[i][b]Day 19[/b]

Dear diary;

[IMG]http://imgur.com/xAI8G.png[/IMG]
I decided to renovate my home today; starting with expanding the tower floor yet again.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/Mygnn.png[/IMG]
It didn't take too long.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/UA47d.png[/IMG]
The second task was to create another floor, below the first one.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/2j4NJ.png[/IMG]
I made it match the top floor, and raised walls that made the floor a room.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/tAfqp.png[/IMG]
It was a bit dark and boring, what with the bland stone walls and no light.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/N3eTj.png[/IMG]
So I put up a couple of torches and put windows all around the room, bunker-style.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/6ltBq.png[/IMG]
I remembered that I had some iron ore to smelt, so I went up and fired up the ovens. In the meantime, I made myself some more torches.

http://imgur.com/GI2Jr.png
The new room didn't look too good; sure, it had a great view and lighting, but it felt so bland and empty.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/POCbd.png[/IMG]
I made myself some new tools using the diamond I had found, thinking about what could spice the room up a bit.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/ENMdg.png[/IMG]
I kept thinking about it when I went down to update the calendar.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/JZKvQ.png[/IMG]
I kept thinking about it when I looked up at my newly expanded home.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/YY0uq.png[/IMG]
And finally; when I took a look at my old cave, I realized what it was missing.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/pdu1p.png[/IMG]
I climbed up to my storage chest, grabbed some stone tiles, glass, and made a wooden door.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/tQP6S.png[/IMG]
The room was much better now. It had a smooth stone floor, and glass in the windows.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/4f7Zn.png[/IMG]
Sure, the tiles put the windows closer to the floor, but this made it easier to look at the ground.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/sWapd.png[/IMG]
And with that in mind, I came up with another idea: an observation floor, made of glass.

[IMG]http://imgur.com/l3CNN.png[/IMG]
I could look at the ground, from all angles, without falling!

[IMG]http://imgur.com/0VWWw.png[/IMG]
As a final detail to the tower I improved the entrance and put a door in it. I think this is enough home improvements for this time.
The sun had already rised, so it was about time I wrote the entry for today. I guess I'll have to go back to the mines and mine even more. I just hope there won't be any monsters.

See you later.[/i]

OOC: A non-delayed update that's not posted in the evening? Preposterous!
Anyway, my home is a bit more awesome now. I'm gonna go down in the mines tomorrow, and see if I can't find any more of that stupid iron. It's so rare...

Post fixed and credit given. Thanks.

So, wait, what's wrong with the images?

[Frajic]

So, wait, what's wrong with the images?

They're being hosted by Photobucket. By using them they may block my pictures due to exceeded bandwith. That's what's wrong.
ok to be honest they don't really need fixing now seeing as there's only a few left, but just to be on the safe side
plus I'm feeling lazy and am sort of using it as an excuse not to do updates yet

[i][b]Day 22[/b]

Dear diary;

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SLksk.jpg[/img]
I needed more iron for my minecart track, so I went down mining today.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SjKCc.jpg[/img]
I started digging yet another tunnel, like normal.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AUQ0N.jpg[/img]
A bit of redstone was found.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DqvUW.jpg[/img]
And magma. That darn magma. I couldn't be bothered trying to find it's chamber.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Pq9oQ.jpg[/img]
I avoided it quite easily, though.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8iVnv.jpg[/img]
And guess what? I dug into one of my old tunnels.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/I30dh.jpg[/img]
I solved it by putting up some stone to function as a bridge, and dug a bit down so I could get through below it.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kzlcO.jpg[/img]
Eventually I found some sweet, sweet iron.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4gge9.jpg[/img]
And a few diamonds.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iLEsB.jpg[/img]
And magma, yet again.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aoo0z.jpg[/img]
I accidentally lost some of my iron in it while I was blocking it off. I swore to myself and decided it wasn't worth trying to recover. It had probably melted down by now anyway.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/BfdCQ.jpg[/img] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0Ckv8.jpg[/img]
Later I found more redstone, and even more iron. My mood lightened a bit.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MQblr.jpg[/img] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/w6dJ4.jpg[/img]
But I lost one of the veins to a magma "trap". Stupid magma, always getting in my way. If only magma could be used for something.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LemhM.jpg[/img]
Luckily I found another vein. I had just about enough to finish my mine cart track.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/O5loT.jpg[/img]
Oh, and I found some more coal, too. Fuel ahoy!

