With the loss of spreadable fire in 1.6 it occurred to me that this weekend may be the last chance for another legendary burning man. So, I cordially invite all MC folks and any guests who want to come partake in the fun to the Memorial Weekend Burning Man Event™.
Also, with the addition of the Nether in 1.6, I thought it appropriate to construct this bad boy in the traditional Burning Man spot in front of Parapa: I'm going to double-wall the body for extra burn time and add some TNT at the top tonight, but I was so excited (that it didn't take that long to build, mostly) I wanted to post this now. What's the best night for everyone? Let's get a consensus and make a plan for the weekend. Saturday & Sunday night are both fine by me. Even Monday, though I probably won't be drinking (well, not as much). So it goes. |

Oh my.
Almost seems a shame to destroy him! Maybe to kick off the event, we should spawn a few of his little brothers to say hello too. My vote is for Saturday night.

Just realised he's made of birch, not white wool as I first assumed. Cool.

I'm looking forward to seeing this too! Most days after 7pm are good for me. Saturday will work for me. I'm even gonna get Mrs T on here for it!

Um. Be careful when using netherrack. That is all.

We create world backups at 0600 and 1800 each day. If we need to restore that chunk, just ask. |

Counted out a spot to see if Heat Man would fit while engulfed in flame. He theoretically should, but I didn't want to start anything before confirming whether the spot I picked was okay. It is counted out with dirt near the traditional spot.

Personally I think the perfect spot would be on the beach right on the other side of the lava bridge. It's long enough, and close enough where we'd all have to just move over a few steps for another Sexy Burnination Time. I'll even build the base for it (and help with the building of Heat Man too if you'd want it). So it goes. |

(though he did zap me with lightning for making such a dumb mistake as putting netherrack below it for "effect") So it goes. |

Actually, since it seems I may miss the event, I'll utilize the same space for a second burning after this one

I know. I didn't know how quickly we'd be updating, what with all the fixes coming to 1.6 already. Sunday will work. I should have the materials to make Heat Man, and the design is simple enough to go quickly.

So, what time is best for everyone? I'd like to do it when it's dark out IRL (EST) so I can turn off all the lights. Anytime from 10:00-midnight is fine. I'll be on much later than that most likely, but midnight will probably be the latest others will want to meet up.
So it goes. |

I'll try signing on around 11 PM EDT. Around midnight sounds like as good a time as any.

Also, it bears repeating: thanks for setting up this even, 709! It was a ton of fun.

So much fun.
The TNT acted as I'd hoped, mostly. I wanted it to sound & act like fireworks with an in and out, and it did better than I expected. Super happy and still a little jazzed. Thanks again to all that came! So it goes. |

In our defense, I think we were more worried about replacing the beach; between TNT and ghast bombs, there were a lot of holes to fill in afterward. |

I put down a few torches in the pit, but not many. I didn't know that Brad was going to summon ghasts when he was handing out arrows and was suitably terrified when they appeared. We kept hearing one after they'd all been killed.
Wait. Ghast bombs? I didn't realize they were dropping bombs!! |

Okay, I appear to have mined 3 iron blocks from the pit created by Burning Ghast 2011.... to who do they belong? I'd had 4 glasses of wine last night when I showed up to the festival. I also remember going around digging a block out from under people.... starting with Robo, who I killed with my shovel. Apologies, again

No it is okay! I was sort of on drugs too.
I remember the lava pit, and the explosions, and dying, and then the ghasts, and then my connection dropped really truly I swear!! And then I asked Brad how old he was and felt REALLY REALLY BAD. And Grey said he looked like a more attractive Anderson Cooper? Anyway, it was awesome and I didn't want to miss it. Ghasts! Oh and SpecMode killed a dog so you should all not like him!!!! Just kidding no but for reals |
