[Multi] |OT| Minecraft Thread VII: The One Where You Talk Some More

2.1gb. Funny, I thought it was 1.6 yesterday...

New is 1.4gb, and Old is 1.2gb. All their satellite worlds are negligible.

Considering how it seems that Tanith will be staying - at least for the time-being - I've decided to set out and find a good place to build in that world.

The first place I found on the map looked mostly empty, but when I went there in the game it seemed that idmb had claimed it. Or at least a decent chunk of it.

The second place I found, however, has a building with no identification of any sort on it.



Near the to of the map.

The building is about half the size of the building near Spawn, and is made of wooden planks and square (2x2) glass windows. Inside is a chest with some basics, as well as an iron chestplate, two stacks of clay, and a few glass blocks & panes. There is a furnace & workbench outside, as well as a workbench inside. (Plus a bed I put inside)

Mike, the biggest problem with your proposal is that you proposed this last time and nobody but Scott agreed with it, after a short discussion.

The reason being is that it best supports the way you play, logging in once a month in a survival world, going on an adventure, and quitting until the next big craze surfaces. To my knowledge, you and about two other people do this, and the rest of us don't.

I don't have a problem with the way you play, in fact Snow and Nyx did this in Tanith about a month ago, and it sounds really fun to me; they dropped all their inventory and bush wacked through the majority of the map, and they did it in stints and it took about a week to do all that traveling.

The point is it's perfectly doable in Tanith, and I agree with DD on this, I'd rather come across the random builds of other people than the new fortresses, and the point is there will be those too in Tanith, with the way the map is growing.

If the survival map gets deleted every few months, I have no interest in playing in it, I will not build anything bigger than a dirt hut. Survival is the way I play, and my builds are meant for survival. They are designed to be mob proof and to greatly enhance my ability to survive, and thus they are useful, and not just pretty; they make use of all the features that minecraft has to offer, not just the ones that you encounter when you build a dirt hut. Buildings built in Old are beautiful but useless to me, so I have interest in my builds being kept on the server, but no interest in them being mashed into Old.

The point is that we deleted the Ark world because we wanted to make a 1.0 map and have it be more permanent, we made it because we wanted to create a map that we would keep. I'm still broken up about the ark world, and now we're talking about killing Tanith too. Honestly, I'm not sure Jeb will truly come up with anything that will make me want to scrub Tanith or start in a new world. Minecraft hasn't had a track record of becoming mind blowingly impressive except in bits in pieces, and I think you're giving the devs too much credit.

I realize the discussion is already pretty much over, but I wanted to weigh in that I'm not really interested in a new world, and I think Mike wasn't convinced yet with regards to his proposal.

edit: I'm also okay with New being deleted, but I would kind of like Port Phasmatys and the valley kept around. If nobody else is interested in Phas, I suppose I'll be okay with it going away.

I have another really good reason to want Tanith to stay around though:



I don't actually know what the future holds for Port right now. I'm processing a lot of requests right now, and it seems like a lot of people still want the town to grow. In any case, I wanted to see if a build like this was possible and if people liked the idea. It would make me very happy.

The buildings are just place holders, not meant to be huge cubes. In any case, I'll see you guys in about a week and a half

^dat city looks sexeh.

The other thing that would probably be like impossible to set up with all our side mods would be to have a new world that is hardcore, and then when everyone dies we just switch it to hard.

Ie, once you die in it, you can't play in it (you have to be in the other worlds) until everyone in it has died.

Can't see that happening though.

Just a suggestion: I think we should make a sort of Survival Games-like area in Old World, where we can host the occasional game, obviously at a smaller scale since there aren't usually that many players on at once. The losers can be set to Creative and give small boons.

If I can make a Sol Empire Embassy in one of those buildings, then I'm down with it Quick.

Also: District plans look awesome!

Mm, now I'm imagining hosting a Din VS Farore Clan War in Old. I can totally see that sexy mother♥♥♥♥er Gamzee writing a poem for the winner. oFTo

On another note, I just realised that Clan Wars can probably be set up to take place on this server. Hell zarkin' yeah.

We had a Clan Wars MC event, Asta destroyed everyone.

Also, it seems that my request to be whitelisted was ignored. Oh well. I should've known that it would be; it is mentioned in DA ROOLS not to apply, after all. I figured since I'm an active member of ZeldaUniverse I would get in :I

Maybe you should try reading the first post where it explains how to get yourself whitelisted...

I believe Bolero helped.

But yeah, that Lando statue was a beauty. It's too bad it wasn't actually on the server.

Asta makes the coolest minecraft statues.

So yeah. Does anybody claim the hut I found (as marked on a map earlier)?

It looks like Snow's Group might get another new HQ soon.

Final calls for claiming the unmarked building on a distant island I marked earlier. I'll be coming back online maybe a day from now, and if nobody's claimed it by then I'm going to consider the thing free pickings for materials. Or maybe I'll quarantine it. Or cover it. So many possibilities.



Tangentially-relatedly, does anybody here consider themselves good at town-planning, in the layout sense? Considering the size of the island, districts of some sort are almost inevitable, but that's of little issue at this early stage. I'm wanting to create a mostly-freeform town on this island, but I'm no good at this sort of thing, and any help would be appreciated.

you should switch the Din and Nayru locations..

also in my single player file I made for 1.3.1 I have found a total of 6 Emeralds 2 were in a jungle temple i stumbled upon, the others found (each by themselves) in different caves

I got this game. It's addicting.

Also, I spawned right next to a creeper. It blew up, taking a bunch of health away.

Also also, found an underground ravine and an abandoned mineshaft in my very first cave.

Also also also, got to tame a wolf about 10 minutes into the game.

Aaaaaand there's so much moar to discover and build

Picture doesn't work.

@Sabbo: I've organized the Hol of Sol (and Two Rivers) mostly by myself, but I've been told my street planning sucks ass. I'd be willing to help you organize the island if you want.

Won't be able to get on until the server updates, though.

I appreciate it. If no-one else wants to help, I'll send you over some relevant images next time I have time to work on that stuff (which will likely be either Wednesday or Friday, my time.)
