Thursday is the big day, we did great collecting all the BPs this week, I think we have all the critical ones. But we should be able to hit the ground running Thursday. Ethan and I are working on a base design similar to the one used this week with some tweaks. We'll also be asking ConfigT and Havox to build near us so we can keep an eye on each others bases. They joined us in a very successful raid last night of the IDF guys.

Just a couple things to share with everyone as we prepare for Thursday:

1. The server is set to instacraft right now, I think we all agree that sucks, if he doesn't change it back I vote we go shopping for a new server (even though losing the BPs will suck).

2. To get started Thursday we'll build a small (probably 2x2) base somewhere to collect resources in until we can begin to build the main base. We'll also setup a furnace or two to make enough stuff to make guns earlier on so we can defend ourselves. I think we're leaning towards Snow right now because of how difficult it makes it to attack/raid us. We will build the initial base completely out of stone originally, then upgrade to armored when possible. making pickaxes and mining stone will be the first priority.

3. We learned a lot from our raid of IDF yesterday. First we need 2-3 sleeping bags at least in our base, so we can respawn and continue to fight. We will have bedrooms for this and each bedroom will have a chest with clothes, guns, and ammo. Being able to return to the fight is key for fighting off an attack. I think guard towers are also very helpful, a single tower on a rock held us off last night for half the fight, after the initial base is done we will probably add a wall around it with towers in the corners.
