NP - I can't do the next 2 nights, but let me know how it went.
It seems one of the group may have to occasionally run off the beach into the wooded area to pull mobs to them - On my third attempt, only after waiting around for half the night did mobs start coming toward me even though many of them spawned. Still seems to be a little bit hit and miss - Perhaps the Island needs to be extended around the beach, like a horseshoe?
Perhaps I'll work on that later depending on your success.
Hey... why did the server get white-listed? I build a Epic house and everything. I'm not angry... I just want to know can I be white-listed on the server? im getting back to be active. May I please be allowed on the server?
Oh. java.net.SocketException says the network is unreachable.
EDIT: I'm playing around with my Firewall settings to no avail. I'm going to try a re-install.
EDIT2: Nope. That didn't work, either. Any ideas?
EDIT3: Ok, I can connect to other servers. Could it be that I wasn't whitelisted correctly?
EIDT 4: This is my last edit, I swear.
It turns out my username is lovelaceIII, not lovelaceiii. I've been logging in fine with lowercase i, but maybe the whitelist needs them to be uppercase.
Server uses a whitelist. PM Havoc your exact Minecraft username to be whitelisted and receive the IP.
Only active (or veteran) OWF members allowed.

I don't think upper or lowercase letters matter for the whitelist, but I'll add the uppercase one just to be sure. If you still can't join it's something on your end. Make sure you add the port number behind the server IP.
Yeah. It's working now. I had it open twice by mistake.
It was a bit of a disastrous start, what with me detonating a creeper next to the well near the mill whilst inside Genesis, albeit just. I think I was in the middle of a lag spike.
Oh yeah Havoc, if you're okay with them could you get newcomers to give the unofficial, not-set-in-stone guidelines a readthrough before they start playing, so at least they're aware of them without having to trawl through loads of posts to find them? I changed them a bit to make more sense/be less authoritative.
Yeah but it doesn't seem to work - Unless I'm mistaken. But it's best to not go AFK in the first place rather than have to wait for those 2 minutes to kick in during night time.
I actually meant you PM them the link every time they request to be added to the whitelist to save them trawling through the thread for it, which most of them won't unless they've been reading until now, so won't be aware, but meh, whatever. Server is quiet at this time anyway.
I made a floating island (getting the grass to grow on it involved building a temporary land bridge/stairway from dirt to the mainland):
World Hole cross-sectioned my castle:
And I accidentalied Scraby's Canon while waiting for the grass to grow. Sorry man.
I fixed it though, don't worry. And before you ask I recently set up traps for the mobs that follow me off the beach into my castle - Been gathering lots of gunpowder that way.
