It's a combination of the old-world BP design with the addition of stone brick. Since stone brick is cheap, I'd propose some thing similar in design. Also, we need to come to a consensus on how rails will be built, or if we even need them with the Bukkit plugins.
Agreed!

After going totally legit for a long time in LG, I'd be happy to loosen the reins and drop rarities into Community Exchange 3.0.

I was actually thinking we should kick off another fund drive. Turtle needs an SSD so I can't stop sweating over maxing out the RAM-based tmpfs volume. When we hit 98%, that left just 16 MB to spare. Another metachunk and we'd have been in real trouble!

114 bucks would get a very highly-rated Crucial 64 GB SSD. We'd never use up that much space in the world, meaning RAM and CPU would be our next bottleneck, neither of which are a serious concern at the moment. Moving the world to an SSD would free up another 300 MB of RAM for the game.

Agreed! Find yo' kids! Find yo' wife! More cooks in the kitchen!
