wat

we just started as newbies, forming 2 testie tribes on our server, one in the north, one in the south

pvp is possible, but we have more problems with dino's atm, than with other players
2 tribes huh? Who wants to recruit me? I will be accepting bribes, so don't be shy!

I once made a remote-controlled flying bomber (aircraft was powered by Red Frame, and the controls were done via ComputerCraft) that was armed with nuclear explosives in Minecraft. There isn't a lot to the vanilla game, but with mods it has a whole lot to it. Mystcraft was a fun mod too with the ability to create new pocket worlds and shape them how you want.
The best thing about mystcraft was stockpiling decay blocks and judiciously deploying them as weapons of mass destruction on some butthead's world.

I just picked it up yesterday - have successfully been eated by many dinos, and punched a few trees.
Will definitely be trying out this TEST server shortly.. though it would be cool if we could tribe up in a public server, and spread our nonsense to the masses.

We just merged our 2 tribes on the TEST server you should join us :)
You can also make your own tribe or be alone all something i have done. But yeah i would love to try and take over a server and recruit people to SC or kill them.

Gah - my computer hates this game. I crash every half hour or so.

Im on the TEST server presently.. happy to join up with the official tribe, and contribute to whatever communal effort is going on. I assume I need an invite?

Also, anyway we can get the PW changed to something with no punctuation? On the main game server list, I can find the TEST server - after I created a character there - but cannot log in from there, because of the PW. Would eliminate having to use the link. Just a suggestion for laziness.

I thought you guys split the tribe, and ran off with the Rex (still LOLing about that, btw). Now we've merged again? I'm SO confused :(

I think I'll just chill out down south.

HOME ON THE ARK

Oh, give me a home where the Triceratops roam
Where the Dilo and the Dodo birds play;
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the sky is not cloudy all day.

In a little over a week I will be home.. and then I can tame dino's and have TEST fun with all of you.

Wait... is there alcohol yet in this game? Can I eat trippie mushrooms that have grew from the droppings of a T-Rex?

If dinos don't attack their owners, then my first guess would be to knock it out, leave the tribe, and re-tame it over several hours. I would also SPECULATE possibly using server admin command such as admincheat forcetame (not cheating imo, since one could "roleplay" the transfer of a dino if it is on "follow" mode). Ultimately, I don't know, but I'm sure it is just a matter of time until we find out.

Although all things being equal, if admin commands ARE being used to enable roleplaying above & beyond the game's mechanics, then the playing field should be opened up to include other uses along with a sort of petition and review/approval process for other roleplaying opportunities. I don't know if our kind host can devote their valuable time to this kind of micro-management, but perhaps this is what GM's are for.
