  13. No, that's what I was talking about. I knew that we wouldn't be able to enter the contest, I was stating that if a partnership were to happen, zulu would have to give the word, as would a majority of the community.
    Sorry that post wasn't as clear.

  14. Not even because of 20kR people wants to make wild bases?
  15. My team and I are currently setting things up! We're just not quite sure what our MASSIVE project shall be.
  16. I feel like I'm destined to become a proofreader.
  17. Nice :D
    Lol?!
  18. I have a small question, to where do the evacuation tunnels let out to? Also what purpose do they serve?

    EDIT: Another question do the coal melons bread and iron have to be in the same chest? Or can they be spread out from chest to chest?

    EDIT AGAIN: Can you send me a picture of an example of a branch mine?
  19. Just going to bump real quick to get my Q's answered *bump*
  20. When in doubt, wiki it.

    EDIT: Also, I would assume an escape tunnel is if for some reason the outpost is overrun and you are trapped in your house be it by fire, lava, or mobs.
