I don't trust currency plugins. Too much annoyance and ripoffs ;) I recommend everyone being assigned a job, for example some could work for me in my shop, for some pay obviously. And if they pinch food or armor we have the right to kill them. :p Just my thoughts. Haha.

P.S. (Just to cover my own butt): I'm not trying to turn this into my own server, or force my opinions on anyone, I just thought it would be cool. But it is up to you, Dunc, and the rest of the community as a whole. 👍 That and my brain is 🤬 up and if a leaf falls of a tree, I've got to comment about it ;)

EDIT: *sympathizes with the first part, then nods in agreement with the last part of Gran's post* :cheers: Dunc!

I kinda like the idea of shops and such. It would make the server...more interesting :) Only problem is, if we don't use a currency mod or whatever, what will be the currency?
 
It's the same here. I've been getting disconnected and it takes a long time for chunks to load. Though the fps is really good. I think the problem is the wireless adapter from the server. For now I think we should stay away from adding mods until we can figure out what the problem is.

I'm glad it's not me...

Basically, when I log it does the usual stuff like 'connecting to server, logging in' but then sitson 'downloading terrain' for ages. When I finally spawn I can't walk far from where I am, as I would fall into an endless void... :indiff:
 
Umm... there may have been some *ahem* Pirates in the umm... *ahem* Bay.
Sorry :indiff:

As for currency. I think it will only really work if there are a lot more people.
 
oh. I see what you did there....

and I don't think currency works (never tried it, however). A bartering system could work, or even if you can spare items, give. it's a community, not a business world. if you don't want items, there are communal chests around the joint, so why not share?
 
On a lot of servers people just trade. "I need some wool, willing to trade iron or gold for it" etc.
 
Yeah, we trade online, and because we're a tight-knit community, we can count on getting a good deal and getting our returns. I mean, towel4 was fine with giving me some stuff, because I said I'd give him some diamonds. I did. In his front lobby.
 
I'm not sure if anyone knows, but I'm planning on developing the artificial island on my lake into houses. A demo home will be built once the server issues are ironed out. This will be either by my shop (opposite tlowr's) or in a huge cavern under my shop...
 
I Found a nice spot for Dust Driver's Building. Go to:
X:168
Y:73
Z:1069

Very much mountainous and might be large enough to build the towers into the mountain sides.
 
Have you thought about adding Planes for minecraft or vehicles for minecraft dunc? Also, are we going with currency mods or not?
 
To hopefully make the idea for the walkways more clear:

Planes and cars don't work for 1.6. They only work for 1.5 at the latest. Not to mention we will at least experience the lag we had before we switched to the new machine.
 
Finished the Point Zero Mansion, all there is is a few housekeeping issues and I'm set.

By the way, I've got five extra rooms, if anyone wants to lay claim to one. One's a penthouse suite with direct access to the balcony, and the rest are clear "an interior designer is you" style rooms. Free for anyone, in case you get stranded out near my place.

Oh, and here's a screenshot, with my lake in the foreground. I'm fairly confident you can figure out I own this.

Nice house Rykon, will visit it once I have the time.

In the meantime, here is the dish layout. (Colors are just for indicating areas, not types of blocks)

Edit: Made some slight changes

Good work. I had a look around a few hours ago. Looking cool! However if you wanna keep your stuff, I'd suggest putting hidden [Private] signs on your chests. I had a look thought them today. ;) (no I didn't steel...much. :p)

Anyways, how often do you hire strippers in the penthouse suite? :lol:
 
Locking chests is handy but shouldn't be nessessary. NO ONE should be stealing from other members.
 
Hey dunc I'm coming up with unknown host as an error.

EDIT: Never mind. It's just my USB wireless adapter going out on me. I need to replace it soon.
 
I only lock my valuables chest, as you probably noticed. If you take stuff, I'll be more than glad to give it to you... Provided you give me restitution. GTPers are usually good with the whole honor code.

Then again, that whole fiasco with the wood...

Oh, and the strippers: not often, sadly. Hey Dunc, we need a stripper mod.
 
Just finished clearing up most of the land for the dish:

I plan on helping dustdriver on fixing that one corner since it was my fault.
 
lol, got a bit TNT happy?

I could have cleared that in about 5mins by the way! I can level out the bottom if you like.
 
Took a few snaps for DustDriver:

Is it just me or does the ring look a bit off? Or it's just me getting confused again.

Thanks for the pics. What do you mean by 'wing'?

hey, I can see myself in the second pic :)

Might be interested in 'buying' one of these...:)
 
Cool. I'll think about pricing later. Maybe 40-50 gold or the materials and 10 gold?

Ingots/gems I presume? I don't have much gold...Have diamond though, lots of diamond tools, and a spare set of diamond armour that hasn't been used...Got it all from playing mob arena :)

EDIT: I think it may be necessary to set up some exchange rates for different materials, like one diamond = two gold. Also, I'm thinking of setting up my own trade centre. I'll say what I want/need and if you have some I'll list some stuff you can have I'll store my stuff in chests, and people can come in and out whenever, and replace the thing you took with the things I wanted. It may not be a very good system, but I think some kind of trading centre would be a good idea.
