Escapecraft

Okay, due to the amount of new residents and potential workers, i think we need a new project for those of you that don't want to work on just resource gathering

Not everyone is as into outdoors as i am.

The new project would be a volcano in the crater where blackie helped us demo a house. Anyone that would like to commandeer this project can. I would like it to be complete with nether rack, slowsand, gravel, and lots of obsidian.
If we can, eventually we would have a couple houses within this volcano, complete with lava and glass floors or ceilings and obsidian. This would be fairly spectacular.

I would guess that black adder might enjoy this project ;P
Lava is a big thing, so this means that we will need a deep tunnel to lava level in the mine.

Anyone want to take up the charge?

*Dead*

I killed it, vallorn, and have realized my stupidity in its creation.


...this will not be mentioned again...

o.O that was a typo... it was supposed to be "i killed IT, vallorn..."

not "i killed vallorn..."

If I may be bold enough as to provide my own measly level of input, I represent certain interested parties, parties that would be willing to reward sir with a very generous pecuniary gain if sir were to actually carry out the stipulated actions made evident in what sir called a "spelling mistake", afterwards retracting that admission of error as though it had never occurred.

I can assure sir that the level of financial gain far exceeds the problems faced in the undertaking of such a task, and also that my employers are very much inclined to make it worth sir's while.

...NIET

Though I will not take pains to correct sir's grievous misspelling of "Nyet", I shall retract my offer, making clear the disappointment my employers will feel pertaining to the reluctance of sir to come to terms with the offer given.

I must also make it quite clear to sir that he ought to look out for the safety of his person in the immediate future.

... Oh goodness.

I mean, thanks for not murdering my brother Tanis, if you need someone to watch your back without directly aligning themselves to you (out of fear for their safety), I'm your gal.

(And if Jeeves's master really want that action to be undertaken, may I add that Vallorn and I are siblings, and as such I alternately dote on him and despise him.)

Chimps, that is from back when minecraft didn't have multiplayer servers.
LOL
you can still look for it though if you want to, maybe someone replicated it on a server for ALY.

a friend forwarded that to me after a request for design ideas.

Chimps? Haha. Easy there.

Thanks Aquapunk... I think?

Chimps, it just seemed appropriate for the comment you left on this post, which felt somewhat demeaning to our efforts.

Aquapunk, i know that you helped out with leaves, would you like to be a resident here?
We could certainly use your skills.

Vallorn....
That really was a misunderstanding.
I don't kill anyone.
I don't plan to kill anyone.
I especially don't plan to kill you...Master of the Vault.

BTW: we could offer you a resident here as well, as reconsolation for my past errors.
Your mining abilities are especially needed in our fledgeling mining project!

I could help out in the mines, I'm not too much use anywhere else.

i would proundly carry on the volcano project, just show me where to build it and tell me how big it has to be.

id be happy too. if your slaves workers can follow StripMine Plans then you can pillage the earth of resources with the minimum of effort. then if you want caves you just blow the Stripmine Tunnels and make larger caves. (thanks to Beard for teaching me how to Stripmine! )

Arithel, welcome to our community! I will happily guide you to our mines, the next time I am online, which should be tomorrow evening.

Vallorn, i give you command of mining operations. If you would like to start with a strip mine, that is fine, but i would like it if you would turn it into a gigantic cavern afterward. Also, I would like to start production of cauldron enabled lightstone for theatrical lighting of the cavern, which as i mentioned earlier i would like to turn into an underground forest. (only after the area has been strip mined of course...)

Viatic, the volcano should be about 40-50 blocks high, and about 30-40 around, unevenly. Its going to be in the crater area that Blackie left us . You can take over this project, while we finish up branches.

Hmmmm... It would be cool if we could make this area into a wild and abrupt environment area, with a lake, a cave system, a forest, volcano, etc... Just saying, for long run, that would be awesome!

I'd love to be a resident.
The Volcano sounds very interesting as well- though as a warning, i think Vallorn is in training to be the next Blackadder

Aqua Punk, you are most welcome to come and live with us! What operation would you like to be a part of?
We do need more branch makers and more logs...

But you do raise a valid point: Vallorn, can i have your word that your destructive efforts, lava especially will stay at least 100 blocks away from the tree please?

Also, if you want to use lava lighting in the mine, that would be great! We could really use some more lava out here, so i will put that into the needed resources list.

My B-Day today!

you need more lava? Vault 88 would be happy to sell you inventory after inventory of Buckets full of the beutilfull glowing awesome... where was i... oh yes, Lava.

and i dont tend to use Lava in the mines... gets a wee bit warm for my liking.

and for those who do not know how to Stripmine heres a quick guide:

first make a long corridor, preferably 3*3.

then make a series of 2 high 1 wide 1 deep cuts into the walls at regular intervals of 2 blocks between them.

mine into each incision in turn while mining into either side by 2 every 8 spaces and placing torches within the alcove (this reduces the need for extra torches by lighting both tunnels with 1)

if you see any ore mine into the seam but please patch it up afterwards this reduces accidents.

if you encounter a Cave or Lava Pool then seal the end of the tunnel and place 1 Dirt Block over the top of the entrance from the main corridor.

PROTIP: place a dirt block at the bottom of the tunnel entrance to prevent Mob infestations and show that its still active. (not the initial corridor, the mine tunnels)

keep the mine tunnels 2 hich 1 wide unless you hit a seam or wish to make a mini workshop to collect and process materials within the mine.

Happy Birthday! Have a good one!

Thanks Duplicate!

Vallon, i was thinking more along the side of flowing lava behind glass, streaming down the sides of our current cavern. You should really check out the cavern we have already. It is somewhat awe-spiring!

we have an entire floor of Lava under Glass in V88... effective lighting but Griefers love it...

I hope to eliminate greifing in this remote portion of the world. it would be the walls that have lava behind them.

Viatic, when can we expect construction of the volcano to begin?
Vallorn, I would like to see you out here ASAP!

Also, new people, i put up maps! The captions should make finding this place a lot easier!

Derp, vallorn i read your other posts, good luck with the dungeon! take your time!

The 'Edit Post' button is there for a reason...

For your information, last time I did that... well, just see the vallorness that resulted ABOVE


If you would like to post on this topic, please keep it related to the TOPIC, not my posting errors WHich are many i will admit

Okay, work on the forest has begun. Tree planting and bonemeal use approved, as far and wide as possible!

Rules:
Use torches under the trees
Make it easy to walk around, trim the trees to at least 2 high

Thanks!
Viatic, if you would like to postphone the volcano, i was getting a little bit ahead of myself. We can go ahead and work on this forest more instead if you like
