Honestly, I was under the assumption that we didn't know how to turn off protection, and that as soon as we figured it out, it would be turned off. If we know how, then it's a mystery to me why it's still turned on.
The server is not in my possession, yes I can explain how to do it, but I don't have a 1 to 1 communication with ADG on a daily basis.
Honestly, I didn't know this was such a debacle that it hampered game play.
I know you're kidding, but Notch was reported to be considering an ultimate difficulty setting: "hardcore". In short, it's not bad enough that enemies can all easily kill you. It also force-deletes the entire world when you do die. Multiplayer versions would most likely have contingencies similar to what you just said. :P

It's no debacle, just a lighthearted discussion. It's true, however, that people have had issues with the spawn location before and have been wishing it to be upgraded/repaired. It wasn't general knowledge before that we can move spawn point and allow the area to be built upon until now, so we just kind of lived with it thinking there was no better alternative.
But since we now all realize we're not limited to having our spawn point stuck where the land generator decided to put it, it gives us the opportunity to put it someplace to our liking. So why not consider it? I think it would be cool to upgrade our spawn point!
Personally I would love it if it was at either ICTown or right at Grand Central. It would be a logical move, and wouldn't take much effort either way.

We talked about wanting to level out the spawn long before the server was moved from your house. It's not a big deal, just a miscommunication. I wasn't there on the first night, so when I discovered the truth about the spawn, I assumed it was something everybody saw the need for, and that if we knew how to do it it would have been turned off already. :O
It's not a debacle, but having a nice spawn would be more convenient.
It has surfaced that Thrax and ardichoke do not have town plots. Are there still any available? Do you guys not want plots? Either way I'll probably clear the East side for those 6 plots so any newcomers can join in.

There are still a couple plots on the sea-side of town, unless someone claimed them last night. If you want a hand clearing that out, I'll be on later.
I just checked. Besides the ones going in on the East side of town, there are 3 plot still unclaimed in the core of the town. There are 2 in the Southeast corner (near CB's house of Furnacs), and one right next to Cola's Whorehouse labeled "Free to a good whore".

I've seen people posting on Reddit about Notch showing up on their server. What does everyone think about adding Notch to the white list and once we get a few more big projects completed inviting him to the server?
No guarantee he will ever show up but if we don't white list him, we can guarantee that he won't.
Mr. Pragtastic, I have contributed 2.5 stacks of Reed to your house of bookshelves project.
There is a stack (or close to it) in one of the boxes at the Digi Market, also if you head down the ladder there is a box down there that has a couple stacks of books that you can help yourself to.
And if you have a sec, take a look at the north side of your tower, the road from town goes right past it, some mobs have been showing up in that area. I would like to collaborate with you on enclosing that stretch and the entrance to your tower.
Now that we have a minecart system in place, I can't wait to see this happen.
You won't be saying that when you are working down a long and dusty trail, laying track, sing "I've Been Working on a Railllllllroad" in a nice baritone, when you hear the chk-chks of wheels on a track and a subtle ssssssss growing to a SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS KABOOM
Reminder that tonight is the Great Icrontic Voyage Expedition (see official thread here for more details)! Meet right at 10pm Eastern, 7pm Pacific at the docks outside of town near Canti's place. We'll chill for a few minutes in case people need to do some last-minute grabbing of things, but don't lollygag!
Speaking of Canti, he and Basil have both offered gear for the trip. Basil's basement has some chests that can help equip us, and Canti has a ton of "pancakes" (read: grilled pork) to keep us alive and well.
I also added a visual screenshot guide to what to bring, see it here.
Good morning. Dargon317 reporting in and saying hey, lest I be a stranger around here. Thanks for the whitelist, looking forward to having some fun on your server.
Yeah, sounds good to me. Alex if you could share another .zip with us, I would love that. Especially if TonyRockyHorror could make us another map, as we all want to see the results of our epic conquest from last night.
Also, if you could please, Tony could you make it the map that has the signs visible? We made a sign for every night we camped out, and so we could find our trail easily from your map. Thank you very much in advance if you have the time to do this for us!
i'll definitely put a map up i'll have a version up with and without signs. i'll be using overviewer again, so north will be in the lower-left corner. but it will render a lot faster than tectonicus.
it'll be up late tonight. company holiday party this evening, so i won't be able to get to it until then.

I wouldn't mind having a plot...

See y'all at 10pm!
And apparently my video card drivers still need updating before I can play...although truthfully, the video card itself needs to be updated.
EDIT: Also, hello, all.
ADG, if you want to shutdown and zip things up, I can get it back working here. I do have to sort out my DNS forwarder yet.
Also, if you could please, Tony could you make it the map that has the signs visible? We made a sign for every night we camped out, and so we could find our trail easily from your map. Thank you very much in advance if you have the time to do this for us!
Edit: Actually, since nobody was on, I just stopped it.
Zipping right now. Will post the Zip as soon as it's done.
it'll be up late tonight. company holiday party this evening, so i won't be able to get to it until then.
Nice work!
