Org Minecraft Server

[rajpoot]

I put in some time today and finally managed to finish my castle. It's still bare-bones though...needs doors and all that stuff.

Also the experimental pumpkin farm is going exceedingly well so if someone needs pumpkins to start their own plantation they're welcome to take some from my chests.

I'm all for a group project. My side project is nearing completion and it's looking pretty good.

Are we thinking about a specific building or something bigger like a walled village with exotic materials and circuitry?

Personally I'm for a specific building/monument. Something like a huge townhall (based on the shape of some real world building...like the Pentagon for instance) in the center of the settled area.
An extoic village also has it's appeal but I fear that trying to do something too 'fancy' will mean more mining for exotic materials and less building....

Edit:
They might be tough, but big domes and spheres look very cool. I once made a hemisphere in SP with help of Minecraft Structure planner and it turned out very well.

[TinCow]

I'm also more inclined towards a really large building. A coliseum/arena or giant temple or something.

[Beskar]

My next project was going to be the "Org Tavern", but that would probably be smaller than TinCow's Batcave.

I think the monument should go inbetween the Pyramid, Csargo's Area and n00b hotel. Something big and grand... and we use that structure planner to create it, then anyone knows what needs doing and in their free time work upon it.

Big Ben, with Parliament included?

Or the White House?

Taj Mahal?

Pantheon, with notch and the makers of minecraft instead of the greek deities?

I still like my idea of a massive mau5 head.

Or we can go fictional!

Helms Deep?
Minas Tirith?
Minas Morgul?
Isengard?
Barad-dur (eye included)?

I can keep going if you like.

Oh, how about the mines of moria?
We mine, and build at the same time!
Win-win!

[Vladimir]

We might want to stay away from domed structures as they may look a little weird if they're not big enough.

Maybe something simple that we can build from strip mining and wood?

As far as exotic materials go: Glowstone lights would be good but things like wool may be difficult. I don't know how developed everyone's pastures are.

Wool can also be made from string, which can be harvested from spider webs. A thorough cleaning of a few abandoned mines would yield many stacks.

[rajpoot]

Perfect. Then all we need is an impressive yet nor overly complex structure.

My suggestion is something along the lines of a cylindrical building with pillars instead of walls covered by a hemispheric dome.
Another walled cylinder of equal height inside it.
Something like this with a dome on top.



Or we can have something like this -



Simpler shape, and we can use different materials like Vladimir said, instead of just stone.

[TinCow]

For the record, I've built a road to a second nether fortress. If we wanted to use Nether Brick, we could mine that one completely down. It's very large and would produce a ton of brick.

[Beskar]

What about building Winterfell in the Snow Biome?

[rajpoot]

Is the server off line right now?

[Beskar]

Looks like it needs restarting.

[TinCow]

Ah, ... sorry, I didn't check the server or the Org until I got to work. I won't be able to reboot it until I get home this evening.

[Vladimir]

When that does happen I'll be back adding a little local color to your megafortress map.

[rajpoot]

I managed to log in...it's fixed itself I think....

[TinCow]

That's... odd. Maybe it was just a connection issue.

[Vladimir]

That's... odd. Maybe it was just a connection issue.

Maybe it was the maid (again). I'm glad she was kind enough to reboot the server. I just wish she wasn't so careless.

I hope you don't have a cat!

Edit: Are we upgrading to 1.1.0? I really need the additional wool.

[Tuuvi]

It's been a long time since I played and I can't reach the server anymore. Have I been removed from the whitelist? The OP says I'm on there (as Chuchip), but I've tried several times over the past few weeks and it never works.

[Beskar]

Retry using the IP in the first post, you might have had the old one and never corrected to the new one. Silly Chuchip.

As Tiaexz said, try using the IP in the OP (74.96.163.86). I had network issues several weeks ago which required a hard router reset, and that made my IP change.

[Beskar]

I am going to have to find some where to build the Org Tavern.... might build it near the spawn point or build it near the Stronghold and turn it into my private island..

The other is a big fortress city in the Snow Biome.... so many areas and ideas!

[Vladimir]

Just had a look around. I'll think I'll stay in my mud hut.

I take it this project won't kick off until after Christmas/New Year's. Let me know how I can help.

Sorry I forgot about that post. I tried the new IP and it worked, thanks. Looks like someone harvested all my wheat, let all my animals loose, broke the window on top of my room, and stole my iron and gold. I'm guessing it was one of the people that was stealing other people's stuff before you closed the server to the public. Oh well, I guess that's what I get for being too addicted to Skyrim to play lol.

Oh and I like the idea of having a community project and I'd love to chip in.

[Vladimir]

You're out of beer too.

For the broken window, that may have been me. I got nuked by a creeper while walking next to your house a really long time ago and a good chunk of wall was destroyed. I fixed what I could at the time and I think Csargo fixed some as well, but we might have missed the window. The animals probably escaped on their own. My animals constantly get out of their pens even though they are completely fenced in. Since you haven't logged in for so long, I'm not surprised there are none left. I have no idea about the wheat, iron, or gold, but you are welcome to take whatever resources you need to rebuild from my house.

The map of the server has been updated and is now current as of about 11pm EST last night.

[edit]Here is the proposed location for the community project:



I think that is a good location, as it is large, relatively flat, and easily accessible for pretty much everyone. Now we just need to decide what to build there...

[Vladimir]

That's an excellent location. Flat, square, and close to everyone's projects.

Do you have a map of Funcowland?

[TinCow]

Do you have a map of Funcowland?

You can see pretty much everything there is to see on the main map. I've only built the one roller coaster, I got distracted by other things after I finished it and have not added anything else yet.

[Beskar]

I think thefluffyone has explored the furtherest now!
