Get your build hammers out and pumpkins on! Its time for another RustEZ Community Halloween build contest - with a twist! This time, you’ll dress up your base (and yourself if you want) after any movie, person, or thing that you’d like. It can be spooky, or not so spooky, it’s completely up to you! BUILD REQUIREMENTS The build must be a stand-alone single detached themed build (no towns/villages to ensure an enjoyable event experience for all). HOW TO ENTER To enter, reply to this forum thread and include: Your server & region (i.e. AU Scourge) Your in-game name (i.e. Samakeen) The name of your build (i.e. Samakeen's Spoopy Shack) The Map Grid ID of your build (i.e. C13) Maximum of 2 screenshots of your build: One screenshot of the front, one interior/other screenshot of your choice Once you have posted your entry here, send me a private message via the website or Discord (Samakeen#5699) to request your build contest package if opting for a Halloween-y theme (a few helpful Halloween items). Post early so we can follow your progress! You may edit your post later to update the screenshots. Builds must be posted here by midnight (ET) Thursday, 27 October, 2022. Players must maintain the tool cupboard (TC) during the contest to ensure no decay prior to midnight (ET) on 31 October. BUILD TOUR EVENTS Build contest ends later this wipe to ensure players have time to decorate their builds after the official Halloween update. Unfortunately, this doesn't leave much time to plan our Build Tour event. Admins will do their best to host server events (Oct 28-30) so participants can offer tours of their build. In an attempt to cover all time zones, we will be running 3 rounds of tours. Note that all tours will cover all regions These will be hosted at: Round 1 - 28th 4pm EST / 28th 9pm BST / 29th 6am AEST Round 2 - 28th 9pm EST / 29th 2am BST / 29th 11am AEST Round 3 - 29th 5am EST / 29th 10am BST / 29th 7pm AEST BUILD CONTEST PRIZES Prizes will be awarded per region and admins will participate in their own category.

In my defence, drunk Sama cant read real good

I get so sad when the little candle is gone 😞

Thank you for coming back with honesty & appealing. Please consider that words such as what you used, are not welcome in any context. Do take some time to review the above resources that you can explore to learn more. That being said, you will get a second chance. Just one. The ban will be lifted, but it will remain on your record. There will be no additional chances as this post should encourage you to change how you speak in our servers and to abide by the rules. Take a few minutes before rejoining, and refresh yourself on the rules to avoid any chance of breaking them. If you are unclear on any of them, or aren't sure what is permitted, reach out to the staff and we'll be happy to clarify them for you. ● No raiding, griefing or looting of any kind. ● No mic or chat spam, player disrespect, politics, racism or harassment. ● No camping loot rooms, monuments or any highly concentrated areas. ● You may build in caves but you must ensure safe passage for other players. ● No blocking water ways, building around monuments or large areas of unused land. (Please read the splash page as well, as each server type has slight variations regarding specific features of those servers.) Welcome back. (Please bear in mind, this is a one-time ban reversal. No further rule infractions of this nature can happen. Thank you!) Samakeen.

Thank you for taking the time to appeal again. Previously, you have been advised by Leadership that any further appeals would be closed without further comment, however, I'm genuinely glad to hear you feel you have taken steps to improve how you interact with others so I am responding as a matter of courtesy. I would remind you of the nature of your initial bans, and the many chances you were already given to make changes at the time. This ban will remain in place as stated in the last rejection from Leadership. Best wishes with your future gaming endeavours, Samakeen. For reference, previous ban & rejection threads: Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 Link 5 Link 6

Thank you for appealing. With the current cancel culture in the world, racism in all aspects of society is being closely scrutinized. While we do understand that it still heavily permeates music, comedy, movies, and other media, it is something we do not feel is appropriate to have in our servers. Words such as what were used on your account, are not welcome in any context. This is plainly stated on the server's loading screen before you enter. Additionally, this is also stated on Facepunch's Terms of Service. https://support.facepunchstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007485418-Banned-for-Racism-Homophobia Here are resources that you can explore to learn more: guidetoallyship.com https://guidetoallyship.com/ Anti-Racism Glossary https://www.rwjbh.org/why-rwjbarnabas-health-/ending-racism/anti-racism-glossary/ Anti-Racism Resources https://www.rwjbh.org/why-rwjbarnabas-health-/ending-racism/anti-racism-resources/ The ban will not be lifted.

Hi WaterBerry, Thank you for taking the time to appeal your ban, as well as patiently waiting while this was reviewed. As you mentioned above, the language used, and the toxicity you displayed at the time of this ban was completely unacceptable. Given the actions you've taken since to recognise and rectify your actions, we would like to extend a second chance for you to play on the servers with your friends. That said, I would like to be clear that any further interactions similar to those that caused your ban, will result in an immediate reimplementation of the ban. Thank you again for taking the time to appeal, and your very honest words. We look forward to seeing you on the server. Welcome back 🙂 Samakeen.

(also I really want pet pigs in game)

Is it too much to ask to just ride around on a bear? I mean cmon

Look, the food looks great, but, I'm in this for those views. Post moar view pics!!

