Daily Update + Clans Update... Update!

CTP: Cypher Victory!

CTP went on today and Cypher took the win for the first time in 3 weeks over AAA and BHS who competed. Cypher rallied many members into their clan for the CTP to take place which showed their great interest in the End today.. but why? The End and Nether reset every month and when it resets you are able to kill the Ender Dragon for great rewards including the Dragon Egg and 100+ levels.

Clans Update... Update!

The Clans plugin that Intoxicated uses is unconfigurable of it's amount of players in each clan and it's allies without the source code. The admins are unable to limit both automatically, so today they noted they would be doing manually. Any clan with over an undecided amount (in between 10-15) will be deleted. There has been no official confirmation as of how many people will be the max in each clan.

  • Allies can not be handled. You can have as many allies as you want.
  • Clans can only have an undecided amount of members (15). No official confirmation as of now. Once a official note has been made, I will update this.
NEW UPDATE: The maximum amount of people each clan can have before being manually deleted is 15. Gear up!

Intoxicated Clans Update (6/30/13)

MrBarnabus has attracted the Administrators attention today with posting a well explained suggestion on the forums which include: limiting the amount of people in the clan, and the amount of allies (DarkDwain suggested the limited amount of allies). MrBarnabus explained how CTP was getting not fun for a lot of the clans as it's not as competitive, and it's easy for the big clan to overpower the others. It's not about teamwork or skill anymore, it's about numbers. CTP should provide risk, and not be an uphill fight and weighted towards one clan each time.

5FDP420 noted today that this change will come into effect on 6/30/13 at approximately 1AM his time. He's going to limit the amount of people you can have in each clan to 10, and he's also going to limit the amount of allies to 3. "It's either limiting clans/allies, or we remove CTP and clans in general", 5FDP420 said.

Intoxicated Clans Change

  • Clans will have a limit of only 10 people.
  • Clans will have a limit to only 3 allies per clan.
CTP will be up for capture tomorrow, Sunday (6/30/13) at 1:30 Mountain Time. To compare your time to Mountain Time go here: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/mountain-time/ 

- 3:30 Eastern Time

CTP and Downtime

Today, CTP went down again and AAA (Anal Astronauts) took the portal from Cypher and CTK who seemed to be the only contenders. AAA once again had a huge amount of players to defend the portal.

There's been lots of downtime today due to massive DDoS/DoS attacks from anonymous people. The attacks were said to have around a power and speed of 1gbps. If you are unable to connect to the server, make sure you try all 4 of these IPs:
  • intoxicated.aviditygaming.com
  • intox.aviditygaming.com
  • intoxicated2.aviditygaming.com
  • 198.15.98.226
One of those IPs should work if some of them are down. Intoxicated and Intox have been down, but the direct IP (198.15.98.226) seems to work fine.

By the way, some of the admins on the server today advertised their twitch.tv if you'd like to go and watch.

Site Update

I added a few more little gadgets to help viewers, and make it easier.

First of all, to remind you, if you're looking for an item press CTRL and F to bring up a search user interface from your browser. This is how you can find the items and prices within the spreadsheet. If I could make it easier, I would sadly Google Web Elements and it's spreadsheet API was discontinued so I'm unable to code a custom search bar for JUST the spreadsheet.

I added a gadget on the right of the blog posts that will contain all helpful and related links to Intoxicated and AvidityGaming in general. Click on them and you'll be taken to the link.

If you have any questions, comments, or have any suggestions PM me on the server (Inhale_). I'm always open for criticism, and if I have a bad price for something talk to me about it. I'm not going to be perfect, and that's what this is about. I'm trying to forward and give every player the ability to see what item costs what, and it's "quality" within the server.

Thanks! (btw, we hit 175 views in total!)

Progress as of 6/25/13

Welcome!

This is my first blog post for this blog, and I'd like to welcome everyone who has visited and is starting to visit.

If you don't know what this is, it's a spreadsheet / pricing guide for the Minecraft Intoxicated Drug Server. Here you can find all of the up to date prices with the constantly changing economy within the drug server. The prices and new items will be added daily to insure all of the prices are up to date, and new items or important items that were not added have their price set.

I can not code or add a functional in-web search bar that can search through the spreadsheet only as Google Web Elements was discontinued many years ago. The only (and best way) to search through the spreadsheet for your item is to press CTRL+F and type the item name or quality in there. All items are organized by quality. The "quality" of an item is based on how rare it is. Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Ultra-Rare are the ranks in order to what is more valuable.

As I go through the items I will continue to edit these qualities and add more if needed, but these are the general ranks.

---

As for the progress, I'd estimate I'm about at 50% done with all of the most important items that need to be on here. I have a bunch of items that aren't "important" IE 5FDP420's head (just kidding), but that's because they're rare and I felt like adding them. I'll have all the important and need items on, and once done it'll be complete and I'll continue to update prices and add more as the server goes on.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or just wanna ask me questions, PM Inhale_ on the server or comment on this blogpost.

Thanks!
