Minecraft Cities Day 2

Please answer all the questions below in a SINGLE comment.  Do not write multiple comments for this post.

1.) Describe your experience building the city.  What went well?  What went poorly?  What still needs to be done?

2.) Do you think this would be easier with more people?  Why or why not?

3.) Do you think that civilizations with more people had an advantage over those with fewer people?  Why or why not?

4.) In order to truly be considered a civilization, a society needs to be stable enough to have jobs that don't directly contribute to survival:  artists, performers, musicians, sculptors, etc.  In that case, is our Minecraft society actually a civilization?  Why or why not?

  1. the thing that went poorly was my team that had trouble doing thing so the day went slow and i think that it would be easy with only 1 person because i know what i'm doing but the village is better with more people it is better with all that so people can show their talent

  2. 1. something that went well was that my whole team is working together to do our jov what went poorly is all the time it's taking
    2.yes because then you could do more tasks and get done faster
    3.yes because then there would be more defence
    4.yes because we are owrking together to make sure everyone has what they need.

  3. Very boring because I'm a farmer. Everything is going sorta good could be better. Everybody needs everything and annoys you until they get it. A lot of everything still needs to be done.
    I don't think it'd be easier because more people need more things.
    Yes because they could get things done faster.
    No because its not real

  4. I think my experience with building the town went okay because we were getting some request done so that was a plus but what didn't go good was the part were we didn't get the resources to do some of the request and people were come planning that we didn't go fast enough we need everyone to drop off more resources. I think it would be easier with more people because you could get more resources but the down side to that is that if we dint have enough famers and ranchers people would strave to death so it has its ups and downs i think people with more people have an advantage because they could get more stuff done then just few people. I think`are mine craft society is some what of a civalisezation it has the mains of a socity but it could have more jobs to play.

  5. I don't build the city.More people would be easier cause more supplies would come and stuff would get done faster.I think it is a civilization cause many people are doing random stuff to stay alive.

  6. 1.) I am a farmer and building the city is pretty fun. Each of us has our own responsibilities to build the city so we all work for eachothers needs. 2.) I think we have enough people but it could be easier if we had more. 3.) If we had more people, we definetly would have an advantage over those with fewr people. With more people, we could get things done a whole lot quicker. 4.) No, our society is not a civilization. We dont have artists, performer, musicians, or sculptures.

  7. 1. I am not a builder.2.i think mining with more people would be easier because we can excavate more in less time3.yes because if we had less people would have more jobs that would take more time and create a lot of stress.4. I feel like it is because nobody's jobs are not unimportant because we all rely on each other for survival and with out each other thing will not get done.

  8. (1) Building the city is pretty hard. When you go down into the cave theres a lot of dangers to face. The good thing is that we got a lot of materials, but the bad thing is that I kept going into lava. We still need to get more materials for the city.
    (2) This would be more easier. We will have more people to do more stuff and get more materials.
    (3) Yes, groups that have fewer people don't have that many materials because there isn,t that many people doing that many things, on the other hand, the groups with a lot of people have more people getting materials.
    (4) Yes, if the group continues staying alive, they are considered a civilization.

  9. 1).I didn't build the city but I did make the food for the city and all the request. It's hard to make things when you don't know how to make them. But we got the orders done and every thing was good.
    2).Yes I think it would be easier with more people because then we would be able to get all the orders done faster.
    3).Yes I think a civilization with more people you had would have a better advantage. You would get things done faster and with more people you have more help.
    4).I think our society is actually a civilization because we had miners for digging stuff up. We have crafters for making food, weapons and cloths. We have farmers for growing the crops. We have builders for making the homes and the city. We have lumberjacks for gathering the wood. We also have ranches for taking care of the animals. I thinks that's all you need to be a real civilization.

  10. 1)Can't answer I was in the mines all day and I'm not a builder.

    2)Yes i do think it would be easier with more people so we can gather more materials faster build houses faster and have more people that know how to craft things with crafters (not saying their doing a bad job).

    3) Yes and no because they could take over other villages faster but they would also have more mouths to feed.

    4) No because we don't have artist,performers,musicians,sculptors,ect. we only have jobs that will contribute to our survival.

  11. My experiences building the city were pretty good because I would get wood for the builders. There needs to be houses and beds made. This would be harder with more people because then there would be more people that need things. I think that civilizations with more people wouldn't have an advantage over other civilizations because they would need ore things for those civilizations with more people. Are mine craft civilization is still a civilization because we are still surviving.

