Needed that laugh. I think a murder pit for traps sounds fine. We can just as easily have water channels deliver us dropped goods after the murder. The only issue I can foresee is dealing with Endermen...they can teleport out of it.

And that is why we kill them first or something.

But if the traps have water-driven channels like they do today, Endermen will be dead already because they take damage in water. This assumes they don't have different or more intelligent AI.

Hmmm...this might work out nicely, then. Depends if they would teleport out before death, I guess.

Ugh. Update from Jens' Twitter account:
Quote:
So, I have a proposal for the Overlords: • Do the meta-chunk deletion* thing and back the file up up in a nice shiny box. • When 1.8 drops lets live in the current world and use that time between 1.8 and 1.9 to do some exploring and get used to the new features (pre/post-1.8 biome weirdness and all). • Start a new world when 1.9 drops (hopefully with some sort of overlap between worlds). • Once we've settled the 1.9 world, pull the plug on the old. • Provide the pre-1.8 backup as a playground for some of us that'd like to refine and continue on some of the old structures. Is that reasonable/feasible? Ta. * The "aggressive pruning" thing is hella scary. I'd rather just know that "way over that way I could generate a new biome with wacky cliffs if I wanted to." So it goes. Last edited by 709 : 2011-09-08 at 15:10. |

So, if we do end up having to start fresh with a new world at some point, do you have the ability to generate an SMP map using a specific seed (like you can with SSP maps)? If so, maybe we could wait for a bit after the update is out until someone comes up with an awesome map seed to start out with.
Just a random thought... (I'm waiting for my next class to start, and I have nothing better to do.) |

I thought about that too. Generate a world with "applenova" and just live with it (zomg trolls!) or keep trying new seeds until spawn is someplace reasonable (ie: not in the middle of a desert/Enderman territory).
With the 1.9 seed I would like to get together with everyone and kind of discuss planning before everyone scatters to the farthest points on the map. Mostly along the lines of sand-mining territory (I think we should have a dedicated area instead of raping wherever), a cohesive skyway structure (and rails that go along with that), township (if possible built around spawn - or not if it's ugly ), personal boundaries (please don't build within x blocks from me if I'm not downtown), and a general refresh of what we all love about this game (working together and having lol-worthy adventures). So it goes. |

Indeed - and that's the thing. If biomes are twice as big* (or 4x as big if you're a pixel counter like me) the world can't help but be exponentially biggar. That's why I think we need to all do a virtual sit-down, at least for the beginning stage. Maybe further on we decide we need a SSD and the monies like we did last time. Nobody knows at this point, obviously, but I can see that bigger biomes=bigger exploration=bigger world ... which is a good reason to limit the overlap time as well.
I don't know. Just putting ideas out there. * They could be 4 or 6 or 8 or whatever times as big. There's no answers out there as far as I've found. So it goes. |

No objections -- first building should probably be a council chamber of some sort for meetings/mail. I am thinking circular.

I'd like it if the new spawn was in a forest biome, honestly. That way we could have green all-round, Brad could accidentally burn down all of the trees like in the old days, and our new city could grow naturally on a nice, large grassy plot. Or maybe a swamp biome since that seems fairly flat.
I know we've mentioned "new world, new buildings" but if it's possible to get the the 25% completed museum transported over to the new world I'd be thrilled. It was meant as a venue for everyone, and I totally believed an earlier Notch post that we wouldn't have to regen. If I thought we'd have to regen on 1.8 (and 1.9) I would've waited, honestly. It may be selfish to ask that, I know. It's not like I'm asking for any finished structures to slip through the gate. But whatever. If a majority says nay I can live with that too. So it goes. |

I suggest that we all get really drunk the first time we go into 1.8.

Oh snap, son. It's on.
Time for me to update my texture pack, though... lots of new stuff pushed in there has temporarily pushed me back to using the default textures.
