Well, if I'm in the running, I guess I'll run. :p
I'm pretty new to the clan, though.

Server is up for the massive teambuild. PM me and I'll give you the pass.

Also, I've been working with SA today on their newest group build, and they said they could take some other people as well. Ask Afkpuz about it if you are in USSR.
It's not a simple build. Very, very, very interesting, and large.
Currently Cheesecake took his dedicated down; apparently muffin only told him to put it up for the weekend, and he needs his box for work. We're working on resolving this now; I'll PM you the pass when it's up.

Nah, not really.
I've never even seen him in-game, come to think of it.
I think a lot of people play this game hard for like a month and then break for a lot longer; not sure why that is.

we have a 2x2 round section, which could be easily enlarged to a 4x4 round section to make lovey greek columns and the like.
On that note, maybe an indented, traditional column set in 2x2 and 4x4, although both of these would be poly-intensive and could only be used sparingly. They would look so cool though, and open up a lot of possibilities.

Oh god why was that video so spastic.
Yeah, once again, it looks like you spent a fair amount of time detailing parts of this, which is nice. What it comes down to though is the build fitting together to become a cohesive whole; unfortunately this kinda fails to do so.

Well.
Costly mistake I suppose.
I just tooled around the correct app. It's all right, not really USSR material.
There's a difference between detail and attention to detail. Focus on the latter.
You do some cool stuff with bricks, I guess, but... meh. I'm sure this took you forever, so I hate to do that to you, but... meh.

We should do a clan build. I am 100% for this.
After seeing how well goonstation 2 worked out, even with its limited visual vocabulary, I'd be pumped to try a more ambitious station.
If we're going to do this, what we need is a passworded server so we don't get eTards or trust issues, and so anyone can log and work on it. Also for the mystery. :D
Anti and I haven't made much headway on our build sofar, mostly because I am an unpredictable bastard (sorry) and we don't have too much time to meet. One of our ideas was to make it a dark hodge-podge of architectural elements, so if you're all right with it, Anti, it could make a good teambuild as well. It hasn't been done before, and I think the ideas are hell of cool.

I gotta agree, chill with us in-game.
The build looks good, you have a good sense of detail; my only comment would be to focus on overall asthetic form with the same intensity you put into the detail; however, this is something I'm particularly focused on, so I'm biased.
I can identify with you with the fort wars server, though. I can't figure out why, but every time I go in there I get unspeakable visual lag (ping is fine.) I've moved around to figure out where it's coming from, and it seems to be in the middle of the bedroom... but there's nothing in the middle of the bedroom. It is a mystery.

That looks awesome. That maroon is so underused.
Dammit, I missed out on this teambuild discussion, can someone pm me and fill me in or something?

Drama / Re: Blockland is dying
« on: September 08, 2007, 08:58:43 PM »
Why can't you buy retail, OP?
It strikes me as fairly ironic that someone like yourself, with the ability to type a long, punctuated, well-formed message, and with the ability to obviously understand some code, can't shell out a twenty. I mean no offense, I'm just kinda curious.
That said, I've been through (most of) this drama, and I have to say that I think TBM and the first RTB and 0002 are kind of water under the bridge. The tenacity of the TBM guys totally amazes me, but it seems pretty dumb to re-invent an entire game just to perpetuate some drama. RTB original is old, and fairly obsolete. I loaded up 0002 at a lan party once or twice for laughs but I don't think anyone plays it seriously anymore. I'm decently sure that most people have moved on from all this rivalry onto retail. Could be my perspective is skewed as well though, who knows.

Crap I don't check this enough I suppose.
Uh yeah, as of a few hours ago Blue has autobanned himself from SomethingAwful with a final "panda this" sort of message.
Yeah, he was high a lot, which was cool, but he was progressively more and more of a control freak with his servers which pissed off a lot of people. Us goons like to keep a build around for a good while (this is how cool stuff like the goonstation projects happen,) and he began changing up the server almost with the tide, regrettably never hosting any saves. He also enacted a few high-profile, contraversial bans. This, combined with his already laggy servers (I regularly built while pinging in at like 1000) drove people to greener pastures so to speak.
In other words he started banning for ice creams and giggles, sorry you happened to be in the spray :p
I have a few saves, including the most recent iteration of goonstation 2, if anyone wants to see our recent uberbuild; Blue didn't release any saves with his departure though, so we've probably lost a great many good builds. Andy is taking over the role of main server (good guy) and I presume that in the next few days we'll collect what we can.
God dammit everything I write on the internet is long.
edit: oh yeah, Andy appears to be taking over the role of our main server; he's a good guy, things should settle down dramaz-wise.
