From Notch's twitter:

"Bats that look like small cliff racers, but are more annoying?"

OH [censored] NO

*goes to cry in the corner*

Woohoo! Cave dwellers!

As long as they don't make the same sound I don't really mind.

And nobody else is on the server...I feel all alone.
And somebody burnt down a building, the wooden one behind the Spleef arena. D:

That was Nukls house, again. This time it was no accident, it was intentional. There are trees on fire as well near the beach at the docks. We need to find a way to remove lighters from the game.

I was left a cute sign by the thieves guild, but I ended up getting a extra work bench!

This looks like a job for......the Thieves Guild!

We haven't made much gold lately...

I have some, it was not touched?

I guess.

If you guys want it go get it, I have no need for it.

Is there anyway to tell who logged in and at what time and such? That could help.

Yes there is. I have just found a mod that will allow us to ban items completely. I sent it to Wamp. If it works, no more lighters.

Uh... doesn't that seem a little stupid? Aren't we going to need lighters for torches soon?

Well, I decided to man up and play on normal again. I was back on peaceful within 10 minutes. Spiders dropping on my head is too [censored] much. TOO [censored] MUCH.
In other news, I'm almost done with the wall of paintings I'm making. I just need 5 more 1x1s and 3 2x2s and every painting in the game will be on the wall.
And that is all from Spork's little corner of Minecraft.

Okay this is way too many to be some idiot. Near the same spot I found the first few trees on fire I find these, and a little further away even more fire. Did I miss a memo and fire no longer screws the game up or something?

Regardless site 1 I got rid of before documenting too well, but it was near my Argonath statue. Site 2 was near where I found the FIRST one a few days ago on a beach. It is hard to make out in pic three of that site. Worse there is clearly a stone path that has been placed.

On a similar note statue 1 of the Argonath is 95% done. Maybe more depending on how much or how little I feel like fixing it up.

Edit
Better lighting. You can see off in the distance a sand pillar I created as a beacon for undone and others to find me the first day I was on. http://img830.imageshack.us/i/site2pic4.jpg/
Just me and Cliffworms on right now, but earlier someone else was in. I don't remember their name though Cliff might.

Edit2
I got rid of both sites.

Edit3
Nearby site 2 is some sort of drydock to keep boats in. Currently empty.

:ahhh:

I hope we see those buggers soon

Someone made a gigantic lava fortress and guess whats nearby? Burning trees. -_-

Also is algate still around? I traveled back to my compass spawn beacon and am unsure whats there. I mean a town obviously, but I can't find aldgate. Actually come to think of it I only ever seen the towns outside gate. So yea next time people are on I need some navigation. Also it would be cool if we could somehow get a map of the server.

Spawn point is changed into new town.
There is road leading into ruins of Aldgate.


Yes, map would be nice.

It was me.



Aldgate has been destroyed in order to move the story along, though there is still a road running from the new town to it's ruins. There's more info in the OP.

The new town that the spawn point is in is called Tornhemn. Not many people use it anymore. My home is near it, and there are a few people who are still there, but other than that most people seem to be moving out on their own and forming their own places. We have one group that is building a town literally an hour's walk away (real time) from Tornhemn.

Huh. Well I guess that leaves me only one choice. I have to make the river and waterfalls near my statues, at least two hours by boat. Then found the lonely hall on top of a hill and await intrepid adventurers to find me. Thanks for giving me my next like... year of online minecraft projects. Hahahah.

Just been crash testing my minecarts with chickens

Nice, I remember my crash testing days too. Those poor,poor cows.

Guys, Tornhemn is in flames.
I can confirm that it must be a glitch, because it was only I and Carlzilla doing our things and fire started out of nowhere.
The treehouses are gone.

If you are online, we'd like help because thehttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Cliffworms/FIre.jpg

We're valiantly fighting this blaze, but it may be beyond our control...please help...

Oh noes!!!
How?!

I'll help rebuilding soon as I get back home.
