Various Problems Topic; For those not-too-large problems

Okay, right now, there's a few problems I see:

1. The Death/Diamond Quotes

While this works good, there is quite a few grammar issues, (ArcLumin stabbed Cl3v3r1nd33d with their Diamond Sword!) and the diamond message is bugged, and goes off randomly every few minutes, even if no one has found any diamonds in a long time (Tested when I was the only one on the server. After I found diamonds once, went on for a long time)

2. Commands

Some of the commands that are generally standard or allowed aren't right now. Namely, /spawn, /mail, and even /kill wouldn't hurt (Bad pun). We have a mail system set up, why not implement it?

3. The Spawn

It's kinda.... Ugly? And not at all safe. The spawn is what players first see when they start playing the server, so having a nice spawn is good for getting large player amounts. Maybe a nice bedrock fortress? Doesn't have to be big, just safe.

Aaaaaaaand I had more problems, but I can't think of them right now. Oh well.

1. As far as I am aware, there are no grammar issues in the death messages. Provide an example? And what do you mean the diamond message?

2. /mail is being implimented. /spawn was considered a ruiner of pvp.

3. The spawn is a mess. I do try to fix it up every now and then, but those creepers. They see my nice everything, and destroy it. A adminium fortress could work, but it would look pretty awefull. There's definitely room for improvement there.

Is Property designation working? if so, place my name under control of it and let me use /item then i'll build something impressive (hopefully) at the spawn. Just an idea.
Also how does /spawn ruin PvP? if its simply warping away /home will do that as well.

That's an excellent point, Nuclear. On my original surivival server (for thoser that weren't around) we has a adminium tower in the ocean, the top of which was the spawn point. It never got messed up.

And Lone, only a few people (Sponsors) have access to /home, and it has a cool down. /spawn enables people to always escape others.

I provided an example in my text up there. "ArcLumin stabbed Cl3v3r1nd33d with their Diamond Sword". When using weapons for attacking, etc., it uses 'their' instead of a more fitting word.

I don't think /spawn would be bad. All you'd have to do is set a cool down on it.

Ah, I see what you mean. I was confused because that isn't the death fromat. Their is the best word. You can't say his/her because that isn't gender nuetral. The only other alternative is "a(n)" which just looks messy, in my opinion.

If you really think /spawn should be added, create a forum topic/poll for the addition of it.

Why not something like "Cl3v3r1nd33d was killed by ArcLumin's Diamond Sword"? That would fix the grammatical errors, without slopiness.

Simply put, there is a message every few minutes that someone has found diamonds. Even when there is no one else on the server.

/kill might be useful for situations where you are stuck/travelling, and as opposed to /spawn it has a clear disadvantage.

The diamond message Arc is referring to is the 'you shall find enlightenment at the forums, and mabye diamonds' which is just a plug for the forums but it does appear to frequently.
