Looks like no votes against and several votes for then.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

If it allows these puny conjurers of cheap tricks to come near to the majesty of science and industrialisation, then I don't want to deny them that

Industry is simply the application of available technology. Technology is simply the use of accumulated knowledge to control your environment. Knowledge of the Arcane is just as viable as knowledge of Physics. Science is merely the application of trial and error to the process of learning.
There is no divide between Engineering and Magic- they're simply two paths to reach the same conclusion.

I agree. I just wanted to use the line "conjurer of cheap tricks" in conversation.

More importantly, I just find tech more interesting than magic, for the purposes of Minecraft. Other people disagree, but really, all this means is that I don't care if KAMI is put in because it won't really effect me.

The weird horizontal stripes of ice are ATG's polar regions. ATG makes the biomes cluster in strips of cold - warm - hot - warm - cold and so on. There's also an overlapping radial effect going on there too if you zoom out far enough and note the edge of the dark brown coloured biomes.
I'm making use of one of Dynmap's somewhat new features, "boost zoom". The way it works is that by default you only get to zoom in so far for most of the world before it just gets blurry. This means storage space and cpu cycles aren't wasted on rendering hi-definition ocean or empty terrain.
I can then designate regions of interest, which are rendered in much higher resolution. In this example, spawn is rendered in high resolution while the rest of the map is not.
Those of you who also want similar high resolution regions can let me know once you've started building. If you prefer to hide in the pixels, you don't need to tell me anything.
Because only certain sections of the map are high resolution, I can actually make them even higher resolution than the previous Unleashed map, without worrying about performance problems from the whole map being super hi resolution.
As for spawn itself, dynmap doesn't currently have support for some of the blocks I'm using, so it looks like it's missing a few bits here and there. Also the "bridge" is a work in progress, there's only one small building on it so far, I hope to add more to give it a somewhat messy-industrial look, but might leave that until after I open access to the server.
The Nexus is now a snow island instead of a wheat island, as you can see by switching dimensions on the map (the menu pops out of the right hand side for most modern browsers).
I've also changed the mining age quite a bit, but I'll leave that as a surprise...
Still on the todo list:
Pre-generate some Twilight Forest terrain (as it is often laggy to generate)
Sort out starting inventories
Double-check all the things
/whitelist reload
Knowing my luck they'll release a Monster update this weekend
Very odd terrain generation... not really sure I like it, though. imho I think its looks a bit bizarre and I much rather liked the smattering of the different biomes. oddly enough, that looked more cohesive than this does. :/
EDIT: Also, when I get enough resources I may think about building a nexus similar to the one DW20 made in his current server play series (it should work in Monster, I can't see any changes that would prevent it from working)

I'd like to settle here. I'm going to need villagers later, and I wanted to live somewhere quite flat.

He gets it, then. He was there first. I'll find somewhere else. I had thought I'd checked everyone's claims, but apparently I derped. I choose here.
Flat, grassy, villagers, and even a tower nearby if I want to go on a spot of dungeon raiding.
Edited to fix wrong link.

If he has, then I claim those three floating islands, and the general area around them, including that village.

I think I'll still start the server tomorrow on Monster 1.0.9 and we can stay on this version until they stop swapping things around and decide what they want to make final.

The new settings in 1.0.10 don't make much sense to me. They've enabled all biomes in BoP (which they often say is bad as it makes it hard to find normal biomes) and they've enabled both Biomes o Plenty and Highlands by default. These two mods both do the same thing and even have Biomes that look the same as each other's. I noticed that the modpack list still lists Monster as 1.0.9, so it's probably a good idea to hang back on this version until they decide what's going on.
Anyway, just about 15 mins till I make the server live, so get ready if you want:
Start the FTB Launcher and choose Monster from the pack list on the left.
From the drop down box in the top right, choose: 1.0.9:
Click Launch
It will download the pack, install it and launch the game
Once you get to the title screen, click Quit Game (because you now need to enable the "disabled by default" mods)
Start the FTB Launcher and choose Monster from the pack list on the left.
Click the Edit Mod Pack button
Hold CTRL and click (to select them all at once):
Biomes o Plenty
Blood Magic
Thaumic Tinkerer KAMI
Click Enable
Optionally, you can also choose a map mod of your own preference to add. Choose just one of:
Opis
ZansMinimap
ReiMinimap
(The one that was in Unleashed is ZansMinimap if you don't like change )
JourneyMap appears to be an accompanying mapping mod so can be selected in addition to the above maps if you want its features.
Launch the game.
Click Multiplayer
Click Add Server
Enter any name you like
Enter the server address ftb.darkinnit.com:25585 Enjoy (soon)
