Intoxicated "Griefed"!

What happened?


As many of you know if you've played Intoxicated, jimxjimx was an old Sr Admin. He helped start the server. 3 weeks ago, he resigned from his position and hasn't shown up until yesterday. He showed up on the server with his accounts "ranbuscus" (excuse me if I don't spell it correctly) and "Ragestrr". Everything was normal until ranbuscus threatened to demote a member, Junkfoodink after he had jailed him permanently. Ranbuscus also was promoted to Patrone almost instantly as if an admin had given him it, along with the fact that it was reported he had 1000+ Axes (McMMO skill) at one point whilst fighting at the border.

Today, 7/16/13, Ragestrr showed up again. This time, spawn was griefed with multiple interior and exterior explosions / griefs, mobs were spawned everywhere including the Ender Dragon, and when you died no one was losing items. The server continued to gain more and more havoc and chaos, the lag was severe, and then the server was finally shut down by _Xiae and is quickly working to resolve the problem.

During the mob spawning, the server began to get very laggy and feel like it was being DDoSed. Here is a picture taken by ShawnHalogen showing what he was doing at one point:


Here is _Xiae's reply to what happened in the past hour:



What's being done now?

_Xiae is currently working on fixing the server. He says that there's a possible back door / security compromise within the system, and is quickly working to check and resolve it. Once done, he plans to rollback the server. Mind you, the rollback is most likely going to be a 24-48 hour rollback.

The server should be back up within 1-3 hours. _Xiae is working hard to make sure the server is not compromised, and so that we can all play without fear of being hacked, or shut down.

Please note, there WILL be a rollback. Anything you've done within the past 2 days will most likely be rolled back. It's either that, or he has to repair everything that's happened within the server as of now including the grief, and possible items that were given out, etc.

Intoxicated McMMO Nerf

2 McMMO skills were nerfed today on Intoxicated as a mass complaint of the skills being overpowered.

With the new update of 1.6.x, P4 was nerfed and many potions were changed. In order to scale with the change, Swords were nerfed down to the cap of 400. Axes were nerfed down to the cap of 300. The reason for this nerf was to scale with the update of 1.6 and it's changes to armor (P4 specifically) and many of the pots such as the STR2 pot which now gives you 260%+ Strength.

Here is a video that was recorded by Pistolton showing how OP swords were when xLukeeex was at 800 swords (the previous cap).

Intoxicated Updated to 1.6.2

Intoxicated was updated to 1.6.2 and it was updated by _Xiae yesterday, a few hours before CTP. 1.6.2 wasn't completely implemented into the server as _Xiae had to configure some things, and allow horses to be spawned. Today the horses were implemented and you are able to find them in their discreet areas / spawn points.

Make sure you download the new 1.6.x launcher from http://www.minecraft.net/download to be able to play on Intoxicated.

Intoxsheet for Mac (Update #3)

Alright, probably the last update on the Intoxsheet for Mac for a while. This'll clear everything on, and also give an ETA on when it'll be compatible for all those who use macs/just can't see the regular spreadsheet.

I found out how to do it, I have it drafted out in my head, and I've already started working on the actual page. I'm gonna start working on the design and table, and Intoxsheet SHOULD be compatible by (meaning I could have it done tomorrow, but it most likely won't be. 7/5/13 is just when it'll be 100% done for sure)  July 15th, 2013. I'll have a page added in which anyone can access if you can't see the regular spreadsheet. Like I said before, it's gonna be a pure html and css table so you can use CTRL+F, and so I can update it with ease.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions please PM V7s / Inhale_ in game.

Thanks!

New Additions to the Mall and plots repo'd!

A new addition that has been quite popular since added was added to the Mall today - in the back left of the mall there is an area where you are able to pay 1mil to have your head put on, with your name above it, and your own quote below it. The spot is permanent, but the spots are limited to about 20 people. So far around 6 have been taken.

Here's a picture of this area as of 7/5/13 at 8:53PM Mountain Time:




Along with that addition to the Mall, Ball__So__Hard asked the server what they want to spend their in game money on.. The majority opinion was on homes/new plots. Ball__So__Hard repo'd 3 plots from where the owner was inactive for over 30 days, and made them available. 

