Deepforge, possibly the longest standing 2b2t settlement.
32 replies, posted
Deepforge, starting late in July, several citizens of Boatmurdered departed their fair city to start anew, further out in the wilderness. They traveled for hours until reaching land they could call home. What began as the town of Forge, so named for the initial use of massive amounts of furnaces to mold our stone buildings, eventually thrived. Some left, others arrived. Names such as PoliceMike55, Popbob, McShmeggy, Mindule, Wilko, and KiwiWololo came and went. Eventually we broke into a ravine rich in minerals and space. At my behest we began to transition ourselves back below the surface, as we once had done in Boatmurdered. We were dwarves at heart with heart that yearned for the stone.
And so we dug, and molded the ravines to our will, we tiered them thrice, we allotted space for all who may come. But, over the time, few came. and fewer stayed. The months rolled by and eventually only two stayed. Myself, and Kiwi. So updates came and went, we began to emerge from our depths, for the first time in nearly 4 months I say that square sun, in that awful blue sky. And I began to build a tower to the heavens from which I could see all who may approach. It was built, and it was good. A garden atop it, stone from hell itself adorning it while my mechanized golems patrolled it's heights. It was perfect, but also lonely. So I decided to forsake the rituals of invitation and spam the coordinates among the highest winds for all to hear and all to come. But before that I would document what I had wrought here. What with the hands of several men built longingly, and kept safe for so long. Here lies Deepfore July 28th 2011-March 30th 2012
pictures below are from the Sky-garden.

This is the Temple.

Construction on the Temple ended nearly 2 whole months after work on the ravine started.

So tell me what you think.
Coords are 34693x by -19976z. Go find it and live there today!
Those pictures are massive. Great place.
If you want this to continue being the longest surviving settlement, you shouldn't have revealed the coordinates. Just saying.
That settlement is going to be craters by the morning now that you've revealed the coords.
I don't know why you would reveal the coords then.
Blow it up yourself. Save your pride!
There are probably longer surviving settlements underground.
Its the only really safe place to build stuff.

There's no such thing as [I]safe[/I] on 2b2t.
[QUOTE=Within;35362992]There's no such thing as [I]safe[/I] on 2b2t.[/QUOTE]
By not logging in it is safe!
Well at least you have those pictures to remember it by.
Revealing the coordinates has sealed the inevitable fate of this settlement. The same fate that falls upon anything in 2b2t.
Cool but, did you really need to make your own thread?

They hack your account, log in with your guy, build stuff, and then log back onto their guy [I]just to destroy itttt...[/I]

What if you don't use electricity??
I thought Facepunche's presence 2b2t was completely dead after the "Great Culling" by the guy who was constantly hacking and the "The Scattering" that happened soon after. I still wonder if anyone found my Golden Record hidden deep within one of the ruined bases.
Well it's not the longest standing. There was a 4chan town that survived:
January 24th 2010-JANUARY 13th 2012

Does 4chan have a time machine?
[QUOTE=cdr248;35365867]Does 4chan have a time machine?[/QUOTE]
Oh fuck sorry, it was January. It's not like I have all these dates memorized in my head.
It's a bit funny because it was destroyed on the same month it was created.

Did you happen to hide it inside of a dungeon? Because I think I found it.

Don't records spawn within dungeons naturally?
Disappointed to see my chat didn't make it into any of the screenshots. Really cool base, though.
And then somebody makes a big raiding team to destroy Deepforge
But the coordinates just lead to a shack in the middle of the desert
Which stands above an enormous pile of TNT
guys, coords are fake to divert people serious about actually destroying it, I found out the OP was lying.
real coords are -56196x 42576z, enjoy
Even if it was lonely, bring select people. People are going to raid the shit out of your settlement now.
It seems people aren't quite so quick on destroying things nowadays, i've had a base under 5000 for at least a few months now, that none has found. So, I suspect this one will still stay even after the coords are revealed, might make a trip over there though and see it for myself, looks quite impressive.
I revealed the coords hoping someone would come, I care not whether they stay and help, or destroy it...
I got on to blow it up but the server is full of so many try-hards that I couldn't even stick around for ten minutes.
Me and friend just went there, didn't grief it but looted it :p. Very impressive place, I don't have a clue what you were trying to do with that zombie spawner and redstone contraption tho :S
get rid of the coordinates quick
Wait, are you the guy who did the Great Dwarven Spawn Cage? It was around December last year, me, Kaameron and two others trapped everyone inside spawn. I'm pretty sure you were the other one, right? I gave you a crown.
This is the coolest fucking base I've ever seen, well done.
