hey guys, i'm mainly just testing to see if my internet can handle this. I probably can't do any PvP because of lag, but I can mine stuff and do grunt work!

Pro tip guys:
Get lava or dig a huge hole.
When someone raids You and things look grim, go have a swim.
Nothing more irratiating than losing stuff and gaining nothing.

Actually, yeah, magma would be really useful. Especially since we'll want to be claiming most of our land in the middle of the ocean; water + magma does interesting stuff we'll be able to play with.

Lets move to that island and start our farms or whatever. I'll be on tonight and we can get to work on our underwater base! :D

Also, if we put the back of our fortress to the edge of the world, that's one less front that we can be attacked from.

We have a lot of good things going on with the rebuilding!
Things to do imo:
- Coordinate with iGrok about the farm
-Organize the hell out of the mines
-Get some more shafts going

I can do mine/tunnel organization. I can get pretty anal about it. Also, as long as I have enough sticks, I can mine forever. During the first assault from Exodites, I was mining the whole time. I came back with full iron armor, diamond chest piece, and a diamond sword and shat on the people that were there attacking.

Farm is up and running. Wheat takes FOREVER to grow, which is why we'll do it in bulk. Need to buy some more seeds somehow.

I'm currently organizing our storage.

how do i hook up with you guys in game?

I tried '/f home' but it told me I wasn't part of any faction(I thought BB added me in)

I'd be happy to root for seeds in the tall grass if you need someone to do it.

Can you make Dwarf Fortress-esque traps in Minecraft?

(Are there limits besides your imagination?)

There are some limitations, but not many. Pistons make all kinds of stuff possible. The one danger of traps is that someone's going to set them off sooner or later, and Murphy's Law states it will be the guy who's coming back from a mining trip with 30 diamonds.

Honestly, I think we just have an iron door that only opens from the inside. We can always /f home into bases easily, so having only a 1-way door seems the best course for us right now.

For now tho, we're at peace with everyone, and starting to broker alliances with factions like Loners, etc. I think we establish ourselves as a powerful faction who it's good to ally with now. Also, we need to get our farming economy up fast, we're all starving lol.
