They all got into bed and then there was just the problem of the one guy who was either mining and so didn't have a bed, or someone had gone AFK to either farm a grinder or to get a drink ect. I remember the rage this used to cause and how pleased I was when Shrike told me about the new command dark had added.

If it really came to be that big of an issue, I know I'd willingly sign out for a few seconds if I could not make it to a bed.

Then we found out they could just log out for a few secs then bam.
Doesn't help against the AFK though, but at least the sun actually sets and rises now.

Well, yes, in principle, but if we can get others to die in caves for us, all the more win

and in exchange we'll give them wood and food

Well, my uncle's a dwarf, so I guess I should follow my heritage... plus I already have a couple of dwarf skins and built a giant dwarf statue...
I'll help with both projects, depending on who's online

How can I stay interested in MC? I've been building underground junk, but that's not doing it. I'm still bored...

Possibly in swedish? Seing as that is where Mojang is based.

Propose a group project, that got me back in to it when I proposed suburbia.

After seeing these new, writeable books, I think I am going to try and build a libary. When I get time to go online again.

Could I build it in suburbia Melissia? Over 2/4 plots.

I think it'd depend on whether bookshelves have been coded to store books or not. A library that contains no readable books or bookshelves would serve no real purpose.

Sure. Build it next to the bridge on the far side.

The side that's AWAY from the haunted house and preferably also somewhat away from that ugly fething maze that sky still needs to get off his lazy ass and get to work on; if at all possible, we don't want to risk the house's or the ugly fething maze's monsters blowing up the library.

For now, we could at least store them in chests while waiting for bookshelves.

I usually alternate between exploring/excavating and building large structures.
I've started three unfinished large projects and alternating between them has kept me entertained.

yeah, it should be:
Bold is "b", strikethrough is s, underline is u, italics is i, reset is r...

though they may be swedish, shouldn't they cater for the larger percentage of their customers, us english speaking folk?

I was planning to have bookshelves with chests at the ends of rows so that books can be stored.

Also, how many plots can I have?

It might be because I don't know of anyone who would use that particular symbol at any point in text.

~ means approximately, so that might be used.
The letters on their own will obviously be used.
<> Can be used as brackets or some other purpose.
[], {} and () can also be used as brackets.

There aren't that many symbols that can be used with a letter unless you somehow manage to make html code work with the book.

EDIT: Misread, yeah, the letters that link to them are strange.

Also, just went on and Kaptain_Khaos's house is just gone. It's just a hole in the ground.


Another note: I have planted the abbandoned farm that used to be full of cows with pine trees for the libary. I need lots of wood.

Also, is this area claimed? If not I'd like to start making a ork village here.

If you look closely at your first link, you'll see someone's house in that mountain, maybe relocate.

Dem and I moved to the middle of the ocean. We took what we wanted and left anything we couldn't carry behind for others to have for free. We came back a few days later and dismantled our houses to free up space.

That farm you speak of was also ours. You can have it / do what ever with it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

After the split of colors slabs amde it so much easier to build the walls I was making

Current wood won't change color. So just make a bunch of slabs now and save yourself the headache later.

If you need a certain color of wood, I'm sure people would be willing to trade.

Maybe there will be an option to stain wood in the future. Something like ink sac + sapling = 16 wood stain (use like dye).

You guys have me curious on trying out the game...

I'll probably get a bit pissed if tfg is on and either a. doesn't own a bed or b. is trying to troll us by not sleeping on purpose

I almost always sleep in beds, even with zzzzz, unless I'm working on a big project

Hey guys for my Libary I just noticed how small it is should i expand it (Would show you the map but the map isn't up to date.)

Don't know if it's possible, but have a rule that if half of those online at the time are sleeping, it skips night, or some such so at least a few people will have to be in bed?

also, these books will mean I'm going to be writing in minecraft a lot
my life story (my MC characters, anyway), history of projects I've been in etc...

maybe write a profile of the daring deeds of justice done by pig man and pig lass...

too many ideas...

Don't forget the epic of the chicken!

Yes, leave the story for others to read

I for one will be writing down Elven lore, and laws ( basically I'll copy paste the rules into each book, have multiple copies

Vendetta 476 wrote:Don't forget the epic of the chicken!

ah, that's Iustis' job

I joined up and will be starting to do some playing around. Claimed a small plot in suburbia, but can move it around if we need room for the library.

Then I require slaves scribes to copy the original tome for mass production and distribution.
