What effects?!
[QUOTE=Incoming.;48434035]What effects?![/QUOTE]
Looks like a bunch of compression artifacts that make everything too blurry to see. It sort of looks like you were going for the VHS look, but it just kind of looked bad. For reference on good fake VHS, look at this.

Key difference: That was made over probably a couple weeks, this was made overnight by someone who just recently started using the software. Oh, I also got a couple VHS tapes of NASCAR from 1989-1990, and they dont always look like that classic distortion. It could get pretty blocky as well and look almost like bad compression. At the same time, most artifacts start because of 3 reasons: Quality of the original tape, storage conditions, and age [you could consider pure luck a 4th element]. The video above wasn't supposed to look 30 years old.
Trying to explain [I]WHY[/I] the video distorts ruins half the fun for me though, no matter if its obvious for others or not.
I think I'm catching the editing drift, though. Last one took the same amount of time for about 30 second of content, this was a bit more lengthy.

Basically, if you're going to make something and don't have a lot of resources to work with, don't go for a style that's difficult to reproduce and looks ugly if you mess it up. Trying to make something intentionally look bad in a stylistic way, but not being able to fully produce the effect, just looks awful.

Just giving some criticism.

[B][U]COME TO NOT VERY SUNNY SQUIDMURDER![/U][/B]
I'm offering 7 10x16 lots under Squidmurder for people to build houses on FOR FREE, no particular style needs to be followed, just use common sense and make it look nice. However, there is 4 rules that need to be followed
1. No building outside of your lot.
2. No roofs, buildings must touch the ceiling
3. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT MAKE DRASTIC CHANGES TO ANY PARTS OF THE MOB GRINDER THAT TOUCHES YOUR PROPERTY. not only will water get everywhere, but guardians can fit though 1x1 holes and will spread chaos and eye lazers everywhere, you don't want that, trust me. It's happened to me a few times, learn from my mistakes. EYES LASERS ARE NOT FUN ESPECIALLY IN MASS.
4. Just to contradict rule 1, you are allowed to 1 block of extra space to add decorations to your home's exterior walls (banners, torches ect) only no-no is that they can't obstruct the path around your house and can not touch anyone else's house eg a banner next to someone else's wall is fine but a staircase isn't.
Aside from that, go nuts! You can make your basement as deep as you want, I encourage you to use sea lanterns but other forms of lighting are fine. If you need resources you can get Spruce, Birch and Oak wood from the tree farm and raid my house for stuff, I have tons of junk you can use.
[B][U]HOW DO I GET TO THE TEMPLE OF THE MURDERED SQUID?[/U][/B]
There are two ways
the quickest and easiest way is to head to the spawn portal in the nether and follow the signs to the enclosed path that goes to Squidmurder, easy and safe!
However, if you don't have access to the nether/too far away from nether spawn, you can take the longer surface route to head to Tree farm Island @ X:1050 Z: 2550. enter the building and head down the stairs to see the planned underwater subway, then ether take a minecart or walk in to reach the Temple!

[B][U]DON'T WAIT, COME VISIT TODAY! PLEASE I'M VERY LONELY AND ALL I HEAR AT NIGHT IS THE SOUNDS OF HUNDREDS OF GUARDIANS TRYING TO KILL ME! I'VE KILL THEIR ELDERS AND THEY WANT THEIR VENGEANCE! BUT I FIGHT BACK, I TURN THEIR BODIES INTO FANCY BLOCKS AND LIGHTS, I CONSUME THEIR FISHY FLESH! PLEASE JOIN ME IN THIS AMAZING OMEGA 3 TASING HELL! [/U][/B]

Btw you don't need to ask permission or anything just start building.

I don't know about the bartender, but the map was done by a lightning strike. :v:
[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;48426784]someone stole about ~2/3s of my food supply, there was a sign from "sloff the troll" nearby...[/QUOTE]
I didn't steal any food
I only ever steal food if desperately needed (and honestly i don't even remember) but i sure as hell didn't steal that much
unless your entire food supply was about 3 carrots or something

Holy shit, you have to be kidding me... Wooooow. Eh, thanks anyway, I'll just build new maps.
[editline]11th August 2015[/editline]
Map has been restored and a new bartender has been hired. This one is far better than the last two, he has shiny armor. He has a hard time picking up a vial of the hard stuff though.
The bartenders are zombies, right?
Wouldn't they probably disappear after a while anyway?
Name tagged critters aren't supposed to despawn.
Sometimes they do because notchcode.
If a mob picks up player items from the floor, they'll not despawn, I know this cause I've still got my little prison of villager zombies that I gave stuff like sticks and random little items like that.
Saw there was some damage that someone fixed in Squidmurder. Thanks to whoever fixed it, I tidied it up. I'll keep the coloured glass tho, it looks pretty.
[editline]13th August 2015[/editline]
Also I won't be on as much now due to University.
I just clipped into a block underwater, couldn't escape, began suffocating, then got kicked for flying. I can't reconnect now. Could an admin somehow teleport me to spawn or something so that I can like, play the game?
I'd need to know what error you were getting when reconnecting to solve anything directly. For now I've just wiped a few logging related things. If you still cannot connect I may be forced to wipe your player data (which will clear your inventory).

It worked, thanks. I reconnected inside the cobble and died, but I was able to get back all my items. I lost about 24 levels, but it worked out.
fucking shit, I lost my diamonds when I was working on a new storage area. A creeper blew up near me and apparently the blast can destroy stuff in your inventory because I lost them :(
Can I get white listed? My IGN is TraderRager
I Improved spawn a bit around the pier.
Who is making this big train station in the desert near spawn? I wanna help if its not abandoned.
May I be whitelisted? Name is PeskyKiller I believe

I forget who made it, but it is very much active and not abandoned.
Hey Saturn if u see this, woolio told me to ask you access to your town.
Love Minimal
Hey Minimal, didn't see this until now; I was sleeping for a while earlier and I'll be going back to bed soon. Of course you're welcome to build in Vokzal if you follow the rules, although the island is super crowded right now so we carefully control which projects get approved. If you're building a house, you can get started immediately building it on the southwest corner of the island, the part that's separated by a river that has the tiny bridge crossing it. If it's a larger project you have in mind, it's going to take some coordinating with either me or Woolio.

That line takes 7.5 minutes to ride... I assume there's no real way to cut that down besides some sort of slanting black magic

If people just made rail lines in the nether rather than the overworld, transit would be a lot faster.

I don't see what's disagreeable about this. It's correct. You can even have systems to automatically eject people and shove them into a nether portal to plop them into the overworld.
