I know we're mostly burnt out on civcraft, but before 3.0 launches next month the admins are looking for some small builds to lend flavour to the map, ruins, caves, atmospheric areas etc. Maybe some of you might be interested in contributing? https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/comments/4ovllp/resuming_building_contest_and_mapworld_ama_2/
There's a few restrictions of course, no loot, precious materials, mob spawners, they should be small and thematically appropriate.  I'm sure someone might have some ideas, I'm thinking of maybe doing some cobblestone stuff that would give an slight impression of the feeling of abandoned past civilisation like 2.0 gave me.

I'll have a look

[Devoted]

I kind of miss the 2.0 dramas, Civtest just seemed more juvenile somehow. I think the longevity of disputes in 2.0 lent more legitimacy to the butthurt. Civtest just didn't have anything to compare to the slowly evolving power blocks that wrestled and backstabbed their way to relevancy.
Also the memes were low tier, not even dank, 1/10, wouldn't meme again.

This is why a lot of players switched over to Devoted.

We actually have gotten a lot of newfriends who have never played Civcraft too.

I am just wondering where Praxis went

This is the shit I go to civcraft for:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Jutting out from a sandy beach, half buried lies a stone colossus, crumbling and covered in vines.
Your eyes lock with those two great slabs of polished obsidian, still intact after all these years. They gaze watchful even now long after the world around it had changed beyond recognition, the erosion of the great city that it once presided over as certain as its own fate. Even diamond reinforcements don't last forever.
Almost as if the server itself shared your reverence, the wind seemed to pick up as you walked towards the ruin. Frowning, you squint at clouds far away. Probably a lagstorm on the horizon, you'd best be quick.
Clambering over clumps of rock, the occasional debris from the statue proves little challenge to you. You'd lived most of your life in lands with terrain much worse than this, the strange outcrops of rock that dot this coastline - eerily smooth and regular in their appearance - were nothing to break a sweat over.
You've seen ruins before, some were better preserved than this, but inevitably most were gutted by treasure-seekers or for their valuable building substrate. But you know damn well this is a new find, this is hardly a hospitable shard at the best of times and few venture beyond the mining outpost at worldborder.
(you had, admittedly, seen a few signs out of the corner of your vision. you ignored them)
The statue is mostly hollow, it seems. All the more impressive that it towered as it did over the shore. A slow creaking sound, and a small shower of dust and pebbles falls from behind you. As grandpaps used to say, "boy, if you keep squatting in one place like that ancaps will recognise your property rights!" You keep walking forward.
And then you see it. Hardly new to exploration yourself you weren't inclined to expect too much from this find, most valuable ruins being deep underground. Old-World vaults and bunkers were rare as hens teeth, but they were a sure-fire way to get your hand on artifacts worth a damn. In the open, you'd be lucky to find so much as a furnace. So the wooden chest you saw in front of you, blemished only with a layer of dust? You must have stood still, open mouthed for a good half-minute before your senses kicked in.
You scramble over the rubble and kneel down at the chest. To your suprise, it isn't even locked. You have so many questions, and yet all you can do is breath ragged as you stare at your prize. The print is faded somewhat, but the title of the book is clear to see.

This...is interesting.

I enjoy minecraft, moreso with mods that add difficulty. Devoted sounds like a good place for me. Just need enough obsidian to build my house.

Have you considered ATLauncher? Their Pixelmon mod pack comes with a list of servers, perhaps you could do the same? I like ATL because it allows you to set more ram, and you could establish a baseline set of mods to make the experience more enjoyable, or leave it vanilla. I'd recommend Carpenter's Blocks, if nothing else.

Using obsidian to build a house...?

Also if you want you're free to join us in Ascalon. Message bayernanhaenger as he's in charge of new citizens

I'll think about it. Internet's not that good where I am.

And yes, I use obsidian to build just about everything. Can't trust anyone.

Huge wave of mineman terrorism at the moment happening in Ascalon is causing some big isolationism right now on the server. Ascalon is very unsafe

[MarcAFK]

Are you talking about devoted? Because civcraft is still down, 3.0 is expected after first week of July, but that's not a concrete date.
The last I heard of devoted my good friend zombielenin started another glorious people's revolution.

Yeah I'm talking about Devoted. The terrorism has faded, but Agora has given the Pirates an ultimatum. War is coming very very soon.

[Amperzand]

I look to be getting a new computer soon, so I may actually be able to play things such as these without overheating every ten minutes on minimum settings.

[Encephalon_Injuries]

Darn, I was planning on starting one of these myself! I was the guy who was over the old Tygrus group running with the 4chan guys. Guess I'll have to go it my own this time, beat me here.

[Bob_Namg]

And suddenly a new lively thread has appeared!
Anyhow so if things go nicely the Chan boys will have your backs if anyone fucks with you.
Good luck, I'll probably come on every once in a while and help you with stuff in between helping Chancer's inevitable public works projects

[Orange Wizard]

Oh god

the mesh

[Headache]

Civcraft 3.0 servers go live today.

[Imofexios]

Can someone link me what civcraft all is talking about since i think there are 2 versions which i confuse?

[Orange Wizard]

Civcraft 1.0 was ages ago, and was replaced by 2.0, which ended fairly recently, Civtemp/3.test was up for a couple of months to support development, now we're awaiting 3.0.
