new player: Aethun

[Thorin]

Spent the morning hanging out with a guy from Sweden, named Aethun.  Gave him some stuff to help him get started, showed him around a bit on the server (Mr. A, nice 3x3 door!  I finally went and looked at it!), showed him where the railroads are, and I think I convinced him to set up shop down south somewhere.  He said he's gonna use Frontier Hotel as a base of operations until he's got his own place

So now we have Canadians, Australians, and Swedes (that I know of, I wonder if there are any other countries represented?)

[Tom]

German/Austirans, Americans,  though I'm not sure how often allefant and sevalecan get on the main server anymore.

[Thorin]

So whose friend is Aethun?   Since everyone on this server seems to be either related or friends of existing players...

[Tom]

I actually have no idea.

[LennyLen]

There are no Australians on the server.

[Mr. Analog]

That's cool! seems like this server is gaining population :-D

I may know who it is, I know a couple people from Sweden

Hello!

I'm from the allegro forums, where I go under arvidsson.

I intend to build a medieval inn at around (-31,1650), unless the land is claimed by someone already. The plan is to later on expand into a smaller medieval village with a blacksmith, windmill, watchtower, etc. I have been looking around for interesting designs, but I haven't exactly found what I'm looking for, so I'm experimenting a lot in single-player creative mode to get a realistic, cozy feeling to the inn. Hopefully it will become a great little vacation spot for when you all are tired of building stuff

[Mr. Analog]

Welcome!

Do you mean this area: http://mc.tomasu.org/#/-31/64/1650/-2/0/0 ? If so I don't think anyone is building there, can't wait to see what you come up with.

[aethun]

Yes, that's the spot! I've started clearing out the area from trees, and found a huge chasm underground. The overhang and surrounding hills could make for some interesting locations for buildings. I if get going long enough I will expand the village to cover a lot of the area south of the river. Thankfully, I won't be creating gigantic structures.

Any ideas for a nice medieval village name? Or, maybe I should complete the inn first, but it will require a name too

That is a fantastic spot!

I'll leave the naming to you of course but a cool Minecraft-y name is always required for an inn: The Hissing Creeper or something

That's not bad.

The wandering zombie?

[Mr. Analog]

Haha, I like that, The Wandering Pig hah

Welcome!

The closest neighbours to where you plan to build would be DerekVPierce (http://mc.tomasu.org/#/-139/64/1068/-1/0/0) and iLLian1of7 (http://mc.tomasu.org/#/1038/64/2136/-2/0/0), neither of which are anywhere close to you.  There's a portal near there that someone made long ago, and a tiny little farm field that I built to get wheat to lure cows back to my place (took forever!).

I like The Wandering Pig for an inn name.  Medieval village names?  There's all kinds of choices for that...  Aeversham?

[aethun]

The Wandering Pig it is!

[Melbosa]

Yeah that portal there was mine... was going to build up a new location there... but then I found my West of Spawn location and started building there instead.
