Some time has passed in the world, and stuff has happened.

I've left the server on for a time and passed the IP out to a few more people who seemed interested in building stuff.

There has been alot of mining, and Pryamid built, as well as very pretty wooden cottages that go against all fire codes out there.

We also got griefed, as TNT was found strapped to buildings.

As I have no clue with server things I really cant tell who did it, or how. Fortunatly the TNT didn't cause many issues, although there was much cursing.

As for myself, I have been spending time trying to mine obsidian, avoiding being mauled by zombies from a spawner. Getting a chest, then dying and loseing much cool stuff, including a diamond picaxe.

Grr...

I wouldn't of minded too much, if I hadn't rescued all my stuff, then promptly died.. Twice...

Drat..

So I'm back to square one, although my mob trap seems to work now, just need to do something about all the chickens.

So, I can run minecraft but often at an alarmingly slow rate...

Hmmm.

Anyway, things seem to be working now and people can connect via net as well as local.

Salamander3 is building another wooden house, in the middle of a lake.

TK has died and gotten lost and built several bases in an attempt to stay alive.

I am currently trying to build a mob farm, out of the side of a mountain.

So, going well so far, and I haven't burnt anything down.

Yet.

Soooooo,

We learnt 2 improtant lessons in this test, which I will get too later in this comentary.

So TK was cajoled into getting the server exe to run and four of us proceeded to twiddle our thumbs as we tried to get things too work. We quickly established that TKs computers require more power, as they maxed out his ram in short order.

That established I stepped up to run the server, and one quick exe we were away. Inital thoughts, very resource heavy but once the game begins to stablise it ran smoothly and the landscape was nice.

Not sure at the start if it was on normal, as no obvious options on the basic server, but this was quickly established as well.

Creepers are not nice things.

So the game progressed and I began to do my usual stick of setting up a fort and lighting it, usually with flaming logs.

And, I started a small forest fire.

Oops.

This caused some cursing and panic as wood was farmed in sort order to stop the swath of devastation. This led to Salamander3 to proceed to build a wooden house.

Eeve3 started to mine down and PSlion planted trees, everywhere...

And I started to build up my fortress up as I do.

The biggest problem was, as I saw it, were the creepers who congregated around the corners of our bases and usually blew up next too, or on top off, a base.

So I planted some burning logs...

Next to a wooden building...

Ah,

Oh, well...

So, lesson number 1) Dont let me play with fire.

Lesson number 2) Dont build houses from wood.

Server restart.....

So big Alex went out and got me minecraft and now I am forever dragged into a world of cubes and grind. I'm not sure if I want to hug him or kill him. 5 World in and I'm at the point where I can at least mine and balls up mob fars and lava traps.

The simple idea of having projects going in mining and building keeps dragging me back, as does the prospect of a server TK willing.

I'll let you all know my progress and if the server idea come about, and I do not play on that pussy peaceful mode.

I'm a man who will die stupidly whilst building my lava traps at night.

&^%$&^ creepers.

For those who don't know me, or follow TTR on Mondays at 9:00pm, I play role play games. The main one being a game based on M&M D20 rules (edited) called Orthodoxy.

I will be occasionally dropping things into the TTE library at www.tigertailsradio.co.uk like notes and character sheets as well as maybe explaining a little on the orthodoxy world.

If your interested, check out the new site once its up, or search out the tigertails library on this piece of software.

I do have to say that the things created within the Orthodoxy world are the property of people with big sticks. And myself, who all my friends consider to be, a sociopath.

Be warned.
