The perpetual noon sun beat down on the knotted mass. Blue-shirted, unshaven men poured out of the lawn into a new world: a leaking garden hose of aspirations. There, among the lofty spires and squalid huts, each would form his own destiny. Block by block, wall by wall, creations were born.
And yet creation would never be without his counterpart - never a Zeus without a Hades. From the depths of the world sprang others borne only to destroy. With their operators crushing the left mouse button they besieged Creation and tore through walls with reckless abandon. What is the source of this dark rage? Misunderstanding? Prejudice? The fury of adolescence? The heart of Greif will ever remain buried.
Only one hero could save Creation. As hoards of greifers poured through the half-constructed worlds, their eyes alit upon a new goal – a giant question mark cube. Who could create such perfection? Looming golden and gleaming along their path it beckoned them. And in the very moment of triumph, when each raised his arm to destroy – he vanished. Again and again Greif was conquered. The Trojan Horse had finally swallowed up its riders.

Reading this stuff makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

These creations seemed almost too good to be true, so I had to go see for myself... Amazing job!
The creation of the Space Needle was almost symbolic to me (since I do live near Seattle but I've never been inside of it once)
We had all offered you advice and you followed it like it was a blueprint and came out with all these wonderful creations. I do know it's tough to find motivation to accomplish all this hard work, but after seeing all this work that you have done, I don't see how this motivation would've failed you.
You have my recommendation. Outstanding work 
Thanks so much man, I really appreciate you saying that, and also the great advice I've gotten from you and many others. And next time you're in Seattle, you should really take the Space Needle tour, totally worth it.

Yeah unless you're only planning on using 2 brick types as well I think it'll come out better...

Title: CRAFTER – catapult5 Ingame name: catapult5 Join date: Oct. 10, 2011 List your creations, and the worlds they are on: Cat5 Stadium (Metropolis) A massive football arena on the edge of the city with all the details – ticket counters, food stands, press boxes, and two huge locker rooms. Stadium seating is accessible in three tiers. The architecture is post-modern, mixing gothic ramparts with modern design cues. http://s1117.photobucket.com/albums/k585/catapult50/catapult5%20-%20Crafter/Cat5%20Stadium/Catapult Tower (Metropolis) A diamond-shaped tower at the edge of city park. The interior features a lounge, restaurant, convention center, dance hall, and even an indoor waterfall. Landscaping extends from the grounds to the building itself, extending the park into the skyscraper itself. http://s1117.photobucket.com/albums/k585/catapult50/catapult5%20-%20Crafter/Catapult%20Tower/Taj Mahal (Builder13) An artistic rendition of the palace flows with hidden fountains and an immaculate mosaic floor. Multiple balconies holding hanging plants provide a view of the massive center dome. http://s1117.photobucket.com/albums/k585/catapult50/catapult5%20-%20Crafter/Taj%20Mahal/Museum Tower (Metropolis) A smaller black-and-white tower next to Catapult Tower features elegant decoration and hanging chandeliers. http://s1117.photobucket.com/albums/k585/catapult50/catapult5%20-%20Crafter/Museum%20Tower/Tree House (Builder13) An enormous hollow twisting tree holds three separate houses and a giant spiral staircase. http://s1117.photobucket.com/albums/k585/catapult50/catapult5%20-%20Crafter/Tree%20House/Space Needle (Builder13) A scale replica of Seattle’s most famous building. Two restaurants connected by a sky-high elevator feature delicate lamps and tiled floors. http://s1117.photobucket.com/albums/k585/catapult50/catapult5%20-%20Crafter/Space%20Needle/Extra (Anything else you want to mention): My goal has been set on Crafter for some time because the extra commands will help immensely with larger projects. Because Builders+ have been very rare on Classic since the start of SMP, I’d also be better able to help with crowd control. I remain one of the most active players in Classic.

I agree with Salas, you can do some amazing things with Illustrator, especially if you've got a pad for it. I use Illustrator just about every day.

Metropolis was not created for people to build buildings that take up 1/5 of the entire world..
The entire stadium is less than 1/10th of the world. And I thought you'd be happy to fill some of that dead space... especially because I haven't seen another player build in Metropolis in more than 2 months. Go ahead and move the stadium if you don't like it there.

Thanks for opening this up, it adds a lot of open space for new projects. I've already put one skyscraper up, hopefully more to come!

I'm just putting the final touches on the Taj Mahal in the current builder world, which I was lucky enough to start early on and have enough space. My next project will be the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona, but I'd like to find a nice big patch for it. Any work on when a new Builder world will open up?
