[B]Facepunch Community Fortress:[/B]
The idea is simple. Players will sign up and be added to a roster of players. The objective is to build a fortress. Each player will get a turn to contribute whatever they want to the fortress, save the game, and post the save for the next person. The turns will go in order in a first come first serve basis. The point is to take turns in building an awesome fortress together while dealing with attacks from monsters and various events.
The player will load the save of the player before him and play for 5 [B]ingame[/B] days, when he's finished he'll post the save along with a log of all the important events that happened during his/her turn.
Example:
[quote]Started off by mining some resources, found a bunch of iron and gold, made some iron armor, placed that in a chest just outside the house. Harvested the crops real quick and made an awesome little bunker near the wall. Creeper somehow got in halfway through my turn and put a sizable hole in the side of the castle, patched it up though so no harm done. -End
[U]DOWNLOAD LINK LOLOLOL[/U][/quote]
After the post is made, within the next two days the next person will download, load, play his turn, save and post so the next person can play.
[B]FAQ[/B]

[B]Rules[/B]
1. The difficult must be set at Normal at all times, you may use easy if your one of the first few to go.
2. Your turn will be timed. You have 5 INGAME days to do anything productive for the community fortress, build structures/mine for more resources, whatever you do must be productive in some way for your turn to be valid.
a. An ingame day is from when the sun is directly above you goes down, and then comes back up to being directly over you. Each Game day lasts roughly 15 minutes.
3. When your done with your turn, save your game, and post the save so the next person may download, load, and continue where you left off.
4. You make take 2 real world days to make your turn, if you fail to finish your turn within two days you will be skipped and the next player will resume from the last working save.
5. Any greifing will result in removal of your name from the list and your save will be tossed in favor of the last contributed save.

Island, Normal.
Huge, Island, Normal.
[editline]01:22AM[/editline]
Also, once we get started, may I go after you?
Ok, I know any sane MC player will be on a Normal Island, I figured that'd be it. I'm just giving people the illusion of choice here.
So. the map is an normal island. Go ahead and sign up, I'll make my turn and post it tomorrow.
Yup. I definitely want to go after you now.
Welcome to our new home guys.
[img]http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/9193/48124184.jpg[/img]
I'll go later.
Sign me up, and keep me at the bottom.
I'll go after Doomish.
I'll take a turn eventually.
Sign me up, I'll see if I can do anything.
Sign me up, I'd be glad to help.
I would like to sign-up.
How are things going?
By the end there will probably be a few hidden secret rooms. Should be interesting to see how it progresses.
I'll Sign up
Why not, sign me up. Can you PM the next person in line when their turn is up?
i'll sign up
[B]JUST A HEADS-UP;[/B]
I'll be unavailable the next, 6-8 hours, if it's my turn before this, feel free to take over, but keep my place somewhere where you think it'll fit.
I live in Sweden, it's night time, and I need my sleep.
Sorry it took so long, I had a uniform inspection, then I had a duty section muster, then I had to go to the galley for some chow.
Ok, here's what happened.
Assuming the hut door points north. To the north I built a large irrigated farm in a natural lagoon. I built a chest, furnace, and worktable, all are in the starter hut. I dug down and struck a extremely large cave system to the south east, a lot of which is unexplored, all areas I've explored have torches. There are large deposits of just about everything, some lava. Mined a bunch of coal and iron, as well as abit of diamond, made a Diamond Sword. put the rest in the chest. Farmed a bit. Cleared the forest around the base and planted a bunch of trees on a peninsula to the north west. Piled up all the building materials as well as lots of wood, a bunch of stone and a respectable amount of smelted iron in the chest. Monsters were a problem at night so I'd spend most nights in the mine looking around and mining. durning the day I'd go topside, pick up my stuff I left to smelt over night and working on the farm to the north, I made some bread and ate it, left over wheat is in the base chest. There's a chest at the farm with about 34 seeds.

Ofcourse, that was the plan from the start.

