:meatroid: you can make a new town and you can leave someone in charge of solar, someone trustworthy, smart, and creative. you should leave Blackadder in charge.

:sir_luke: sure i can help, i have a ton of CLASSIFIED to help build your CLASSIFIED.

I R NOT CLOSING SOLARZ AFTR ALLZ

and yay USSR channel

[Byroe]

The new channel will be easy for us to talk about USSR RELATED THINGS ONLY, no need to turn it into another version of trade AKA EZ-WAY-2-GET-NOTICED channel.

Also Byroe, I would love to have some of your CLASSIFIED for my CLASSIFIED, maybe someday I can build another CLASSIFIED near the mega fort? Anyways I look forward to the construction of the CLASSIFIEDS!

PS: Sometimes It's fun just to talk about the CLASSIFIED so that way we can say CLASSIFIED to confuse people about the CLASSIFIED and the CLASSIFIED, it must sound very CLASSIFIED.

lol ya

Stevk44 and his town of Bodrum have joined the USSR! Rejoice!

yay. more USSR peoples and towns

Byroe, when can you give me the wool to expand Solar?? Or can you do it yourself? (add it behind the graveyard, spleef pit and the new water fountain) Also byroe you and power may need to move plots. Im thinking of making a large 'VIP' complex/mansion where i can shove all the ambassadors

EDIT: The escapecraft wiki says USSR stands for The Union of Saphirian Socialist Republiks. someone should change that
ALSO we should try and get the EC up and running. its a good idea and our embassy wont build itself. (i think we do have an embassy there but its not the right design i think)
AND can someone update the wiki to include Blackthorn and Solar and shove some screenshots of our towns in the wiki to.
ONE MORE THING we should also add the co-ords for each USSR town next to there name/description in the main post.
THAT IS ALL

EDIT OF AN EDIT:
CRAP, Solar still says its closing down can we have that changed back to normal also maybe chuck in a 'undergoing renovations'
(wow, ive never edited a single post so much before )
EDIT OF AN EDITED EDIT: In the main post under the 'Position' bit it says, Governor of Sunburnt: Random980 - In Charge of Solar City.
Its not called sunburn village anymore!
(so...many...edits... )
EDIT OF 3 OTHER EDITS: Im also looking for a mob-tower builder to make a mob tower under Solar also can we add the no. 28 Add the CLASSIFIED under the Solar cloud, to the main list of things that need doing. (I REFUSE to add anymore text to this!! )

Wow. Well i'll just list everything here then.

1. The Wiki: The name is right, the K is in there to make everything more Russian sounding. As for adding and updating the stuff on the wiki know this. I'm not the only one who has to update it. I don't even use it that often. Also there's a good chance that you all know your towns better than me. You guys can even edit the Saphiri page and the USSR page. After all Anyone can edit. After you make an account of course.

2. The EC: I wish some people went in and worked on it more. I haven't seen Superglitch in a really long time. I think he still comes on sometimes though. I really would like to see this place finished but we are already backed up on projects at least in Saphiri. WE did build an embassy there. It isn't official as I made it but Trevmonkey;s design was too big and he disappeared, so no one can build it correctly anyway.

3. Coordinates: Thats one thing that can be done. If i can i'll try to get the Coordinates today.

5 Solar City Stuff: all finished and updated.

[Volstag9]

Hello there folks! I thought that today would be a good time to put up a thread for Saphiri as almost every other town happens to have one... I'm really slow at this.

Anyway this will be a thread for discussing anything that has to do with Saphiri and the country, the United Soviet Saphirian Republics (USSR for short). Also if anyone wants to live in our city or have their town willingly join our country they can post here. But more on that below.

Effective immediately, this is our new national anthem.
-Found by Random980


Allies
Draconax
Mill City
Argentia

The Empire's Holdings

Saphiri - The capital of the USSR. The town is divided up into several districts. It has a large waterfront and even an airfield. It's directly north of spawn in a gulch like area by the desert.

Solar City - Nevermind! It isn't closing! however it is undergoing extreme renovations.

Blackthorn - A large town near the RSTP. It was the first city other than Saphiri to be built in the USSR. It has may examples of Powerfulkingt's architecture. Who is currently designing the Draconax-USSR Megafortress.

Cottonmouth - A castle far to the north of the continent which Saphiri is on. It is known as a great example of Luke's military designs.

Bodrum - Or newest town run by Stevk44!

(Note: If any town leader wants to add their own description feel free to tell me.)

Our current situation:
Population: Approximately 20 - 30 in Saphiri proper, unknown amount in Blackthorn & other settlements

Positions:
Leader/benevolent dictator: Volstag9 - basically rules the country. Handles diplomacy, typical stuff.
2nd in Command: Byroe - Handles things when the leader isn't on.
Head of Defense: Sir_Luke - the primarily builder of walls/traps, keeps armoury stocked
Governor of Castle Cottonmouth: Sir Luke - In charge of Cottonmouth
Governor of Blackthorn: Powerfulkingt - In Charge of Blackthorn
Governor of Solar City: Random980 - In Charge of Solar City
Governor of Underground City (?): Trevmonkey - In charge of the underground city
Governor of Bodrum: Stevk44
Other Prominent Residents: Mixizm, Duplicate, Superglitch, MrTachikoma, ilolz (if you want an honest position ask)

The order of the list has no relation to the priority

Joining up:
Want to join? Just post here in the forums or just contact us in the game world, if your a new resident byroe will give you a starters kit!

