So, I haven't been able to read through the entire thread (I tried, but the slow connection where I'm at, along with the big pictures, made it too frustrating) but is there a multiplayer server that a lot of Halforumites go to? 'Cause I'd love to join in.

Yes, but if your connection is too slow to load the pictures, it might be too slow for SMP... it's not exactly optimized for network. Even at T1 speeds it can load slowly.

available by PM.

Well, I haven't built much, but I'm staking a claim:

Nah, I don't think that'll be a problem. I was just getting work done at a library after dropping off a job application. The connections there aren't exactly what you'd call "good"
I'll check it out!

My base on Ragnar is small at the moment, and well hidden. Primarily because of framerate issues. I found a nice big hill, and tunneled straight down until I hit bedrock. Made sure I had some torches on me, then closed off the shaft securing me deep underground. I've begun excavating a large room to begin with then I'll stretch out in various tunnel systems leading to other areas of the world. And I'm staying entirely under ground. The only times I'll ever resurface is to stock back up on wood for supplies.

Why not grow trees down there with you?
Feel free to connect to the tunnel system near Humble Tree....just dont tunnel through wall that have two torches one atop the other...there is lava behind those >.>
Also you can always poke your head up in my under-water glass-domed hut....you are technically not "resurfacing" then.
You should totally make a custom dwarf player skin too :3

Nothing out of the ordinary on my end as far as I know, although I was probably asleep at the time.
Server is updated, but I'm afraid there'll be some maintenance downtime for the next hour or so, in case anyone wonders. Gonna move it back into the closet and try to get rid of some cable clutter.
Edit: Back up again! And I must say I didn't fail as much as usual in arranging the cables
Edit 2: ...aaaand of course minecraft.net went down instead. Figures, heh.
Saw this on Kotaku.

The login servers are down. Not much to do but wait.
Hey if you guys wouldn't mind helping out a noob on the server:
Here is the current location of my little hut. You can kinda see a wooden wall with a torch sticking out of the foliage there.
Anyway, I'm planning on making this server the majority of Minecraft gameplay, but don't wanna have to completely start over. As soon as I can get back on the server, probably not til like 9:30EST, I'm gonna bust down my shed and relocate elsewhere.
IN THE MEANTIME:
If you're feeling generous, please feel free to drop any resources and tools you can spare into my shed. I think I have a large chest in there but I honestly don't know. If not just toss it in or even make me a chest. Any help you can spare would go a long way to my making a stand in the Gasbandian wastelands.

So for a while now I've been hearing a bunch of people in #pvponline talking about Minecraft and have been following this thread with interest. Saturday I decided to pick it up on a lark but it wasn't until Sunday that I was able to really get into it. My first two worlds started pretty crappy but my third world has been awesome. There were a few floating islands hovering above a small bay not far from my spawn and I have decided to expand them to make room for a sky castle.
So far I've completed the southeastern tower. It's five stories tall and has a beacon on it for easy nighttime finding.
From the top of the tower here is the view of the east.
The south.
The west.
And the north.
Since completing the tower I've begun expanding the island and laying the foundations for the east wall. In this picture you can see where the east gatehouse will be located as well as the foundation of the northeast tower.
And finally here is a shot of the whole island so far from the ground.
Once I have more work done on the castle my next project will be building a cathedral on my spawn point so that when I die I can be resurrected in a self-aggrandizing church to me!

Dammit Notch! That is going to be such a pain.

Did you not find the chest of supplies I placed near spawn? Or did that get emptied out already? Also, if you're in need of wood, there is a tree farm between your hut and my place, just look for the super dense cluster of trees with torches at their bases. On the south side of the grove is a chest with wood that is free to take. Whenever I harvest I tend to leave about half of what I get in that chest for others.If you're feeling generous, please feel free to drop any resources and tools you can spare into my shed. I think I have a large chest in there but I honestly don't know. If not just toss it in or even make me a chest.

I think gusto started and plunked down his shack before you put down the newbie chests at the spawn, Pez.
In other news, you can "break" a minecart with flint and tinder (set it on fire), but the resulting cart "item" popping out might also burn up if you don't snag it fast enough or are just unlucky.

Meh, until there are monsters at night that can do damage, I don't care what people find on their own.
On another note, minecarts can still be collected just fine in single player. Woo!

Well, the newbie chest is labeled, and I was going to make a sign for the tree farm chest, but the server was doing funky stuff to me last night. (I got stuck in a loop where the same thing happened over and over and over).Haha, word, I'll just raid every chest I see on my way to somewhere.
The first time I got on the multiplayer server I got in some kind of loop when placing coal in my furnace that basically generated me like 15 free coal.

Jesus dick, son.
I am constantly amazed by this kind of stuff. I can't wait til someone makes PongCraft.
That's pretty amazing. My mind was boggling at how huge the structure behind it is. I wonder how long it took this guy to build it.
