Thread: Spawn pvp report (Server Discussion) Posted on 16 Oct : 14:59

I'm sorry Constable Moderator, I had to commit a murder at spawn today. It brought me great mental anguish to do so, but I felt I had no choice. This is my story... A new member called Mine_Man112524 arrived at spawn. He was tall, dark and handsome and was attractively naive in the ways of CFUK. I couldn't resist, I gave him a hot, buttered chicken in an attempt to show friendship. He then proceeded to beat me to within an inch of my life with the chicken and was pursuing me with viscious intent, I didn't have time to warn him before I had to kill his face off, or die myself. I was too shaken up by the unexpected violence of this poultry assault to get any screenshots of said beating whilst it occured, however this is the brief conversation that took place between us: Shortly after, he left the server and didn't return. After I killed him, I took back the chicken and ate it. It satisfied my hunger for food, but not my hunger for justice - a meal I hope that will be served up by the CFUK moderators. Thanks.

A few things have gone missing from the library so I've locked it down for the time being. At the moment there's rarely any regulars on the survival server so its kind of hard to keep people's books safe. If and when people return to the survival server I'll try to work out some system to better protect your books whilst still letting trusted people read them.

Goodness. As of my last count the library now has 33 books in it. 33. Thirty three. That's a silly number for an imaginary library. And a wonderful number too. I will read all submissions, but there's a bit of backlog now! here's a few highlights from recent submissions: Adrenalynn bolstered the non-fiction section with her textbook Villager Guide. It ably demystifyies our droop-snooted co-inhabitants and their curious ways. KSFunnell debuted her ambitious, sprawling fantasy epic Premeture Falls, the first part of four we hear. We'll be open the library at midnight for the release of part two and space will be made available if you want to camp out. Changyeo followed up Quest, Redstone with the equally impressive Quest, Diamond. Redstone Steve continues to misunderstand the basic concepts of the Minecraft world. The_Poots put a different spin on things with her puzzling poser, Guess the Film. The concept is simple but brilliant, in her book she describes the beginning of a movie. Do you recognise it? Finally, I felt sorry for the empty Romance chest so I wrote what I consider to be the most romantic story ever written. Derek's End has been described as Romeo and Juliet on Acid by literally no-one.

Folks, the library has officially gone nuts! Who would have suspected the denizens of Tortoisetown were sitting on such literary skill and fervent imagination? Thanks to ToaOfSpace for the punchy (i.e. short) cautionary tale of Max and his illuminating auto-biography too. Draze84's The Meaning is a perceptive investigation into the nature of the universe, right up there with Hawking's Brief History of Time, perfect for those who like their fiction 'non'. Which isn't to say his creative chops are in any way lacking, read the first chapter of Life of Norae if you're in any doubt - it comes with a first class recommendation from asst. librarian The_Poots. Dubien necessitated the introduction of a new chest, "Experimental Fiction" for his transcription of the collaborative effort Five Word Story. Joycean in scope it's a celebration of language in its purest form. But my favourite submission so far is Study of Chicken, also by Dubien. Entertaining and informative by equal measure, Dubien shines an unflinching light on the secret lives of these most mis-understood of creatures. Thankyou to everyone who has written books, please keep them coming. One more thing, the horror section now has an inhabitant, my own A Ghastly Murder. Be warned, it will make you poo in your pants.

5 books? I'll call you JKFunnell

As of today the library has 6 whole books! Thanks to Changyeo and Bobbleheadman2 for their installments in what I hope is going to be a long episodal work about Redstone Steve, a flawed anti-hero with echoes of Melville's Ahab. Thanks also to The_Poots who turned in a thought-provoking meditation on life as a tortoise in a Bronte-esque pastiche. Can't wait to read more submissions!

Re: Public Library Open - Diamonds paid for submissions! (Server Discussion) Posted on 25 Sep : 19:56

Do it, you won't regret it! Also, thanks to Megabanafrog and Tetsuoken1234 the library is now busting at the seams with a whole 3 books to choose from - 2 more than I ever thought possible. Literature is fun!

Thread: Public Library Open - Diamonds paid for submissions! (Server Discussion) Posted on 25 Sep : 13:22

Hi! I built a public library at spawn and now its partially open. Players can drop by and pick up a free book and quill, then if they return it with a story written (minimum ten pages) I will give them a diamond. Alternatively, you can browse books people have written and have a read. There's not much choice at the moment, just the one book - BennyFinger's opus The Fat Grocers ("...the 50 Shades of Grey of Minecraft books." - The_Poots) but with a bit of help, that will change. The public library is located opposite the Sausage on a Fork statue in Tortoisetown.

Re: [poll] Plot Size within spawn town (Server Discussion) Posted on 16 Sep : 10:21

I'm also for unlimited. For me the point of Minecraft is building and it seems profoundly weird to expect people to have their base in a small area where you can't do very much. I think spawn should be for ambitious builds, not piddly little houses that are going to be abandoned very quickly when the owners run out of space.

Re: New Spawn Market and Plots 5 plots left (Server Discussion) Posted on 13 Sep : 14:41

Nope, still not getting it! Let me be specific. Say I want to build in the big green area off the road that runs behind MichaelScott's Skyscraper immediately south of that, in the space between Creeper Wood and the little funny cobble house that I think is something to do with jamgasm. I can't see any signs there that suggest its claimed. Is that okay? Do I need to clear it with you? Am I limited in the size of my build here? I'm going to need a wide frontage, certainly more than 25 blocks, more like 50/60 and a similar depth. Sorry to be a dumbass, I'd just like to know its cool before I start. Benny(Fingers)
