@MarcoCeppi Can you put the server up?

Marco Ceppi

@RonanForman Yeah, I spent too much time fiddling with Mumble

Ronan Forman

Couldn't get it to work?

Marco Ceppi

not yet. I didn't do a manual install - which I should have. Instead I used what was in the Ubuntu archives. Results in a less-than-standard install :\

Ronan Forman

I'm guessing you can try re-installing atm

Marco Ceppi

I may

Wipqozn

17:25

Evening gents

@MarcoCeppi: Mumble issues?

Marco Ceppi

Same as always, locked myself out as admin :)

Wipqozn

oh, fun haah

I can't even use mumble anymore

before I couldn't run, and then I tried clean installing it... and I can't install it

very annoying

I poked around the internet before, but to not avail.

Might ask on super user when I get around to it

Ronan Forman

@MarcoCeppi How'd you manage that?

Marco Ceppi

Created a user certificate on a computer I don't use anymore/don't have access to

Where's the arena?

@RonanForman I got an error with your map

2012-02-05 17:28:29 [INFO] Preparing start region for level 0
Placed stronghold in INVALID biome at (33, 31)

Ronan Forman

What?

Marco Ceppi

17:33

I spawned in water with no structures around me on the server

Ronan Forman

dl.dropbox.com/u/895336/Spleef%20arena.rar

Try the right map.

Marco Ceppi

humpf, rar

Ronan Forman

Fine.

Wipqozn

ah .rar files

So useful, and yet, so annoying.

Marco Ceppi

tar.gz plz :)

Ronan Forman

17:37

I can't do .gz is .zip okay?

Wipqozn

Does Ubuntu not come in with a built tool to de-rar files @marco?

Marco Ceppi

@RonanForman yeah, zip is fine. Linux doesn not like rars

Ronan Forman

dl.dropbox.com/u/895336/Spleef%20arena.zip

Marco Ceppi

@Wipqozn There is "unrar-free" which was built to inflate rar files - but it's not by the WinRAR people

so it sucks

Ronan Forman

17:38

My auto archiver defaults to rar.

@MarcoCeppi That better?

I'm not sure why spawn is all the way over there.

Marco Ceppi

@RonanForman Spawn animals?

Ronan Forman

Don't mind. Might as well.

OrigamiRobot

18:59

Game On!

John

@OrigamiRobot Yay!

@RonanForman it's time! Come organize!

Ronan Forman

Coming.

OrigamiRobot

@John To @RonanForman, it's "organise"

John

@OrigamiRobot ...

OrigamiRobot

Brits hate "zeds"

Wipqozn

19:07

Hello gens

@RonanForman: Who is nosedrool?

Tristan

@Wipqozn I was wondering this as well.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn No idea.

He's a regular but I don't know.

Wipqozn

He doesn't seemt o know either l o l

Wipqozn

19:35

@MarcoCeppi: Is it a bukkit serveR?

Marco Ceppi

@Wipqozn nopE

Vanilla Minecraft server

Wipqozn

20:24

If you have any suggestions for next time, please make them a response to this message (and also ping @RonanForman)

Today's Game on!: Minecraft (Spleef)

Marco Ceppi

20:59

Is there lag on the server? I can't seem to log in

Tristan

@MarcoCeppi There was when I got on, but my internet also sucks.

Marco Ceppi

Guh, I can't log in to the server anymore :(

Looks like everyone is done playing anyways

I'll go ahead and shut it down then

Ronan Forman

@RonanForman I'll note down some of the ones mentioned in the game:
Bigger arenas (12x12)
More than 2 player arenas.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Don't forget to ping ronan in your message too.

murgatroid99

@RonanForman Also, glass arenas

Wipqozn

21:07

@Wipqozn @RonanForman Glass arenas for matches with 2 on top and 2 below

@murgatroid99 ah bah, damn you!

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn @RonanForman There are lots of spleef variations

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot This is where I got the idea for the two on top/two on bottom spleef. =P

Y'know... Cuz we were talking about it last night. >.>

Wipqozn

Multilayer or maze Spleef both seem like good variants

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Maze seems fun, but hard to rebuild

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it would be harder.

Tristan

21:14

@Wipqozn I really like the Dark Spleef.

OrigamiRobot

No jumping spleef would really mess up my strategies

Marco Ceppi

@OrigamiRobot I could just reset the map at the end of each event

OrigamiRobot

@MarcoCeppi Yea but if it's the same maze over and over....

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Yeah

Marco Ceppi

Oh, touche

Wipqozn

21:16

We would need to have multiple mazes

It's something to keep in mind

but you are correct, it would take awhile to do

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn maybe 5-6 and rotate through them before you reset the server

Marco Ceppi

What about a build off?

John

@Wipqozn Monster spawners over/under the arena.

@MarcoCeppi That sounds interesting.

I'll volunteer to judge. :P

Tristan

@John Do you know who that nosedrool girl was?

John

@Tristan I didn't think that was a girl...

Marco Ceppi

21:19

Or, what if we just made our own game up

John

But no.

