Weekend Adventure.

[Mr. Analog]

There's a bunch of leather...  Have you been killing cows?

I guess there was a cowpocalypse

Or stuff found in abandoned mine chests

[Tom]

Yeah, I ran out of baked potatoes and started using my Fire Aspect sword on some cows. Insta steak. I should rename it "SteakMaker" or something

[Mr. Analog]

Hah! I have one of those, I labelled it the "Shishkebab" after the Fallout weapon

Actually I wonder where I stored it now... hmm

[Thorin]

You know you can just /home, get more food, and then /back, right?  There's few enough frickin' animals on our map as it is now.  Hell, even the Taj Moo Hal, which had 50+ cows when we first built it, went down to, like, 5 cows.  Then I went and bred a whole bunch, got over 80, now it's probably back down to 10.  I don't understand why they keep going missing.

[Mr. Analog]

I think the game must despawn mobs if they get over a certain count.

[Tom]

I really didn't want to mess up my /back location in case I needed it.

The whole excursion was to go on an adventure, and if theres 100 cows out there in the wilderness, I don't think killing a few cows hurts much

And yeah I'm pretty sure mobs despawn and/or glitch out eventually.

[Thorin]

Hey, I like that idea of setting out on an adventure...

Maybe we should organize an event again soon where we all sign on around the same time and go off in a random direction, and then agree that we won't bring anything to start, won't use /home or /back or any of the other "cheaty" commands.

Reminds me, I think I will start building these if I head out exploring..

Bed, storage, crafting in a very efficient package

THis one is more minimalistic and not as nice http://imgur.com/a/nN7qm

[Mr. Analog]

If you're on single player all you need is a bed really

But yeah, I'm up for a Minecraft crawl, when were you thinking?

Those make me think of the Tiny House movement: http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/

I like the first one better, looks more like a house.  The second one looks like someone barfed up some blocks.

Dunno.  I know you're off on vacation soon, wanna do it before then?  Lazy, Tom, Mel, would you all be in on this?

[Tom]

My moods are fickle. I guess it depends on when you want to do it.

[Mr. Analog]

I'm on the road Saturday and will be back Tuesday, then Fraga is Thursday - Sunday

Then whenever, 'cause I'm off the following week.

Friday might work, if we get started around 7 or 8?

[Tom]

I need a little birch wood.

[Thorin]

Ha ha, been there, done that with the birch   what's that in the background?

Man, we need the Overviewer back so I can search for your base

Friday at 7pm sounds good to me. I've been thinking, if we're going to treat this as if we just started a new map maybe we should have an op teleport somewhere and then teleport the rest of us in (and teleport us in again if we die). Since I'm suggesting starting without any equipment, it wouldn't be fair to make everyone run a thousand blocks or more to the "new spawn".

Damn it'll be fun to do a start-from-scratch run. Although I might miss all my magicks...

That's my floating base. built out of natural terrain. Mostly untouched.

Suppose I should get on that...

Is this a together thing, or a everyone off in a different location thing?
