Server information:

I may switch to bukkit and get a local-chat plugin. This will help avoid chatbox clutter, and will create distance-based communication barriers.

===============================

11-MAR-14 Status of the Players update:

Otium has began a reclamation project on the nearby NPC village. New players will be accepted into the village through an "orientation room", which will contain signed books detailing the laws and rules. The King of Otium (Sting_Auer, me) will appoint a Foreman, who will act as an organizational official for the village.

Live villagers will be brought in, most likely by underground tunnel. Some will be kept in the fort for safety, and the village will be seeded to allow NPC's to repopulate and trade.

Otium has nearly completed their fortress wall. All that remains is to harvest additional stone from their cobblestone generators and complete the outer stone layer (for fireproofing).

I didn't do a Status of the Players update yesterday due to not much happening on the server that day. I will definitely be doing one if anything actually goes on :).

the status of the players thing is somewhat bizarre but still interesting.

Thanks for the feedback!

octagonal fencing? well thats kinda stupid. also stone is better.

Well, the idea is that it would approximate something like a circular wall, which would grant greater visibility.

Yes, stone is better. Now that we've gotten a cobble generator up, we should be able to fireproof our whole fort!

sweet. i tried it yesterday. difficult but fun.

I'm glad you liked it!

By the way, I'm thinking that we should add one more layer of walling around the whole thing before we finish the trench. Once most of the people are on I'll call a vote of our group and see if we should stick with how the fort is now and live in underground homes, or if we should add another layer of fencing, this time octagonal around the whole place.

It's just a fun and unique enemy. Almost an easter egg, pardon the pun

I noticed, once you respawn puts you back from sq 1 but prefer from where you died.

on server side, anything i can do fix that ?

Do you mean keep your inventory when you die? There's bukkit plugins for that.

Do you mean respawn at the site you died at? Why, that's dumb. Just make everyone invulnerable.

Most servers are garbage. There's no denying that. Many are run by children, most that aren't run by children aren't regularly moderated due to outside obligations, many offer adminship for money, and other stupid bullcrap that ruins the experience for everyone but the owner's wallet. It's one of the main reasons I started hosting servers.

The trick is to keep searching until you find a server that works for you. Keep in mind what you're looking for, read descriptions very carefully, and try interviewing admins or other players when you get on. Get a feel for the server, and remember that you can always lurk moar to get a better feel for the environment.

I hope I could help

Hello everyone! I made a fairly long hiatus from the forums, the reason for which should be fairly obvious in this subforum: People cause ­storms over every little change.

The current complaint is about how most current designs for iron farms and mob farms were made inoperable. Here's what I have to say to that:

Get over yourselves.

You complain about how gold blocks and iron blocks are too expensive to use in your builds without using a farm for them. That's the point, nimrod. If you want to make a golden throne room, use creative mode. If you want to make an iron fortress, use creative mode. Don't play SURVIVAL MODE and expect to make the most richesty rich richhouse of richness all by your lonesome.

Survival mode is called survival mode for a reason, and I am loving the more recent changes that are helping to make the mode live up to its name, as well as all of the other tools they are adding. They've been needed for too long, and I am very happy with Mojang for starting to implement them now.

The next major thing I'd love to see is a delay between clicking and your blade swinging and hitting, then a "recoil" period while you ready your next hit, but that's for a different thread on a different day. In the meantime, I'll be using the plethora of bukkit plugins and various mods to customize my SMP experience for the better.

With the conclusion of October, the server is returning to its normal uptime.

Possible late startup today (17 Oct. 2013). Don't freak out if the server isn't up on time!

Disregard the message about a late startup. The server will be starting at normal time today.

The server will be OFFLINE for all FRIDAYS and SATURDAYS this month (October).

Server updated to 0.77.21!

Remember to delete your configs after updating! This new versions fixes a bug related to blast furnaces.