    ReplyDelete
  12. 1. The house that I am building for everyone is almost complete. All i need to do is install the beds and put on a roof. Now we need a lookout tower, a meeting room, a guarding wall, and a few other things.

    2. A little bit, because more people can help with the building, lumberjacks, crafters, everything we need to do to pick up some speed.

    3. Yes, because more people can do the work and then we can be a successful society.

    4. No, because we need artists, performers, musicians etc. to do what they do and then it'd be a healthy society.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 1) i think my team (the build team) made twice as work then yesterday. But the only thing that went poorly is the tower.

    2) I think yes,the building,farming,mining,crafting and more will go faster and more will be accomplished,but the only problem is how to communicate to them if they are having technical difficulty

    3) yes,there will be a bigger army that can dominate other civilizations and more can be accomplished.

    4) no, in minecraft survival, you need objects such as food from animals and plants and ores such as diamonds and iron to make tools,but there barley is objects in minecraft survival to use for entertainment but the game itself

  14. To me... I guess it was okay, because even though planting was going good, it kind of almost fell apart... a little bit. I don't really think that it wouldn't be easier if there was more people because if there was a ton of people working at the same place such as planting seeds, maybe everyone would mess up the ground... just a little. People who have more people than people who have fewer people won't always have advantage, because for people who have fewer to take advantage, they to plan things in order to prove that you don't need a lot of people to take the advantage. A Minecraft society is kind of not, because even though there still are things that we need to do... that does not mean that it's a real civilization... not yet. (by the way, hi)

  15. 1) I did not build the city so i do not know.

    2)Yes, i believe that it would be easier for us as crafters with more people, because since we have a very important job as making the requests people write i think we will be able to get done the job faster.

    3)Yes, i believe civilizations with more people had an advantage.I believe that because since they had more people they could decide as a group on what would be better for the civilization.

    4)Yes, I believe our Minecraft society is actually a civilization. Since we have crafters, builders, miners, ranchers, farmers, lumberjacks, ETC everyone has a very important job and without that job our society would be incomplete.

  16. 1. Building the city went great because everyone worked as a team to get it built.What went well is that everyone got to do their jobs.What went poorly is the fact that the crops took lots of time to grow.Whats left is we need to give the crops something to make them grow quicker.
    2.I don't think it would be easier with more people because then it might turn into lots of chaos during this project.
    3.Yes,because with more people they could have gotten more chances to take over the other civilization.
    4.No,because the only jobs my civilization has are builders,crafters,miners,lumbers,ranchers,and farmers,no artist,performers,musicians,or sculptores

  17. 1) Everybody worked well, but it took a while for everybody to go to the storage room on market day. The builders built a couple of houses, but they still need to build more.The good thing is the miners got a lot of materials to craft things.More houses need to be built but that is all.

    2) Yes, because we would get a lot more materials and the houses would be built faster.

    3)Yes, because with more people its impossible for smaller civilizations to get in.

    4) Yes, because you can do the same thing but different in minecraft. Like doing plays,making sculptures, and making pictures with wool and other materials.

  18. 1. i think that getting every thing on time is going poorly because we never get the food cooked on time then people die. but what i think is going great is so far we have been making progress with getting the tools in on time. but we still have to get all of the armor made there have been a few requests and we have not made any yet.

    2. yes i do think it would be easier with more people because then we could get all the supplies in quicker and we could get the requests done quicker.

    3. yes i do think so because when you have more people you get things done quicker and you dont have to just rely on one person to get something done because when you have more people you can work together to get it done.

    4.no our mine craft society would not be considered a civilization when you put it like that because we are all focused on one jod and that only we dont have enough time to settle in and listen to some music with our feet up because we are still constructing every thing and we dont even have one house finished.

  19. I do think this would be easier with more people because we could get other things done faster.4 Yes I think our minecraft society is a civilization because if it wasn't no one would really have jobs to do and everyone wold be running around siply and everything.

  20. 1] My experience was a bit overwhelming. when we needed things from ranchers or they when anyone needed something, they could of came to us because we are the crafters and we could give it to them. But overall it was pretty good with team work and cooking etc.
    2] For my job as a crafter. I think maybe 2 or 1 more people could join us, because we could have more things done faster. but 3 people so far is pretty good.
    3] well with fewer people we wouldn't targeted as much. With more people it would be better but we would be targeted more.
    4] Minecraft is not a civilization because, I mean come on nothing is realistic. You cant farm as fast and you cant craft as fast. but the part that we are with many people and were working together makes it a civilization! >.< :T

  21. 1.The farmers are not planting very frequently leading to slower ranching production.

