Diamond use
I may have missed the disscusion but did we ever decide to use diamonds for tools and weapons? I saw I think 6 swords and a shovel. Also whats the plan with distributing swords? I'd love to have a diamond sword

Re: Diamond use
Somebody made six swords? Unless we agreed to do so in the past few days some people are going to be angry.
Edit* Just checked for myself. I saw 4 diamond swords and a shovel. Seriously, whats the point of a diamond shovel.

Re: Diamond use
I made one diamond sword for my own use, because I was sick of getting killed by zombies. See, we set the server difficulty level to "hard", so zombie attacks do 3 hearts of damage. So do iron swords. On an unarmored foe, that translates to four hits to kill someone with 10 hearts. I have 10 hearts, a zombie has ten hearts. We face each other and stab at each other, we're gonna be in a mutual kill situation. Due to SMP lag, it is not always possible to do a jump-slash for a critical hit to get an advantage, or rely on timing and the player's slightly longer reach. Diamond swords will kill a zombie in three hits rather than four, which has several times already meant I ended a fight with one heart left rather than being dead.
I have been intending to enchant my sword, but keep getting killed in hilariously silly and stupid ways every time I get over 10 XP levels.
I have no idea who made six diamond swords, or something as insanely pointless as a diamond shovel. I once made a diamond shovel in a single-player game, because I was packing up to go exploring for a new homestead, and needed to bring a shovel along and didn't want to tie up two inventory slots just to have a backup.

Re: Diamond use
I guess that's justifiable. At least you have some well thought out logic behind your use of diamonds.

Re: Diamond use
I personally don't mind that you made one so you wouldn't die. But who the heck would make 6 swords!? 6!? WHY? I guess since they're there we should make the best use of them and grind the heck out of skellys and enchant them.spectrumwars wrote:I made one diamond sword for my own use, because I was sick of getting killed by zombies.

Re: Diamond use
A single diamond sword to survive zombies is fine, sret. Whoever made 6 diamond swords isn't thinking right. We may have a few diamond blocks, but we're quite low for so many people on the project.

Re: Diamond use
I believe the one responsible would also be responsible for the incinerator... I'm not gonna point fingers, but I do have a good idea of who it is...

Huh? Why is my name in there. o.o
Anyway, a diamond shovel isn't the end of the world. If you have over a stack of diamonds you can spare one to have a shovel that lasts forever. Sometimes you need to dig a lot of dirt anyway. But 6 diamond swords...
Bye bye diamonds.. I'd consider this to be too far and actual griefing. Somebody needs to be dealt with.

Re: Diamond use
I had gotten 15 diamonds on my most recent spelunking trip, that basically evens it out. Whoever did that needs to step-up and tell who they are, because I also have my suspicions

Re: Diamond use
I made the diamond knockback sword a week ago I had a bunch of exp I wanted to spend before I died and lost it. So I made a sword figuring some one could use it in the mob farms.
Sorry my bad

Re: Diamond use
A diamond sword in the mob farms is a complete waste as they're safe to kill and designed so you can kill them easily with splash potions, stone swords or even your fists. One diamond sword is not a terribly big deal though. However, you should have talked to others before making that decision. Just keep that in mind in the future. =P
Making 6 of them is on a whole other level and simply stupid.

Re: Diamond use
I think it's fine to have one good enchanted diamond sword. From my experience there are only 3-4 of us on at any time anyway and I've rarely ever needed to defend myself in the tunnels. That sword just needs to be with someone online or in a chest. Having that sword on someone offline is a problem. Having 6 diamond swords is a problem.
Also one diamond shovel isn't the end of the world. That shovel should be used up obviously before more iron shovels are made.

Re: Diamond use
the diamonds swords are nice to have I must admit, I just wish whoever made them would ask the group first

Re: Diamond use
If you're lagfree and know what you're doing you can handle any situation with an iron sword. I've never needed a diamond sword in my life. I think it's alright if somebody who finds it troublesome fighting monsters uses a diamond sword occasionally but I don't like the idea of everyone using them.
