That would take a while. normally to make something out of obsidian you either create a mold or you mine it... and with the BEST pickaxe, it takes something like twelve seconds to mine one obsidian block.

ive already made one 60 levels high 14 rooms each with storage furnace bed and crafting bench jst let me know which room you want and ill change the sign in the room to have room number and name

You haven't made it out of obsidian like this guy wants to.

I need to expand my obsidian room into an obsidian keep, with a cobble castle wall surrounding it...

hmm.. maybe only the ground floor out of obsidian then, just to make it creeper proof..

Right, it's easier to make a bunch of buckets and just create a mold of water one level at a time to make an obsidian structure (when water hits still lava, it turns to obsidian, while when water hits flowing lava it turns into cobble).

or pay me to mine the obsidian for you

gotta have protals like my tower look awsum they do

So when I spawn on the server, will I pop up somewhere in the wild or in some maddening construct made to mess with new miners?

In the wild very near to everyones houses and the safehouse.

I think the closest house to you will be mine.

Just look for the massive Lavafall.

So Nick, Chowder and I found some Creeper friends outside the newly constructed arena.

Ok brace yourselves for a wall of images, here's the arena that we've been working on today:

An overall view:



The corridoor to the stands:



The greasy spoon cafe:





The arena:



Commentry box view (poor to ensure appropriately terrible commentry ):



The view from the arena floor:





Fight!:



Night shot of the approach:



Sadly a few repairs are already needed thanks to a creeper or two but aside from those the arena is open for business.

The arena is built (apart from a few pieces of armour), but I want more of a gladiator feel.
Lego, next time you're on could you magic up a zombie spawner behind some doors?
Then have a kind of "release the lion" moment, but with zombies.

Sadly, one cannot summon a "Zombie Spawner".

HOWEVER, he can spawn a Pig Spawner. We could have a kill-it-all-the-fastest contest.

Maybe just a really dark room, but then creepers and skeletons...

Cool idea. Sad you can't create spawners, but I like that idea. We just need 26 diamond. When I get home i'm fighting chowderhead.

You could create a zombie spawner by making a large dark room attached to the arena.

I'll do that once I get home to my laptop.

It will also spawn creepers, spiders and skeletons.

You can filter out the spiders by making the exit hole only one wide and two tall or conversely filter out everything but spiders by making the exit hole one high and two wide.

Spiders would be cool

So....

I blow'd up the arena

How'd you manage that?

Yes you did and I suspect I might have just lost all the stuff I had to repair it plus my regular equipment to a crash

match report (duel no. 1)
chowderhead vs shrike

shrike started off well, getting several hits in, weaving past chowder's swings.
chowder managed to claw back slightly, getting a few good hits in before shrike launches another attack.
sensing defeat, chowder digs under the floor and detonates his hidden TNT he planted earlier.
chowder dies in the blast, but shrike stands tall with over half of his health remaining.
pictures from the commentary box will be put up shortly.

What a wussy move
[edit] next fight, let me be the commentator!

no pics for that bout I'm afraid typing and taknig screenies is nearly impossible.

match report (duel no. 2)
cheesepie vs shrike
cheesepie started well, battering shrike to half his health before he got a hit in.
shrike started to play more defensive, waiting for the right moment to strike.
soon, both of them have little health. they clash in the middle one last time and...
cheesepie emerges victorious!
it was a close game, with cheesepie needing medical treatment with one heart remaining.
the leaderboard is as follows:

1st- shrike and cheesepie- 1 each
2nd- chowderhead- 0

Pictures from the second fight, including Cheesepie's special technique which we haven't learnt the name of yet.

Trading blows.




Special new move.


Cheesepie being declared the winner.


The two bowing to each other after the fight.

as you may tell, it was a fair (chowder) game and fun for all. congradulations in winning the first "fistcuff" fight on the server, cheesepie.
