What are your Goals in EMC? 2022-2023 Edition

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourself' started by Tuqueque, Aug 19, 2022.

  1. Hello People, I just remembered, I used to host this thread, so I wanted to bring it back now that I'm active again :) Minecraft and EMC has changed quite a bit from features, to how it is played.

    V1: 2015-2017: https://empireminecraft.com/threads/locked-what-are-your-goals-in-emc.55582/
    V2 2018-2019: https://empireminecraft.com/threads/share-your-goals-thread-2018.76017/

    The purpose of this thread is to share your goals, from meeting a new friend, to building the next EMC MegaMall brand known to all, as the crusher of competitors. Minecraft is limited by your imagination, like that old trailer said, and so are your goals here!

    Also, IRL goals are also welcome here! We are here to cheer each other's progress both ingame and irl!

    I'll Bump this Thread probably once a month :) - be sure to keep updating your goals! Begin the Sharing and Cheering!

  4. Mmmm very nice idea

    Item Goals:
    • Obtain every promo on the Promotional Item list, display them in fancy vault
    • Tales of Eternia
    • Heads--I have a Wall of Friends and my goal is to have every friend on it. Some people are more stubborn than others, so it takes a lot of persistence/persuasion
    Economic Goals:
    • I don't actually care about rupees, I fluctuate anywhere between 25k and 3 million as I buy/sell/trade things. Currently at 2.5m but that'll change
    Game Goals and Forum fun:
    • Build shop booth at +katy smp8
    • Finish Formula 1 mapart on smp8 and Islamic mapart on utopia, put up for sale for 1r each
    • Launch DrasCorp MapArt commissions--currently working on private commission for Atels, but I want to start a server-wide business so that others can commission maparts on their home smp's
    • Work on Dragon Egg scavenger hunt with Progryck. Big builds planned, but the storyline/plot is taking time to write. Working on difficulty level as well (since the prize is 18 million, don't want it to be straightforward)
    • Currently helping UpmostLocket with massive, massive gold farm project
    • Build smp7 embassy for Snappes' SPQR organization
    • Commission Atels for underground DrasCorp Dungeon Auction House to continue monthly +swap auctions that ended when Zomberina quit. Will only take 2.47% commission for lot sales, anyone can bring items to auction off
    • Work on +tutorial idea with Tuqueque, plan a brief but comprehensive introduction for new players to quickly learn the aspects of villager trading, important shops, promo items, forums, etc.
    • Build EMC Legacy Museum with Progryck--massive build over 4 connected utopia reses. Will have spaces for players to build small shrines for themselves, with their head+autobiography displayed. Planned to be the most expensive build on EMC materials-wise, but too many other things in the way right now. Reses/alt account acquired, though.
    • Build upper-level floors in Utopia headquarters' towers. When I commissioned the build I envisioned a large mall, but I just don't have the motivation to stock a wide variety of items anymore. Plus, I have a shop booth at +katy now
    • Commission unixbrain to build fastest self-fueling autosmelter on EMC under DrasCorp utopia res and make it public and free to use. He's taking a break from EMC, don't know when he'll be back
    Others:
    • Meeting people/making new friends
    • Supporting new players and their shops
    • Bugging older players for stories of the glory days
    • Annoying Katy, Snappes (essential)
    • Plan future forum giveaways similar to Super Kit that I did for 1st anniversary. I enjoyed the stories and definitely want to do something similar again with high-value prize
    • Last year of college coming up

  8. I've been doing this recently. If you need any help, create a thread about it in Byte Chat, I'm sure I'm not the only person with git experience, and you're not the only person with git questions. :D
    Wait, how can that be orange, if you're following Tuqueque's key?
    BreezyMan, We3_MPO and Tuqueque like this.
  9. Since I am not much of a builder I concentrate on gathering. So, my goal for this year is to gather mob drops on a diff setting higher than the usual #5. Even #6 right now seems a bit difficult so I need to learn how to improve then to move on up to #10.

    Edit: Dras, the holder of the record for liking a new post, 2 seconds!!
  10. I forgot to list that one in my goals! But yes, I intend to do that too.

    Do you have full Protection IV netherite armor and a stack of golden carrots? I can survive a night on difficulty 8 just fine with those, as long as I've disabled boss spawns.
  11. On top of what MPO said, Haunted candy is a must once you get higher difficulties as it heals you instantaneously 2 hearts as well as begins healing you automatically after that initial health burst, very quickly due to the high saturation effect which last quite a bit

    On other news, I Updated quite a bit of my res today happy with results

    Get Counting with Pictures to 1000 pages
    Host the EMC Text Adventure III

    I might have reached the yellow ones already if EMC were still as active as it was when I joined, but the red one is a case of myself not having enough spare time.
  13. I would like to see a new game, but I am not sure I have a res for it, not possibly the time for it.
    Due to the current issue with the word, it needs a new name without using SNIPER.

    Boat starts at the top of the mountain, bow snipers start at the bottom of mountain on foot. Boater cannot leave boat or the water/ice and must make it to the bottom while in the boat. Sniper needs to stop the boat.

    I envision waterfalls, a cliff drop or two. Possibly tp allowed to a couple spots for snipers/ alternatively using a horse. Huge course for the river roaming around the res mountain then down to the bottom. Plenty of trees and a couple lookouts for snipers.

    Would probably take one player a couple months to build without help. Just making the mountain and not having it lag is another issue.

    °°°°°°°°°°°′°°°°°°°°°°°°°
    Besides the above game mock up - would it be worth it?
    Finish all 3 of the new public farms on 7 @wild east - trying to pin down a mob issue (monster escaped damage is popping up on all mobs😭) maybe Dev question/help needed
    building a new tutorial mockup
    finally finishing the shop on 8, both sides
    Updating the banner shop on 7 to include Mob Head selling/buying
    Recycling Center on Utopia needs redstone reworked (before Mojang adds another 60 blocks to the game), as it is currently busting at the seams
    Learn more redstone which may help finish Recycle Ctr and Mob Farms
    Get back to work on finishing the nether path to outpost.

  18. You don't have to claim an outpost for that--just build it far out, and once you're done, you can lock it with a glass pane on a cartography table.

    Also, just got Tales of Eternia, so I really am done my promo goals :D
    Tuqueque and KatydidBuild like this.
  19. You only need one piece of steel armor. Added pieces will have no added effect when fighting/pvp.
