This is not Blockland. Why did you have to remind me of Blockland.

Okay, this is fun. We need more VIPPERs.

I had to destroy a few walls and such to make this. I hope you don't mind.

>>7151
Blockland was so cool.

I tried Minecraft, but it's just not the same. You can't do nearly as many cool stuff as you could with Blockland.

The highway is, more or less, complete.

Many interesting VIPPERs making very VIP pieces of scenery.

Also, if someone could finish Mt. JEWS, that would be great.

I met a friend today while exploring VIPland. Was it YOU?

Someone flooded my Jewish dungeon. Who flooded my Jewish dungeon.

I initially wanted to cause random destruction, and I did for a time, but now I'm overcome by a need to create.

Whoop! Phase 1 of Mt. JEWS is complete!

I'm on.

Tablecat is too big !

VIP QUALITY Prism

>>7179

OP here, glad to see all the VIP quality structures. If anybody wants to host a more reliable server than mine, go for it--just ask and I'll post the server_level.dat file so we don't have to start the level all over.

Construction on floating Jew Island is partially complete.

It is parked right next to Mt. Jew because Jews can't part with their gold.

It only makes much sense.

I thought JEWS were not SAoVQ Quality.

I can't connect anymore. ;_;

What happened to the server?

>>7185
Same here.
It happened to me yesterday, too. It was back after an hour or so.

I have a free account, am logged in, but clicking the link bring a random map. Is it due to its being down as others have said?

yeah looks like servers down.
Shame, wanted to work on the vip mansion ;__;

Yeah, sorry about the server downtime guys. Once again, if anybody wants to host a more reliable server, here's the server level file (as of right now, of course.)

The VIP reading room

Stairway to heaven complete!

>>7217
FABULOUS

HENRY BOX CO?

I met three friendly VIPPERs there, some wanted to give me a tour of the VIP Mansion, but alas the server was cursed and booted us off every time we came near ;_;
At least I managed to build a VIPMAZE and a COOL rooftop where I stand.
There sure are a lot of talented builders on the server!

I'm going to build a giant canopy over this entire world and cover it in darkness. (Just b/c I'm curious as to what that would look like) :3

Someone should make a boon skin!

You meet some interesting VIPPERs there!
I talked to the admin in-game and will see if I can host, I have a decent connection and more spare old computers than it is reasonable to have.

>>7227

I have confirmed that there are at least 10 different VIPPERS. This is 9 more than I originally expected.

>>7228
We are all constructs of your solipsistic mind.

>>7228
I'm about to create an account and join.

I made an okay boon skin. Could use improvement:
http://minecraft.net/skin/skin.jsp?user=shobon

Great job on the floating castle VIPPERs!

For >>7227 or anybody else who decides to host, the server_level.dat file is now available here:
ftp://bivab.ath.cx/
It should always be the latest version.

>>7240
I said I'd "prepare" the zone for another VIPPER, but we were 3 of us and got really way to enthusiastic about "preparing".

I would just like to make sure if the level file is regularly updated and archived.

>>7263
It's regularly updated, but not archived -- I manually make a backup copy every now and then but there's no automated backups.

After the better part of a week, I managed to pay DADDYCOOL enough for this wonderful portrait

>>7274
It's better in person! Pay us a visit if you haven't already. We'll get drunk at this newly-opened VIPSTAR Lounge.

(make sure to check this thread for a new server URL before building anything!)

The Chamber is complete. Please do not interfere with the Chamber.

I accidentally flooded someone's quarters. I hope that I have cleaned it up well enough that the poor VIPPER will not realise that it was his house that was underwater.

arf arf

arf improved

>>7290

deer sir... marvellous work.

I'm sorry, I unintentionally inundated the stairway to heaven a few days ago. Please do not remove the outer layer of sponges until I or a charitable soul finishes inserting a better foundation of sponges one block away from view on both sides.

I gave a new toy to maiddog.png

I hope that she will enjoy it

I deflooded the VIP lounge since I assumed it wasn't flooded on purpose.

Also, whoever made the Godel Escher Bach cube: I love you.