Also if you have a town and you want to join just post here in the forums. Anyone can do so were not exactly picky. Also if your a resident and you want to start a town yourself feel free to, it can be independent or part of our country, your choice really.

Also we will only accept towns if they join willingly. As in full agreement from the leaders. So were not forcing anyone to do anything.

Some people may say that all countries in this game are pointless. Your probably asking yourself why should you bother? Well for starters if you join you will certainly get a larger workforce to help on projects. Also its just fun to this kind of thing in minecraft, so i say why not?

Anyway that's pretty much it, pictures to come eventually!

*note. we may or may not be communist...

The Wiki: The name is right, the K is in there to make everything more Russian sounding.

I dont mean that, i mean your main post on this thread says the USSR stand for United Soviet Saphirian Republics, while the wiki says its, The Union of Saphirian Socialist Republiks. im simply asking which one is it
and when i can be bothered ill update the wiki myself.
The co-ords for Solar City are: x-650, z+210
also there is an EC thread here: http://www.escapecraft.net/phpBB3/viewt ... =19&t=2085
more edits...: THANKS BYROE i found wool, in a chest, in my saphiri home. there was about 4 stacks, im guessing it was byroe... if not we have a mysterious wool-giver at large.
Also despite having no houses in the USSR, does Nart still count as a member? He did the most work on Solar city other than me and built the 'sunburn lounge'. (and the ussr chat is strictly for ussr members right?)
Also the ONLY way to get up to saphiri keep, is ment to be via the bridge near the spleef pit right? Im asking cause someone keeps building stairs to the keep at west saphiri via the watch tower/walls.
and if you go ontop of the black november, look towards the main gate side, there's floating netherrack with rails on it that we should probably remove...

[warlockseer]

Looks like some of us had some fun!

[Byroe]

The mob tower is under construction and i need donations of cobble and/or dirt.

[Volstag9]

how much more do you thin you will need?

[Sir_Luke]

I'll try to donate cobble, I don't have any though.

[random980]

In the name of the USSR, i have claimed land in Fyra.
Its at: X-360 Y+69 Z+111
(take north railroad to half way and walk... and swim)
What i want to put here i have no idea, any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a USSR history/library center but im not really sure.

Edit: due to the location and amount of trees, dogs HAVE been known to spawn here

[Sir_Luke]

I think we should keep the USSR in the main server untill we fully devolope.

[Volstag9]

what do you mean fully develop.

Also we do have some sort of outpost on FS. while not exactly an USSR town many USSR residents live there.

[Byroe]

i got suspended for 20 days, and i admit i deserve it, but im still gonna monitor the forums n stuff.

[random980]

wernt you unbanned and given a warning or something?

also can people please start giving me ideas of what to put on our land in Fyra?
and can people also please enter ideas for the Solar City flag comp...the topic seems to have died after 2 posts.

Byroe, as far as i know, got suspended for something different.

As for the outpost in fyra, since im not really sure who would be living there, i say that we should just build a fort, since this is a new land we can make it a colony of some sort.

As for the flag competition, the thing i noticed is that people are not too thrilled to give ideas out. So you might as well design your own. But i'll post there nevertheless.

-and i did find the land you claimed, it looks good plenty of area for a coastal fort, i just couldn't build there yet.

[random980]

I like it so much i might put it up in Solar. its 21x21 and brown wool will replace the planks or logs and black wool for the obby
Also please rate and comment it here: http://www.escapecraft.net/phpBB3/viewt ... f=5&t=2252

[Sir_Luke]

What does that have to do with the USSR?! Byroe, can I have access to the Mob grinder? I after all was the one who tested the effect falling on the tower has on the human body during building. I did SCIENCE!!

Its USSR related cause im probably going to build it on Solar City! shuck
Also can i have access to the new mob tower aswell, i did help build it.

[Byroe]

everyone has access, there is a lift in the front pinned on a dirt block, its kinda hard to see but i never had a chance to make the entrance better.

[Volstag9]

well i accidentally updated after visiting a friend's server. So... I guess i'm taking a break for a while. I did backup but i messed up downgrading it.

I've learned a few things today. One never trust me to backup anything, Two i'm bad with windows 7, and three Notch updates a lot.

So i'll be gone for a while, but i'll still be on the forums and Ventrillo.

[Byroe]

can someone make the surface level of the mob tower? like an elevator or something?

[Sir_Luke]

I guess I could when I'm not busy sometime.

[Byroe]

On our list of things to do
2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 20, 22, and 23 are done and need to be crossed off the list on the op.