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Ze0WL.jpg[/img]
I made myself a shortcut out when I dug into my own tunnel again. I had gone in a circle. Neat.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Awxzh.jpg[/img]
I climbed up from the mines, and into the moonlight. This is the first time in a while I've finished my work before a new day has started.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VgGIe.jpg[/img]
I continued up the tower, and started smelting the ore.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dz7Z7.jpg[/img]
I made the last track parts I'm (hopefully) going to need.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NRI4a.jpg[/img]
The sun was rising, so I decided to call it a day and write this entry.
Now I'm going to finish my roller coaster ride. I can't wait to ride it all the way down. I think I'm going to use my tower room as the start of the track, it's not like I need it for anything else.

See you later.[/i]

OOC: I actually found today's update a bit boring. Oh well. Tomorrow is minecart day :D

[i][b]Day 21[/b]

Dear diary;

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/F9iiJ.jpg[/img]
Pop quiz. What did I make today?

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Bx2ZI.jpg[/img]
Tip 1: It's made out of iron tracks.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oc9lv.jpg[/img]
Tip 2: It goes up around the tower.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/6yAJV.jpg[/img]
Tip 3: You need a cart with wheels to use it.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vTVIN.jpg[/img]
Tip 4: I accidentally fell down and died when I tried using it.
Alright, that's enough tips. You probably know what it is by now anyway. What I spent the last day and night making was:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TdF6p.jpg[/img]
A mine cart track! I'm going to use it to get down from the tower faster. And more fun. It's not finished though; I need some more iron to make more tracks. It's one hell of a lot of fun riding the thing, though.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Kp3PQ.jpg[/img]
And again, the sun rised before I could get the day's journal entry done.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/pKQK3.jpg[/img]
I updated the calendar to Day 21. Though, since that thay had already passed...

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Uus41.jpg[/img]
I went ahead and made it Day 22.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cZ6vN.jpg[/img]
Looking up my now slightly entangled tower, I wished I could ride the cart upwards. I don't have any propulsion besides gravity, though; so it'll have to wait. Maybe I can make a steam engine or something.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Rn5xv.jpg[/img]
Right now I'm sitting up in the tower, in front of the work bench. I'm urging for some iron, so I can finish the tracks, and maybe experiment with the steam engine idea. Since I already know the idea and concept, it hopefully won't take too long. Maybe a few days.

See you later.[/i]

OOC: Mine carts ahoy!
21 done

[Frajic]

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can't get the last few updates done today. Or not. I'll start updating this thing again tomorrow, in that case.

[mcclay]

does this still liive, cause if not it is a horrbile shame.

[Spade]

Yes, it does.

What would make you think it's dead? The last post wasn't that long ago.

[Frajic]

Oh, it's alive all right, it just fell into a ditch.

And it's a bit tiresome climbing up.

[mcclay]

now I think this is dead

[Frajic]

now I think this is dead

Dying. It's dying. I'm going to bring it back to life. Soon. When I don't have other things to do.

[zestorum]

Footsteps behind you? I smell a Herobrine troll.

Anyway... Congratulations for taking the initiative and fixing the photobucket problem. I would've never had the patience. I hope this bump will prove useful in your quest for diamond.

Ah screw it, fine; I'll fix the remaining updates.

Expect it done sometime this evening.
NVM I have no computer w/ internet access.
