[release]Minecraft is an awesome game, there's no doubt about it and with the coming survival MP, people will want to build things together to combat the various monsters that come at night.

This is why we as a community have decided that "hey, let's make a city together when the time comes!".

And that is why I present to you this thread!

There are many things that need to be organized if this is going to work however, and the megathreads go too fast to be able to keep up with the discussion there.

A lot of things need to be decided regarding this city, we need to decide how big it's going to be, what the purpose of it is, what laws that will be upheld within the city and other numerous rules regarding building in the city.[/release]

[highlight]We have an offical name for the city, it's name is...[/highlight]

[B]The first question, how will the city look like?[/B]
[highlight]We have come to the conclusion that the city shall look like the map below, it is however only the general idea because the nature where we build our city could greatly differ from what gman_freeman might've had in mind.[/highlight]

A rough sketch on how the (possible) use of sewers will look like, if the city is built as planned :
[img]http://i31.tinypic.com/33046s4.jpg[/img]

(Obviously subject to change depending on the environment).

[B]The second question is, what is the purpose of the city?[/B]

[highlight]Our city shall be a moderately sized one, we shall let people live and work within the city limits, but we will not hinder those that wish to live outside the city.

This means that you are allowed to live and work in the city IF YOU WISH, you are not forced to do so however and are free to go outside and explore/build on the outside world whenever you feel like it.[/highlight]

[B]
The third question is how we will work it out with resources.[/B]
[highlight]We have come to a conclusion regarding resources, we will build the city according to these plans :[/highlight]

1: Everyone makes a small settlement somewhere that isn't very flat and gets basic materials.

2: One party looks for a suitable location, the other party mines and gets more materials. The second party can split into lumberjacks and miners, the ratio depending on the things needed.

2.5: The building coordinator puts dirt outlines of the building placement as well as construction of roads.

3: Basic construction of house, while the first party mentioned in step 2 does the gathering, while the former gatherers do construction.

3.5: People take materials from their former houses and move it to the city houses.

4: At this point, roads are placed and residential houses are finished. People choose their respective jobs and build buildings according to it (farms, mines, tree farms, etc.).

5: After those buildings are up, people work on aesthetic buildings such as towers, pubs, fountains, lava moats, barracks, and things that are not as crucial to life.

5.25: Building Coordinator works on placement of sewers.

5.5: The sewers are built

5.75: Sewers are filled with water and connected to houses.

6: The city expands outward.

(This is subject to change)

[B]Fourth question is, should we assign everyone to work or will we let it all be free for all, with the city as some sort of safe haven (linked with the second question)?[/B]

This is sort of touched on in the second question, but we need to have a clear purpose with the city. Should we make it a place for newcomers to hang around in so that they don't go out and get killed by monsters, should we make it a place where we funnel all our resources together so that we can build marvelous buildings/projects, should we make it a place that's sort of the center of the world and a place where we can trade with each other?

[B]Fifth question, should we use currency, and if so : What currency?[/B] Majority of people want no currency until a currency system is added by Notch himself. They then decided that we just trade resources for now.

[B]Sixth question is who's going to be in the committee that will have full authority to decide in matters that we deem unnecessary to have a major vote on.[/B]
[highlight]After a long voting process the committee has been finalized![/highlight]
[B]
Here is the list of those in the committee, these people have the full responsibility of organizing the city.[/B]
Drunken_Chair/profane
gman_freeman
Gregah
i300

Zarfa

[Release]Server: voice1.brohoster.com
Port: 9002[/Release]

A few questions that needs to be discussed, I am confident that no one here on facepunch will grief each other just to be dicks, but we need to make sure everyone knows the rules in this co-joined project so that there will be no misunderstandings on what this project will be about.

I'll update this post with whatever progress we make now in the planning state.

:siren: [highlight]There are also other communities planned to be located elsewhere, below is a list of those![/highlight] :siren:

The Imperial Kingdom.
[I]Where wealth meets warfare.[/I]

[B]What is the Imperial Kingdom?[/B]
[highlight]The Imperial Kingdom is populated by Imperials, and what do Imperials love? Wealth, and warfare.
The idea of there community is that anything can be got via; stealing and raiding.[/highlight]

[B]So there a bunch of Random Death Matching rich blokes?[/B]
[highlight]Random Death Matching? No. They don't like to pick on the little guys, so if someone or a community is being Naughty they might attack - Think of it as karma, what goes around comes around.
You can also offer them wealth and resources in exchange for peace, you can even make a sister village.
As for the Rich part? Well they like to think they are, but as of now, no they are average.[/highlight]

[B]What is the Imperials homeland? What does it look like?[/B]
[highlight]The Imperial city of Minecraft, of course!
They have a medium sized defensive castle;[/highlight]
[img]http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/1170/ernst.png[/img]
[B]Do the Imperials get access to everything in the Imperial city?[/B][highlight]
Everything that is publicly stored, yep, as well as everything that you have made or own.
Basically each room has a large chest for all your personal stuff; wether that is; Bacon, Swords, Mine picks or a Sex doll, all that should and probably can only be accessed by you. In the dock each slot can have a sign put next to it, if you put a sign with your name on it next to your slot that shows it is you slot and your boat.[/highlight]

[B]So can I join?[/B]
[highlight]Yep' anyone can join, send [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=259839"]FreddiRox[/URL]! a PM[/highlight]

Hello world.

[ClosetSkeleton]

I really want to see how this will work out. It seems like a big project that could be easily ruined.

[ManningQB18]

Retoasting for new thread.

Are there any jobs that I could take that wouldn't require too much devotion, I'm going to be pretty busy come next month.

[mr.killa]

Good morning new thread!

There are one time projects that a lot of people are going to do.

[profan]

Right v2, This should be interesting.

[ManningQB18]

Hey profan, in the case that game difficulty is decided server-side, what difficulty will you pick?

[nerdygamer]

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;23495987]Hey profan, in the case that game difficulty is decided server-side, what difficulty will you pick?[/QUOTE]

Hard. Only real men pick hard.

[FreddiRox!]

Nerdy, Can I be unbanned from your team speak when the SMP comes out.
One last chance, [i]Pweeeeeeease[/i]?

Also, I was making a soldier skin for the Imperial Kingdom.
I need your ideas;

Have no armour on the skin itself.
Make soldiers have a minimum of leather armour, (Rate Agree)

Have fake armour on the skin (Rate Disagree)

[Turkey72]

Where will we start the mining? from ground level or dig through a mountain?

[Canary]

This is turning out to be shit, On the last thread we argued about the committee because it's unfair on other players and you said it was just a group for ideas yet now you have more stupid groups.

This is why everything Facepunch users make together fail.

[Gregah]

I really hope for hard too, the game is pretty easy even on hard.
Manning : I'm pretty sure you can just join in on any work you want once the server is online.

Nice that we're on the second thread, when I created the first one I thought it would slowly die but it hasn't :3:

[profan]

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;23495987]Hey profan, in the case that game difficulty is decided server-side, what difficulty will you pick?[/QUOTE]

The highest difficulty possible.

Stop post about trying to get unbanned from the TS. Your not.

[DrBones]

So, guys. What's the status on farming regulations? Should we let people own farms in their own homes, or should we have farms outside the city limits? Should we hire private security guards to guard against mobs that would trample crops, and players that would steal seeds and wheat?

Wait so for my Imperial City do I have to have a coordinator? Or is it just for the Puchopolis city?
