I've got about 8 stacks of normal rails and 3 stacks of powered rails just tell me where you want me to put them.

Thanks Csargo! If you're happy to spare them, you could drop them off at my main place (take the rail line to the City of Aridhol, then immediately turn right out of the station). Feel free to stock up on anything you're short of while you're there - I've been doing a lot of mining for iron lately, so I have huge surpluses of diamond, coal, redstone and the like.

Also @Vladimir, was there anything you wanted in exchange for your rail?

[spankythehippo]

Right...

So nothing specific decided on the area around n00bHotel and the assembly hall?
IMO I think it would be nice to have a dense common area on the flat terrain around the assembly hall (can't remember what it is called ingame). Our town houses could be built in the back-ground. A nice plaza outside the hall with buildings around adopting the brick of the hall and similar modernity.
If you want an old-town it should be removed from the hall as that is pretty modern looking.
Modernity calls for grid blocks... You can build housing with alleys leading into backyard plazas in the middle of the city blocks. And the straight roads existing already in the area calls for continuation of like-wise planned road work (just saying).

If we could establish the main plaza and the start of a few blocks around the hall, I could start on designs for the shops, which could be further adapted to suit your own particular taste.

Given the current layout of the city, the modernised part will take up the majority of it. To make room for the other sections, the grid needs to be expanded A LOT. The medieval/Roman architecture should be surrounding the Arena, with the modernised are around the Town Hall. From there, the other sections can be easily worked out.

Like you I'm also in need of iron and maybe redstone but I won't need them until later. I would love a skull or two.

I put all the stacks in your tools chest and took a couple diamonds.

I'm afraid I don't have any skulls, but I left a couple of stacks of redstone blocks where I left the iron before.

I agree, but at the same time we risk becoming too ambitious if separate the sections a great deal. I have another proposal for the Old Town:



This area is large and has some interesting terrain to build on. You will note that there are already some structures there. Those were built by a RL friend of mine and I haven't seen him online in a long time. If we want to use this area, I could ask him whether he intends to come back. If he doesn't, we can knock those buildings down and build over the area.

Update on OrgCity layout... some incorporated suggestions and a few visual thoughts.



The orange squares are some suggested shop buildings with space for beautification/plaza

It looks like TC automated his cobblestone generator. Or maybe it's the new sand maker?

I do not have a cobblestone generator or a sand maker. If you're referring to the silos, those are simply mass-storage systems. I got tired of sorting through 10-15 chests of cobble.

Good idea. Has anyone used that sand maker that was made for us?

[TinCow]

Yep, I use it whenever I want to make sand.

[Nigel]

Thanks for taking the initiative, Sigurd.

I like the way this is looking. Perhaps we can still realize the park behind the Assembly Hall; and put that railroad line under ground.
Just some thoughts.

[Csargo]

All the time, it's very useful.

Who's building the castle at x = 869 z = 4356?

[Sigurd]

Who's building the castle at x = 869 z = 4356?

Yeah.. inquiring minds needs to know I have asked the same previously, but no reply.

Woah.. what happened to the large die?

[TinCow]

I think that's Csargo, but I'm not positive on that.

Sazak and I knew someone would ask very soon. We got rid of it, in case it's needed for the city. In it's stead, we put a memorial monument, with a little surprise written on it.

[Sigurd]

Someone is also working on the volcano. It seems the lava is being removed.

Nice to see some preparatory work being done on the city already. Due to its scope, this project has high odds of failing to materialize unless we actually get started on it. Unfortunately, RL issues have largely kept me away from MC this week and will continue to do so through most of the weekend. I highly encourage people to just get started on it if they are interested in it. I will join in once I have more time to game.

So it is a GO for the area around the capitol building? The shop area and the roads tagenting the capitol and n00b hotel? Everybody agrees?

I'm all for it.

[TinCow]

It has my approval as well.

[Vladimir]

Ya'll have fun. I'm clearing out a mess of Nether and will be there for a while. I'll start stockpiling Netherbrick.

[Vladimir]

So the die of eternally disappointing design choice is gone? That's oddly prophetic considering I just went mining for coal and it is the only thing I didn't find.

Dang, this was one of the buildings I still wanted to visit.
Ah well, life goes on and I just cant have it all.

The Castle is the south is Csargo's all right. I chatted about it with him the other day. He still needs loads of sand to complete it.

[Papewaio]

If we are building around the capital please think about a hippodrome.

Horses are coming in 1.6 and you can make your own saddles... Mine will be Blazing...

I'm pretty sure there will be a mod, similar to MobArena, centred on horse racing. Still, we would need the hippodrome for it.

[Papewaio]

And name it spankythehippodrome

[spankythehippo]

And name it spankythehippodrome

If that happens, I'll make a giant statue of myself overlooking the stadium.

It's certainly a very...spiritually enlightening message.

EDIT: Also, I just had to take this picture of one of my wolves. Aww....