Offender: Boo [AU] (Battlemetrics) (Steam) Server: AU Scourge Time: 10/08/2021 6:43 PM Length: Permanent Reason: Player harassment More Info: Player was continuously harassing another player. Console warn was sent to advise them of rules. Player immediately acknowledged warning then carried on shooting the other player in the face, so was kicked. After the kick the player returned and immediately started looking for the other player again. Appeared to player & requested they stop harassing others & leave them be, proceeded to continuously harass me instead, even when warned it would result in a ban. Banned as player clearly has no interest in playing & solely focused on disrupting the gameplay of others

Oh my gosh, I hope they have cake when I next go!

What the heck is bait value, anyway? Short answer: To catch higher tier fish, you need higher tier bait! For the sake of keeping things simple, I'm only including items from the new update in this. You can use other foods, look for the bait value in the item information: In the below table are the new fish & baits, along with: Bait Value - how much they are worth if placed as a bait in the fishing rod Bait Required - what bait value do I need to catch this sucker? The strats! How do I make the most out of my fishing? Here's the tips I have for you so far: If you have worms & grubs, chuck them on there to build up your Tier 1 fish. If you're lucky, the grub might even catch you a small trout! Don't use your tier 1 fish as bait! You are better off gutting it and using the raw fish as bait instead, raising your bait value from 3 to 5 Your tier 2 fish are a gamble. Do I gut them and take the 4 raw fish or do I use it as bait to try to get the tier 1? Take care here, you may just get an anchovy as a swap! That's everything so far! No doubt as the mechanics grow/change, I will be coming to update this with more of my mistakes so you don't need to make your own! If I have missed something, please feel free to add it in. Happy fishing fellow anglers! - Samakeen

So, what can I catch? There are now 3 tiers of fish you can catch. Tier 1: Anchovy Herring Sardine You can catch these 3 little guys in any sort of water Tier 2: Yellow perch (Rivers & swamps) Small trout (Ocean & underwater labs in the moon pools) Tier 3: Catfish (Rivers & swamps) Orange Roughy (underwater labs) Small shark (Ocean over 4.5m in depth & underwater labs) Salmon (any body of water over 4.5m in depth) What makes them tier 3? When you gut them you get loot! Other then the usual fishy innards, you have a chance to find: Scrap Blue Keycard Cloth Pistol Bullets Flare The wooden spoon: Sometimes when using a bait value of 0.5-2.5 you'll get the wooden spoon of catching junk. Junk doesn't fight once its hooked, so if its a straight reel in you can expect to see one of these: Diving Fins Tarp Small Water Bottle Water Jug Human Skull Water Bucket

Whyyyyyy is this not working for me?? The new fishing has more to it than our modded servers previous used, so there's a couple of common mistakes I've found so far while learning. I cant cast: Check you have bait in the rod still Check you are close enough to the water If you're already in the water, you may need to back up a little My line is disappearing, but I don't hear it snap: If you turn away from your line, it will disappear! Keep it in front of you as best you can. Alt look works just fine if you do need to turn If your line crosses too close to pretty much anything that isn't water it will disappear - this could be foundations, barrels in the moon pools, your box of bait, etc. Stand as close as possible to the water If you want to fish from a chair, I've found this set up works well provided you place the chair basically in the water

So, you want to become a fishing legend but you aren't sure how to start? This guide will go through fishing in detail, from the basics to more ... in-depth! The Basics: First, you're going to need a fishing rod and some bait. Ill go into more detail about bait later on - for now while you learn, any bait will do! Drag that bait into available slot in fishing rod. Baits of the same kind will stack in there: Be sure to be standing as close to the water as you can (or even in it!) Holding right click will draw back your cast, you can now see the outline where you will cast to. Pretty simple, red wont cast & blue will. Left click to cast Once you get a bite, its time to reel that catch in! S or LMB - reels in A - pull left D - pull right If your fish is swimming right, pull the fish left using A, and if its swimming left, pull right with D like the below pic. You want to reel in when you can, but take care - your line can snap! If the rod starts to shake / creak - let go & give your catch a second to tire itself out. And that's it! Congratulations, you've caught your first fish! I'm sure you're already hooked, so stay tuned for follow up posts where I will outline: Common mistakes What can I catch Where to find each fish type What bait values are and how to maximise your catches - Samakeen

Hi Keebob & thank you for appealing. I have reviewed the circumstances surrounding this, and found that the bag in question was not previously renamed anything even close to what you are suggesting (nor was it even your bag). With the current cancel culture in the world, racism in all aspects of society is being closely scrutinized. While we do understand that it still heavily permeates music, comedy, movies, and other media, it is something we do not feel is appropriate to have in our servers. Words such as what were used on your account, are not welcome in any context. This is clearly displayed when you enter any of our servers. Use of such a word in any circumstance is never funny, and will never be funny. It is not a joke. Here are resources that you can explore to learn more: guidetoallyship.com The Bias Barrier Anti-Racism Glossary Anti-Racism Resources The ban will not be lifted. We wish you the best of luck in finding a server better suited to your play style. Thanks, Samakeen
