Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII

[Zain]

Mine, I fought off the attack earlier today.

[Togath]

Should I pursue combat?

I now realise nothing was there, it was all in our heads

[mario65889]

I never posted that. Now we are just going insane. They are coming for us.

[Sen isSaqqara]

Sorry, me? I don't remember any such event. No, seriously, what are you talking about? Are you referring to the person who was standing in the sky above the last major battle?

Also, could we get a map, Domo?

[mario65889]

Look at what they are doing to our heads!

[Domochevsky]

You gotta refer to your Recon Officer for that.

In other news: The Nicolette has left harbour and is on course towards the alien landing site to provide support.

The Warship ended up being named Samantha, Nicolette is a other project involving Tesla coils that I'm still working on

EDIT TO ADD:
Just checked, it seems that the tin has turned to copper, and all the personal safes have been wiped. that adds up to 78 TNT, 64 sticky grenades, 6 stacks of arrows, and 6 dispensers.

[3SecondCultist]

Here is the map in its most recent incarnation. My scouts have been particularly thorough in documenting the recent exploration attempts, especially those of our Brigadier-General.

Goddammit... looks like the oceans and transportation waves are treacherous for non-native blocks. (On the plus side, pistons rotate properly.)

[Zain]

Yeah it's odd, so I think I'll replace the personal safes with chests for the Ammo, but if we could get the replaced that would be great (that was out entire arsenal)

[Domochevsky]

Yeah, i put the replacement stuff in the front chest of the ship, where the water buckets are.

Well, I'm glad that camp Copper Hills is invisible from above. The nearby Training Island, however, is quite visible. Oh well.

Two questions: One, where's the dome? And two, you do realize what it looks like to those with a sufficiently dirty mind?

[Sen isSaqqara]

Oh come on, that's a bit of a stretch.

[3SecondCultist]

Oh come on, that's a bit of a stretch.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that was what you told me it would look like before you went exploring. So, intentional or not, you yourself did recognize the eventual shape of the map you were helping to create.

[Landis963]

Oh come on, that's a bit of a stretch.

I'm not saying it was intentional, it's just funny. However, if you put the Dome in somewhere in the long, thin section, then explore out from there, the problem will resolve itself. Or make it worse, it depends on the position of the Dome. Location, location, location.

EDIT: Besides, saying "sufficiently dirty mind" is somewhat like saying "sufficiently advanced technology".

Well said. I suppose we just have to explore a bit.

[Crossblade]

Iskandar needs to make a video of this RP'ing happening.

And what mods need to be put in to play on the server? I have my new computer and would like to join when not hosting on my computer with my friends.

[Zain]

Their linked in the first post, but it's industrial craft 1.43 and buildcraft 2.2.11, as well as Modloader, Modloader Mp and MCforge

Rei's Minimap (the most recent version) is also required. It is allowed client-side, and extraordinarily useful.

It's not required per se, but is increasing useful.

Research on the subject of enchantments

Since the attacks seem to have receded since we captured their spacecraft I will take this opportunity to prepare a report on another odd feature that has welcomed us on this strange new world. Creepers, zombies, skeletons and such seem to drop green orbs when they are destroyed similar to in the land we left, but we now seem capable of keeping a repository of these orbs.

I recently sought out a village of the natives here to inquire about this phenomena among other things. Perhaps due to their belief that I was an invincible robot from the future (another good use for quantum armor) they were very quick to answer my questions. They informed me that there were mages of old on this world who could craft those orbs into powerful enchantments using spellbooks and a unique item known as an enchanting table.

They said the mages created the stronghold where the end portal is located at the height of their power. They opened the portal believing it would lead them to an infinite power source, but instead loosed the dragon and endermen on this world. They gave their lives to trap the dragon back in the end, and the people buried the stronghold to prevent the portal from ever being reopened.

I studied the books remaining in the stronghold and discovered how to create one of these enchanting tables. I have been able to enchant several items including some of our technology. Enchantment could be useful for us in our battle against the invading forces and in our building projects as well.

the first time i posted this it got eaten by the data backup; I got creepered in the building above the teleport hall while running through it to get to the spot I died in(had three creepers go off there, the spot I died at[and where now there is a deep crater] is near the rail-line leading to spawn), as I was trying to get my inventory back before it decayed I didn't have time to repair the hole, in addidtion soon after I did get my items back the server crashed twice so I was unable to repair the hole I left

(sorry for any typoes, I typed this on my laptop's keyboard)

Wow. I can't believe your character would do something so moronic... oh wait! Yes I can! The next time my character sees yours on the server, he will hunt him down mercilessly and gut him with his Nano-Saber.

EDIT: Okay, so it wasn't as bad as all that. I am fixing it, and placing doors for additional security. In the future, please do not let creepers follow inside though, okay?

[Togath]

np, I'm sorry for having caused damage, I was also thinking about lighting up the forest near that track in order to lower the chances of a creeper hitting that track(the one that got inside jumped onto the rail line from the hill)

A Report upon the the continuing Fortification of spawn:

We have the following forces and hardware at spawn.
A Scorpion Class AAA battery (3 mark one AAA mortars)
The Delilah, a Repentance class Airship.
Spawn gun, upgraded to a Dominator Class

In addition, the egg has been covered in a protective layer of Reinforced Glass.

The Samantha is deployed on guard duty at the fortress, and will not be able to participate in any upcoming combat at spawn.

[Sen isSaqqara]

I will be taking a leave of absence, most likely for not more than three days, but potentially for as long as a month. I hope to return soon, but should I find myself unable, I wish you all luck.

[Domochevsky]

Due to recent events command has noted a higher need for redstone than usual, causing our stored resources to drop dramatically. Therefore we are officially putting out a request to our colonists (and especially Recon) to prospect for redstone ore veins. We will be trading it in for Uranium, Lapis or Iron, depending on need.

- Major Domo

[Sen isSaqqara]

The largely independent Xeno Resource Extraction Company has, as of yet, located no such redstone veins anywhere in the world as we know it.

[Destro_Yersul]

I may as well say it here. I won't be assissting directly with the alien invasion thing, but I have a good reason. Namely, Domo has been kind enough to put me in Creative mode so that my general lack of free time for gathering might not impede my ability to build cool stuff.

So yes, I'll be on the server, building cool things. I've also worked out a way that I may indirectly contribute, with Domo's approval. More details to come later, once I've had some time to set everything up.
