Thank you all for your questions, I’ve collated them up and the management team is currently answering them for you. Once they are done, I’ll post the response here.

btw I didn’t add this question, I dislike history.

#fuckthesystem I’M DOING IT MY WAY

Shoes.

Don’t be a silly bean, foxes can’t talk.

I love dead memes

Yes.

Not too difficult most of the time, but I don’t have to deal with any of the back-end, which is usually what breaks :upside_down_face:
Difficult decisions are usually staff apps, or choosing punishments for players when opinion is split on how severe the rule-breaking was.

Why would I need a 2nd choice?

It’s all these toxic players that keep joining.

That isn’t a question :angry:

That isn’t a question either :angry:

Jape. We are getting married, after all.

On days I do get on, anywhere between 2 and 10 hours, up to 80% of which i can spend doing nothing.

I can;t pick 1 so here’s a top 3 in no particular order:
A decent amount of space
Basic services (electric, gas, water, and sewage)
A high-speed internet connection

I went to a place and they didn’t serve beer. Heartbroken.

Clive. Idk, seems like a raccoon-y kind of name…

Luke Cage’s bulletproof skin. I’ve hardly been near a real gun, so it’s kinda useless, plus you can’t be operated on, so if anything goes wrong inside you, you’re fucked.

A rat, named Remy. Because Ratatouille.

BLUE. BLUE THINGS ALWAYS TASTE GOOD.

Tell your sister she underestimates me/us.

When I 1st started playing, I didn’t care who knew, cos it was an adult game back then. Then around 2012 it blew up as a kiddie game and I started to hide that I played, and now I don’t care about what others think. Besides, it’s not even what I play most any more, so it’s not even my 1st response.

The Pianist. Top 3 were The Dark Knight, Gladiator, and Schindler’s List.

I don’t know what Chips Ahoy are, so Oreos.

1

For which side? It weakened the Ottomans, and strengthened Russia. Good for Russia, bad for Ottomans.

I started on the classic server and can’t tell you exactly the moment I joined the main server but I joined the forums on Nov 10 2010. I have been on the main server quite a while though.

MrFerf -
I started playing PCB back in August of 2011 on the Classic server. I started playing on the CMP/SMP servers in June of 2012.

TheOctopus -
17th August 2013

I look up to most the people in the management team, I’m super lucky to work with such a broad range of people. Do I have favourites? Right now, I’m in love with the work Andy and Octo do for us behind the scene. I would do to have even the slightest bit of their skills.

MrFerf -
Everyone on the team is a good role model. At the moment, I’m the youngest on the management team so it’s hard to look down on anyone. I’ve always enjoyed all the Aussies and they’ve definitely been the most helpful most of the time I’ve been on the server. Octo’s a cool dude, too.

TheOctopus -
Emfitty, because she can organise great community events like this Q&A, but still reminds us she is human by spelling this question wrong.
In the form for this, I typed like instead of look. Sue me. I don’t care.

Wairoa -
Handy Andy, my dandy frandy :slight_smile:

PrinceMark
Poois (Wairoa :hearts:)

Mannriah -
Andy

Emfitty-
None, duh. I hate skittles.

MrFerf -
Regular Skittles. Purple > Red > Green > Yellow > Orange.

TheOctopus -
A pack consisting of a number of small, round flavoured pellets.

Wairoa -
We only have two different skittles flavours, the original and the sour. I’d say the original because they are tried and true and I had them through my childhood. I would have picked sour if skittles the company didnt skrimp so much on sourness because if I WANT SOUR lollies then they gotta be sour yo, but skittles is like yeah nahhh we’ll make it sour for like 2 seconds then its back to the sweet original ones but by that time its not crunchy like the original flavours so its just a big disappointment all round. Original skittles.

PrinceMark -
The Gay Kind - GIMME DEM SKITTLES-POX

Mannriah -
Original.

This question was rather contentious click below for the brief argument we had in the management lounge

Summary

Emfitty-
It has to be Andy. I mean he created the server so he was probs old when this whole thing started. Maybe Crass with his dirty old man mind. I can’t choose.

MrFerf -
Callum.

TheOctopus -
Andy, he’s at least 10x as old as me

Wairoa -
An ex staff we used to have was in their 60s.

PrinceMark -
That Joe Kid - He’s so close to RIP

Mannriah -
Ouhai Obvs

Emfitty -
It’s hard to describe the role of the server in my life because its been there for me for so long. Had a bad day? Nothing like terrible banter and rythmic block placing to fix it. Had a good day? Let’s share my happiness with everyone. I’ve pretty much grown up with this server. It seem so many different sides of me and helped me through the good and bad times that I don’t know who I would be without this.

MrFerf -
I was nine when I started playing on PCB, so it’s been around about 40% of my life and most of my life that I can remember. There was a lot going on in my life when I joined PCB so it’s always been a good ā€œescape,ā€ if you will. I love the server, the community, and everything else about PCB and it’s hard to think of life without it. It’s one of the few things I’ve really been able to commit to long-term. I’ve made great friends and great memories here.

