t0)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) where t0 is some constant, is this universe saddle-like, flat, or spherical?
Ugg why did I fill out this knowing you put that question in it. It's my weekend and I am actively not looking at it in case I start thinking.

Great! Two new names on the whitelist, EthinolicBob and Sucubussy.

In addition I updated the server to BTW 4.A5 Pronged Poking!

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!
Been a while since I've really gotten into BTW, and I'm hoping joining a co-op server will allow me to change that!
2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game
Mid-game, I most enjoy progressing through the tech tree after having renewable food
3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?
Automation; unfortunately I've never been good at aesthetics
4. Which mob do you hate most and why is it endermen?
When exploring caves, skeletons for sure. Been sniped countless times.
5. Apples or oranges?
Oranges
6. Beer, wine, or superior drinks?
I don't drink much, although I always enjoy a fine root beer
7. For a universe whose metric is: ds^2 = -dt^2 +(t/t0)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) where t0 is some constant, is this universe saddle-like, flat, or spherical?
Just started taking a general relativity class this semester, although from what little differential geometry I know I'd say it looks spherical.

It says I'm not white-listed in the server

Minecraft Username (Case Sensitive I think?): I actually have two accounts, but I use Lunas_Eclipse

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!
I'm a 19year old person who enjoys BTW and recently has been getting back into it, and with the new additions it'll be fun to be experiencing them on a server with other peoples

2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game
Mid-game, seems to be where the mod really takes off

3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?
Aesthetics, even if I suck at 'em ;)

4. Which mob do you hate most and why is it endermen?
*angry tall person sounds*

5. Apples or oranges?
yes

6. Beer, wine, or superior drinks?
nope!

7. For a universe whose metric is: ds^2 = -dt^2 +(t/t0)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) where t0 is some constant, is this universe saddle-like, flat, or spherical?
That's for me to know and you to find out ;D

Sorry about that, I fixed your user and added others to the whitelist!

IGN: destinu

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!
I'm crazy. like, crazy, crazy =D, and also, i'm 27y old. OMG. Am I old too? =(

2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game
Early to mid-game.

3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?
A good aesthetic automatic build.

Square.

IGN:ryoloth

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!
I Enjoy long walks on the beach, hatsie watching, and enslaving entire colonies of villagers to take my unwanted items. You should add me because I make a good hatsie detector/sacrifice.

2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game
I enjoy mid/late game, haven't played to much early game on my own so I would love to do it with others to chat with.

3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?
The clunky mechanical look of automation is aesthetically pleasing, so I am not sure the question?

4. Which mob do you hate most and why is it endermen?
Damn endermen man, one second they are there, the next they misty step behind your ass and sneak attack you for an extra 3d6 piercing damage.

5. Apples or oranges?
Oranges, but only if they have ticking parts.

6. Beer, wine, or superior drinks?
A big bottle of rum and a long night of not working in the morning.

7. For a universe whose metric is: ds^2 = -dt^2 +(t/t0)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) where t0 is some constant, is this universe saddle-like, flat, or spherical?
Does the shape really matter as long as we have enough pancakes to shingle it?

Yes! I was hoping someone would make a new server with all the recent updating! here's my application:

Minecraft Username: Psion_Crystallis (feel free to just shorten it to Psion if theres nicknames on the server.)

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!

I love making contraptions! whether it's a fully automated farm, or a toggleable light system, or just a simple elevator, i'm always building new things and willing to help out with the guts of others creations!

2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game

Honestly, i love them all, early game for the challange, mid for the sense of progression, and late for all the fun things you can do.

3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?

I played puppetmaster in FFXI as a main job. When your job has an automaton as it's main mechanic, i think you can guess which. ;3

4. Which mob do you hate most and why is it endermen?

skeletons. those bastards always ALWAYS shoot me from the dark, and whittle me down to the point i can't kill them anymore.

5. Apples or oranges?

depends on the apple. :P if it's a perfectly ripe pink lady apple, it's gonna win. a homegrown blood orange though.... tough choices.

6. Beer, wine, or superior drinks?

Why would i have nasty rotten juice when i can enjoy real juice? or maybe a coffee ice cream shake with chocolate and carmel turtles... mmm...

7. For a universe whose metric is: ds^2 = -dt^2 +(t/t0)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) where t0 is some constant, is this universe saddle-like, flat, or spherical?

THE POWER OF PHILLIP COMPELS THEE, MATH! ::brandishes rotten flesh::

Hmm i seem to be getting a not whitelisted aswell.

Would everyone try again? Everyone should be added properly

i initially had a bad login error, but restarting minecraft fixed it. i'm in! thanks a bunch! \:D/

Hooray!
Loaded in... in the water... at night.... nope!

Loaded in just fine, thanks for the add!

Is the main spawn going to be a community base to build up and expand, or are we all going off our separate ways?

Minecraft Username (Case Sensitive I think?): Lockeofamber

1. Tell me something about yourself, tell me why I should add you!
I pretty much only play BTW as opposed to Banilla or other mods, Mostly SSP. I’ve been wanting to play with others at the very early stages of a server, as I feel the challenge would be extra fun with others. Have experience on Amalga a couple of years ago.

2. Preference: Early-game, Mid-game, or Late-game
I like all three, but mostly prefer early and mid game as I feel like I haven’t yet “earned” access to late game stuff since most of the difficulty was ratcheted up. Would like to finally “earn” it with some friends :-)

3. Priority: Aesthetics or Automation?
Practicality over appearance is my playstyle. I like to learn about both though.

4. Which mob do you hate most and why is it
Though endermen will always suck, it’s the obnoxious sniper skeletons that I hate the most. I feel that if you can’t lure them to you (or are already too weak to survive a face off), you have to hide until you heal up to face them. Jerks have wasted hours of my life this way!

5. Apples or oranges?
Apples.

6. Beer, wine, or superior drinks?
Depends on my mood, the company, and the quality of the spirits. Will drink any though.

7. For a universe whose metric is: ds^2 = -dt^2 +(t/t0)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2) where t0 is some constant, is this universe saddle-like, flat, or spherical?
Ugh. I haven’t had to try math like this in 20 years. I’m certain the object my solution might take would look far more hideous than any of these options.

Sorry guys for not being active on the server over today and yesterday. I caught the flu and it's absolutely horrible. Adding some people to the whitelist now.

Updated the OP with the discord we generally use.

Hid the deathcount to stop it from being demoralizing. Should still be available if you press tab, it's just not constantly visible. Also your scores were reset.

Sorry guys, i ll probably not play for a few months...my internet connection sucks really hard, and get lag in btw is kind of extra-plus hardcore. I give all my stuffs to someone that i dont remember the minecraft nick (sorry bro xD) and put the vessel of dragon and some pistons and dispenser at the valuable chest....hope that i can upgrade my internet speed, so i can play quietly.
P.S i can loggin sometimes just for chat, i kind of like chatting with u =p

No worries! Hope you can play more soon!

If you're down for a chat we've got a pretty good chat system on Vioki's discord, pretty sure Gates linked it in the OP :D

Because I'm an idiot I forgot to save my scheduled restart task. The server should have significantly less lag now. Server restarts at 8:30 PM EST every day.

It’s exciting to see all the projects we’ve managed to accomplish since the server started, but I gotta ask for some help with my latest project. Working on a nether rail to our villager pens,and I need a very very large amount of iron or rails. Donations would be greatly appreciated!

And as always the whitelist is open for recruitment if anyone is still looking to join!
