So, yeah. If you want to play with Bay12 on a non-Bay12 server, go on GalacticaActual; IP is galacticaactual.dyndns.org. IRC is #dwarveninvaders on darkmyst. It's an ocean server, with our base quite a ways away, so read the travel instructions. FYI, the server will be reset for 1.7, so if that annoys you, then you'd better wait until later to join.

Spoiler: Travel Instructions (click to show/hide)

1)Head southwest to Esperenza Island, using either auto-swimming* or a boat you can get by stepping on the pressure plate at spawn. You can try to find the nether portal near spawn and go to Esperanza, but I forget the coordinates for it and you might die.
2)Stock up with food and anything else you need (be sure to rest in the bed!), then enter the nether portal and head towards the Estrella portal. There should be a tunnel.
3)Stock up and rest on Estrella, then head towards I3 using the nether. There IS a tunnel, and it's probably visible.
4)Arrive on I3 and start building stuff!

To swim automatically, hold W + Space and press F11. Then read a book or something while Minecraft runs.

Spoiler: Original Post (click to show/hide)

So, I was reading through the Minecraft topic, and I found a link to a "Dwarven Invaders" topic, the idea of which was to gather Minecraft players from Bay12 to form groups and influence servers by hoarding resources, building cool stuff, attacking other servers, et cetera. Now, I found this idea interesting, so I went to the last page, and the final post was in February. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone wanted to do this?

If this should've gone in Play With Your Buddies, then I apologize. The original topic was in Other Games.

Well, an active Bay 12 Minecraft community would be nice.  I would be open to the idea.

[forsaken1111]

I guess you could do it on my bay12 server but... thats not really invading.

[Remuthra]

It's metaphorical invading. As for the fortress concept, I have a building technique that might work quite well. I call it the Rotary Phone Base.

Well feel free to join if you like

Its 1.6.2 with a bunch of mods, though not everything is 100% functional yet as we're using some prereleases and dev versions for 1.6.2

Ah, nice. I've been looking for a long while for a good modded server. I'll see about building Tempest Station there.

It doesn't even have redpower, since it's in 1.6.2 .

[forsaken1111]

If you have trouble getting in as some people have with the latest update, use the optional java string I included in the install steps

[Graknorke]

I concur that it's not an invasion if the server is Bay12.

[SharpKris]

server invading sounds neat
going to peoples creations dotting around explosives and connecting them to a button that says dont push me

[Graknorke]

I vote for the contruction of Tacle Spires. Tacle Spires are great and the best.

EDIT:
Disregard that advertising.
I think what we're looking for is a server without a whitelist/forced guest until registering and that is public. Yes?

[Squill]

This is a pretty cool idea.

[Graknorke]

So I've been looking around various vanilla servers to see where we could go. I guess I'll list a few here. None should have whitelist.

http://minecraft-server-list.com/server/10396/ - Galactic Actual; Looks pretty good in terms of setup, but has an ocean spawn to deter grief and the majority of players work alone. We may well be ostracised, as we were in SlaveHack. Apparently lag is also an issue, but on the bright side the long-time locals are total dicks and we will feel good about fucking their shit up.
http://minecraft-server-list.com/server/130394/ - TheVanillaBlock; Just a vanilla server. Not really anything to say about it. Apparently moderation makes erronous bans sometimes. High population (mid high teens to mid twenties most of the time)
http://minecraft-server-list.com/server/167950/ - McShadowrealm; Vanilla, no whitelist, can't be too awful since they have a somewhat steady population and nobody whining in comments. Only 8 players maximum though. So we would likely fill up the server. - Struck off for low population cap.

[miauw62]

Only 8 peeps kinda kills the last one. I'd vote for the first one if we can't find any others. The ocean spawn won't be hard to get trough, but if most of the long-time players are dicks they can probably call in the help of admins, so we have to be subtle and meet at a set location instead of suddenly all spawning in at the same time.

[SharpKris]

we could go one whitelist servers too ya know

[Graknorke]

But getting a whole group to go into a whitelist application is pretty hard, and also might take a while.
