Mcgrath is currently out of town, he'll be back in a few days.
[QUOTE=Reagy;52068532]I honestly wouldn't mind a landmarking plugin getting added to the server that can be used to add markers to dynmap.[/QUOTE]
dynmap already has a marker feature, but the markers aren't very obvious. I added one for spawn.
[QUOTE=Ott;52061473]Speaking of 2b2t, can someone explain this
[T]http://i.imgur.com/fQKXSFal.jpg[/T][/QUOTE]For some reason I thought you made the spy stream sniper video you posted which has a shout out to clyde. What ever happened to that resort that was being built on the peninsula south of spawn?
Yeah, mcgrath knows clyde/rbreslow irl. He didn't know about the old server dying and he doesn't seem to care for the new one.
Another thought, I currently have an issue with the idea of a park taking the horizontal strip of Spwn. My house is in the way, so don't do anything just yet, thanks. My GPU died and I need to replace it soon.

I know it does, I was talking about a plugin to allow for others to put down markers, from what I remember dynmap by default only allows for OPs to do that or via manual editing.

Then again I've not touched dynmap in years so its likely got more features than I remember.
I've taken some time to think about the train station issue, and I've realized that Sobot has been nothing but helpful in all other areas so far, despite his chunky medieval aesthetic.
So I'd like to propose a provisional stay on redevelopment for the Biggering train station at the north end of the financial district, along with that portion of rail. We don't really have a way to designate historical buildings, but I think I can work on something, as long as the station itself is modified to allow the passage of the road through it. We can talk that over later, but I'd actually like to offer that whole block as long as the road is accommodated.
I think it might be important to start considering spawn's history more carefully, however brief it may yet be, to avoid the wanton destruction of meaningful buildings and the ire of the community. I still think we should move ahead with the park project, but we definitely need to offer relocation or reimbursement before we start tearing things down. I think we should also work on moving Minimal's house, or at least its above-ground portion, into Oldtown for preservation before it gets totally erased.
Basically, I've been a prick, and I apologize. Let's all just try to work together.
There is also this building:
[url]http://184.171.161.162:8124/?worldname=world&mapname=flat&zoom=7&x=89&y=64&z=-368[/url]
Which any road would need to go around, unless we can move it.
Spawn seems a little... volatile atm
If people keep demolishing peoples shit without telling people it will put people off of building at spawn or off of building on the server.
In other news. Due to an unfortunate order mix up with my supplier (fishing overnight), I am inundated with a lot of saddles and other gear and I'm passing the crazy savings on to you! Pick up your free saddles etc at spawn today! Saddle Up!

I think the random destructions were kept to a minimum and it seems peace has been restored :) I don't think anyone wants to destroy anyone's stuff. We are just trying to figure out how to improve spawn
like I still think minimals stuff shouldn't have been demolished even though he is banned - all they've been replaced with is just grass and a few trees
how about build the skyscrapers above his house? so you have like an underhive fulla criminal skellingtons and warring gangs of creepers
Or build skyscrapers around it. Like in Disney's UP.

Ultimately we're just trying to figure out how to fix some issues that would prevent spawn from growing in a healthy way. Clearing plots and adjusting neighboring projects lets us subdivide that land and give more people the opportunity to build something.
The problem, and this is really something none of us saw coming, was that spawn grew a lot faster than we thought, and ended up surrounded by large building projects that, although they seemed reasonable at the time, have ended up basically blocking us from expanding anywhere except directly north. There are some places that have been abandoned which we'd like to remove and offer that space to people that could use it.
Our biggest problem was that we didn't establish any clear plan when the server launched, and now we're having to scramble to adapt while trying to keep spawn a vibrant place. We want it to be the first place people see, we want it to be impressive, and we want to inspire people to build there, but to do that without becoming just another sprawling ghost town that dies from the inside-out, we need to make sure that we have the infrastructure to support a community, and the boundaries to make sure nobody steps on anyone else's toes or causes issues for anyone else in the future.
I think what we're doing is genuinely a good thing, because there are some things that need to be cleaned up or changed if we want spawn to continue to improve and really become something of note. It's better to rip the bandaid off now and solve the problem, rather than let it fester and try to solve it later, once too much has been done. I think if we waited too long, trying to fix it would genuinely kill spawn for all but a handful of builders, like we saw last map after The Flattening.
But from now on, people will be notified if their buildings fall into the path of something we want to do, and we'll try to work out a solution that benefits both parties before we take any action. I don't think flagrant overuse of eminent domain is a good thing, and we definitely need to reel that in.
As spawn planners, I genuinely think we've failed the community, because we've been making all of these promises that we just can't keep with the way spawn's grown. I want to fix that so we can ensure the health and vitality of spawn for potentially years to come. I know that doesn't make the process any less uncomfortable, but if you just bear with us, I think we'll all be in a better place once we get things sorted out.

Those buildings were hardly anything of value, just needless clutter. They were clearly built for public use anyway.

You're the best, Sobot.
I'd still like to join, how may I prove myself?
I was just talking to 1 Duck about the possibility of reserving a plot at spawn. I need a minimum of 28x42 blocks of space for my building.

It was originally intended to be a courthouse but, since spawn already sort of has one it can be re-purposed as a library, museum, or any sort of public works. Just let me know! -IG name RoadKill3197
Just tried boating to a mushroom biome, saw it on the map, got nearby to find out it's beyond the border ):

That's gorgeous, by the way, Roadkill.

It's the server borders, not minecraft borders. It's just so players don't go 40,000 blocks from spawn and start building crap in super seclusion.
somebody asked me to extend the ＢＯＮＥＺＯＮＥ line east a bit to connect up their base, and this gave me an idea since it might see more traffic and stuff
I'm going to name the special service going east (via the ＢＯＮＥＺＯＮＥ) the ＢＯＮＥＴＲＡＩＮ
Would anybody here to ride the ＢＯＮＥＴＲＡＩＮ?
