If you're doing this on dlmvii's server, promise you'll let me help. :P

I have started the glass floored sky castle in my single player game, but I haven't begun the pig flume yet. I only just learned you can saddle up and ride a pig recently, and I haven't even tried it yet. The pig flume amusement park would probably be better in multiplayer than just on my own. That's a good idea. I'll devote my multiplayer time to that project in dlmvii's server.

Then a good portion of the human race fails at life through no fault of their own, and most living organisms do the same.

I'm probably missing the point of your post.

It appears that someone else views Minecraft in a way very similar to my own, though more eloquently worded.
