yes.
at anyone in brandywine, I started to build a portal when I got disconnected yesterday night.
you just need to add wooden lining and light the obsidian.

Near the sanc on the road to the pagoda there is a cobble and wood house called "ljthefreakingod house", despite evidently being made by a new player it has full diamond tools, nearly full iron tools, 25 iron ingots, 19 diamond, 18 gold and some of each rail as well as other resources.

I am a tad suspicious, could anyone explain this?

Some craaaazy lag right now!

That would belong to this guy: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/user/profile/32783.page

Is anyone 'Adminstrative' on the server, or online at the moment? Also, Shrike, can you vouch for me? I just need proof that you know me.

No minecraft admins are on the server at the moment.

Guys, I am an official MC badarse(/ass).
I just killed a ghast with a sword.

Nice. I feel like i'm missing out on the action. Curse you universe! Life, existance, and everything!

On a lighter note, I have three green testicles.

I killed a ghast with its own fireball.

Try to keep it pg-13 mate, this is a family forum.

Yeah, sorry. I thought that came under Biology for years 10+ After all, it is part of nature.

Aye in context, however just shouting testes isn't particularly mature or relevant

Okay, now I need thirty iron blocks isntead of twenty, because I died and then the server restarted and now I'm missing everytrhing in my inventory. Thankfully the only nonreplaceable stuff was the iron, though I still need a block of gold from before.

That's a rather nasty tally of lost stuff due to restarts, character resets, etc, lol...

nether glitches (might just be this server):
some tools instantly break when you use them- I lost a diamond pick, my flint and steel, and 4 stone picks (even with high durability);
zombie pigmen, when hurt by ghasts, attack the nearest player;
if you take damage in the nether, and then go back to the real world, the damage goes away until you venture in again (though it doesn't display on your health bar).

I lost a diamond pick too.

Yeah, the zombie pigmen have a tendency to lash out and swear vengeance on anyone stepping within their territory.
I'm sure Mojang and Notch can work on these problems. If they aren't already perfecting 6.5.

Well when they are can someone let me in before I have to kick over some chairs to get attention?

Post your details there.

*Burns all the chairs* Ha! Now you can never gain attention!

The server's back up.

Thats good, I was getting the 'Connection Timed Out' message when I tried. I just need legoburner to accept me in before I can start commuting with you guys. I am glad you have a stricter entering system, it's great against anyone we don't know or trust. Of course, you guys will still need to get to know me, but i'm a nice person really.

Yeah the strict entering system doesn't really work too well We don't tend to turn many people away and end up banning griefers rather than preventing them from joining.

It does lead to some epic scenes though, the mourning in the rain by wolfs ruined boat was an especially powerful moment.

Someone has taken both of my gold music disks (or they've just randomly disappeared) but oddly left my full double chest untouched.

They also managed to bypass my security (that makes regular entry impossible when i'm offline unless they found the secret entrance (in case my house is entered when i'm outside and the doors are locked by the intruder), but it'd require them knowing exactly where to look.

It's more likely they just broke right in, but whatever was damaged (if anything) has been perfectly replaced.

Hey all long time reader kind of a lurker i guess was wondering what i could do to get a invite into the world you all are working on, and for what its worth i'm not one of those goober griefers, just wanna join up and stake a claim onto what sounds like a sweet community.

DAMN! After the server crashed I lost 75 gold ingots… That is in addition to the 5 diamonds last week… i was just about to use the gold to make blocks for my project too :(

Is it ok to ask who the admins are or who can do the allow for new players? malchnor is my name for minecraft if that is what you would need.

why is server stability such an issue? is this being hosted on a desktop?

It's hosted on the server that handles Dakka when the main Dakka server is busy or down or something, as I understand it. So when the main server is busy, the backup one picks up the slack, at the expense of the minecraft server. At least that's how I've seen it explained.

The multi-player on minecraft isn't complete so that is one of the problems...
