"How are you using the bold/italics etc?

"As I am sure many of you are aware of, the ZSDW has had an active Minecraft community for a few months now. Many users, including staffers here enjoy the survival genre it offers.

After much difficulty I have managed to resolve many problems blocking our way and finally we can get a dedicated server for the ZSDW.

This would mean that ZSDW users could go hunting together in huge forests and return with meat to trade at a ZSDW outpost.

It would mean ZSDW users would be able to build houses, shops, farms and massive barricades. Then frantically try to survive the waves of zombies and creepers assaulting the fortress.

It would mean ZSDW users working in teams to explore massive cave systems to grab vital materials like iron and coal to fashion weapons to help the ZSDW base survive.

If you are interested in playing Minecraft with your fellow ZSDW members place your name in this thread or send a private PM to Marsden.

"!!!!! <i>Count me in!</i>

I just gotta <b>buy</b> it first . . . How much is it, like $20?

Anywho, I'm psyched to play. I've been wanting to get on a server for years. But, since I was using a . . . *ahem* . . . <i>pirated</i> version of minecraft, I couldn't exactly play multiplayer, as you need a purchased account to do so.

So yeah, count me in, let me know when this stuff's going down, and I'll try to have a purchased account by then."

"It has changed since then, my friend . . .

Seriously though, when was that you were able to do that? Never - and I mean NEVER - have I been able to log onto any form of multiplayer anything with my pirated version."

"Not played Minecraft for a couple of months, but hell I would like to join this group!
So do I work with the other Members or branch of into my own faction?

Username is Madurjafro, incase you were wondering."

"that would be fun as long as we have a good number of people say at least 10-15 people, factions would allow us to have to deal with diplomacy a key skill in the Post SHTF world

"<i>Yes</i>. I like this idea.

Alrighty then, who'd like to join Wolftopia? Signups are free, there's only a slight chance you'll be eaten.


On to a more serious topic, though, how are we going to communicate when we're in there? I would suggest the use of some kind of conference-calling thing where we would just use microphones. That way we can communicate and play at the same time instead of having to type stuff in the chat thing.

Also, I've got a crap ton of epic minecrafting experience, so pick <b>me</b> for whatever it is we're doing. :)

Seriously, though, we should make factions before we go onto the server, and establish governments, alliances, and positions etc. before we go as well."
