Ok kiddies, finally got off my arse and sorted out the dynamic IP situation. You can now connect at anytime at - osgminecraft.dyndns.org

I have an updater running that will keep that domain up to speed, so short of my computer actually fully crashing and not coming back up, you should always be able too hook back in.

Yeah, big problems. Seems the first time ever, my computer has had some sort of blue screen and reboot. Server came back up, but the world is corrupted. Trying to fix it now.

I took a manual backup on the 19th when I last had the server down for a cleanup. Some of you guys got stuck in since then though.

Give me a little while with this thing. I don't think it's completely unfixable (I hope...)

Bugger, i think I did my entire castle over the weekend.......


Though, if we had to start with everyone I don't think it would be too much of a biggie, I think everything would be a lot more streamlined this time round, and give the people just joining in (Looks at blue) a fair shot. :P

The more I look into it, the more it appears that it actually was the Minecraft server that shat itself and caused the crash. It looks like this might not actually be a corruption of the kind I originally thought. We may have just fallen victim to the mighty "beta".

Becoming less optimistic now. Too many files to play with and a quick search found the exact errors I'm getting have plagued Minecraft in the past. Also found that the "save" is actually a lie and the way I did it is actually the only effective backup. And here I was planning on getting another one tonight or tomorrow. I was planning on scripting it to take auto backups each day, but shit I hate windows scripting. I'd have it done in two minutes if I had this running on a linux server....

While I keep working on this, I'll throw it out there...

Who wants to restart?
Before we do so, does anyone want to throw in some "rules"?
Any other suggestions?

What do you mean by rules?

Like necris in only allowed to mine dirt?

If we do restart maybe we can do it all together so we can decide if we like the world rolled?

I'm fine with restarting, either way I'm going to be rebuilding my castle from scratch.

By rules I think hiss might be referring to the small bout Blitz and I had last night. Blitz decided to make a monument of/for/to honor himself, but he decided to make it right next to where I had built my castle, and it completely overshadowed my castle, and I got a tad (OK maybe a little more than tad) annoyed with his placement of such a monument, as he took a lot of the room I was planning on expanding to, and then instead of people seeing my awesome castle in the distance, all they could see was blitz's monument....

Honestly I don't think that there are that many rules needed, as all that is really needed is common courtesy and everyone basically had that.

But saying that I think that other than the main haven at the spawn there should be no other peoples towers/castles/houses etc etc near the haven, so it opens the world up a bit more, and allows for everyone to get a space nearby where they can uild/expand etc and if desired everyone has their own personal space so to speak. And maybe we could all start working on the main haven being something like a 1:1 ratio of castle greyskull or somin. That allows everybody to have their own area but also able to work on one main big project.

But I'm just monologging of course.

Sounds to me like Necris broke mine craft coz he was pissy with blitz. :P

As blitz has found out i like to mark areas of future expansion. Its a tricky problem really, i think if you build anything too close to some one else stuff you got to keep in mind that they might want it moved. That being said there is only so much space and we have to be tolerant of each other. We cant expect people to have to travel 4 day cycles just to find somewhere to build.

Maybe we can write any important building plans in this thread. My idea was that when we started a world we would all baggs an island.

Id kind of like us to make a town, like i kinda started. I was hoping people would join it.

Maybe we could start by building a common area then go off on out own and pool our iron to build a train lines to connect them?

The little spack last night was funny to read, but it wasn't entirely why I bought it up. I know Wolf was staking claims in his own way and he was doing the town thing, Necris got the veggie patch going, we had the haven as a safe starting point.

I probably wouldn't mind building my Castle Grayskull away from our central haven this time. I think we need to find a nice balance between a group effort and enough room for our own creativity.

What if the haven just stays a hole in the hill for a while until we build Wolf's town? We can build a little central area together, have our own castles in the surrounding areas, and then link them all together?

Then after all that is done, we can all group up and do a 1:1 ratio build of something in a big group.

For the new world Wolfman. We can slowly build a small metropolis near the spawn as a central project. Just a thought.
