WarpedJester Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) I. Introduction Bottle Rocket Gaming is a Community & New Media gaming clan created by a small group of real world friends that wanted to create a better place to play. A long time ago, on a server far, far away a collective of real world friends came together to play a game called MineCraft. Each member brought with them a skill set that complemented one another; Seshaela - Miner, Argentum - Explorer, Viesti - Magician, WarpedJester - Architect, Turgo – Logistics, Heather – Designer, and BunnyFooFoo -… umm… bunny. Each one able to do a lot on their own but together destine to do even greater things. And so began an epic tale of epic builds and epic epicness…. But… Then came… the dark days. The server they were on became plagued with issues, lag, locks, talks of sever resets. Change was coming and the future seemed bleak. It was time to gather the collective and talked of what could be done to make their own server, a better server, a better community. This was the birth of what would be Bottle Rocket Gaming. II. The Goal Our core goal is to build, support and promote community. In addition to that, we work hard to create a environment ideal for new media content creators (we’re looking at you youtubers) III. Who We Are We are a fully supported gaming community providing support and service such as Social network, web forums, voice service and of course, a white list MineCraft server. On the topic of MineCraft, We run a custom mod pack that is geared around logistics and big builds. Our current theme is custom city builds (magic town, Forestry town, etc) and creating the logistics to connect them via rail line. Why rail line?... Because in our world, there is no teleportation (queue dramatic music). IV. What We Are Looking For We are looking for people who are into doing big builds. There are lots of community Projects that you can help with as well the opportunity to create and head your own! Again we do put a lot of stock in the ethos of “Quality over Quantity”. Our server plays host to a community of youtube content creators and other MineCrafters. Because of this, we are strict when it comes to who we add into our fold. A big part of what we are looking for is getting to know you, works you have done, etc. Have a story? Tell us about it. Got pictures? Post them on our site. have youtube content? Send us a link, We will check it out! Please be aware, we do “background” checks. If you have a history of bans then be ready to tell your side of it. Rules: This is a "highlight" of the rules. you can read the full details HERE As expected, the rules we have are much like the rules of any guild, which, when you boil it down, results in the "Don't be a d!ck" out line. Griefing: No Griefing as defined by the following: Causing grief to other members of an online community, or more specifically, disrupting the immersion of another player with malice intent. Language: Words that are on the "Red list" and will not be tolerated; Any type of derogatory comment or racial slur; racist, sexiest, gender oriented, etc., General swearing such as F**k, S**t, etc, we really could not give less of a s**t about =). Age: We are a 18+ guild. Sorry kids, it’s nothing personal but as you can see from the details above, we can be less then PG at times and that does not go over well with kids in the room. V. How to Apply Step 1) Head on over to http://www.bottleroc...aming.com/About and read our guild charter. If you like what you see and you think we are a good fit for you then jump over to http://www.bottlerocketgaming.com/join and fill in the blanks. Once your signed up, feel to leave a post on your wall and say hello. Step 2) If you are interested in joining our MineCraft server (which i assume you are if you are reading this) then you should read up on our rules (http://www.bottleroc.../forum/topic/20). Step 3) if you have done everything else then all that is left to do is to drop a post on our white list application page (http://www.bottleroc.../forum/topic/11) and let us know your interested. Once done, you are welcome to head over to the Technic web site and DL/install the Technic launcher (http://www.technicpack.net/download) . full details of how to install and set up with our mod pack are posted HERE but for the sake of simplicity, you can install our mod pack from the Technic launcher by clicking on "add pack" and pasting the following link (http://www.technicpack.net/api/modpack/bottle-rocket-gaming-m-80). once you are all set up just add our server address " mc.bottlerocketgaming.com" and you are ready to rock. VI. TIPS Conversation goes along way with us. We understand that not all good people have a “resume” or Porfirio of stuff to show off. That said, just taking the time to sign up and read up on our site goes a long way. More so, we have our team speak information on our forums, hop on and say hi. We put a lot of stock in getting a chance to talk and get to know you. Thats that, we look forward to hearing from you!

WarpedJester Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hey everyone! just wanted to give another quick update. We are still plugging along with projects and other fun. one of our community members (A.D.D.F Toxic) has taken over as lead architect of Rail planning and is finishing our item depo that we have dubbed "the parkcade" and i have shifted my focus to other projects that need attention, namely, Power plant updates. Our old steam power plant is capped out and in bad need of a upgrade so i figure its about time we try and fix that. As with most of our projects, its a logistics project and a fun one at that. If this is the kind of community builds that interest you then please feel free to visit us at www.bottlerocketgaming.com and apply on our forums today! Enjoy the sneak peek =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firehead94 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Do you have a banned items list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpedJester Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Do you have a banned items list? For the most part we do are best to update the mod pack configs to just remove items we don't want/need in our pack. that said, due to the way some mods work (like Thaum craft) we can't disable some items such as mirrors so we make the community aware of then and have a gentlemen agreement to not use them.
