build party

Thorin · October 26, 2013, 03:22:30 AM

Today I built a road from the edge of the Grand Kingdom of Taj Moohal eastward, through the desert and into the forest: http://mc.tomasu.org/#/-1300/64/-481/-1/0/1. At the end of the road, I started clearing a new space, and laying down a couple of main roads and some alleys: http://mc.tomasu.org/#/-855/64/-535/-1/0/0.

Why, you ask? Well, I'm hoping that sometime soon we can all join up and have a build party. You know how we've done a couple of start-from-scratch events? Well, this would be the opposite - bring all that you have to the table and see what we can build with all of the stuff we have gathered over the months!

So far I have eight plots, each 36x24 blocks. As you can see, a couple of the plots have a shallow ravine running through them, which could make building ... interesting.

So, anyone interested in joining in a build party either this Sunday evening, or next week Friday or Saturday evening?

Count me in!

I'll get Fraps up and running for this if I can

Haven't heard back from anyone besides Mr. A, so maybe we should delay this until Saturday Nov 2nd evening? That'd give Lazy and Tom and Mel and others some time to read it and decide whether they can join in.

Also, I've grown the cleared area, it's now 12 lots of 24x36, in a nice grid pattern. So, time to start thinking of what to build!

I dunno. I was thinking about it. we'll see how sunday goes.

Could you give the dates/times you're thinking of in UTC?

Mr. Analog · October 27, 2013, 09:16:53 AM

Also I was thinking about setting game mode to creative to see what people can build with only space as a restriction

I'm thinking of Saturday, November 2nd, 6pm MST, which would be Sunday, November 3rd, 12am UTC: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?iso=20131102T18&p1=80&p2=0. You can use that link to see what time it would be for your timezone.

That should be good for me. It looks like I might be going out this evening for a couple/few hours. got addicted to these auctions :-x

That's 11.00 Sunday morning here, which unfortunately is half an hour after I start work. Though I can probably give myself the day off.

Man, I didn't realize just how big of an area I cleared: http://mc.tomasu.org/#/-798/64/-534/-4/0/0. Took about six hours to clear and lay the roads.

Mr. Analog · October 28, 2013, 07:34:41 PM

LennyLen · October 29, 2013, 02:49:18 AM

Hello, yes, there is actually a question being posed here

Not up to me

so I can't answer. It's up to the originator. assuming you mean you're asking if the party will be creative.. if not, then its probably if the roads were laid out in creative, which I doubt, but don't know for sure, and you'll still not get a definitive answer from me.
