Re: Community Minecraft Server!
Because I didn't help at all.
So are we straying away from the Tower of Babel idea?

Re: Community Minecraft Server!
Err.. Sorry! I didn't notice that you were there 
. I'll update the post.
I meant that the people that were helping me out that night. To my knowledge, you were not there when I was there that night.

The nine circles of hell sounds clever, but I don't really know how to represent all these things with blocks. It is still very open to ideas at the moment since nothing has actually been built yet.

A rain of poop would indeed be difficult to replicate. And a giant twister would be hard to make. But stuff like Satan frozen in ice would be fun!

Re: Community Minecraft Server!
My username is Goldengamer789. If we're talking about the night we started building the perimeter and burned down part of the the forest, I was present. I've dug up a total of a over 1500 blocks. We've all worked roughly the same amount, I believe in one way or another.
Edit: We had all accomplished roughly the same amount of work two or three days ago. Due to time constraints, I havE not been able to play recently.

Re: Community Minecraft Server!
I know what your username was.
I was just talking about the workers of that day. We burned down the forest the day before.
I'll change it so it accounts the workers up to that point, which also included Safusaka, I think.

Re: Community Minecraft Server!
Ideas from someone who just read the Wikipedia article instead of the Divine Comedy:
0. We don't really need a "meh" vestibule section. It's just a bunch of lame dudes chasing a banner, which you can't really build. So just the nine circles, then.
1. First circle is for good guys that weren't given the chance to accept Jesus as their lord and savior. It's a nice place; green fields and a castle with seven gates to represent the seven virtues. Not too complicated for Minecraft.
2. Lust. This is just a giant windstorm. I dunno guys. If we can't follow the book literally, maybe capturing the spirit will do. In that case, water. Currents everywhere. Lust should be difficult and frustrating to navigate.
3. Gluttony. In the book there's nasty mud everywhere and a rain of poop, so I think soul sand and dripping lava should emulate that adequately. Maybe put chests of raw meat and rotten flesh around, too?
4. Greed. It's full of guys pushing heavy stuff with their chests and playing Red Rover like that. I really have no idea for this one.
5. Wrath. Okay this is where shit gets complicated. The outer part is a marshy river type thing (there is definitely a marsh and a river), and then there's a big wall. Inside the wall is a giant hole, which has four levels. The rim of the hole is...
6. Heresy. The only description I have is "a bunch of dudes in burning tombs." That sounds fun to create, just make them out of netherrack. The rest, you have creative license over.
7. The next rim of the pit is violence. It has three things in it, which are supposed to be in separate rings but we don't have room for that: boiling river of blood and fire, gnarled thorny bushes (WHO ARE PEOPLE!), and a desert of burning sand with fire raining from the sky. That all sounds do-able. Obviously the river of blood and fire will just be lava.
8. Jesus Christ I have no idea what the hell we're gonna do here.
9. The exciting one, where all the traitors go! I'm thinking four progressively deeper circles of snow and ice, but we may not have a lot of room to work with at this point. Too bad we can't make a big ol' model of Satan. Wait, shit, ice melts, doesn't it? Well bugger.
So yeah... that's it. More work than a tower of Babel, but more interesting to make in my opinion. We can pretend all those creepers and skeletons are damned souls, I guess.

3. Fab's description would work, except we HAVE to add lava and water rain.
4. The greed floor will be a hill with minecarts at the bottom of it, and you have to push them all the way up. Then you travel across a path surrounded by lava, pass through a 1x1 hole in a wall thanks to the minecart, then continue your journey to the end of the floor.
Noxid and Fab approved, that is settled.
EDIT :
8. Four lines of three-block tall pillars with jak-o-lantern heads, that go around in circles (1st bolgia). The two inner circles of "people" would be green-colored (10th bolgia).
Each of these pairs of lines of people would be separated in 4 areas (that will makes 8 areas in total).
Outer circles:
A soul-sand area (2th bolgia).
A burning netherrack and cobblestone area (3th bolgia).
An area where all the "people" have their "heads" dislocated from their "bodies" (4th bolgia).
An area full of lava-filled cauldrons (5th bolgia).
Inner circles :
A spider net area (6th bolgia).
An area with snake-like layouts on the ground (and in the air too, maybe) (7th bolgia).
An area where each "body" is burning (and clean ground elsewhere) (8th bolgia).
An area where all the people is divided in two (two heads or two bodies...) (9th bolgia).

Not enough. But, either the server will turn into Creative Mode, in that case we will have all the pumpkins we need, or it won't, then we will have pleeeeeenty of time to get pumpkins.gabbalis said:

I would hope it stays the latter. We have never had any mods to simplify work on the server; using creative mode would be an easy way out.

Re: Community Minecraft Server!
Okay but you don't understand the magnitude of this project
We've never tried to build anything huge and co-ordinated before. Not only will creative mode make it a lot faster and less boring, it will give people an incentive to work on the nine circles, rather than their own thing that no one cares about.
The server will be going Creative soon, and as such, the whitelist is being trimmed down significantly. Griefing is much easier in Creative mode. Don't ask to be left on the whitelist; if I think you're trustworthy, you're allowed in. If I don't, it's because I have a deep personal loathing for you, or because I just haven't seen you in action before.

Eh.
I'll just stick to my friends' servers then.
Just so you know, an OP can toggle whether it not people are in creative mode, so you can revoke that privilege is abused.
