Happy birthday guys!

Happy birthday cobol! Sorry i missed the first one, but glad im here for the second

While i wouldnt suggest going cheap on something you could be betting you life on, the best i could suggest is either a glock, or surf around gun shows or local shops.

Map not epic enough. Need more exploring.

What i mean was that you got the wrong idea when you called me lazy and suggested to ban me from kals server. Im not saying we spawn 50 stacks of stone, that would be lazy. The idea isnt to cheat with stacks of the materials directly, but to help along the collection of the materials and getting tools for the new guys who would otherwise be stuck on stone or iron tools. Or if you perfer, a compromise. Keep the tool chest that kal made, and have only him spawn tools to fill it with, while keeping the rule of no spawning.

Thanks for taking the time to calmly respond kal, sorry if i sounded snappy, i didnt mean to sound that way. Still i find medics "OMFGBANHAMMARD EVERYTHING!!!!1!" response to be concerning at the least.

Yes, i was in the middle of mining and the pick suddenly broke. I didnt quite feel like trekking all the way back up to the surface to find a new pick, or the diamonds to make a new one, so i spawned one. Its not like it hasnt happened before. I was simply saying that the point is to have fun, which spending 1/2 of my time underground searching for diamonds is not, nor is excavating at a snails pace, nor is having to contend with everyone hoarding like we are playing singleplayer.

I say we lift the no spawning rule.. would make building alot easier. Either that or lift it only for tools, because there are lots more players playing now and not alot of diamonds to go around. We dont need to be squabbling about what belongs to who because we are out of diamonds, we are here to have fun.

Yup. You can tell because of the line of yellow dots leading back to our base as i spent 40 minutes trekking back.

I would love to see a game with an actually "intelligent" AI. Hard AI's in most games entail building faster than you and doing several tasks a second, micro-managing their production, army movements, and economy all at once. To me, a "hard" AI shouldnt HAVE to build faster, or have 500 APM to be hard. A hard AI should think like a human commander, finding and blocking choke points, claiming strategically important tracts of land, or using terrain to its advantage. Fight smarter, not harder.

No, monsters are active. Good thing is you spawn in the fortress, which is safe.

I read somewhere that the higher your IQ is, the more chance for mental instability, among other things in that department. Excellent fine point detail, but loss of the "bigger picture" so to speak. Explains many of the historic prophets that have come about through the centuries. I have to admit.. Russel wasnt stupid. He knew that, barring extreme enviromental changes, the only thing that could make humans change from their still somewhat primal instincts is an oppressive govt. But as medic said, right idea - wrong strategy.

Yup, ive made a model of the explosive floor on the 3rd floor of the storage bay, if anyone is interested give me a shout and ill show how it works. There is a snow trap but it requires it to be snowing to work. Its a simple mine sunk 1 square into the ground, and the snowfall covers it in snow because the pressure plate counts as its own square. Person falls through the snow, sets off mine, and is trapped with no way out. Also, ive put a water ladder on the tunnel to the mine. Basically, its a glitch where you climb the water like a ladder, and you go 3x faster than an actual ladder.

Here's the differnt types of mines i know how to make thus far. I have the video for making an explosive floor underneath a building, but windows movie maker is being a pain. SIMPLE MINE: FALLING SAND MINE TRAP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge5UlhEmjbw EXPLOSIVE FLOOR TRAP: Because movie maker isnt working i cant upload a video, but if it does work ill embed the vid here. Basically you wire a pressure switch to tnt, by hollowing out the bottom corners of a wall and running redstone to tnt. Ill make a model on the sparta server sometime soon.

Rule 34.

Simple way of doing it, put a pressure plate on top of a tnt block. There are more complex ways of doing it, ill make a video when i get the chance. The thing is that most TNT traps are resource intensive, and really only good against players because mobs are stupid enough to kill with our fire pits. Eventually if we get bored we could always start hosting PVP style games.

Nice list, trying Misa's right now

I like the idea of a village, but for now i think it would be better to use the storage silo and the village as a secondary storage. The generator is working slowly but surely producing feathers, and the mobs dont seem to be too much of a challenge. Watch out for the creepers though, they will explode and damage structures... Im working on an idea for protecting our walls from "accidents" (obsidian base, waterwall, glass covering, floating island) EDIT: add a sorting station to the town? For when people need to quickly dump off stuff to be sorted later, with a smelting array for ores.

New idea: Ive seen on youtube some guys have storehouses where they devote an entire large box to storing a particular item, and put the box on top of whatever item is inside of it - so they only need to find what block they need and they can open the box on top to find it. Also, an armory would be cool

Not hellworld, hell is a biome setting that imitates the nether. ill look into it tonight and see what i can dig up. EDIT: i swear the search button doesnt like me on the mc forums. Anyway, it seems that portals dont work in multiplayer, and its impossible to get to the nether as of now. Supposedly notch is working on it.

I usually build a house underground as well, so no matter if im lost or not i still have someplace to craft and smelt in safety. Another idea is just using a minecart with boosters.

Mob farm! If you guys find any mob spawners, instead of destroying them put torches on the squares directly surrounding them. This will stop the spawning of mobs and allow me to build a trap that will auto harvest the drops of the mobs. Also, can we look into activating the nether? Its the perfect place to get lava buckets for obsidian and the lightstone is useful too.

Posting a .rar with my castle (world 1, but you can rename it or move yours to make it work) See if you can find both the secret rooms without breaking any blocks Ragscastle.rar

My basic concept: American tech is like a scalpel: razor sharp and extremely accurate, but requiring lots of loving care to keep running smoothly. Russian tech is like an axe: blunt, bulky, and thrown together, but will outlast the person using it even in the worst conditions and has the power to get things done.

Am i crazy for thinking china had in on this too? I forget who said it, but someone said "The next world war will be fought not with bullets and bombs, but computers and keystrokes."
