    Ein, I've been trying to PM you but your inbox is full again :)

    He gets flooded with a ton of unimportant IMs.

    Yeah, not surprising really when you're the guy running an internet famous minecraft server.

    Phssaw, I knew Ein before he was famous. :P
    My steam ID is Utsanomiko and someone please please please invite me to the Colrapture server.

    EDIT: Thanks for the address, Tim.

    I found this and think it might be useful for a few things. the "mob spawning science" link on the original post is useful too. the floor layouts and trap/ kill methods should be useful even at a smaller scale.

    Anyone want to see if they can connect to my server? I need someone to test the connection and see if it's working. If so PM me and I'll give you the link.

    Unless you've turned off authentication to the mc.net servers then no one will be able to connect to your server.

    Yeah, looks like it's down again.. Guess I'll wait till it's up again to have it tested.

    Edit: DDOS attack?! Guess we'll be awhile probably.

    Probably a random group of internet trolls. It doesn't take many machines to use the kind of attack that is being used against him at the moment.

    On a separate note, digging up the ocean floor in singleplayer takes a long time. Guess this gives me time to do it.

    Someone got on my server earlier "who runs the minecraft server for escapist" and walked to talk to you, ein.

    Generally I kick people asking, or ban them if there being jerks, so uh, dont do that.

    4chan is full of a bunch of ppl from different sorts. I'm sure them majority of the people there don't care about the game, but of course there are numerous trolls out there who are willing to harrass just about anyone.

    The SYN style DDOS attack he's being hit with would only take about 10 people with decent machines to cause. Maybe less considering the amount of normal traffic that is also occurring.

    I'm gonna crop the map to just rapture for now.

    Speaking of Farming. Is there still undeveloped space under/near Columbia? Because I was thinking of building a classic Farmhouse/Barn/Field in single player, but if I can contribute something useful to Ein's server, that'd be cool.

    A barn, America's heartland should have more, surely.

    Plus I wasn't just gonna build a barn. I was gonna build a farmhouse, and a well, and see if I could make a decent looking weathervane, and a few silos... And a tool shed, and...

    When they deliver a copy of that to Irrational Games, could you make sure to tell them not to make the server address public? I could easily see a photo of a paper copy of that placed up on a blog or news feed.

    The result of Minecraft being down and getting bored, while listening to the Happy Happy Village song from Earthbound.

    Couldn't find any animals, but they're all blue as well. Almost everything is. Listening to the song now, while wondering Ein's server, is kinda eerie

    Levine did personally see the video

    From his tweet:
    "A nearly complete version of BioShock in Minecraft. Internet, you complete me. http://tinyurl.com/2bxykqt"

    Inviting him there would be nice. Also make sure to give him hints that Columbia is being prepared, perhaps he'll give some pointers or suggestions =p
