Nice one mate, I was struggling with that last night, spiders were getting caught on everthing hehe.

Thanks to everyone that's helped out with this, I was at a total loss of what to do with it, it's great to be part of a nice community that's helping me get sorted when I'm so totally clueless hehe.

EDIT: Btw, since so many people helped out, I don't mind anyone that wants using it. Just /home MeepBeepWhirr and it'll drop you right next to the track. :)

Great stuff! I've been playing with it and changed it a little bit.

The glass had to go I'm afraid, it looked cool but a couple of times it got smashed by mistake so I put in obsidium.

I've put in a chest for eyes and string and a disposal (lava) hole for if the chest fills and people wanna get rid of stuff.

I've also made an enchanting table with 30 bookcases around it for max level enchants, that's also right next to where you'll land if you /home me, so people can use that too, I've seen people asking who has an enchanting table a couple of times. My first enchant after using the grinder and table was fortune and unbreaking III and efficiency IV on a pick, so I'm happy xD.

For anyone interested in more yogscast drama:

https://yogscast.com/showthread.php?55245-A-Response-to-Peva-and-Tinman
http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/raxco/peva_from_the_yogiverse_releasing_all_details_on/

If true, pretty impressive that he managed to steal $18,000 from them before they noticed!

I love how everyone on reddit went up the wall at initial post, then only after yogscast response everyone calms down with the few voices of reason.

It's like last time, lots of people flew off the handle at both sides and then nearly everyone comes to a similar conclusion! Never knew about this before - thanks for linking tostring.
 
An awful lot of money. In the screenies they were getting about £30 a day just from the adverts on their forum, and youtube must be bringing in £1,000's a month.. loaded to say the least!
 
Yogscast are very immature about that kinda thing. I love their videos but they need to learn to keep their drama to themselves. They're not the kind of company that profits from it, they have a reputation for being innocent fun, this kind of thing damages that rep more than helps it IMO.

How are they immature? Both cases people accuse them of something, people get angry at them, they explain what actually happened, people calm down and see both sides of the story.
Is it immature for defending themselves from people trying to give them a bad reputation?
 
... and at the end of the day, they are just two young'ish guys that make comical videos about games on the internet. Its not as though they are qualified business people.

The defence isn't immature, it's the counterattacks.

Counterattacks on the internet just lead to escalation, especially when you're talking about people who have relative fame and a lot of followers, there's thousands of people that get caught up in these incidents on some level (including us discussing it here).

Having a water-tight defence without attacking the other party is the best way to deal with these situations. If you don't have a defence then you have to deal with the consequences of being in the wrong, you shouldn't misdirect the blame.

If Tinman did steal $18,000, then it's a matter for the police, it's clearly fraud if he's worked the books in a way that nets him money that he shouldn't have, and for that amount of money it's definitely something the police should be involved in. What good is posting it all over the internet going to do?

It sounds like Pevas issues are more with the way Ridgedog fired him, the way Simon's handled Peva has lead to it escalating into public mud flinging. If Peva has said the things that Simon's accused him of, then again, they need to work it out between them.

The thing is that having it out publically only leads to people (like us) that don't know the ins and outs making assumptions and speculation (like I have in this post). Handling it in a mature way would mean talking to Peva and Tinman and getting the police involved in needed, all behind closed doors.

And you know nothing about what's happening - They DID get the police involved behind closed doors, then Peva and Tinman started accusing yogscast and ridgedog, they responded with evidence of what's happened - they didn't try and sling mud like peva is. Ridgedog may of but the yogscast certainly haven't. They just defended themselves and gave their side, then left it there. They responded to questions.

Please, actually read carefully what they have both posted - then you wouldn't be misinformed like this.

I read what Lewis posted and the Reddit post, neither mentioned police involvement.

I did actually say that my last post was assumptions and speculation, I know I'm probably wrong in my facts, I've only read those two posts, that's why I initially didn't post my opinion, but you asked why I thought it was immature so I posted why I thought that. :) I'm quite happy for my opinions to be dismissed (and expect it), but they're my opinions and why I think them.

I believe they're in their 30's, not sure how old you are, but I wouldn't say that's young! And as 2 self employed people, they certainly earn more money that I imagine I ever will too :(

It mentioned it in one of the posts they made - don't feel like going on the mess that is that thread though atm.


And yeah, youngish.. Simon's 30 something and lewis is very late 20s, hardly young :D.
