OcUK Minecraft Server - Rules & Chat

My personal opinion is:

Close and not matching style of your building = bad mmkay
Close and absolutely massive, thereby dwarfing your building = bad mmkay
Building above or under your building = very bad mmkay

willhub, if the other building was there first can you cut down the size of your building one way and extend it another?

Yes, I will cut down the size.

1. so through your logic there, does that mean small buildings close to your building is ok?

2. what is close? willhub thinks 15 blocks is fine.

If a small building was nearby and not in a planned construction are I'd be fine with it personally.

Close is a relative thing, what's close to one isn't for another. How does 30 blocks sound?
 
still not impressed. its right in the middle of the sea infront of my building, easier to see than describe...

if not, can you move my building instead please? even though i have a monorail to my house. cba with the obvious trolling.
 
For verado and a few others, very funny read.

I don't know. Myself and a friend infiltrated a server earlier this year and gained the trust of all of the regulars. At first we built normal houses and other random things. All the while, there were secret installations going in all over the map. Everything we built had a secret basement, concealed below the one open for all to see. Soon a massive underground complex was created with tunnels leading to just about every house on the server. Now, how could tunnels be offensive? An annoyance, yes, but offensive? They were secret NAZI tunnels. Remember how the levels in Wolfenstein 3D look? Yeah, like that but with more Swastikas and things I don't even want to talk about. We built these tunnels and waited for someone to find them. It was almost a week of solid building before another player hit one of the tunnels while building a basement. The reactions from the server regulars were hilarious. Their nice, clean server had been riddled with Nazi tunnels. They were so extensive that the admin tried to do a rollback on the sever, but we had been digging for so long that going to back up without the tunnels would have destroyed massive amounts of work. The best part? We just acted as shocked and offended as everyone else and no one ever suspected us.

EDIT: Oh wow, I posted this before bed last night and then was at work all day. I don't have any pics sadly, but I'll see if my buddy (also a Redditor) has any.

I also figured I'd give a few more details. The complex original started as an attempt to get as close as possible to the homes of other players. We figured we could dig in from below and make additions/deletions to their homes without them realizing how it happened. After a little while we didn't find that to be a great troll. We started expanding the tunnel network to an extent that we had to place markers at intersections in order to remember where we were heading. "At the three-way intersection take the path marked with a red flower to reach 'X' building and take the path marked with two yellow flowers to reach 'Y'" That sort of thing.

To gain entrance from our basements you had to know the exact block to destroy. Dig one spot to the right or left and you'd just hit dirt. The tunnels didn't widen until further in as to prevent accidental discovery. The entrances were typically marked with either bookshelves or a certain color block in a wall mural.

This theme continued within the tunnels themselves. To gain access to the deeper sections you had to know how to escape seemingly dead-end rooms. For example, my friend made a wall into a mural of an eagle. To continue into the tunnels you had to know to dig between the 2nd and 3rd claws of the left talon.

You see, this wasn't some kind of childish "lol nazis" troll. This was a slow-burn, "let's see how much we can get going just beyond their sight" sort of thing. It took on the Nazi-theme as we continued because we had to make sure when they saw it they would instantly know it was someone purposefully screwing with them. We didn't want them to respond, "Oh look, someone put a bunch of tunnels in our sever," we wanted the "Holy **** what has happened" kind of reaction.

You see, you never know what's going on just out of sight. What your neighbors are doing when no one is around. Sometimes even what your own family really thinks. So next time your suspicious of something, just think to yourself, "Maybe I'm not paranoid, maybe there are nazi tunnels."

Played the single player "classic" last night, loved it! Quickly built a multi floor minimalistic apartment :)

However, after reading this thread I don't think I'll be shelling put for the full thing. Sounds like I may as well go and have a dump in my neighbours back garden and cut down some of his shrubs. This seems to be the reaction this game gives people.

Home being your castle mentality I guess.
 
well on the old server we group built a 2.5x scale Parthenon, made our own glass domed eden style project in a group of valleys with rivers and waterfalls), and when i mentioned " that mountain kinda blocks the view from my window 7 people turned up and we cut the mountain down and replaced it with a nice decorative bridge :D

You get a few people whine once in a while but that's it.


Have a read of the old thread.
 
As a reaction to the minecart system:
Shr00ms idea, make 1 station in spawn with redore switches to set destination sounds like a good idea. still we got some little problems.
Looping system wont work because there will be the laoding problem, so we might need a push to launch system (door booster?)
this system is also one way i guess? only away from spawn, as coming back to spawn/going from one station to another requires a lot of tracks.

my idea: make one big spider system, central station leading to substations) (single lines can hold multiple substations) and small looping tracks between substations and destination. every1 would need to bring their own cart.
so you would start at spawn, slect your substation, put your cart on the track and push a button to launch. the cart would go in the direction of you substation, stopping for short period at every substation on the line.

also i could help wiring the buttons and building compact boosters. or will minecart mania be installed soon?

give me some idea's / problems so we can work this out :D

dragon, I thought that was always the plan? We have 4 main routes. North, South, East and West. Along those routes you hit 4 major sub-stations.

Each small community builds their own substation and connects it to the nearest major sub-station.

Rad and I already have our own station built and the main line connected. (Eastern one I think).]

If the server expands, we expand the main routes and add additional major substations.

Those were the days! I didn't think we had any arguments only some confusion over burnt down houses. Even when someone burnt down my house (by accident) I wasn't fussed as we had so many community projects going on.

As mentioned don't be afraid to join the server etc as it's only a few people bicker for a good cause as we are getting new rules verified then if people continue to keep fighting over meaningless things without consideration for the rest of the community they might be removed from the server :p
 
Hopefully we can get somone people i non the dwarf city.

Also needs a name "the dwarf place" is silly :p

The entrance hall needs cutting and then designing/building.


Thinking of something like the hall of heroes from Dragon age.

need some better pics of it :p
 
Should look good once completed Tefal.

Fabien, just a suggestion regarding the site. Could we get a donation button on there, will make it easier for users such as myself to donate toward server costs.
 
need a crap load of sand though, once the entrance hall is done. (might need some obsidian for it too)


then once it's done and the tnt all made will be blasting this cavern :D
