Minecraft Hardcore w/ Me?

[gronti]

Thanks for the update, MonkeyHustle.

So who's in for some gaming tonight? Let us scout this new world and create a home once again.

An interesting choice for a new home, Emukt!

A desert people awaiting leadership. I'm thinking we need to build walls and a pyramid using naught but sandstone blocks! A huge task, indeed, but think how awesome it will look!

[gronti]

D'oh! There was lava under that sand...

[Emukt]

I think we need to make signs with the rules - free trading, PvP is cool in arena, plant what you pick.

[gronti]

Yeah, someone raided us and took all the goodies in the blacksmith chest and the wheat from the farm. I replanted what little seeds I could scrounge up. And then I chopped some trees to make shovels. And then I dug into that sand/dirt hill. Then I must've dug the wrong block because suddenly the entire sand area I was standing on dropped and I went with it. Straight down into the lava. I lost about 256 blocks of sand intended for our walls.

Also, I left my trapdoor open to the mine. Apparently, about half the villagers thought it might be a good idea to hide in the deepest parts of it. I have no idea how to get them back to the surface. I thought maybe a zombie would scare them out, so I removed all the torches. So far, no luck.

But you know what? Monkeyhustle (the admin) is great. I wrote in asking to reconsider dropping the duration of the death ban to 24 hours. He wrote back this morning and made it so! That makes a huge difference for me and my little spare time. Everyone should play and donate a little. He deserves it!

[Emukt]

It's going to be hard to pull this off on a non-whitelist PvP server. I think it will be an interesting effort.

[gronti]

Well, actively griefing buildings is a no-no, but stealing stuff is fine. So we just need to hide our common resources.

But we built that last fortification, so I know it's possible. Can we build it? Yes we can!

[Emukt]

Please someone get on and recover my stuff! Iron golem didn't take kindly to me offing villagers with poor trades.

[gronti]

I wish I could but I was death banned!

And WHY would you kill villagers? Of course the golem is going to kill you, silly!

You shoulda killed the villagers in the mine. They're too far away to trigger the golem killing spree, no?

Could one of youse guys pm me the coords? I'm on a desert island with minimal vegetation so it might be awhile before I can get there.