TheOctopus -
Currently it’s not that important because I’m super busy with other important things, but SOONā„¢ I WILL RETURN.

Wairoa -
A lot, it’s important.

PrinceMark -
Someone asked me the other day what’s the last server I’ve been to and honestly I don’t even remember because this is the only one I go on.

Mannriah -
PCB is really important to me, I like to give us much as I can to the community with what free time I have. It’s been a safe haven real life stress, as well as a way for me to support others in need.

Emfitty -
I would be curled up in my hammock, Swaying in the sun while I type. I spend a lot of my spare time writing - not that you could tell given the amount of spelling mistakes I makes on the daily.

MrFerf -
Ideally, I’d be spending more time on ā€œproductiveā€ hobbies like music and design. Maybe I’d read something besides news and NoSleeps, too.
Realistically, I’d be watching more Netflix. Maybe I would’ve found some other game to play.

TheOctopus -
Playing one of the many other games I bought but haven’t played on Steam

Wairoa -
It usually cuts into sleeping time, so sleeping.

PrinceMark -
Probably living my best life. Poor decisions offline mostly

Mannriah -
Probably playing other games, certainly nothing productive

Emfitty -
Other: God know’s when I last appeared and God knows when I will appear again.

MrFerf -
Other: Yes

TheOctopus -
Maybe.

Wairoa -
Other: Try another pickup, and maybe you get with this.

PrinceMark -
Other: One Week on, One Week off.

Mannriah -
Yes

Emfitty -
For someone like me with no computer skills, my role is quite easy and the load is shared quite well between the team. Sometimes I question whether I am here for banter and communicating. I’ve never found a hard choice, most the time its just choosing the most logical outcome for the server not the outcome you want.

MrFerf -
This server is actually super chill. We do have discussions and make decisions often but compared to other things I’ve done it’s much less intensive. I was a Trainee on Mineplex and got demoted after my two-month trial because it was waaay too much to keep up with compared to what I was used to with PCB. I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of a really tough decision.

TheOctopus -
It can be quite hard to keep up because our infrastructure is fairly complex now, what with the forums, website, server, and all the custom plugins we have to use them all together.

Wairoa -
All of our choice are group votes so really only ban appeals are ā€œtoughā€

PrinceMark -
Yes I ban and kick people sometimes

Mannriah -
Day to day running is not all that difficult, although sometimes when we try or new plugins, they can be hard to work with. The most difficult part for me is searching high and low for compatible plugins when we update minecraft versions.

MrFerf -
They are my CROCS.

TheOctopus -
I don’t know. This is the internet. I can’t see what you’re looking at.

Wairoa -
Fingers for toes in birkensocks.

PrinceMark -
What are what? :crazy_face:

Mannriah -
Is this a black panther reference, if so, they are the royal sandals.

TheOctopus -
Yes, it’s Fortnite memes.

Wairoa -
I do not, no.

PrinceMark -
Wai-roa? Yes, unfortunately

Mannriah -
I no da wae

I improved your question. Sorry, Not sorry.

Emfitty -
I would pick Mark, he’s an absolutely gorgeous person, but he would never love me back :broken_heart:

MrFerf -
Bibler :hearts:

TheOctopus -
Borbor. For both. Explanation is not required.

Wairoa -
I’m already married to Peqinas. We will live forever in time and space.

PrinceMark -
CAMERON - We’re basically married/twins/something weird that most people don’t have from spending too much time on PCB.

Mannriah -
Wairoa, probably because he is the only one who would put up with my BS.

Emfitty-
I don’t always get on every day, depends on how university is. I’ve almost finished my degree and the last year is kinda hectic. At the moment I’m on almost every day for a few hours.

MrFerf -
My activity is all over the place during the school year, but over breaks and summer I probably average a couple or three hours on the server a day. I’d say 60-70% of that is me being engaged and actually doing things.

TheOctopus -
Currently about 0, but I do spend a fair amount of time on management. Most of the time when I do come on it’s spent sorting things out.

Wairoa -
I tend to play a lot, but like a million percent of it is me afk

Mannriah -
Probably spend an average of an hour a day online, 45 minutes is probably floating aimlessly waiting for something to happen.

Emfitty-
I had to google rodents to find a cute one. I mean I ain’t gonna pick something mainstream like a beaver. I would choose a Hutia. Photo below for the confused.

Summary

Hutia

MrFerf -
I’d take a beaver. Its name would be Buster or Gus.

TheOctopus -
A capybara, google it.

MrFerf -

Summary

Wairoa -
Yellow.

PrinceMark -
All of them.

Mannriah -
I’m generally into anything blue-green, generally tastes like apple or blueberry.

Go Away.

Why do you Corrupt everything?

Emfitty -
I don’t hide what I play, I also don’t run down the my college corridors yelling I play minecraft. Then again, my college has a minecraft server.

MrFerf -
Depends. I wouldn’t bring it up on its own unless the people I’m talking to know I play or wouldn’t care. If anyone were to ask or prompt about it for any reason, I wouldn’t mind saying. I usually try and defend the ā€œlittle kidā€ connotation attached to Minecraft.