>>7334
Aww, how did they manage? After all the sponges I put around it ;_;
Well, thanks.

Is the replacement server still needed? I'm the one who offered, but shamefully, unpleasant issues kept me from finding the time to do what's necessary to guarantee better uptime than the current server.

ぬるぽ is complete.

>>7337
If it's convenient for you (or anybody else) to host, then by all means go for it, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. My server is still unreliable, but it seems people have been working around it nonetheless.

I overflowed the tanasinn chamber with lava today.
I managed to fix it according to my memory, though some things may be broken or submerged in lava.

Sorry about not keeping my promise to host, but had I done it I would not have been able to guarantee better uptime than the current server (not because of random connection drops, but because issues took me away from the physical location of the server.)
Since in about 3 weeks I would have to go away again, I don't think it's worth troubling you all with swapping files and changing URLs temporarily.
Apologies everyone.

Hidden underground beneath this unassuming glass structure lies a vicious challenge of manliness, that every VIPPER is hereby dared to undertake.

Rules:

1. No building or destroying whatsoever.
2. If you touch a red block, you must restart the level.
3. If you really must cheat by using scaffolds, please make them of a different kind of block and make sure to destroy them once you are done being unmanly.

>>7470
A+++ would challenge again!

>>7471
Who's that?

>>7472
It's wwwww. The level design was very impressive. At some points I was reminded of playing Portal.

Too nice words about a bunch of blocks added at random, but thanks. Actually I'm not >>7472, so who are you, mysterious asker?
And most importantly, have you proven your manliness?

I have proven my manliness today.

bump~

I wish I could overcome my shyness and join the server to play with fellow vippers and build VIP quality structures.

>>7604
Don't worry, it'll be alright. I was anxious at first, too, but then I realised that I am among VIPPERs and there's nothing to fear.

>>7604
Don't worry, it will be alright. It's a miracle if there is two or more users at the same time.

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!

>>7619
High density of VIP.

>>7619

ಥ_ಥ Beautiful.

>>7619
Nice!
I really wanted to do it, but I didn't manage to get that software to work.

Using >>7619's picture, I've started this map: http://tanasinn.info/wiki/VIP_City#Map

Please help! (Use the talk page if uncomfortable with wiki syntax. Remember, tanasinn.info does not displays users' IPs)

（；∀；） Seeing the things I created on this map gives me more joy than anything else in life could at the moment.
I now truly sense what it means to be a VIPPER.
VIPPER...
SAoVQ...
I love you.

>>7629
Somebody should make a Pax-Tsukuru headquarters so we can keep it off the map.

>>7635
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I think this needs an obligatory JEWS

welcome to the SECRET JEW UNDERGROUND LAVA DUEL ARENA CAVERN located conveniently under the SECRET JEW UNDERGROUND LIBRARY BAZAAR CAVERN, right under the SHOP NEXT TO THE JEWS SIGN ON THE GROUND next to the COLORFUL PRISM IN >>7179

>>7678
I don't get it.

>>7680
Oh, ok. I'm sorry.

I looked for >>7678 for ages, unsuccessfully, until I realized that the shop in question is not by the prism in >>7179, but by a different, more recently constructed prism.

I have created a glass tower with a spiral staircase up to the top. A chute runs down the center, allowing for a quick exit.

Stand at the bottom-right of Tetris. Follow the path underground. When you come to a fork, turn right. There you will see the first wonder. Just ahead, you will see the second wonder.

hey vippers, if you have some free time come visit the vip blimp complete with windows! And a mass effect generator.

>>7693
What is this supposed to be?

>>7695
Fire. Bursting out from the blimp.

>>7695
It is a rocket propelled blimp.

>>7233
How to use?

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!

>>7739
ｶﾞｯ！

>>7739
Where is this room? The JEWS room isn't very deep and it's visible from the surface, but I can't find the ぬるぽ one.

This is the extension to >>7678. Please note that the secret entrance, SHOP NEXT TO THE JEWS SIGN ON THE GROUND, is right in front of tablecat

>>7760
diff

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!

