Unfortunately, that would mean anyone who spawned would end up on top of the cart station. I think the default is to spawn on whatever is the top layer. It would need to be underground if it is going to be anywhere around the compass.
You can set your home by typing in /sethome, which will give you your /home position. Then /spawn is spawn is spawn. As for supplies, you probably shouldn't raid the storeroom all that much (lest you anger TO). It's mostly there for newbies.
I was thinking that maybe we could all pitch in to get you there. After all, we got AeroZ here last year and that was from friggin Sweden!
(By "we", I mean those who donated to get him over here. I was sadly unable to contribute that time for being broke.)
If it's just the switch to Beta, that would make me feel better about humanity in general. Unfortunately, I don't know off hand. I've been taking it easy on Minecraft so I don't screw up my sleep schedule for work.
Well... that's just great. One splurge down. See what you made me do Dhsu?
Anyway, I picked up the two Monkey Island special editions, Tales of Monkey Island, and Portal.
