Brad? You OK out there?
[edit]: We chose to bail rather than go in without you, so maybe everyone plan for 9EDT tomorrow night? Hopefully it's just an internet or router thing that got temporarily boinked and not anything too weird. So it goes. Last edited by 709 : 2014-03-15 at 21:23. |

Damn... sorry about that. Couldn't be worse timing!
Something on my network decided to drop a deuce, and I spent the last hour and a half rebooting and reconfiguring things trying to get back to a working state. I have *no idea* what I fixed or if there are just voodoo cosmic rays at work. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

She said that we're probably still on for 9pm, is that right? I can do it tonight if BRAD DOESN'T SCREW IT UP AGAIN!!!!! ... |

That was foul!
Just, epic good fun in a foul way. Foul, as in, holy foul undies, Batman! Drew, no more pets for you! — What happens when a player becomes smitten with the creatures that inhabit the underworld and takes one home to snuggle with? Unbelievable! What great fun that was. Let's do it again, sometime! — For those who missed it, Brad spawned 6 dragons, and three of them followed Drew through a portal back to the over world. Yeah. It was one of those nights. I'll let Drew tell you all about the brand spankin' new hole he has under his house. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful.

So, yeah, that happened.
Fortunately, a backup kicked off at 20:50 *just* before we started the trip to The End. Sometime tomorrow I'll be wiping the overworld and restoring from that backup. If I can sneak online before work in the morning, I'll do it then. Otherwise, it'll be late in the evening. Regardless, I'll post here to let you guys know when it's happening. Until then, don't do anything in the main world that you don't want to lose! The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

I uploaded some shots to an IMGUR gallery but not sure how to link to single images... Link.
So. Brad made about 5 million Ender dragons for us to fight. I went and dug myself out a safe spot inside an obsidian tower with a peephole to shoot through. Enderdragons can STILL fly through them and hit you for damage but it's slightly safer than hiding under the normal "dirt" blocks from the end. After the dragons were finally beaten we were dawdling around and so Brad made some of those Wither things to fight. One of them just went to town on me and killed me, so I had to /back and try to get all my stuff. Once I had it all I was like "I'm getting out of here while I still have all my stuff" because Brad was spawning cows riding villagers and creepers riding ducks and such.... it was just crazy. So I stepped out and woke up back in the world and was getting ready to head back to base when I saw something in the sky. IT WAS AN ENDERDRAGON. "Damn you, Brad," I thought to myself. So I ran toward the water, thinking I could get away. YOU CANNOT GET AWAY FROM AN ENDERDRAGON IN THE WATER. He kept killing me, underwater. I kept typing in /back with the desperate hope of recovering my weapons and armor. I don't know HOW many times I did this. Finally, I ended up underground with the Enderdragon coming after me repeatedly. I thought that I recognized some stairs, but the space was full of water and dark and scary and I kept punching him. I PUNCHED HIM. And I PUNCHED HIM. And I PUNCHED HIM. And I PUNCHED HIM. And I PUNCHED HIM. I don't know how many times. And he DIED!!! I KILLED HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS!!!!1 I thought I was going to drown but I found a way through and into my underground home base and then back up to the surface. There was a portal to the End right there at the top in the sand. Everybody worked to patch up the roof... the staircase down was ruined. And then Grey said "Hey, there's a dragon over here....." -- there were 2 over by his amusement park. ... |

It was a gas!

"Where?" says I "By 7's tower," says Grey. "Uh, oops." "Ugh," says I, realizing I was going to have to explain to my daughter why her beautiful tower was destroyed. — Oh, by the way. I'm not gonna tell her about the backup. Not yet, anyway. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful.

Backup restored! Hopefully things are back to a reasonable state now.

Until Brad repairs the plumbing on the in-town End Portal I've installed a Nether portal that takes you right into the room with the "true" Nether portal inside the fortress due East of Brad's city.
Just head East of Nether spawn and look for the signs to The End. ... |
