Lets Plan The Layout!

I say "Yay!" to that. :3

How about TWO Anubi facing each other at the entrance leading up to the whirlpool/Sobek?

That would be sick. However, if possible, I'd like to //copy, //paste the statue so it's perfectly congruent with the original.

Me likey, but yeah, WE may be needed if we're gonna make 3 giant statues...

oh don't be pussies. It doesn't have to be finished this afternoon. End of the week is fine too.

Nice idea, well this is going to take a hella lot dye+wools!

Okidoke, Imma start work when servers up!

A cat is fine too. (damn my knowledge of memes. :3)

Anyway, we could get a LOT of wool and whatnot. Dyes may be tricky (except ink, bonemeal, roses, flowers, and cacti) but that's why we have money, right? :3

Ok so lets work out the entrance for the 2 anubis, where/how the Sobek will he placed/made...

And a completely undiscussed question! Walls Yay or nay? And how?

Yeah we need to decide on this, it would be a much nicer looking place without, but I heard the towns would eventually become like factions, battling one another and also allying with eachother (Is this still planned?), if so, I think an open plan would be highly unpractical...

We should have giant walls of obsidian. :3

Neh that sounds stoopid

This post was edited to hide my lapse in judgment. :3

Killing guests to the town? Urm :L

Eastern/desert cities almost always have walls, sandstone would be perfect for it.

Think of the walls of Carthage or Alexandria or something like that.

Thank you very much Wolfhe.

Glad I could help.

But yes, most large ancient desert cities had large stone walls. Ever played Assassin's Creed 1? EVERY city had a humongous stone wall (which, sadly, made all the environments kind of blur together, but Abydos will have much more defining characteristics... plus there aren't any other major desert cities on the server).

The environments were one of the best parts of Assassin's Creed. Ancient cities like Damascus always had huge defensive walls.

How much are plots in Abydos going to cost?

Filler has a formula for zoning costs universally and we intend to go by that (not sure if I can make said formula public or not).

That formula is for extending the city zones beyond the initial 175x175. It gives values that are WAAAY too high for plots.

Work has began, expect to see a whirlpool very soon? I hope so.

After abit of research I'm abit sceptical about this whirlpool,
If aapl could please explain what hes gonna do it would be much appreciated, after much browsing I have not seen a spiral whirlpool in minecraft yet...

Oi. So we'll actually be at a deficit for selling plots? That... kinda sucks. :/

I always have said that any rent money should be used for city improvements. That you guys decide to sell plots instead of rent them out as suggested is not my problem.

edit: for more read the general announcement here https://orcworm.forumotion.co.uk/t1761-major-cities-yayifications

To be honest, we may have about 30 plots in Abydos?
Managing rent on them would be, painful.
I suppose we should have some rented plots, around the whirlpool maybe? and the entrance? But renting every plot would be, rather hard, unless we employ a rent esque plugin, there any out there?

Hard? Oh come on. The city council consist of three people so 30 plots / 3 = 10 plots per person. Surely you should be able to manage that much?

I think managing rent shall will be manageable. But, plugins such as (forget its official name) bank/treasuries for city's money would be highly helpful for managing such things.

Edit: Oh yeah, btw Dan its impossible to create an actual circular motion, but still it will look great have faith!

Ok
I beleive in ya'

Whirlpool is ready for creation Awaiting for Aapl to receive required tools and added to zone

I'll try to find something that suits our needs. No promises though.

/Region addmember Abydos Aapl2 is what you need Grin

Sweet cheers Filler

Ah yes i forgot we had permission to add Cheers Dan

EDIT: Whirlpool is complete! Well... Mostly! Come check it out, too lazy for screen shots (Yes, i am THAT lazy) so use x=3458.3, y=73.6, z=-1235.9

Any feedback/comments are appreciated

BIG thanks to Aapl2 for actually creating the whirlpool

Apologies for Double post, (unsure wether people will realize this is new news!)

Lizard and Dan please check the Dirt that has been placed in the square, its to represent how i think we could lay out the town. As if we have like 3 or more large squares, each one appearing after every 3 of the water drops as you will see and we flatten on each stage to be flatland and place sandstone/sand as bottom tile and then create pathways/bridges ext.

Sorry if i haven't explained this well, whatcha think?

Finally someone who realizes they made a doublepost. We need more people like you and less like..the (insert number that is over one here) posters.

Please your too kind...

Wait. I tp'd to those coords and got.

I'll upload pics of the whirlpool when I get the chance. It really IS beautiful.

The coords are 3450,65,-1236 Gamer. You forgot the minus. Also be aware that it currently TPs you smack dab in the middle of the whirlpool construction so get your compass out asap.

Maybe we need a trap in the vortex of the whirlpool...

Liz, Dan thoughts on the leveling (represented with the dirt like mentioned above)?

wold be cool if you added lavav a fall donw to the middle of the whirl pool.

Sounds interesting, will have to work with the statue concept though, if we're still having one inside/ontop/hovering ext the whirlpoole
