I've brought in a personal friend of mine, Bikari.  She's totally noob at HnH but trustworthy.  Got in last night and roughly showed her how to handle curios and basic controls.  I also found a box full of dead rabbits on a claim right at the shore, and apparently was able to grab the box from the boat, without commiting a crime.  Se we picked up 6 rabbits that should be going towards her backpack.

Not really.  We're about in the crossroads of a river as it connects with a lake.  We probably really need to consider relocating to somewhere more inland.  Being dwarves, we should also debate moving the bulk of the settlement underground.

we are straight at the water though, wouldn't moving a bit more inland be a lot safer?

Honestly. no point. People can zoom out there minimaps now, you might as well build something very strong at the water so people dont fuck with you cause they thing you are strong enough to stay there. Being inland just makes it hard, plus makes you look like a hiding coward.

That's what roads are for.  The main purpose of being further from water is to make sure that every little bloke won't get a look over your walls.  If you're inland, then they have to actually get out and walk over, and that's a chore.  It's easier for people to just cruise the shore for opportunities and the bulk of people don't bother.  Anyone coming to you has to actually come to you.

Also, the current location is a little cramped.  We won't have a great deal of room to expand, for things like farmland and pastures and individual housing.  It's fine for a communal camp, but a village needs to sprawl.

Island living is highly limiting, unless you're a hermit.

I give this settlement a week before it re-dies from inactivity. Or re-re-dies. Or however many times something was started in this game and didn't get anywhere.

Too bad you can't lock this thread to shut people up like you always do, because people are not allowed to have freedom of speech, right?

Speaking of the lack of space - we will move at some point. We're pretty much nomads right now, we'll live here for a week, and we'll move to the next location, hopefully the final one. We've got so much shit it took us two trips to take it all, so if the last place is too far, we'll make a camp inbetween.
Also, I've got a certain problem with Ender client, and nobody on the official forums seems to be responding, so I'll just paste this here:

Quote
Something's wrong with my client - whenever I turn it on, it overheats my computer, after 5-10 minutes the monitor freezes, goes black, and then goes back to normal displaying a graphics error. It does kill Ender, though, and any web browsers on. My graphic card is AMD Radeon HD 4690. Pretty sure this is exclusive to Ender - I had this problem before, always when computer was under a lot of pressure and heat.
Any ideas?
