Let's Play Minecraft

[flanman]

Any way I could get into this?

[Ed.]

I like how diverse our skills are here

Just some examples
Master gunner and fugiman are beasts at mining you guys should see the pits they excavated
Gaspode is an excellent treasure hunter he's found like four dungeons
I've mastered fluids
lying seems to have mastered redstone

And our numbers are growing

[Sylval]

Yay i just got my acceptance PM i cant wait to get in im gonna be so lost.

Question how do you guys communicate do you use ventrilo or something im assuming you dont but it would make coordination alot easier if you did and if not how do you talk to one another is it just trying to find the conversation in the middle of alot of groups of ppl trying to talk to one another?

[Ed.]

we use here and the in game chat box.

Cool when I get in i will put a message here so hopefully someone can show me where all the LRR stuff is happening.

[Ed.]

when you get in go to beacon city it's well marked, I cha direct you from there.

[EikoandMog]

At least you've gotten that far. I haven't even found any goddamn redstone to experiment with yet. I must not be digging deeply and greedily enough...

I can't find Iron. At all. I really want to play with minecarts too.

[Master Gunner]

How can you not find iron? It's the most common ore!

Fugi can also set up a teamspeak server for us for when we need greater communication. We used it on Saturday a bit.

[flanman]

Hilarious how nobody is answering.

[GaspodeTheDog]

Gaspode's guide on how to find anything:

1. dig
2. if you hit a cave explore the cave
3. return to step 1

also i found 9-10 dungeons so far, but only 5 of those are under our territory.
I can probably help with redstone/mechanics, redstone was just too buggy/laggy in SMP every time i tried to build something more fancy than a doorswitch.

I did build a collapsible bridge which is only missing the trigger as i wasn't in the mood to rebuild it and i need to, to test the trigger.

[Master Gunner]

Ah, I appear to be stuck at step 1. I get lost too easily, so I'll leave the exploring to you.

Not sure I'd say I've "mastered" Redstone, it has a lot of eccentricities and the key really is persistance and trial & error. A basic knowledge of boolean logic helps too.

[Fugiman]

1) I've been slacking off on mining recently...
2) Redstone isn't that bad, I've recently perfected an obnoxious airlock system
3) The teamspeak server is still up. "CoI-TS.dyndns.org" is the address. (TeamSpeak 3 though)
4) Yayyyy new people

[zfubarz]

got my message as well, when things are up and running, I'll try and get on later tonight, hopefully the whitelist will be updated promptly.

Most of the forum goers here use steam in some capacity or another, with the overlay it's pretty damn functional and has built in voice chat, we can always try using that if people like.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Hmm...can anyone connect to the server pre-whitelist or do they just get a timeout: server response? Because I have the IP and...then bubkus...

[Vanguard]

Still holding out for my message. If things go well I just might get it around the time the server updates are done.

Also, I ran out of gunpowder in SP but I was doing some experiments with explosives earlier. With some careful and well thought out digging and placement, along with some redstone wiring as a mechanism, we could rig a defense that could blow out massive chunks of dirt and sand out of the ground. Bonus points if we rig lava to flood into the newly made hole or something.

I wasn't able to due much without redstone wires, meaning that I had to touch dynamite to set it off, but according to the wiki it does the most damage across a wide radius to glass and other explosives. It's still pretty effective against sand and dirt, but for the biggest effect while using the least amount of TNT possible burying TNT in layers of glass with a layer or two of dirt over it to hide it may work best.

Oh, and if there's some empty space laying about that I can use as a test "blasting zone" that would be great...

[Master Gunner]

Lying, the server is down right now for upgrades, it will be up in a couple hours.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Guess I won't be online tonight then, ah well, got a 9 AM start today.

[Maerarde]

I only just got the server IP just now and the server is down *crying face* oh well I'll be on when it's back up.

[Master Gunner]

It's up!

[Vanguard]

My app hasn't been accepted as part of today's volley, so save me a spot to build my pathetic excuse for a home!

Oh, and another thing: is anyone else having problem with logging into the game? From both my launcher and a browser window the game gets to the "Updating Minecraft" screen and the progress bar is just stuck. Even after downloading new clients and restarting my PC it's been doing this for the better part of five hours.

[Master Gunner]

Well, canna's posted a new map, so everybody can see us now. And we can finally see us. I think we need to push the North and West borders out a bit, or a lot. I just don't think we've claimed enough of this landmass.

[Sylval]

I try to login and it says im banned...no idea why, I got accepted and i havent even logged on yet.

[Maerarde]

Hey me too! I just got accepted, But i think know the problem, Chad said we had to get whitelisted before we could get in. Coincidence?... or providence?

[Sylval]

I sent Chad a pm but i will just assume you are correct and wait and see if i can get in tomorrow.
