ps: always looking for more cool pictures.



We'll have to see whether we've got anything picture-worthy...

The Testificate Industrial Trading Syndicate (TITS) is pleased to announce that we are in the process of opening a new trade route into Old Spawn!

We have sent our premiere trading ship, the graceful Fiona Belle, to initiate commerce.

With a crew of farmers, the Fiona Belle's complement of master traders includes tool-, weapon-, and armorsmiths, as well as priests and scholars.  We have been sailing for many moons and are exited to present this economic opportunity that will bring both you and us much profit!

The Fiona Belle has been configured and appointed for the most distinguished of customers, so look to the skies and await our arrival!

Under the heading of lazy doofuses' problems...

It would be helpful for doofuses like me - and more especially for folks new to the server - if our links to both the Dynmap and Discord were stickied at the top of this section.  Perhaps with a subject like, "Useful Links".

I know (I): we can have browser bookmarks for the Dynmap and Discord.  And I do.  But sometimes - such as just now - my brain blocks against using my browser's bookmarks.  I blame the tin foil hat.  It's been fitting a bit tight, lately.  It's quite stylish though, so I am loathe to remove it.

I know (II): there is a splash screen now, giving nice big obvious clickies to both of them.  But most often my browser skips that page and puts me right in the forum page here - and from here, there is no link back to the splash screen.

This is not a big problem, by any stretch - but I think it would be a super easy fix.
Could we please have the Dynmap and Discord info stickied at the top of this forum area?

New drive ordered!  Thank you for those who donated!

As for how things are going to go down....



Thank you for the detective work, the quick action, and the preemptive explanation!   :)

Hey all,

Fish got me a message, letting me know my iron farm was causing a problem by lagging the server.  Attracting too many zombies that would not despawn while someone afk's at it.  I am still relatively new to playing in a MP Minecraft environment, and not fully versed in all the things that cause significant server lag.  If I had realized my iron farm was causing a problem, I would have corrected it long before this!

I came home between appointments to log Fronk out, and I have let him know what's going on.  Neither he nor I will be afk'ing there until I can more properly mob-proof the area.  I will check in with folks more MP-experienced than myself before opening my iron farm back up for afk'ing.

Very sorry for the trouble, everyone!   :-[

With a bed!?



Fronk is, IRL, one of the three Inscrutable Masters of the brutal art of Bed Fu.
I did not know this when I applied for the room.  I learned it when I came home from work one night and found Fronk beating a burglar near to death with his bed.
Truly a terrifying sight to behold.


With him for a housemate, though, I'm fairly confident we're not going to get robbed.  So that's a plus!

Hey all!

I have found a more efficient way to produce wood.
Less time, less effort.
This means better pricing for you!

New prices on wood:

Oak =         1d/stack
Spruce =     2d/stack
Dark Oak =  4d/stack
Birch =        2d/stack
Jungle =      3d/stack
Acacia =      5d/stack

As ever, I believe in offering help for someone in need.  (For example, someone new to the server.)  If you can afford to purchase from the stalls, please do.  But if you can't: any wood in the Information chest is offered for free.

Cheers!

Howdy all!


So, King_Ozy and I have been nurturing our growing tradition of putting our noggins together and germinating grandiose, life threatening ideas.  (Plus, I appear to be trying to win an imaginary bet concerning how awkward and pretentious I can make my communique's.  Lucky you.)


One notion we are toying dangerously with is that of building a hall at Spawn, filled with villagers for trading.  What makes the idea dangerous, you didn't ask?  -Apologies, but some mysteries are better left unrevealed for funtime discovery.  However, the testificates will testify (because I'm threatening them with digital agony-) that the idea is, indeed, laden with the kind of danger ordinarily mentioned only in certain sections of the Christian bible.  Well... and Hollywood films.  Aaaand, maybe huge sections of the library.  And maybe my diary.  But I'm totally too macho to be keeping a diary, so ignore that last part.  (Please?)


So, the notion of a villager trading hall at Spawn...
-->  Bunches of villagers for to be trading with.
-->  No auto farms.
-->  Perhaps a crop blaster or two for food-like plant thingies with which to wheedle emeralds out of the grasping fingers of the greedy greedy, one-percenter, rich-as-duck farmers.  (I have a daughter and I want to avoid cursing, okay?  Don't fuckin' judge me.)  Y'all would  need to bring y'all's own bone meal for the crop blasters, but there are a number of public-use bone farms around.  ...y'all.
-->  No auto farms.
-->  Just villagers, and one or two at-keyboard machines.
-->  Maybe a polar bear.  ('cause what's better'n a fricken' POLAR BEAR??!?)


See, our idea is to put a good & useful pastle of profitable people at Spawn, but without instigating Lagageddon every time somebody visits and loads in the chunk.


And... y'know... maybe some entertaining nihilistic danger, too.  (Have you ever seen a villager sweat bullets?  It's glorious.)


So, we wish to put the idea out there for review...
Would you welcome such a thing?
