The Chronicles of Dimensia

[RaustBlackDragon]

Welcome to the main thread of the succession game I set up, "The Chronicles of Dimensia!"

The rules are simple:

*Constant Hard Mode
*No crafting or placing of torches
*If you die, you're out of the game for good.
*No using F3 at all, for any purposes.
*No flames that aren't exposed to the sky

These rules make for a quite fun experience, with minimal complacency.

We're using only 3 mods: Better Than Wolves (Duh), Doggy Talents, RBDTools, and MagiCats. We're also using hardcore bucket mode for BTW.

Reports are also in character.

if I had time I would be all over this like a... well never mind what, but unfortunately I have no time so I can't :(

What do you mean by no crafting? You can't really do anything without it apart from take down trees for apples.

No crafting of torches dude.

The rules seem a bit too hard though, can't even use lava lighting with HCB on. Then again, if lava lighting is for real men, I wonder who no light is for?

Yep, thanks for clarifying :)

[DreamsofFury]

By succession your meaning by the same way the DF thing is being done, you play for a short time then hand it over to one of us to play for awhile?

If that is the case you can count me in, shoot I'd be willing to record my sessions. While I would be cool with doggy talents I'm not sure how I feel about Magicats though I haven't used either of them.

Also if the main base is in too close proximity to a jungle I will opt out completely due to my performance issues around them.....QQ

Yes, that kind of succession game :)

Magicats really doesn't come into play until we get access to potions and stuff like that, that's the only way to get the materials for it.

I'll make sure that we don't start near a jungle.

endermen :D
*badum tsssh*

it does seem a bit silly to have no torches or no cave flames.

what about in houses, and hibachi's? (or cauldrons, crucibles, and kilns?

then again, visibilty can be sorted by turning brightness to max...

[DreamsofFury]

Count me in as one of the early ones then, I'll get the mods into a new jar and start learning them then. If anything changes to prevent me from taking my turn I will let you know well in advance.

[whitechaos35]

I'd like to participate. Can we get some more info on the succession rules (time limits, etc.)?

I didnt even think of that....

I'm thinking it would be 1-2 days per turn, what were you guys thinking?

[whitechaos35]

Either of those is fine with me. As long as the minimum is 24 hours.

[SgtChuckle]

Also, maybe when one person is finished with the world, perhaps they get to put 1 or 2 small (yes small, nothing major) goals for the next person to work on? I also vote for 48 hours from when you make the post claiming the world to when you have to upload it again, 1 day is just not enough for some people.
Edit: forgot to say I'm in.

[harryht]

may i join in the game?

[RaustBlackDragon]

Sure thing!

What do you guys think about writing in character? What do you think the plot should be? And I'd like to lean more towards comedy than tragedy in the writing tone if at all possible, that's always more fun and less depressing :)

[harryht]

could we make it a theme that we are trying to make something more aesthetic rather than usefulness?
keeping in mind we want machines but i mean we make it look as nice as possible?

If that's the case, I should probably just stay out of building entirely... I AM capable of making nice houses, but it takes me a WHILE. So I guess I'll devote my time to training dogs :)

"Wilson, I think that this definitively proves, that I'm not in Kansas anymore. I mean, just look at me mining all that rock, Mining a cubic meter of rock with a pick would take me a day back home!"

There has to be a pet. Turned on constant follow for sure :). Pet dies, you go as well sounds like an extra nasty rule.

Well, thanks to Raust, at least our dogs won't be apparently attempting to commit suicide constantly. ;)

[DreamsofFury]

2 days....not sure how well that works for me, id need at least 4 tbh otherwise you'll probably see something half finished with possibly no idea what its supposed to be used for.

Huh... That sounds reasonable, there won't be as many players in this succession game as in upsilonia too. However, there'll need to be a report every day for that to work :)

[Xekrom337]

i'd like to join :)

[Mason11987]

Might I suggest we say people play for a set amount of minecraft time? Like 6 MC days (2 real hours)? Obviously have a time limit like you have to pass it on 2 days after you get it or something. But having everyone play the same amount of in-game time could be interesting and would make everyone rush around more, and possibly make more mistakes which lead to deaths :).

Also, I'm in.

[Deepsniper]

I'm up for it... been getting bored of mc a lot lately... just I hate having to follow the forums these days soo much clutter.

qucik question does no flames that are not exposed to the sky also mean no glass roofs :P
