  1. Um. I need a little help. If anyone knows the way to the LLO through the nether that would be great! I made it to town but got lost trying to go back to the LLO.

  2. I have no idea how to navigate from LLO to Town in the Nether. The other day when I popped on I was lost as heck because it looks like someone set a bomb off in the area around the portal and I didn't know where I was going until I found the stone pathway :(

  3. lol. Well I just found my way. I was going up when I should have gone down. Well it is just a 5 minute journey to the LLO now. :)

  4. Woohoo! Glad you made it out. I tend to do that and sometimes I end up distracted and getting lost.

  7. With changes to the terminal off the table, I'm moving back-burnered plans to the forefront. I will be constructing a wall to the southeast that will form the boundary to LLO. Note that you can always build on the other side of the wall. For instance, London, Rome, Tokyo. etc. are all citys formed around a walled city. So, the question is, where should I place it? I would prefer to place it loosely along natural geographic boundaries.

    I'm happy to move it in or out a bit. Note that I realize this won't actually deter griefing, but it does create a symbol of property ownership. This is just a really loose sketch that can evolve based on feedback and "realities on the ground"

    I've done a fair amount of wall and highway building on smp6 if any of you frequent that server. Good times.


    I'm planning on a wall height similar height-wise to the walls connecting the 4 towers. I'm going to go scout the terrain now...

  8. I'd choose the Mediterranean Revival style.

  9. Sounds like a long process but if it will work and help then I guess I'm for it. Just have to watch out as The Umbrella Corporation are a bit to the side of us and they don't like others poking around near their compound it seems.

  10. Sorry, changes are off the table.

  11. Would it make sense to go between the two, or would that be perceived as confrontational? Note, we could put a giant happy Umbrella-friendly gate there. I expect it will need quite a few gates to prevent casual griefing just so LLO members can get through.

  12. I like the idea of a wall that would make the place seem more this is OUR land.

  13. I know in the snow part or Little Toronto there is a big Embassy they made that has a track to their base. The griefer hit us and more than likely took that path to theirs and hit them as well and they were accusing some of our members but I think all is fine now. But also someone had built a house close to them and they asked them to move it. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if there was a gate but they do have the cart track between the two.

  14. In very beginning Zulu, me and others sorry can't remember thought about building a wall around LLO but decide not too due it would stop future expanding of LLO and cram it into the area the the wall, and the time and effort it would take to do this maybe if we 10 or plus people at LLO a day like couple months ago the it would work but now with only 3 or4 members there thro out the day the project will take forever and I see some people just giving up and moving on to different one. Oo also and the shear amount of materials we would have to make and don't say giant cobble wall well do.

  16. Oh, I don't think it will go all the way around (the Great Wall of China doesn't) Like I said, log onto smp6 and go to the wild and wander around near the spawn. I have a quick building technique (water/lava cast in place). I'm not looking for help for most of it, though if someone wanted to help build gates I wouldn't complain!

  17. So where the red line is where it's going to go then I don't see a problem there. I think the highland biome which will be tricky but it your project so I won't stop there and doesn't interfer with anyone projects

  18. Yeah, it's a natural island (left side of btribble's screenshot).

    I think that's a good place. Most of expansion has been in other directions. There hasn't really been a lot of expansion in that direction.

    That was you?? Nicely done sir.

    You don't actually build the walls, you can use lava and water to generate cobblestone walls.
