I don't care aboot my portal, but I'm sure it'll pop up again in the same place if I ever locate the portal connecting to it in the nether LOL.

My portal does have a bunch of chests and stuff around it with material for my pigmen gridner project. If you want me to move them I'll do so.

[Professor Beef]

I think I'm going to move my stuff just in case. I forget where I am on the map, but it's just my home, so I don't mind packing up.

[NihonTiger90]

It sure will, but that's okay, it will pop out into new 1.3 land generation when you come out of the nether. It might even be over actual land this time! I was thinking, once the server is trimmed and re-uploaded we should pick a direction and start a new community project out beyond the trim line. Preferably out along the end of one of Dome City's rail lines, like maybe out past Roche Oasis or even out past Neolantis. Some kind of a community town again with a huge community mine for emeralds and other ores. Something like a Tower City, or a hobbit hole town set in hills and valeys like the Shire or something. Or even another underground city like Moria on the old server. Or we could find a large ravine and make dwellings in the ravine sides with wooden bridges crossing it. Maybe even call it Emerald City, lol.

We need something witty, almost Pokemon-esque for the town name. Let's formulate something when we build the town :)


Also, as a note, I'm interested in adding a village at the foothills of my fortress, and I'd like to invite you guys all to help build it, if you're interested. I'll have more details in the future because this is only in the preliminary planning stages, but I could sure use a few extra hands and minds. :)


Of course, if we do this new idea from Mengy or Neo-Arkyoto, this will be delayed a bit.

You only have three hours left to do so ;-) Anything done after midnight will be lost I am afraid.

But I'm in PST!!

PST ? is that a posh version of PMT ? :-p Us civilised folk use the true British blue GMT. The world would be a much better place if everyone used GMT.

If you lose anything I will provide "adequate" compensation. How does 3 wooden axes sound to you ?

"WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!"

[CrAzYLeGzLU]

Yeah if you guys have something really small maybe try to secure some of the items.

Because the way I have to work around MCedit I open the most recent map on my second monitor and use that for a guide on what to trim. I zoom in all the way and scan before I cut but some stuff is pretty small.

At the very least try and keep this island. :)

Ok peeps there is 26 mins left for you to reach minimum safe distance. The backup will start in 26mins anything that happens on the server after that will "never have happened" when the map returns. So if you want to get inappropriate with a sheep then you only have 26 mins to wait.

Wait, I'm gonna log on right now. What's the code to get to the main area that's going to be salvaged?

[Ranger X]

Oh, the server is being trimmed?

Any major construtions that will be lost?
My place is near the Arks...

Nothing major will be lost. This is the proposed trim.

[CharmingCharlie]

OK the server map has been backed up so whatever you do on the server for the next 24 hours will never have happened when the trimmed map returns. So basically go nuts gentlemen but try and save the good stuff till tomorrow so I can video it.

I will be back on in minecraft tomorrow at 1pm (13 hours from this post) to dish out tnt to anyone that wants it (and citizens will have TNT rights and hell I might even put peeps in creative mode if I am in a good mood)

You only need to worry if your buildings are right on the edge of the existing map. The bulk of Neocraft is remaining untouched (central area). It's just the spider tendrils and some of the outlying areas that are being trimmed by Crazylegzlu. He will of course do his best to ensure no major buildings are trimmed but it is a fine line.

At the end of the day we will all benefit from this, with a smaller map (should be half the file size when Crazy is finished) and we get new chunks generated with all the 1.3.1 goodness. So it is worth a lil bit of sacrifice I think. Unless you all want to go with a full world reset cos we could still do that if you want ;-)

[-Minsc-]

There, err, has been and incident on Neocraft.

[kennah]

Pics!

No worries. You shall have the honors.

[Professor Beef]

I mentioned it in the server, but I'm going to be working on an underwater home once things are back to normal.

[NihonTiger90]

I will be recording as well tonight and tomorrow along with Charlie, except from my perspective. I wish you luck, gentlemen.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go change my Minecraft skin in preparation.