    2.more people equals faster production in all jobs but requires more resources to keep everyone in good shape like food or tools.

    3.Well yes because if a city with 10 people went against a city with 6 the first city just overwhelm the other and the first leading to better materials like weapons.

    4.Its getting somewhere but all jobs need to reach a certain limit of production so everyone and the city is stable so yeah progress at least is being made.

    ReplyDelete
  22. yes because jobs only have 2 or 3 people so if there were more there could be a lot more getting done.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The things that went well was the things that what we needed was given to us but the crafters weren't really doing their job of giving the stuff right away so we just got the stuff on our own by going to the farm. What went wrong was my hunger and making sure I always had food at hand. This will be ALOT easier if there were more people and if they were given a specific job to handle. I do think that civilizations with more people than fewer people have an advantage because the more people there are the more things get done faster although as smaller civilizations don't get stuff done easily and faster. Yes! I do think that our mine craft civilization is a society civilization. Even tho we don't have the direct things a society civilization has, I would still consider it a civilization.

  24. 1) My experience building. I get to recieve the society is coolthe food for everybody so they can survive.
    2) I think it would be easier with more people because they could help us get stuff we need.
    3) Yes because they had more people to get supplies faster. They could build faster with more people.
    4) Yes because you don't need artists, performers, musicians, sculptors and etc. They don't help give us homes and food to eat.

  25. Building the city was a little difficult because sometimes my team and I did not have some materials needed. It did go well though, because we had materials for most of the day and we got to craft a bunch of tools and food for people today. The thing that did not go to well today was the crafting time. We needed some more time and materials to craft everything we needed to before the day ended. We still need to gather more materials from other people and craft more thing as well. I think it would be easier with more people because then one person can craft, one person can smelt, one person could collect the materials, and another person could tell us the requests. Having more people would probably be a lot easier. I think that civilizations with more people had an advantage than civilizations with fewer people because they can get more things done than the civilizations with fewer people. they could do it in a certain amount of time as well. Like being faster than the fewer people. Our minecraft society isn't the ideal civilization, but it works for us and that's as good as we can get. Our minecraft society is still not a civilization, though because it doesn't have what a true civilization has. Like the artists, performers, musicians, sculptors, and so on.

  26. This would not have been easier if there were more people, because you would have to feed more people. Other cities that have more people only one advantage that is more people in armies so they have better luck at success. Our city is not a civilization,because no one is trading, or attacking us.

    1. Do civilizations need to compete or cooperate with other civilizations to be considered a civilization?

  27. It went pretty well while building the city. One challenge that we faced was that we were unable to supply the crafters with all the materials needed to make what we needed. We still need to finish building and make moor food and make sure we can stay alive. I think it would be harder with more people because we would finish faster and have nothing to do. However, with more people you do have and advantage over others if you ever had to go to war. NO we are not a civilization yet because we are not able to live life comfortably.

  28. I think first it would have been easier with a lot more people because we wolud have way more material and things would move smoother.Second i think alot of thinks went well but i think we could use more people in groups of 3.Lastly i think ower civilzation is not like a civilzation because we don't have the extra stuff in life like we have today.

  29. 1: My experience building the city went sort of well because we got some animals and built so fences or pins for the animals. It also went poorly because at some times we needed some supplies and we sort of really couldn't get to it because we had to wait we were told to go to he main land.
    2: yes! I do think this would be easier with more people because if we all work together and pick the sections that have to be done then the work will be done more easier.
    3: Yes! because those fewer people might think that its unfair that they get more people then them and get the work done faster but instead the fewer might have to do piece by piece because of the few people they have.
    4: No! because really what I think we are doing in this assignment is how the ancient Indians survived in the past with no phones or connection, communication or anything that we have now and I think that the way we are playing or learning is how the ancient Indians survived at the period of time.

  30. 1)my experience building this city was very very good. I got to take care and breed the animals and i helped collect food for the community. Things that need to be done is going to market and getting supplies. I think you should be able to have more supplies in each bin. The thing that went poorly would have to be understanding jobs of other people and what they can do for you.
    2) It will definitely be way more easier with more people. With more people you have the opportunity to work faster and get work done.
    3)No because it could be a hassle to handle a bunch of people then just a few people. Then you'll have to teach everybody what they do and when they do it.
    4) Our Minecraft society would not be considered a civilization because it does not include any entertainment. Life isn't always about survival it can contain some type of activity or entertainment too have fun with your city.

