Welcome to SaskatoonCraft!
This server is located on a home linux box, running Minecraft Beta 1.2. It could go down at any time, but I will try to preserve the world. This machine is also scheduled for an upgrade sometime in the near future, so it will go away temporarily then. I'll give some warning, though.
Saskatooncraft is a light role play, creative / survival server. We've got a bit of story going, and anyone is welcome to contribute!
Spread the word around. Let your Saskatoon minecraft friends know that we're here!
Rules
Saskatooncraft is an all ages server, so please keep the dialog and buildings rated PG. As well, respect other people's works. First complaint is a warning, second is banning.

Saskatooncraft - the survivors are thriving
Posted on 11 January 2011, 10:00pm CST
After a harrowing first night spent cowering on the roof of the escape pod, the survivors of the crash have not only begun to survive, but are thriving as well. Several outposts have been set up by the suvivors, and industry has started forming. They are using the native plants for security and protection from the creatures that plague them at night, and into the daytime. Mining operations for raw materials have begun in earnest, signals towers have been placed throughout the area to alert other survivors, and the deadly fuel leakage has been cordoned off for safety.
With some work, a bit of power has been restored to the pod's onboard computers, and a map of the area has been obtainted. the Scanning range is still low, but the local area is well mapped. Interestingly, there appears to be some iron debris due north of the crash site, including a rather large piece that seems to be leaking the same dangerous waste as the pod.
Saskatooncraft Reboot!
Posted on 08 January 2011, 5:00pm CST
After some discussion with the proto ops on Saskatooncraft, we've decided to do a server reboot. So, that means I'm packaging up the old map, putting in a new map, and letting it rip. But there's a little something different going on here... let's play a bit, shall we?
It looks like we're in an iron craft of some sort. Huh? Maybe we crashed? It's small, so maybe an escape pod of some sort. Let's see, we have some chests, a diamond block, and... adminium?
This is a nice view of the ocean...
Oh, the sun is setting over an idyllic landscape!
Uh oh. Also, why won't the door open?
Okay, bad stuff is leaking from the back of the pod... looks like we had engine trouble.
Wow... we made a mess when we hit!
You stand outside of the crashed pod, hoping you don't fall into the burning waste. You look at the map that you must have snapped just before you hit.
So where does that leave you? Stranded with no memory. Maybe something in the survival chests in the pod. It's dark... and there's something moving in the shadows.
Have at'er.
Saskatooncraft Updated to Beta 1!
Notch and the Mojang crew updated Minecraft to Beta 1.0, and like good little munchkins, we've updated Saskatooncraft to the latest version. We don't have the Hey0 mod installed, since it hasn't been updated yet, but as soon as it is, we'll have that on there, too.

Saskatooncraft Map, 2010 December 2
The world just keeps growing. You can see the Wizard's Tower that I built, Andre'sand Dan's castle, and the new skywalk built of stone and glass (as well as the old skywalk that didn't quite get completely blown up like I thought it did!
Click to embiggen the map, but fair warning: it's around 26MB in size! It's very detailed though.

Wow. There's been some expansion, some creation, and aparrantly, some destruction too. (Click to embiggen).
