Spent Christmas with the MRT Server community, just as I planned to do so. It was better than spending Halloween with them. The tree in Spawn City that CG made still stands, but didn’t have the pictures it did last year. I’m guessing due to WorldEdit.
\nPresents have been moved to another location, miles away from Spawn City. A much larger tree stands here with a plethora of presents, mostly for the staffers and Frumple.<\/p>\n
Some of the present designs were really, really well thought of. One was a smaller scale model of Spawn Station. Others were a really large box protecting a large box. One was shaped like a wolf’s head. Another was shaped like an old milk truck but painted in holiday colors.
\nYou got to hand it to the community. They definitely know how to build. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Yoshi had me play a new game of his which is really fun and very easy. It’s called ‘Cards Against Humanity’. It’s a 4-6 player game where you need to get seven cards with random answers written on them, some of them quite funny. It’s a point-based game where the one that reaches 10 points wins the game.
\nHow it’s played, is there’s these play areas. One is a booth where you can say up to two questions, and wait for everyone to put an answer. Once they have the answers, they read them out loud which causes people to laugh. Then they choose the best answer. Whoever gets it gets a point.
\nCurrently, questions are thought of by whoever’s in the box. Some memorial ones are “Daddy? Why is Mommy crying?”
\nThe answers to these can be quite.. PG-13. Some memorial ones are “My Humps”, “What’s in my mouth?”, “Miley Cyrus twerking” and “Inappropriate Stroking”… some of these have even turned into memes.
\nAfter the second question is answered in hopefully the most humorous fashion, everyone has to rotate clockwise around, giving everyone a chance to be the question asker.<\/p>\n

\nThere was a time where Yoshi had to go. So I went back to playing Dishonored for awhile. The main MRT Mumble Server decided to go down on me, and I was forced to switch to the backup as some others did.
\nI was talking to a friend, who mentions how Frumple’s on the server and preparing to update it to 1.7.4. I freak out (not in a good way), saying how it’s too early and quickly get off and on the server to confront Frumple with this.
\nHe claims his reason to update is “because Christmas” which was hard to believe. To me, this just ruined mine. I felt Frumple ‘the Grinch’ threw a wrench into my plans of spending Christmas on the server, but also not being overly bored while there.<\/p>\n
Why did I feel this? Again, it was too early as I said. They had just<\/em> got the Beta server up last week to test out 1.7.4. Frumple explains it’s because he didn’t see a lot of problems with it. My friend says it’s possibly his fault for sending Frumple an email, about the update. On top of that, I’m a complete n00b at MagicLauncher. I want to be able to create a new instance similar to MultiMC, and be able to flip between installs. But since 1.6, installing mods had changed with Mojang fucking up (aka not leaving well enough alone) the Minecraft file structure. With this, I’m forced to play Minecraft without mods and endure the stupidity. At least I was still able to complete. 12am Christmas Morning, I got to unwrap my gifts. But Yoshi told us to not completely remove the ‘wrapping paper’, as it’s for some kind of game he’s planning this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spent Christmas with the MRT Server community, just as I planned to do so.

\nAnother reason, 1.7 is a humongous step forward in Minecraft’s history. No one has been able to update their mods to the new system. This unfortunately includes OptiFine; a ‘must have<\/strong>‘ mod. I get horrible chunk loading lag when on the server without it.
\nThe author of OptiFine is working on a 1.7.2 release. From what I’ve seen, they have to get by a lot of hurdles before they even come close to releasing a beta. Last time I checked, the update is 35% complete.<\/p>\n
\nNow, you must use the default launcher to get a fresh copy of the latest version, then somehow make MagicLauncher work with it.<\/p>\n