The best thing about /infdev is the giant trees ripe for lumberjacking. But sometimes axes are too slow.

>>7778
Is it worth it to purchase the minecraft?

ユダヤ人!

>>7814
Absolutely. I was anxious at first, but I don't regret it. The fact that it's only like $10 also helps.

>>7814
I bought it more to support the developer than for the extra features, though I do think it was worth the money. If you're a poor VIPPER though, you could just wait for Notch to replace the public versions with indev/infdev.

If you're a poor VIPPER that will help me with my remote Amish farm in multiplayer, I can fund the game for you.

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!

>>7825
This is an interesting proposition. Please continue

Please e-mail your VIPPER in-game name to JWasteland@gmail.com and you will get COOL FREE MINECRAFTS. I can pay for one VIPPER, perhaps two if tomorrow is a good day.

I tried to upload a new version of the isometric map to tanasinn, but I failed. Could somebody else please update it?

The flag has been restored from various vandalisms.

Here's a horrible Hatsune Miku skin I made!

>>7843
Done. Did you make an account? It's required to upload pictures, (but not to edit). If you tried with an account but still encountered a problem you can notify the admin: http://tanasinn.info/index.php?title=User_talk:Halcy&action=edit&section=new

>>7849
I figured out, that my browser was at fault. After cleaning the cache, the map showed up fine.
>>7946
It's far from horrible, fellow VIPPER! You should consider using the extra head textures for hair. Also, try SkinEdit. Its a tool which allows you to edit your skins and to have a realtime 3d preview while doing so: http://solidfiles.com/d/rGkS

I expanded the server on two sides so we now have a bit more room to build. The bad news is that this expansion resulted in some flooding which I was unable to hold off, most notably in the Daddy Cool chamber. At least we now have two giant empty chambers of water to build in--expand as you please.

>>7851
Oh, thank you! Do you know any places where there are a lot of minecraft skins?

Gentlemen, I give you the Daddycool-class VIPLiner

>>7855
Beautiful! And that screenshot reminds me, I'm not too experienced with level editing so I'm not sure why that giant uneditable cavern appeared. It's not really hurting anything but if anybody knows how to get rid of it, that would be great.

Today was my first visit to VIPland.

What I saw was beautiful.

I shall return.

>>7856
Did you already try to fill it/delete the adminium blocks in a level editor (like OMEN)? If this doesn't work, it could be, because of a weird map size. I once created a huge ocean and ran into a similar problem, keeping the map dimensions to powers of two solved it.

Some VIPPERs decided to make the Challenge of Manliness user-friendly. It has been restored to mint condition. And by "mint" I mean a "flames of hell" kind of freshness.
Also, you can visit two new restaurants at the VIPstar Lounge.

Anyway, the expansion calls for a SECRET UNDEGROUND CITY.

Thanks, >>7860, changing the dimensions to powers of 2 only fixed it. Also, when I have more time I might look into adding more ground to the gigantic ocean since I know clearing out a ton of water can be a pain.

Welcome, all, to JEW ISLAND!

Coming Soon: Grass!

>>7868
HoWmUcH dId you pay for that island?

>>7877
Approximately 7 units of golds per minecraft unit

>>7868
Deep under JEW ISLAND, we find the JEWISH SUPERDOME, the secret meeting place of the world's jewish leaders.

>>7881
I built a similar place today, where the nemesises of JEWS (no nazis plz) counter plot.
It is even more secret, so I won't disclose its location.

DAMN THAT'S A LOT OF FUCKING WATER

I loaded the VIP City today after a long hiatus and I wwww'd at the secret room in the JEWS chamber.

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!

>>7894
Best thing on the internet right now

>>7894
This made me so happy I almost cried.

>>7894
Awesome.

I feel so much better now that my beloved flowers are safe in the Secret Sponge Society Vault!

I have built a map-wide grass distribution service (that will also serve >>7903's flowers) along the edge of the map. It might take a few days for the grass to grow. Once it has propagated, do not hesitate to destroy parts of it as they become unnecessary.

How about a round of VIPCHESS?

• you have to make your own pieces.

