Plot sizes will vary but it's unlikely that they will be very large, the piece of land is quite awkward. The general idea of the town is for it to be a port-style town, like Anvil in Oblivion or Port Royal and Tortuga from Pirates of The Carribean. Because of that I'm hoping that residents will build appropriately styled houses, although I won't force anyone to do much.
I'll post more stuff here, as I do more work. Ta
EDIT:
Right, the Southern District is pretty much complete. There are four beachside 7x7 plots, and four boat plots.
The crossed areas are the plots. That's the general layout of that area, I'm working on streetlamps and beautifying the district, and then I'll start on the North District, which will probably be a bit posher and have larger plots.
EDIT 3:
Almost finished the North District, the plots are larger and it's a bit posher. I'll post some screenies of the layout. Please join, it would be nice if I did something that didn't fail horrendously for a change.
Directions:
Take the North rail. Once you reach Looneyville, get off and travel East past the Twisted Towers. Continue until you reach Ghost/Stealthy's landclaim/village, the travel south. You should see Port Royal, it has a sandstone lighthouse with a lava light.
EDIT 4:
Where the sandstone roads are is the North District. Plots will be made to measure. Where the sand is leads to the entrance of the public mine. The quarried out area of the hill will be the Governer's House (chez moi).
EDIT 5:
Mah house.
Hopefully in about a week and a bit the small island to the south east will come into my possession. I plan to build some form of access to it and build public facilities there, like furnaces, cauldrons, a town hall, public baths and possibly farms, if there's room. I might need help as I have next to no knowledge of how to make good farms.
And can people not take sand from the area around the mine? If that goes it will look rather ugly.
I'm clearing up the rules and making them more visible:
RULEZ.
- Ask either me or Jakeman for a plot. Plots in the north district are made to measure, plots in the south are 7x7. Moorings are also available.
- Make your houses pwetty! Dirt is banned, please try and make your house more interesting on the outside than a cobble box.
- Do not build a tower without my permission. Keep to about three stories maximum, if you're not sure if it's too tall, ask me or Jakeman to decide.
- Provided you don't interfere with anything else in the town, I don't mind you building slightly out of your plot. For example, I'll allow balconies overhanging a road by one block. Don't go nuts.
- Don't edit the town outside your plot. I'll be annoyed if I find people nicking sand from around town and things.
You can build down as far as you like. I'll allow mining out of basements, although other basements and things take priority over mining. - Keep your plots well lit. Remember to light your roof!
- For boats, the hull must be made of wood/logs or iron if you really wanted. I do not mind so much about the rest of the ship so long as it's not hideous.
- Of course, standard server rules too.
