Anyway, here's the file... http://www.4shared.com/file/sgF4Iiia/R2_Session_4.html mrcrazy_monkey, you're up next

Do you think you could use Megaupload for hosting the save next time, or any other hosting service besides 4shared? It's just that a 330 second wait time to download the file if you don't have premium is ridiculous.

It looks like Ant wants to eventually connect all these things and make a loop - in the Nether too, it seems.

My original plan was to have nether gates cover any distances that were too long to walk on foot. But now that we have powered rails that plan is a bit obsolete. I haven't gotten a chance to see what you've done yet but I imagine we could probably start exclusively using powered rails instead of nether gates.

Well, the pyramid is close to the branch mine, and the temple is near that, and due north from the tower. There's a fishing dock and skelly farm in the other direction, if you take a right turn instead of going thru the first Nether gate. It looks like Ant wants to eventually connect all these things and make a loop - in the Nether too, it seems.

My next turn will probably be a humble one... I think I'll settle down and build a nice-looking house in our little settlement, and perhaps mine to make up what I depleted this turn.

PS: "Elfen Lied" is a fantastic seed. I just started a new map using it. Go to x=25, z=18 for the magic - a wide valley with tall overhang mountains, waterfalls and lavafalls. Beautiful.

I just downloaded the map, and I love the whole minecart track you made. Also when did the portals change??

If you mean when was the nether portal tunnel moved down, I did that during my turn so that we could extend the current tunnel and build new ones without fear of running into the nether base. If we tried to extend the current tunnel before I moved it we'd have to destroy some of the base.

Ahh ok. Thank you for going through all that trouble. I still like your Nether gate idea though. It will give me more to build the base around in the future and is still faster than carts.

It's time for a new one, this one is overflowing.