Yaranaika municipal monument has been completed.

>>7920
Sensors indicate high levels of VIP QUALITY.

ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!

Well, somewhat, a Balrog.

I have no life and James does not approve it.

I'm seriously impressed... Just how much time does it take to make something like that yaranaika thing with the flying penis?

I jumped back onto the server after a month of absence and I wanted to find my third, underground, ruined tower. I've been looking for some time, until I looked at this construction from the outside.

I love you guys.

A VIP Rainbow Slide.

RIght by the VIP Lounge.

>>8047
That is just another tower with spiral staircase.

>>8048
But it uses stairs and protects you from falling down, so that you can boon at maximum speed.

>>8049

After constructing a large underground structure I have reached an conundrum. I desire the building to be (hopefully) waterproof but If I leave the ceiling full of lava that could instead flood the building. Should I go through the arduous process of removing the lava, or rather keep a layer of water bounded by sponges to neutralize the lava (this would take up a lot of real estate)?

>>8086
It sounds like removing the lava would be the VIP thing to do, however difficult as it may be.

>>8086
I don't think it would take up any extra real estate if you built a ceiling of water inside the structure (keeping the water magically suspended using sponges.)

>>8097
QUALITY representation here.

whoops

I've just realized I'd need to remove all the lava in the walls and ceiling to prevent a lava flood, so I'm going with the monolayer of water instead.

>>7778
Hello VIPPER how do you fly in in(f)dev? Does the world of minecraft client somehow work with it? Or did you just make a stack of blocks to stand on in that screenshot?

>>8117
As far as I know, nobody's made a custom client that works with indev or infdev. In the screenshot I'm just standing on a stack of sand blocks.

>>8117
The World of Minecraft client allows one to fly. 'z' toggles flight. I have included with this post a version I grabbed from 7chan a little while back, which I edited slightly to include a script to run it under Linux, a slightly expanded readme, and minecraft.jar. (Which is questionably legal.)

>>8119
I don't think that can connect to indev or infdev, which was the whole point of >>8117's question.

Are we still doing this stuff?

>>8240
Judging by the server logs, the amount of users has slowed down, but people do still log in from time to time. The server still has the problem of being unreliable though.

Notch added dynamic water to infdev! Although the water physics makes little sense, making watervators is now fun and easy.

It was fun when it was smaller.

>>8248
Although I love the additions, I have to agree. Maybe, with a bit of work, we could expand the main island so that it looks more finished? Its much harder to build something decent without having ground to build.

Apologies for all the server downtime, I'm physically removed from my server so I don't know what's wrong with it. I'm going to move it to a server that should be more reliable. I'll start a new thread once the move is complete so the correct link will be at the top.

Regarding the large size: I apologize if the ridiculous ocean expansion made minecraft less fun. I debated expanding for that reason, but in the end I think the additions like the SSS Vault made the expansion worth it. And at this point it's hard for me to do something about it (like adding more ground in a level editor) without messing up somebody's stuff.

However, the new server will run OpenCraft, which has the ability to switch between multiple worlds, so we could create a new, smaller world for VIPPERS who don't like the large, crowded one. I'm not sure if VIPPERS are still interested in Minecraft at all, but please post opinions or ideas for the future of the VIP Minecraft Server if you have any.

ETA?

Mine craft is good. During the downtime I have spent a good deal of my free time on a friends server.

>>8288
ETA: The new server would have been ready yesterday, but I can't get OpenCraft to read the server level file (though it claims to support it.) I might just go with the old server software if I can't get it to work soon. In either case it should be up in less than a week.

Bad news: After many headache-inducing hours of screwing around with different custom servers, I couldn't get any of them to work with FreeNAS so I eventually gave up and went back to the old server software.

Good news: The VIP Minecraft Server is back up, and now hosted on a slightly more reliable server. The link is the same as before. Let's Minecrafting!

As always, if somebody wants to take over hosting with a more reliable machine, go for it. The latest version of the level file will always be available at http://bivab.ath.cx/server_level.dat (unless the server's down.)

VIP sea patrol.
