So the residential department in the vault has now been blown up twice.I knew it was a bad idea to tell the public about our failsafe self-destruct. :P

I had to go in a certain direction across a lake, so I built a bridge of dirt to get to the other side while still making sure I was facing the right direction. When I went back to remove the bridge, I created a riptide that pulled everything that touched it into the area where the blocks were, and you can't swim out of it unless you go underwater. Luckily, I suppose, some ducks and sheep were dancing around on my bridge in their usual mentally challenged fashion, and one of the more brilliant of the sheep decided to jump off of an island on the left that you can't see and directly into the riptide, resulting in this picture of http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/3276/smartestsheep.png

This is going to make construction very difficult.

The vault has been compromised. Someone blew up the Residential hallway whilst I was mining the Self Destruct Device tunnel. I had not placed any TNT yet.

This same person, or persons, placed TNT inside the engineering department as well, undetonated.

The self destruct device was to be a means of destroying the vault should the vault be compromised.

There was a griefer among us that placed the TNT. I have destroyed my office and the Control Center. I am now looking for a place for Vault 001 as 000 is now abandoned. The new vault with have a STRICT AS [censored] selection process. I don't want to hear any [censored] whining about wanting in.

And so the lone wanderer was smart in his decision to roam the earth and leave the dieing vaults they so eagerly invited him into.

So I suggest moving to a new vault and everyone suspects me of griefing, and now that's what we're doing? This [censored] game brings out the worst in people <_<

:celebration:

Cannot wait for this. Just in time for Thanksgiving break from school too. :D

* Add “pvp” toggle flag to the server settings: NOT STARTED.


Just noticed this. This could be bad if people end up abusing pvp, since it doesn't look like we'll be able to turn it off for now.

I'd think all of the stuff in that list would be finished by the time the update is released.

The vault damage is rather upsetting. I though of this community as a mature group, it feels as If I may be wrong after all. At least one of us is incapable of being so and now I know not who to trust.

I think any large community project is doomed to failure from the start. Too many differing ideas of how it should be done. I think the multiple admin-led vaults could work well.

I like the idea. Plus it could be cool to have more then one vault. Each vault doing a different thing with different types of people. "Experiments" if you will. :D

And we could all use a different Steam chat if we wanted to keep things secret or confined to people within one vault.

What happened to the Vault? I'll tell you:

I will NOT. NOT. Give out names. Nobody deserves to be banned over this.

I decide it would be fun if we threw a little bit of dissent into the game. I build a little hidden room filled with anti-overseer signs. A certain admin discovers me building the room. He likes the idea and keeps quiet.

One day I log in and suddenly another Admin is questioning me about Vault rebels. It becomes apparent he's found the room. I play it off saying things like "You'll never find out who they are!" and all that. This same admin spots me in the overseer's office. I'm told that's against "vault law." Wait a minute; here's the rules I agreed to:
1. Never tell anyone the location of the vault.

2. If you go AFK always remember that your name can still be seen. When Hmod is back you should sethome to the vault and always go to spawn when you are AFK. Until Hmod is back, going AFK either means you should log out or make SURE that nobody is around on the surface.

3. Never leave the airlock door open! Leaving the airlock door open allows outsiders to see the secret entrance to the vault!

4. If you go outside of the vault and onto the surface, never leave any traces that you were there. If you cut down a tree, trim the leaves. If you mine some sand, make it look natural. If you mine some clay, fill in the holes the clay leaves with sand. Use your noggin!

5. Eventually the vault will have an underground bank for the entire server. The bank will be encased in adminium and will have an Iron Door with an elaborate redstone torch combination lock. Never take any items from the bank that aren't yours. Never give out the combination, should you receive it. Never leave the bank door open!

6. Never mine upwards to the surface, you could inadvertently expose the vault to the outside world!

7. Never mine into the netherstone walls.

8. No unapproved expansions.

9. Obey the Overseer.


Nowhere in there does it say anything about the Overseer's office.

ANYWAY! The reason I was in the office? I was going to leave a message. Just a fun message from the rebels to the overseer. A kind of first contact. That's all. Then? I play around a bit, and log off. I'm not sure if there's another day in between there. If there was, then I didn't do anything remember-able.

I log in again another day. A certain someone comes on Steam and puts me up to speed. Apparently my secret room had been found and Bone had destroyed it "as an example." Somebody had liked my room and rebuilt it. Somebody else accidentally sets off the vault's "self-destruct system" or something. I'm unsure on what exactly happened after that, but apparently more TNT was placed and set off in different areas. They didn't really explain it that well. It was mostly a "Hey! Look what happened :D!" kind of thing.

So. Now I'm on the threshold of being banned and I don't even know exactly why. Great.

I don't know if I'll be playing if PvP is on. Too much of an opportunity fro griefing. At least there isn't going to be fall damage.

This update also means that HMod won't work again. :(

Ex, I don't think anybody is saying that you were the one to blow up the vault. You weren't even on at the time.

What happened is that Undone and ROFLwaffle were installing the self-destruct, ROFL accidentally set it off blowing up you and undone's rooms. The damage was repaired and a short time later we were all of doing other things. Then someone starts saying things like "Holy [censored]." And "What the hell happened here?" Everybody gathers at the area we had just repaired. It was blown sky high. Way more then last time. It seems that someone placed TNT in the same area after we were done fixing it. We spent a while wondering if it was a glitch, an accident (Again) or a griefer. This went on until we found out that someone had blown up part of the roller coaster and a bunch of TNT hanging form the ceiling. There was no doubt after that there was a griefer in the vault after that.

Bone then states that the vault has been compromised and that he's leaving and setting up a new vault. After that a few of us started to RP that the vault had been destroyed in one way or another and we decided to help it along. While we were doing that you came on-line. The rest you know.

Honestly, being killed won't even be as bad as being griefed. Just be smart about it. Don't carry a bunch of valuable stuff around with you.

Definitely not a reason to quit playing the game over, people. Minecraft is supposed to be fun.

I just don't really think that it would be very fun. Constantly dieing over stupid things like falling off a cliff or something. And since HMod won't be working we won't be able to use our /sethome and will be unable to return to the place of our deaths. While I think that PvE would be cool, I think that only the mobs should be able to kill you. Or at least make it to where you don't lose your inventory afterwords.

Well today in classic I have made a giant castle of sorts with a huge glass ceiling on top and I built a small tower about maybe 400 spaces or so away and started a bridge from one side to another. I am having trouble placing the blocks quickly without falling . Meh I will take a screenshot when I am done.

Sounds like by the time the update's out there will be a flag the admins can check to make it so PvP will not be possible. So if it does become a problem it can be turned off.
