I was too. I spent to long trying to get there :c

mrcrazy_monkey, I just realized you've built the Nether base in such a way that it completely surrounds the teleporter tunnel on all sides except downward. When it's my turn again I want to build a second tunnel, but I can't place it left or right of the already existing one without destroying part of the base. So what I'm going to do is rebuild the current tunnel further down, and all future tunnels will be built here. Building anything in front of the tunnels is at risk of being destroyed if a longer than usual tunnel needs to be built, and building anything to the left or right of the tunnels is at risk if someone wants to build a new one. So I'm asking you and anyone else to please keep it in mind when building in the Nether.

I'll make sure to clearly outline where the boundaries of this level are when I get the map, so you wont need to worry about accidentally building anything there, but anyone who is going to be on the map before me should probably avoid building anything directly below the current tunnel just to be safe. Building anything on the same level as the current tunnel is fine, as is building anything far below it, as the new tunnel will only be a dozen or so blocks below the current one.

Wow that looks really nice. The achievements also are nicely done.

My worry is that the achievements will be useless and bothersome. It seems like crafting every little thing (for the first time) is a milestone. I think there needs to be some sort of in game incentive to want to achieve certain things.

I also hope that the rain sound they're using is just placeholder. It just sounds like a stream at the moment. The weather effects do look great though. I'm totally stoked!

Meh, I'm indifferent towards achievements. They don't bother me. So what if they're useless? I see no reason not to give someone a little recognition for doing... something.

I remember Notch saying that most of the achievements will be difficult. Like.... ride a pig off of a cliff.

Does he define a cliff? Couldn't I build one/ carve one out?

you could, but you can't control a pig once you get on it.

Yeah I know..I think the hardest part of that achievement would be to obtain a saddle. You could potentially find some wild pigs..trap them with some wood fences or stone slabs or something...carve around a cliff..

you're bound to fall off.

I just wanted to ask everyone on the shared map to not build anything, for the time being, on the big island at the other end of the bay. It's the big triangle shaped one that's half desert, north of the strip mine. I've been building a project there on the current version of the map and plan to rebuild the project when it's my turn. We all have equal say on what happens on the map, so it's not like I'm calling dibs or anything, but the project is intended for this island so I would be very very grateful if everyone would avoid building there for now. Of course if anyone else also been making plans for it, let me know so we can figure out what to do.

I'm done with the shared map. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7154191/BSF%20Shared%20Map.rar

This makes it my turn now, right?

yeah

It also looks like lightning can strike. Wooden buildings beware! Achievements/statistics are nice too.

So, Nuck... http://i55.tinypic.com/99i5ba.jpg :bonk:

Also, I enjoyed that mini quest you made. I was impressed by how well you figured out where the player would go first and what things they would initially overlook, like the hole under the bed and the "YOU WILL DIE" sign.

Is it possible to use that plug-in that enables you to travel to another server so my server can join your Nether server?

Don't quote me on this, but I think that's the same plugin that lets us go to the nether.

Yea exactly; my friends want to play on the Nether and i dont think i am able to handle another server.

But you gotta remember that all of these are just for fun, Notch even stated that and of course with nodded maps people could just mod situations to get them all of the achievements. But then you would be lame.

When I joined the server I spawned inside the ground and started dying. What's going on?

I would like to be added to the whitelist for the multiplayer server, please.

It happens sometimes. Just type /spawn once you log in.



You need to tell us your Minecraft username.

Argh, how could I forget? :facepalm:

My username is Boombox_ (with the _ )

Well you're in!

Or I think you are. If you aren't you can blame an admin. :yes:

I suppose the rain puts out the fire immediatly. Otherwise I'd be more worried about forests. They'd all be doomed.
