I WANT THAT SPOT!!!!
Do whatever you want, Redwing, it's OUR world.
Just don't break somebody else's stuff and you'll probably be fine.
Holy christ. Just looked at the latest overview picture. Can't believe how big my citadel is turning out.
What happened to the two buildings that were quite near me though, on opposite sides of the north road?

Ok Chiggie, here's your next canvas if you so choose to use it
Also, dont feel restricted to the height. You can always extend it up into the sky... thats the reason I brought this down to the bedrock so people can create things that are the full height of the working world

Is this near the other thing I did for you?
Yup, its the same spot just to the right of your Code of Arms.

Man, lava is tough to deal with if you lose control of it.
Ok, my project is all finished up. I'll work out how to take pictures tomorrow... so tired...

Yup.
I made a white pyramid. It'll get bigger with time.
You crazy builders, when the skeletons come, you'll wish you hadn't spent all that time recreating some crazy undefendable middle finger!
I'm looking forward to the monsters, actually - I'd expect a massive team of GWJers to be a very effective zombie-killing machine. Lord knows we've been practising...
Finally got the Burning of the Hand video up. It looks crappier than I would like; I think it got munged converting to M4V for YouTube upload.
((And anyone have any suggestions for a decent video conversion suite?))
Forget BurningMan, BurningHand is where it's at.

Just make sure you're on Paleocon's team. He's the Zombie killing expert.

I just use straight ffmpeg.

Mediacoder. I've been able to covert and upload HD videos to Youtube with it, just make sure you have a high bitrate to start with.
So here's the current status of the Parhole (as Fedora likes to call it.. I'm not too fond of that name but eh).
Anyway, its 59 blocks deep (from ocean level) and 140 blocks wide at its current length going East to West.
I have to admit, its a LOT more work than I ever thought. But its awesome to have the help 
I'm not exactly sure what I'm envisioning except an area that can fit some structures and artwork that can use the full height of the working world. I would assume that's about 120 blocks total height. But my only goal for this whole place was to create a grassed floor as far as the eye can see and let people build whatever they want.
A cool full world height water slide would be cool... or a tower that fits the whole height. Or both I dont care.
But to be honest I'm not sure how much more I can put into it. It was a nice diversion but I got to head back to my own game now. I'll hop on every once in awhile and see where its at. If you guys want to keep making it that'd be great... if you want to abandon it thats fine as well ... it IS a game

I usually just refer to it as the pit.
Hey guys, I'm thinking about setting up an automated task to reset the server every day, say like 2 AM Mountain. I'll have it give a heads up notice first of course. This is so in case I miss when the server starts to bog out that people won't be stuck with a laggy server. Any comments? I'm flexible on the time. I think that would mostly impact Druid but I haven't seen him on lately.
I made a white pyramid. It'll get bigger with time.
It's bigger now.
If you want to get to it, sail down the left canal on the west exit from the spawn point. Go past the pier and under the bridge - it's a little ahead of you. If you can see an observation tower on the right and a scary looking tower on the left, you'll be in the right place.
Also I assume it'll turn up on the satellite picture tonight anyway.

Seems reasonable to me. Given that it's down and back up within a minute I wouldn't imagine that the time is important at all.
The 1st dungeon from the original Zelda game is finished. Thanks go out to CathodeRayTube and Floomi for all the help. The project took about 20 hours to complete and was a ton of work. Please, go and see it.
Entrance can be found North East of spawn.

May I get a waypoint for this please.
Here is a map to help you navigate it. Go forth, and find the Triforce!
Maybe I will work of the 1st dungeons from other classic games and add them to the area.

For my first water slide video I used fraps to record. Then using virtual dub I compressed the avi with a divx plugin I think to some ratio (4:3 maybe?) and just uploaded the AVI to youtube. Added a edited sound file I made in audacity. Quality turned out alright I think, not super great. (Shown below to give a sense of the quality)
I'll probably start making something pretty in the pit tonight.
Is there a link for the newest map?

It's in the OP, but the link below always points to the latest:

To whomever built the giant obsidian structure with lava flowing out of it on Kirby Land:
f*ck you. Just f*ck you.
I don't even care anymore you guys can do whatever you want there. Burn it down, blow up Mount Kirby, whatever.
Edit: seeing as how I just went over there and had to put out several burning trees I'd say you're already on it
Edit: ok, the f*ck you thing is a bit much, I'm just kinda annoyed.
That would be me, was it that bad? Where's Mount Kirby? The area looked deserted when I started.

Tempers run high on MILF island!

I've just asked people several times to not spawn lava there (or obsidian). Then after seeing that and the completely uncontrolled lava flow coming from the side (it looks like it spilled and you didn't try to contain it...) and some trees on fire (fire WILL jump far across trees and WILL burn down a continent) I got a bit ticked.
Don't worry about it though, it's my own fault for thinking I could keep a continent regulated.
Even for just a couple rules there's no real way for making sure everybody knows.
Just in the future, whatever you build, clean up your messes so other people don't have to do it for you.
Sorry about that, I see a post saying you want to keep Kirby Land pristine, but no indicator of where that is.
I had a lava accident which I got under control, so I thought a controlled flow would look cool. It set a couple of trees alight, but there were no others in danger that I could see after monitoring it for a while, and considering that the fire didn't spread in nearly a day I don't see the harm.
*edit*
Anyway, I blocked off my lava spawns. *I think, I will double check later once it's flowed off* And here's me thinking this is supposed to be fun.

We're hopefuly not too far from a map reset anyway. Server-side signs will help in communication, and if we really want to stake claims (of a reasonable limit of course) I can link to a map in the OP.