The plots that were made available:

  • #12 - Medium
  • #13 - Medium
  • #23 - Small
Not even a minute after Ball__So__Hard made the announcement that he made these plots available, all plots were already bought. The current owners of the new plots are unknown.

Intoxsheet for Mac Update

Today I started to work on the Intoxsheet for Mac, but I ran into a big problem which has me banging my head into the wall. I need to find a way to make it so that Mac users can see it, and obviously 50% of the Mac/Apple users are unable to see it. Some can, some can't, but that's no excuse. I want EVERYONE to be able to use it and see it which is the problem I'm at.

Here is what my inital idea was: I was going to make one huge picture that has everything from the spreadsheet in it, put it on a new page, and then mac users can see it directly off of that. Bad thing is, Blogger doesn't allow me to create a whole new page. I have to use the same front page (it'd have the headers, the sheet, the logo, etc). That's one problem I ran into, and the bigger problem is that the picture is too big. It's so big it actually unaligns all of the page and makes it look terrible.

What's next? Well, I have another idea in mind, but it's gonna make me go a whole nother step. I'm gonna have to make a manual table using html/css (it'll look very similar to the regular Google spreadsheet), but it's gonna be made with pure css and html. It's gonna have me work a LOT and I'll have to update both. Though, updating the manual table would be easier than updating the picture. I'm gonna try this idea on 7/5/13 and I'll tell you guys how it goes.

If you have suggestions, comments, or questions PM V7s or Inhale_ on the server.

Thanks!

Intoxsheet for Mac Information

Hey,

I've been getting many complaints that Mac / Apple product users are unable to see the spreadsheet so I'm going to be implementing a way that they can see it. It'll be a lot of manual work for me because the only way I can do it is by making it one huge picture, so I'll be updating that every 2-3 days to make it easier on me. I'm not gonna be updating the sheet everyday, but even if I do, the Mac/Apple product users will not be able to see the update until 1-3 days after.

I'll be implementing/working on this addition for Mac users on 7/3/13 and should have it done the same day. Editing the picture and making it one huge picture is what's gonna take the longest. Thanks for your patience.

If you have any suggestions, comments, or have a question PM V7s or Inhale_ on the server.


Thanks,
Garett

New Ultra Rare Items, Updates, and a New Exploit

Today, Eccentrics AKA MrTea (MrTeaHD) did a donor only drop party in the donor mine which consisted of some common things such as diamonds and iron. He then began giving out "special" / ultra rare items such as the ones listed below:
  • "Pimp Suit" - Golden Armor Set consisting of P4 and U3 enchanted on every piece and renamed to "Pimp Suit".
  • "Pimp Stick" - A golden hoe that has Knockback V enchanted on it and is renamed to "Pimp Stick".
  • Rose - A rose with an enchantment of Thorns X. Approx 10 of these were given out.

Later, MrTea and Axios18 1v1'd in the Arena. Many people got bored and left until 5F noted that he'd be hosting a drop party right after in which he did. He dropped some of the normal stuff, and here are the special items that he added and were added to the sheet:
  • "Magic Mushroom" - A Red Mushroom with Thorns 8. There's only 5 on the server, and handed out at the 5F drop.
  • Yellow Flower - Enchanted with Sharpness 7 and the lore is: "Flower of Love". Only 5 on the server and handed out at 5FDP420's drop parties.
  • "Swim Fish" - A fish that is enchanted with Looting 5 and given out at MrTea's second drop party. Lore says "King of the Sea from MrTea's drop party"
  • Sugar Cane - Sugar of Love that has Knockback 20 on it and was given out by 5FDP420.
Anyways, I'm still investigating to get all of the rare items. If you got a rare item that was given out at a drop party and it's not added on the sheet please PM V7s or Inhale_ on the server. Thanks!



I'm gonna start posting a blog post everytime I update the sheet massively such as today when many items were given out. I'm thinking of a format, but I'm not sure. At this time, I'm just noting everything I have found or know about.





New Exploit that'll get you banned: 
Making a clan with the same name as another to get into the End is an exploit and will get you banned for one day. Multiple offenses will result in a permenant ban. There should only be one clan in the End 5F said, so stop doing it. Users were making new clans and naming it "Cypher" just to get back into the End in which they succeeded. To bypass the system, all you have to do is make a clan tag that is different.