Um, your far down the list, plus you have 48 hours to actually take your turn.
before I go, what if we're down in our mines and when we come back up we THINK a day has passed but we aren't sure? Should we just go one more just in case?
Sure, I know it's hard to tell, just TRY to keep it within what you think is 5 days. Even if you die you can start over, and take your turn again as long as you meet the real world deadline.
I'll sign up, unless it's too late.
[editline]02:47AM[/editline]
Also, the clouds move south, so the hut door actually points west. That would also mean that the mine is north-east of the hut.
My turn is all finished, and I must say, it was fun!
[url=http://filesmelt.com/dl/communityprojectdoomishday5.mclevel]Save file[/url]
Here's what I did, in order:
[B]DAY 1[/B]
I mostly spent day one exploring the island until night fell and I went home. This was the first day I forgot about the crops (I remembered the second day, however)
[img]http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/6830/64223466.png[/img]
Started a basement in the spawnhouse. It's not very big right now and I patched up any material-starved tunnels I ran into, because it's more decorative than for materials in general. Immediately after this picture was taken a creeper wandered up and blew up the spawnhouse. I descended into the tunnels and hid out the rest of the night like a pussy.
[B]DAY 2[/B]
[img]http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/699/45360311.png[/img]
I rebuilt the spawnhouse using the cobblestone from mining out the basement. It is now much more creeper resistant. I spent most of the day exploring a cave I found. I found possibly the largest vein of gold I've ever found in Indev, which is a little sad because Gold is practically worthless. I took a snapshot of it before night fell in case you want to go there.
[img]http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/1011/45477853.png[/img]
I hollowed out the entrance. I don't recommend going there, however, because monsters started spawning in it like mad while I was there and I had to set the difficulty to peaceful for a few seconds to keep myself alive because they were literally EVERYWHERE I turned. I think I might have accidentally set the difficulty to hard when I started, but I made sure to set it back to medium after I left.
[img]http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9563/56443308.png[/img]
To accommodate for the shitload of gold I found, I made a few extra furnaces and mined a little more of those black rock things (I think it's coal, too lazy to check).
[B]DAY 3/4[/B]
These were the days I spent doing pretty much all the detail work.
[img]http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/8335/80092173.png[/img]
I made a cobblestone road leading to the crops. I ran out of seeds on day 3 and couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get more. I apologize for that.
[img]http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6830/93361249.png[/img]
I reorganized the chest and made it into a large one as well. I really dislike clutter. :v:
[img]http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2572/37610279.png[/img]
I went into the caves Ta16 mentioned and found a path with a ton of materials, most of which happened to be gold. I keep finding the stuff everywhere I go. I made a torchlit path to the mines so they're easy to spot. There are literally TONS of materials in there so be sure to go get some when you can.
[B]DAY 5[/B]
I spent most of the final day cleaning up the enemies wandering around, so I don't have much to post. This took off quite a bit of my health so I had to run back to the spawn and use up the bread I made. However, we're back where Ta16 was with the crops when I started, which isn't too much of a setback. I think some of the iron should be devoted to armor for the next user to go, as it's very helpful when picking off those few stragglers.
[img]http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/1089/42162470.png[/img][img]http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7436/16702296.png[/img]
I also compiled all the gold I had. I recommend it's either used for armor or decoration in the future. I also used the leftover cobblestone to build up another floor on the spawnhouse. Perhaps some horizontal building could take place in the future? After taking the final snapshot of the spawnhouse I went around and killed all the enemies I could find, with very little casualty or harm to myself.
[B]SUMMARY[/B]
-built some roads
-explored a new cave
-got my shit wrecked twice by enemies
-built up spawnhouse
-got tons of materials in gold
-found loads of ore veins
-went around the island and killed any sighted enemies
Spawnhouse as of now:

Ok, thread's updated with the latest turn information. Dragon1972 has been messaged.
Excellent run Doomish, I gotta say it looks really cool now, and your commentary was good. you get more seeds by either harvesting where it will drop 0-3 seeds, or using the hoe to turn random patches of grass into fields seeds will occasionally drop (don't worry it'll turn back to normal dirt/grass without water).
[QUOTE=The Winner;20967497]
Also, the clouds move south, so the hut door actually points west. That would also mean that the mine is north-east of the hut.[/QUOTE]
That's kinda odd since clouds move from west to east in real life. Oh well.

Ahhh, thank you, now I know for next time. :v:

[b]Summary[/b]
- Added LOTS of new floors.
- Added some paintings.
- Found some more iron, smelted it.
- Rebuilt twice creeper attacks.

Day 1: Didn't really do much, crafted some pickaxes and added on to the building somewhat.

Day 2: FFFFF-
[img]http://imgkk.com/i/eyk7.jpg[/img]
Day 3: Added onto the building.
[img]http://imgkk.com/i/ber8.jpg[/img]
Day 4: Added on more, now it's more of a hotel than a house.
Day 5: Found iron and smelted it.
Awesome, roster updated and the next player has been PMed. I think it's time to start expanding our fortress outside of the central building. Walls, more buildings, etc.
[B]Remember! Areas lit by torches won't spawn monsters.[/B] So technically we could make a fort fairly monster proof, as long as their lit and the walls are high enough that they don't jump over. But it's your turn and as the premise of this game is to do whatever you want in terms of contributing some how so just have fun!
[B]I'M BACK[/B]
Thank god, right in time.
Alright I'm still at school at the moment, when I get back I will immediately start building.
and back from school. time to crush, kill, destroy.
