A builder named Oat was working on an ambitious outer space project, involving an eighth of the earth and some comets. Problem is, spheres are not so easy to render at a smallish size in Minecraft unless you use geometric principles.
Now, I am not very good at math, but when I make circles, spheres, and curves, I go by feeling and not by rules of mathematics. My circles and spheres may turn out crude, but it gets the job done. The problem with circles and squares is, it's too easy to make a circle too square, and it's too easy to make a sphere too "diamondy". I have provided screenshots of a 9 x 9 x 9 model of an eighth of a sphere, in case you'd like to take a shot. The sphere is located next to the Propaganda Radio on one of the WoM servers.
While at work yesterday, I contemplated a punkish piece of Minecraft art. I sometimes think about all of the bullshit spouted by the media from all sides: TV, radio, internet, periodicals, republicans, democrats, fuckwits and geniuses. Everyone can say anything, but that doesn't make their claims true. Everyone is so ready to jump to conclusions without really thinking things through. I am referring to politics of course, but this applies to everything.
You must think I'm paranoid. Perhaps I am. I just don't trust power very easily. The more powerful you are, the less I trust you. A trained tiger is powerful, more powerful than its human trainer. The tiger has the power, and the human just reacts. The tiger will jump through its hoops, but what if it just chooses one day to gnaw off some faces? When I make suggestions along these lines, people often say "No, that'll never happen." How well does that work in the face of betrayal? When you're left hanging in the wind, what good does any of that complacency and denial shit do for you? Shit nothing. Please remove head from ass, thank you kindly =)
Blah blah blah, to the point. I decided to make a radio that spouted the following floating words:
PROPAGANDA
MISINFORMATION
LIES
Later on, somebody mimicked my font and added "STATISTICS" next to "LIES". I believe this to be a statement on the uselessness of statistics as a pusher for propaganda... but if not, feel free to comment about it. Additionally, someone keeps adding "PINK!" in front of the message. The absurdity really doesn't bother me, as this entire situation - life, power, control, cheese, everything - is just absurd.
TRIANGLE FISH BUCKET
Today I helped Joman666 build another pyramid. It's a 25 x 25 gold monument, curiously enough, located behind my Propaganda Radio. Kind of gives you an Illuminati-ish feeling, yes?
The key to building a pyramid is to lay down your foundation with an odd number of blocks. Beginning with an odd number of blocks will give you a single-block capstone. If you start with an even number of blocks, you will have a 2x2 top with no capstone, and the pyramid looks stunted.
The pyramid, with its fiery entrance.
This is the throne room... I assumed the color purple to be sacred to the Egyptians, and made the purple throne at the end of a corridor of torches.
What's this? A secret passage behind the throne?
How far down does this rabbit hole go?
A garden of CULINARY shrooms...
A reversed lava cross with a crystal altar, and vaulted ceiling.
A hidden bedroom where Joman666 lives. The entire pyramid is a front for demonic workings. Here is a bath, and a stove(?). To the right, where you see the lighter colored blocks, is a secret escape route in case trouble comes home to Joman.A quaint, and rather backwards relic visited the WoM server today in the form of a racist troll looking for attention. His name is Squfar, who claims to be a "proud asian man". The heights of his achievements in life include starting fights on the internet, stirring up petty drama, and banging his sister. If you see him, feel free to greet him with a ban-hammer =)
