Project Protection: It's Dangerous!

[Aristodemes]

Project name:  It's Dangerous!

Project location:   X:-355   Y: Bedrock to Sky   Z: 2543 to 2798    /home Aristodemes

Contributors: Aristodemes, Interbane, KenziePippers, Debater04, Zeradeth, Nhataley

Mayor: Aristodemes

Approximate dimensions: 224x256

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings: This project is not a building but a gargantuan piece of art, that being said it does currently contain three completed / decorated structures in the immediate vicinity. One of these structures is intended as a viewing platform with a perfect vantage of both "It's Dangerous" and the adjacent project by Interbane the "Necro Ziggurat"

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any: After a few months of endless shearing, digging, and building this project is finally complete. Interbane and I have begun integrating it into the projects for the "Necro Ziggurat" with the building of the viewing tower, as well as connections from the catacombs of the ziggurat to the base "It's Dangerous". Future integration is intended though we haven't yet decided quite how to proceed.

My home setpoint will take you to the base of the viewing tower. Climbing to the top of this tower will allow you the aforementioned view of the "Necro Ziggurat" as well as "It's Dangerous. Warping to "/home Aristodemes Top" will take you to the very top of the project where you can truly get an appreciation for the scale of this work.


Why should we grant this project protection?

-This is an iconic image that will invoke a strong feeling of nostalgia in any gamers of our generation, while simultaneously tying this image and those feelings to the world of Minecraft.

-The scale / scope of this is phenomenal (for a legit build). It's comprised of 57,344 blocks in the main project alone representing a horde of wealth to any would-be griefer. There are approximately 42,000 blocks of wool and 12,000 blocks of netherrack. The key elements of the project are built from over 1,000 rare and valuable materials such as gold, diamonds, and emeralds.

- The size of this project makes finding / fixing grief an uninviting task. I frequently have to patrol the project and replace missing blocks. Any blocks that are missing above the base of the project require me to build scaffolding just to reach them. As the project extends from bedrock to just below the upper limits of the sky this can be rather time consuming.

- This project is viewable from the Live Map, and is in fact so large that it is the only way to see it all at one time. It can / should be used in conjunction with many of the other impressive builds to advertise and draw new players to this amazing server.

Live map link please? 

[Aristodemes]

Good Idea LIEKABOWSE -

Here is the Live Map link: smp.opticraft.net/map/#/-399/64/2654/-3/1/0

Note that Emerald does not show up on the live map so a key feature can't be seen on the live map and must be viewed in person.

[Nhataley]

Lol Kag,

You seem proud of this for being on opticraft

[kagarium]

omfg LIEKABOWSE....


this really does deserve a protection


IT HAS A GIANT SKULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW COULD YOU NOT EXCEPT IT??

[LIEKABOWSE]

I am accepting it? I friggin love it, did you not see what I quoted from tabooti?

[Nyssa]

Is it just the pixel art? because Interbane already has protection on his build.

[zwaan111]

i think so

[Aristodemes]

Yes, it is just for the Pixel Art. The Necro Ziggurat already has City protection that extends to the first few steps that were cleared for this project. The pixel art is just a bit outside this protection zone.

I'd like to get protection for the art, and the stairwell leading to it. It wouldn't matter if it had independent protection from the Ziggurat, or if the Ziggurat's protection was expanded to include the art as well. Honestly, I'd even be happy if the protection were literally only the exact dimensions of the project itself. This was a massive undertaking, and my first direct and large contribution to the server. I'd like it to be around for a long time for others to enjoy.

Unfortunately, rejected.
