From the com box that bout was very entertaining, I just wish I could type fast enough to provide something a little more indepth.

I have a name for the special move:
diggy diggy hole.
that is all.

The arena is fine, nothing wrong.

On a separate note, the arena is undergoing repairs due to my fight going FUBAR fast.

It was pretty entertaining though, until the creepers...

I expect the arena to be rebuilt by noon tomorrow, if not I want a load of people to come with me to rebuild it.

but but granny bacon died :/

Creepers going mental today, one blew up the tree farm. One spawned INSIDE Not_U's house and did massive damage (i fixed the wood and painting as well as I could), two blew up the stairs to chowders house, one blew up the glass above the vertical mineshaft next to cheesepie's house and one blew up not_u's front lawn.

so that's 10 creeper attacks in one day (including the arena)?!
Fellows, the mobs have countered once more.

And another creeper blew up the link between someones house and choweders.


In other news, there is a pack of wolves in the sanc.

The creepers are massing. Soon they will envelop the entire world.

We must counter. Cut down all the trees, block off all the caves, and place as many torches as possible.

ILLUMINATE THE WORLD!!!

A skelie spawned in my house but my two wolves saved me.
It was because I took down torches as I went from planks to glass

Theres another creeper attack, tried to ninjaplode me. Luckily my armour saved me .

A Creeper explosion is performed when a Creeper comes to within 6" of its target. Place the Large Blast Template over the Creeper, ensuring the hole is directly above the Creeper's head. This blast does not scatter and models underneath the template take a hit that always wounds on a 2+ with the following profile:

Creeper Explosion -- Range: X -- Strength X -- AP- -- Assault 1, Large Blast, Ignores Cover

Furthermore, units hit by a Creeper explosion must pass a leadership check with a modifier of -D6. Units that pass may act as normal, units that fail cannot act until the owning player's next turn as they become overly paranoid and attempt to build makeshift fortifications with what they can find. To represent this, they are automatically counted as having a 6+ cover save or modifying an existing one by +1 to a maximum of 2+. If assaulted, combat is performed as normal. Whilst in this state of paranoia, the unit is Fearless and has the Counter-Attack special rule.

Wow, i see what you did there and its awesome lol.

corpses, cheesepie and I are going on a quest to find a mountain. having located one (with a huge cave system nearby), we are mining out the top to make a volcano.
'tis the adventure of the deep sea diver, the dwarf and the space marine.

I think the Blood God wants my blood, mined into a cave where 4 creepers laid in wait. I survived somehow while only being shaken lol.

You know you're crazy when you're covering your new base with a fake mountain and you run out of dirt 3% into the mountain building process, yet you still believe you can do it.

are you making it hollow?

Yes, the outer wall is only going to be about 1-2 blocks thick.

wait, so over 1000 blocks, hollow, and only around 3% done?!
this is gonna end up as big as everest...

If this goes well, that would be my next project; a hollowed-out mountain sort of like Farthen Dur from the Inheritance Cycle. There'd be no peak, only a large ring at the top which pushes against the floor of the heavens (or the roof of the world if you'd prefer to see it that way ), there'd be a large chamber where i'd hope to have a diamond block floor, a long, winding staircase with a trough of water flowing beside it and lots of tunnels leading to nowhere imparticular.

Surrounding it would be rings of increasingly smaller mountains with little valleys. The only way inside the main mountain would be through entrances in the outer ring leading to a web of passages, or through a secret entrance only those who've read Eragon would know about.

It'd take weeks, if not months or years to complete, but the end result would be amazing.

Well, feel free to grab any dirt that I might have on my various chests scattered across my home and the tunnels between here and sanctuary. I don't use dirt or gravel, so they're extra to me.

Same, there is a few chests along my highway system with dirt.

Day hasn't started until a Creeper blows up my lawn.

Just making a LOG house along the railway out of (what I assume is) Sanctuary. I would be SUPER excited-happy to help make Farthen Dur, I love those books! Inheritance comes out in november too! Theres a good few hours of my life gone


Melissia, I fail to see where your house is, even on my (fairly outdated) map of our world. What are the coord's/ what direction is it in? Dont worry I wont steal your door

Whoever posted that last screen dump of the world (Either yakface or Legoburner) could you please post an updated one, even a labelled one would be sweet! They are so helpful, thanks

Also, does anyone else see the worldhole near the massive penthouse near the big Sugar Cane farm?

Either way my lag stopped and Id love a updated screen dump or is there a way I can get one myself?

I don't think the Sanctuary has a railway. It's at 0,0 if you're looking for it though, generally people will/should give directions from there as it's easier for everyone to figure out.
