DUE TO SERVER LIMITATIONS, we are not accepting any new players for a time. We need to get to know the probies we have taken on in the past two weeks and see if all of them are worth keeping.

MCPostcard7.png


Dogs of the State is a gaming community that has been playing games together for over 5 years now. We've also been running a Minecraft server since Multiplayer went live, and have gone through several different town/server configurations as the biome code has changed.

If you are mature, seeking a tight-knit community, and wanting to be part of a fun and massive build while helping each-other survive "Dogs of the State" is the place for you. We now have instituted an age restriction of 18+. We are only looking for the best and most friendly players, who can also communicate well and are looking for a constant community to spread their wings in.

We currently have a 20 slot server and average 10 players at our peak hours. To justify keeping the lights on we are seeking more players.

Important: Please take the time to read all of this as it will help you understand our vision better.

As a fluke, several active duty personnel (and vets) chose to make the Dogs of the State: Kingdom their home. They now make up about 60% of our player-base. The administrator has an intimate knowledge of that life, and in making that connection has chosen to make this an additional selling point. As an added bonus, Military personnel (of any branch, of any country, past or present) be sure to mention your branch, and rank, on your application.

Thank you, for your service and dedication to your country.

  • Be Sure you Can Read and Write (I cannot stress this enough).
  • Be, Mature.
    • Maturity is the biggest thing on our server. As of this writing we are not 18+ anymore. However that is still a good a good starting place.
    • We will accept those who are younger than 18 IF they have proven mature, are well spoken, take direction well, and are fun to be around.
  • Those who are not 18+ require someone to sponsor them (see application).
  • QUALITY OF CHARACTER
    • We do not tolerate lying, cheating, stealing, or generally annoying immaturity. You will be banned for these offenses.
  • Do NOT come on our server and ask to skip the application process: you will be told it is against the rules. If you aren't old enough to have a parent's permission to access email, and a forum account to reply to this thread, you are definitely not old enough to play on the server.
  • If you cannot speak eloquently, type full words, or only speak in LEET, we DO NOT want you. Some shorthand, sometimes, is alright. Just, please, try to type for real. "Use your words Billy". If you can't be bothered to type "ok" instead of "kk". We don't want you.
  • Players who come onto the server, look around, and ask how to have Player rights will be kicked. It shows you didn't READ this post, you were probably just looking for a server to play on. Those who are kicked, and don't then apply, but keep joining will be banned; yes it has come to this.
  • Any resources in your house or pocket are yours. Otherwise we are a commune and share our goods. Public chests are public, share with others, refill what you take. Thieves will be banned.
  • You may only have one "house" (aka place to store your crap).
  • One Last Note: If you have a problem on the server, talk to someone. We are adults. This is an 18+ server. We can "talk". If you can't talk to one person, talk to another, come to -me-. One thing I will NOT abide though is this "woe is me, no one loves me, I have it hard, I can't do anything" crap. If you have come to the server -solely- for attention and affection, you are in the wrong place. We won't tell you how cool you are and how you shouldn't leave us and how empty our lives will be if you go. If you are here to have a good time, make friends, and play Minecraft while having fun and building cool (*deepbreath*)... then by all means, we love having you.
  • If you've read all these rule the last thing you need to remember to survive on our Server is : ROYGBIV
Membership.jpg

  • Be Sure you have read this entire post.
  • When you join us, you will start out as a Guest.
  • If you have read this post, you should get through the Noob Challenge easily.
  • Once you are through the challenge. Look around, ask questions, be polite, and get to know us.
  • Then come here and fill out the application.
  • After your application is received, a Mod work out a time to interview you.
  • Your maturity is the biggest factor in having your application approved.
  • Those who do not log on for more than a week, without prior notice, may find their houses demolished to make room for regular players.

Ranks.jpg


Noob: May come in, walk around, see the world. May not interact with the world using THINGS or placing (or breaking) blocks.

Probationary Players: A step up from a Noob, these player have put in an application, passed an interview, and are being evaluated to see how they get along in our community. After a time they may become a Player, or they may be let-go and banned.

Players: Players are normal Minecraft/TFB users.

Vets: Vets start as players and have moved up in rank by staying in good standing and being valued parts of our community.

Mod: Mods are the highest rank a Player can achieve. You must have been a Vet and proven you are courteous and patient with others and have an interest in policing the server.

Admin: Admins maintain the world and keep it running. They also coordinate projects and help players in trouble.

