MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - So, reset the new world again, or set off on a quest for new things in the old one? (mc-nt)

So I found a village... the only one I'm aware of having been found on our new world so far.

It was a small two building village with only three inhabitants on a small island over 1000 blocks away from my greenhouse... which itself is thousands of blocks from spawn.

I decided to bring two lucky villagers over to my greenhouse complex, and hatched an elaborate plan.

I spent an amazing amount of time tunneling under the ocean to get to their island, battling lava flows, ocean breaks, crevice creepers, and a spider infested mine to finally arrive up inside the tavern of the village.

YAY!

After making new doors to grow the village from three to five members, I began trying to kidnap two lucky villagers to bring thru the tunnel to my greenhouse, but then I discovered the villagers under no uncertain circumstances could be pushed outside the limits of their village, even with extreme water flows. I decided to temporarily destroy the village doors, releasing them from their boundaries, and wallah! The two villagers moved very nicely along the tunnel.

One villager died of unknown causes for no apparent reason right before my eyes, but I suspect syphilis, leaving me only one villager half way thru the tunnel... no problem... there are three more back at the village.

Blackburn at some point joined the server.... I have no idea exactly when... but he announced he found a village. I cautioned him to be careful, if it's the one I'm working with, it has no doors... the villagers are safely locked in the tavern, but won't be able to multiply. At some point he says he fixed the door situation. Ok, great.

After a very slow and tedious process of bullying my villager thru the tunnel, I finally get him the entire journey up into my greenhouse. Whew. One down, one to go.

By the time I get back to the village, I discover blackburn had created a "door" by cutting a hole in the tavern wall, and no villagers were to be found... the sun had just come up... so I can only imagine the zombies had their way with them in the night, and then they all perished in the morning sun.

Jaw dropped.

My one captive villager is all that remains of the known world's villager population.

I can't get too mad at blackburn... he's just a little kid, but WTF!

And what are the odds, in this giant world, thousands of blocks from spawn... he motorboats randomly over to my exact location to decimate the only known world's village population in one fell chop.

Seriously... what are the odds?

Sigh... new mission requiements... bulding a portal to the Nether... finding a Nether Fortress... finding netherwart... finding a Blaz and killing him for his Blaze powder, making a potion stand, making a potion, making a golden apple, and hoping by chance to find a zombie villager wandering the dark forest I can capture and cure with the new potion and golden apple... DAMN IT!