TheOctopus -
I never go on the PCB website in public due to fear of being recognised.

Wairoa -
It’s like coming out, eventually people find out.

PrinceMark -
That’s like asking if I care about people knowing that I shower. It’s just something you do.

Mannriah -
I don’t really care if anyone knows, if a grown man wants to play with blocks, so be it.

Emfitty -
Having major second thoughts on answering this question. You might think I have emotions. Hard question though. Raise your Voice. It’s too sad to be ranked higher on my list.

MrFerf -
I can’t pinpoint a fourth.

TheOctopus -
Academy AwardĀ® Nominated Film, Boss Baby.

Wairoa -
Probably the matrix, or the chamber of secrets

PrinceMark -

Mannriah -

Extra butter.

MrFerf -
There’s a locally-owned arthousey theatre where I’m from and they’ve got all sorts of fun popcorn toppings. I put butter powder, kettle corn, garlic salt, and nutritional yeast on mine. Sometimes pepper flakes if I want a little kick. That and a Cheerwine is pure bliss.

TheOctopus -
Sweet, because I’m not a degenerate.

Wairoa -
Fresh

PrinceMark -
Popcorn Chicken.

Mannriah -
Caramel, it’s the best obvs

Emfitty -
Pineapple goes on pizza. Don’t lie to yourselves.

MrFerf -
No pineapple. Not gonna pitch a fit with anyone that likes pineapple, but I hate the taste of pineapple + dairy.

TheOctopus -
Pineapple, and only pineapple. No base either. Just a pineapple.

Wairoa -
If you put pineapple on pizza, you need to seek professional help because your brain is not wired correctly.

PrinceMark -
PINEAPPLE

Manniriah -
Pineapple for sure

Emfitty -
College create a lot of really funny moments. For the unaware, I live in a residential college with 230 other people with a bunch of weird College traditions. There is this song called ice cream by muscles and whenever it’s played you have to take your shirt off (if you listen to it you’ll understand why). On to the story now. Every year the college’s compete in Rowing afterwards we go on a party bus and got to a bunch of venues and just end up really drunk. If you’ve ever been on a party bus you’ll know you get to pick your own music, blast it out loud and dance to it in a moving bus. Doesn’t always end well to be honest. You also get covered in goon when you miss your mouth with the goon bag. Anyway, between venues we make a stop at the beach and just before we get there we play icecream. We get to the beach and they won’t let us off the bus until everyone has the shirts back on. When they finally let us off the bus I go to run at the beach get like five steps and face plant the ground. Luckily it was grass.

MrFerf -
Funny and angering. I got blocked by Drake Bell (of Drake and Josh) on Instagram.

I entered a giveaway hosted by TRL for a signed Drake Bell vinyl, mostly for the meme. Drake Bell is ā€œreveredā€ among my friends. I wrote a long-ass comment about how I’d been deprived of a free Drake Bell concert (another story) and how important he was to me as an artist and a role model. A bunch of bullshit, but I know how to write and make it convincing. I asked on my Insta story for everyone to go like the comment and got a few people from PCB (shoutout to Joe, Fili, and John the Admin). It was late, so I went to bed, and when I woke up the next morning, I had a DM from Drake Bell himself congratulating me on my win. I asked if he was for real, he confirmed and asked for my address to mail the vinyl. Sent it to him and that was that. A couple weeks past and I got nothing. Didn’t think too much of it until about a month had passed and still no vinyl. I DMed a random guy that worked for Drake who’d also DMed my following the giveaway and asked him what was up. He said he’d talk to Drake. Great. Two more months passed and I got nothing and grew too tired to try and ask again. Five months since the giveaway, my friends are talking about Drake Bell once again because he’d made some stupid joke about Lil Tay in it or something. I tried to go see for myself and was quite confused when nothing was coming up. Asked my friends what the hell was going on and deduced that Drake Bell had blocked me. Out of the thousand-or-so people he follows, he took the time to block me, a random ass teenager from who-cares-where, instead of just unfollow or ignore me. Even after I’d made the effort to write something so wonderful about him and win the giveaway (out of a few thousand entrants, mind you). Now, I have no way of contacting Drake Bell and little hope for getting my signed vinyl (which I won fair and square).

tl;dr – Drake Bell is a scumbag.

One time when I was in college I was sleeping over my friend’s dorm and the RA’s were gone. The whole floor had a party it was pretty fun. One of my friends had their boyfriend over or something and they got VERY drunk (beyond everyone else). She left him in the room to go to the bathroom and when she came back there was POOP all over the room! Evidently her boyfriend was so drunk that he couldn’t walk to the bathroom SOOOOOO he SHAT in the microwave and it exploded! funny shit amirite!? :wink:

I can’t remember, I was probably drunk when funny things happened to me.

Wairoa -
We call it soft drink. → LA Ice

PrinceMark -

Mannriah -
We call it fizzy/soft drink, and probably Lemon squash or creaming soda.