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan slash prepubescent boy

John

@Tristan I talked him into getting Mumble a few weeks ago during CtW. I have no clue who he is.

Tristan

@John Really? They sounded distinctly female to me... And I could've sworn a husband was mentioned.

OrigamiRobot

@MarcoCeppi Like everyone build their own spleef arena?

John

21:20

@Tristan Dad....not husband...

@OrigamiRobot I wouldn't think they'd have to be arenas.

Tristan

@John Oh... Well, it was hard to hear them through the echo.

Marco Ceppi

@OrigamiRobot More like, provide a category, everyone goes and tries to build it in 30 mins

John

@Tristan Yeah...I think he was doing that on purpose.

OrigamiRobot

@MarcoCeppi ah, gotcha

John

@MarcoCeppi I like this.

Tristan

21:21

@MarcoCeppi Like a sandcastle contest at the beach! +1 from me.

Marco Ceppi

Like, the first word could be "fart" and everyone has to build that word in minecraft

John

@RonanForman Because I forgot to ping you with this earlier:
> Monster spawners over/under the arena.

@MarcoCeppi The...word?

I was thinking more of something that represents that word.

Marco Ceppi

as literal or figurative as you wanted

Wipqozn

@MarcoCeppi I was thinking the same thing

Marco Ceppi

You could write out fart, but that would be dumb

Tristan

21:22

@John Like a butt with a green cloud coming out of it? >.> Cuz that was the first thing I thought of.

Marco Ceppi

@John exactly

John

@Tristan Well, hopefully not that topic... >.>

Marco Ceppi

but you could interpret it however you wanted

Wipqozn

Category 1: Fluttershy
Category 2: Applejack
et cetera...

2

John

@Wipqozn downvotes

Marco Ceppi

21:23

NO MOAR BRONIES

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn You misspelled Fluttershy

Wipqozn

Also, @John, I should point out that if I was elected mod I wouldn't abuse my mod powers in chat.

John

@Wipqozn I don't believe you!

Marco Ceppi

I believe you

John

Though after today, I wouldn't be surprised if Ronan abused mod power...

:P

Wipqozn

21:24

@John Well, vote for me, and find out :P

John

I mean, he flooded the place with lava...

Wipqozn

@John Must have been after I left.

John

It was absolutely hilarious, but still.

@Wipqozn I think so.

Wipqozn

i hope it will be in the game on! video

John

Could someone cancel stars on old "Today's Game On!:" messages?

I would think that would be confusing for new people.

Thank you.

(If given room ownership, I volunteer to keep track of that.)

Stack Exchange

21:27

Wipqozn has added John to the list of this room's owners.

Wipqozn

@John

OrigamiRobot

I'm working on my version of a 12x12 4v4 standard arena

Marco Ceppi

I think there should be a huge arena and like 4v4

Wipqozn

@MarcoCeppi We'd need to have special blocks though.

The problem with larger arenas is you can get in a position where no one is within reach of anyone

and thus a stalemate occurs

so having blocks within jumping range which can't be destroyed (diamond or bedrock) would be required

Ronan Forman

@John I've been removing them when I see then.

OrigamiRobot

21:33

@Wipqozn Good idea. And a rule that if all other blocks are destroyed, its a draw

John

@Wipqozn @RonanForman Very good. Thanks.

Stack Exchange

Wipqozn has removed John from the list of this room's owners.

Wipqozn has added John to the list of this room's owners.

Wipqozn

oops

John

@Wipqozn You're evil.

Yeah "Ooops"

Wipqozn

@John That was actually an accident :P

John

21:35

Suuuuuure

Wipqozn

but yeah

you were quite helpful today

So thank you

John

@Wipqozn You're welcome. :)

And thanks to @RonanForman for building it all, and @MarcoCeppi for hosting it...

And...I guess... @Wipqozn for organizing.

Wipqozn

@RonanForman: We'll need to make a point to have chests with glass in them for the glass arenas.

also, food, brb

@John Yeah, I'm pretty awesome.

OrigamiRobot

Well, darn.

If you make a flat map, it only makes like 4 layers

John

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I was kinda disappointed with that mode.

OrigamiRobot

21:40

@John I was almost done with the structure of he arena and I dug though the bottom

John

@OrigamiRobot Of the arena?

OrigamiRobot

@John Yea

John

Ah.

OrigamiRobot

21:52

Boy planning the amount of space a redstone circuit will take is hard

OrigamiRobot

22:08

@RonanForman I made a self resetting circuit for the arena entrances

Ronan Forman

22:24

Is that different to what mine had?

John

22:38

@RonanForman Not requiring someone to hit the reset button? (CC @OrigamiRobot)

OrigamiRobot

@John @RonanForman this

Ronan Forman

Oohhh...

John

@RonanForman P.S. Pinging people usually gets responses faster.

@MarcoCeppi I know I am. :P

OrigamiRobot

23:51

@RonanForman ugh that was painful, but I finished.

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Finished what?

OrigamiRobot

@Tristan The 12x12 4v4 spleef arena with auto reset (not auto-refill)

Tristan

@OrigamiRobot Oh cool.