[JJDinomite]

So who do I have to PM to get whitelisted on the NeoGAF server?

[NihonTiger90]

Is creative mode enabled or do the lot of you just have that much TNT?

[NihonTiger90]

Gentlemen.

[NihonTiger90]

I'm a bit drunk and feeling bored. And since we're going to be doing some destruction today, I thought I'd start things off with a bang.

Target acquired.

Sidenote: By the way, will our inventories revert to what they were when the map was backed up? Or are we stuck with whatever's left after the mayhem?

Your inventory should revert since the player files are saved with the world files.

[celebi23]

I finally started playing again and somehow managed to get 2 music discs in the span of 30 minutes :D Combination of sheer luck (and maybe a little planning) and a full set of iron armor :D I might hop onto the server again sometime.

[spuit*11]

[Swift]

hey guys just thought i would introduce myself as i hope to be seeing you on the server, cant wait to see the carnage from today. :)

[Xun]

It is ready.

[-Minsc-]

Before I went to bed I set off a 2x2 column of TNT down to bedrock.

Then:



Now:

[CharmingCharlie]

Good afternoon fellow Demons of Destruction, yes it is :-



All day today, we are going to blow the crap out of everything. Last night was a good taster for what is about to come. We learnt some valuable lessons last night. Lessons such as "don't pack a statue with TNT if said statue has redstone torches in" and "it isn't wise to cover a Harvester in TNT if it is full of redstone circuits" :-D

Hopefully today will see the complete and utter destruction of Dome City. Then there is Mengy's Fortress it is looking extremely petulant standing there all erect defiling the sky line. Lets see how petulant it is when we wrap a few thousand blocks of TNT around it :-D . Then of course there is Xun's Disney castle, we will probably never see it finished so we might as well enjoy seeing it nuked.

The Demon Demo Crew last night :-



The Harvester used to be here ........... honest it really was :-



I just have one or two bits n bobs to do here and I will be online in about 20 mins and will be online all day till midnight tonight. So lets have some fun and "blow shit up". Oh for those that were not around to see Pioneer town get a very very very appropriate send off, here is the video (with appropriate music) :-

[-Minsc-]

Um, yeah. Tell me when it's safe to log back in.

Edit:

*sniff*

Minecraft keeps crashing when I log in to neocraft.

[spuit*11]

Very nice video, looking forward to the see the stuff we did today.

[CharmingCharlie]

A picture says a thousand words which just happens to be how many words our server provider will be using to tell us off :-

[Ranger X]

Do they charge something for ridiculous peaks like that? lol

[CharmingCharlie]

Whoops a daisy someone "accidentalled" Dome City :-



Not to worry still several more domes to go yet.

[-Minsc-]

When we're done charlie, load in the wold backup so we can blow it all up again. :p

[legacyzero]

BAHAHAHA!

[CrAzYLeGzLU]

Dammit I napped too long and I'm missing all the fun! :-(

[ZZMitch]

Why are we blowing everything up? Did I miss something? :p

[CharmingCharlie]

Dammit I napped too long and I'm missing all the fun! :-(

We are saving the Echo dome for ya ;-) I am taking a lil break at the moment have to make myself some tea. I am hoping to be back on again at about 8-8:30pm (bout 2 hours from now).

Why are we blowing everything up? Did I miss something? :p

It's anarchy, we are revolting (seriously we are pretty revolting if you ask me). Nah the map needed trimming so whilst that is going on we can't build. So might as well have some fun and blow shit up. It will all be as if "nothing ever happened" come tomorrow night (or maybe Monday).

[CrAzYLeGzLU]

Here's a few pics of the fixed up spawn point. I didn't do anything too drastic I just wanted to tidy the place up and make it look less fragmented and more organized.

The building by the rails is the New Ranger Outpost which replaces the smaller one that was off to the side, and houses beds and supplies for new players.

Don't worry about spawn Crazy, we fixed that up real good. ;)