  31. Building the city was easier than yesterday, because everyone was more use to their jobs. Also, if there were more it would be easier for some jobs but harder for other jobs, so i don't know. I think if we did have more people in some jobs it would be easier, because we can get more done. To be honest i think we are a civilization because not all civilizations need people that do performing arts.

  32. I think that our job went well but there were also some things that didnt go well. we didnt really communicate that well. I do think that it could be easier with more people because we would be able to do our job faster. The civilization with more people didnt hve an advantage because that meant you had to worry about everyone and their job. Minecraft could actually be considered a civilization because we worked togeter like we were one.

    ReplyDelete
  33. What went well is building the pens for the animals but trying to breed them was hard.This would be easier because we would have more people doing something so things would get done faster.Yes it is because we are simulating things we learned in s.s so we can simulate a civilization.

  34. It was hard to go back and forth but it was fun because I got to hang out with my friends

  35. I think that we should have more people build because theirs not a lot a houses for everyone so I think that everyone should build their own houses and then they should go to their job. Then the builders can build what they are trying to build.This plan could help everyone have enough houses.

  36. We are geting there but some people are just doing there own thing.Yes,it will be easier with other people because some people don't now how to play.Yes because There not enoufgh people.Yes because we can have teachers like you Mr.dunn and cumpuer teacher

  37. 1)What I experience in the city was that you always dont have the supplies that you need.What went well was that when me and pale went to plant the crops ti went well.
    2)Why because then the jobes will go more faster and better.
    3)Why because when there is a lot of people, so more people+jobes= faster.
    4) Yes cuause we all have jobes.

  38. is fun but we need more time to build houses and watch tower is got harder because Nathan & Juan keep building when they can't build they are cratfer i'm a build

  39. I build a safe place in the crafting area so that way those wolfs don't come into the crafting area. What went well was when I used a tool to destroy 2 wolfs and I also put down some bones for the wolfs to eat if they were hungry. The poorly thing was when the wolfs were in the area and tried to destroy me but I didn't care. It would be easier If my buddies were in the crafting area so that way they can help me with crafting.

  40. 1)Things are going well but there are some things that need work on like communicating.2)It would be fun to have all four classes working together also we would get stuff done faster.3)I think a civilization with more people would be better because they would have more defense and a better food system.4)No because our world isn't block like and our minecaft world doesn't have artists or taxes or a leader.

  53. Our Experience building a city went well... We got buildings build up and some houses done. We still need to make moor houses. Our speed is poor. No because it would be even more of a mess with more people. Civilization is definately better in real life with more people because people need to more strenght unlike the game.No its not a real civilization because all our materials just appeared out of thin air and everything was pretty much done for us.

  54. 1 planting the food went well but then it took long to grow. we still need bone meal 2 i think it would be easer because we could break down the jobs 3 i think civilation whiuth more people would have an advanteged because jobs would get done quicker 4 i dont think mincraft is a true civilazation.

  55. (1) Well what went well was my team mates are terrific. But what went poorly was I do not like going into the woods, because I always get lost and its hard for me to get back to the village.
    (2) I believe with more people it would be easier, because with more people the job gets done faster.But also there would be more mouths to feed.
    (3) Yes because then then they will get to much pride and then war will begin.
    (4) Yes because it makes you feel like you are in there shoes at this time. Especially when you are in survival mode. No I do not think it is time for us have a civilization with singers artist, and performers because when you are trying to stay alive we do not have time for these things.+

  58. Describe your experience building the city. What went well? What went poorly? What still needs to be done?

    2.) Do you think this would be easier with more people? Why or why not?

    3.) Do you think that civilizations with more people had an advantage over those with fewer people? Why or why not?

    4.) In order to truly be considered a civilization, a society needs to be stable enough to have jobs that don't directly contribute to survival: artists, performers, musicians, sculptors, etc. In that case, is our Minecraft society actually a civilization? Why or why not?1)it was coming out good because we have the stuff we need for our job 2) yes because with more people you would have more aventage then people with less people 3)yes because more people would have one sorten job to work on it. 4)it needs more food because people would die

  59. Building the farm was fun but hard. What went well was that wee helped the ranchers with the food. What went poorly was some of us don't know how to share and we cant control this.


    It would be easier with more people because we have no clue what we are doing sometimes.
    yes it does have an advantage because civilization would be hard without with no advantage.