Housing.jpg


When you are accepted as a probationary player you will be allowed to build a home.
  • Go to and register your standard in the Hall of Colors.
  • Probationary players are granted access to a 40x40 plot.
  • Your plot must have corner markers, and be within sight of the MageTower or another Player's plot.
  • If you do not have space to do the above, make sure you settle within sight of another player's standard.
  • It is your obligation to create a nice looking property; something you would proudly want others to see when noobs tour the server.
  • There is no law in the extra dimensions; venture forth at your own risk.
Conflict.jpg


It's pathetic that this section needs to exist. In some ways this idea was stated above but continues to be a problem: so we are spelling it out for all you noobs and Players to read. If you are caught gossiping about a problem you have with another Player, Moderator, or Admin, you will be banned. No questions asked; those who were gossiping with you may risk being banned as well.

Gossip, whining, and the "woe is me" attitude is not productive to having a good time. Players that collude to talk themselves into a frenzy without addressing the heart of the problem do not contribute to the well-being of our server. With these points said here is what you should do, in a simple step by step breakdown if you have a problem.

1: Solve it Yourself: Communicate with the Player you have a problem with. Engage in civil conversation to come to an agreement.

2: Talk to an Moderator: If you have a problem with another player you may come to a Moderator. You may do this ONLY after you have tried to work out the problem with the player in question. If you have a problem with another player, the first thing the Mod should ask you is, "have you spoken to X about this problem". If you say no (for whatever reason) you will be laughed at and drowned in lava for not following directions.

3: Talk to the Admin: If you have a problem with a Moderator (or a mod could not help you with the Player in question), then you can talk to the Admin. Send a whisper to the Admin and politely engage them IN game. If they cannot be reached you can send them a PM.

4: NO, REALLY, TALK TO THE ADMIN: If your problem is with the Admin, do not to a Moderator. Talk to the Admin directly. If you are civil and well spoken your opinion will go farther. If you are a y noob, then you will be mocked and banned.

Again if you are caught stewing or colluding with other players in unproductive and venomous rabble you probably will be KICKED at the very least: at worse, banned. We are not babies, for the most part we are adults, gossip and keeping our issues festering inside solves nothing. Deal with it.

  • Have you READ everything before this? Yes, all of it.
  • How long have you spent looking around The Kingdom? Around 10-15 minutes looking around seeing what I could.
  • Where are you from (Example - Iowa or United Kingdom)? Oklahoma.
  • How old are you? 15 (Please don't judge just by age. I know there are a lot of people my age that you would probably hate, but I'm pretty sure I'm won't be one of them.)
  • If you are not 18 or older, who is your Sponsor? No sponsor, But its really hard to find a friendly server that has active players, so I thought I might as well try to be on this one.
  • What gender do you wish to be know by? Male
  • What is your Minecraft Username? Ronagen
  • What other games do you play on a semi-regular basis? I play Garry's mod, League of Legends, The Binding of Isaac, and occasionally FTL.
  • What role do you enjoy taking the most in Minecraft (Eg: Farmer, Builder, Explorer, Digger)? I'm mostly a builder.
  • If you are added, how often do you intend to be on? For the first 2 weeks or so I will probably be on a 4-5 hours since I will be trying to get myself caught up with other people on the server, after that I will be on only 1-3 hours everyday or every other day.
  • What is your schedule like, what hours do you most often play? I'm homeschooled and don't have many activities that I go to so I will be on at times when I feel like playing.
  • Why do you think you will be a good fit for the Dogs of the State? I would be a friendly active member. I am good at building and I have a creative mind.
  • (Optional) What have you seen worked well on other servers that you might like us to implement too? N/A
  • (Optional) If you have any history of Military service, what branch were/are you a part of, what was/is your rank, and where were/are you stationed? N/A

Ronagen,

We normally don't make a habit of accepting those under 18, and I don't want to set a precedence...

However, it can't hurt you to come on, do the trial, and talk with us. If you are as mature and polite as you say that will show through in your actions. The fact that you are home-schooled is a huge plus in my book.

I'll be on in the next couple of hours; otherwise moderators Dan, MiC, Chennie or Baker can help you.

Be well,

-Incom

Incom!

Nice to see you transitioned from vanilla to FTB. I was bummed when my kingdom got reset. Is there a chance I can still be a part of this?

Hmm..I just downloaded the mod pack and it looks like the new pack is running newer addons than the server. Won't let me log in :(

I'll try an older version to see if that remedies the situation
