Title: Town of Seaside
Post by: Xeadin on May 31, 2012, 07:37:48 am
Hey there, folks. It's been a while since I've last updated on a project. The underground city I planned on working on didn't go so well, especially when the server's population exploded.

Now, I have found some time to work on an actual town-- not anything near extravagant as some of the cities on this server.

As such, the town of Seaside is born.


--The Town of Seaside--
Seaside is a small town that shares a testificate village. The primary focus of Seaside is to expand into a sort of loose rich cultivation/ retirement settlement for retired/ veteran players and staff members. A perfect getaway, so to speak.

The town supports a spawn, two condominium units, a block museum (contains all of the blocks that can be found in the world of Minecraft), and a market. Everyone is allowed to look through the town by accessing /home Xeadin.

There are some buildings in the distance that surround the town, but are not actually considered part of the town itself. If you wish to join your land with the town, I would be willing to do so to boost the population and turn the town into a local province.

Here is a Live Map View (http://smp.opticraft.net/map/#/-2574/64/667/-2/0/0) of the town.

Xeadin -- Town Owner
cirvin99 -- Resident/ Market Employee
Dumbbomb -- Resident
pbody -- Resident
sodasam -- Resident

The common theme for the town is wood and sandstone-based constructions. Stone can also be used as well, but make it look appealing. An all-cobblestone box might not look appealing and may be taken down for reconstruction or reconsideration (you will be notified first-hand). Some people do come and go, so some buildings may become old and abandoned. Those will be cleared to make room for other players. Of course, it will not be taken down without prior notice.

--Important Notes/ Updates--
Come one, come all!

Even though the town has no definitive borders, please try to respect the property of other's works.

Update: Slight progress has been made. The market is still not complete, but is close to being operational.

Also, I have done some 'holiday decoration' for the spooky nights :P

Personally, I don't like to force people to make applications simply because it's just a town-- not a large, established city.

If it becomes too big of a deal, I may have to start doing town applications, but I don't wanna force-feed people to do town acceptance.

Basically, if you can build a decent house or mansion without making it look like a 'cobblestone box' or the equivalent, I'm fine with that. It doesn't have to be well-crafted, but I do encourage the house to look nice.

Some of you may have seen a cluttered mess at the Town of Seaside. I would like to inform you that a devastating storm swept much of the shores of Seaside and caused all sorts of blocks to go out of proportion. Thankfully, nothing significant was lost in the chaos, and many of the buildings still stand.


Furthermore, the Underwater Challenge is live! Needing to improve your swimming skills, or just want to give yourself a challenge while you have nothing to do? Come on down to /home Xeadin uwc and try it out! There are no prizes for this challenge, though the caverns may be retrofitted to involve specific challenges along the way and the caverns may be expanded if need be. So far, only leisure spelunking has been allowed for this challenge. If you do get to the other end, you may retry the course as many times as you want and try to time yourself on your excursions.

Be careful, though: there is a chance that you might suffocate within the caverns. This is designed to be an endurance challenge, so expect this to be a difficult course.
