    Thanks for moving the cannon! I do think it is a cool and fun build to have and would want to set it up again somewhere nearby.

    That plot you labelled as 2, I graded early on and made available. Someone did build on it but did not leave a sign with their name. It has not been touched for a couple weeks now. While I agree following up first would be the respectful option, I also believe not touching the spot for this long is a pretty clear sign it is abandoned. And that would be OK if it wasn't right in the middle of town.

    I'll leave a small sign announcing my intention, but eventually I will clear the plot and make it available again if it continues to sit.

    I am following Isildur's suggestion from last season, in that most people prefer a nice flat ground and well established plot to choose to build. So far, it has worked out quite well.

    I would not assume to know when people are done looking for plots. All of the plots I have made recently have been claimed, even though it felt demand was slowing down. I also have only cleared a few plots at a time to prevent too much blank space.

    I intend to free up plots near the center of town which have not been touched for over two weeks. While I respect an early claim, I feel you should build something or risk losing the spot.

    Last post/discussion I saw was, the area near Bauke's place is no longer recommend for building more residences as it is too close to the industrial district.

    To be more specific, my current plan is to make available the plot opposite Durinthal's home. The space opposite Creesch's home, I do not plan to grade, but I will clear cut some trees between there and the hospital.

    @creesch How would you feel about me moving or removing the high speed railroad launcher in front of your place? I had hoped to grade and encourage more building in that area, being right on the main road, but the high speed rail thing is in the way of that plan.

    I am no portal expert, but I do believe there are a few blocks of "wiggle room" in the over world where the portal stays the same in the Nether.

    It's important for me to know if we could move it or not because if we can, I'd like to put a town map on the wall in the community center where the portal currently is.

    If the town portal's location is not locked in, I'd love to move it out from the town hall.. It could be on the opposite corner around -232, 58

    As was said, there's no perfect time. Just gotta pick something and announce it so people can prep. Let's do Jan 17th at 2pm EST. I'll make a post on the message board in town later if nobody objects.

    Sounds good to me. I'm open to reorganizing the whole area if need be.

    I've put up signs at the crossroads in the town center to reserve space for a transit station and other public works, perhaps a nice garden and public square. I'm planning on building some type of "town hall" in the space behind the message board, and the board may change location.

    Speaking of the board, we're getting close to filling it in. I'll begin clearing signs starting with the oldest, so that there is always a blank space.

    I had anticipated the first farm, the animal pens, the area around the message board, would all be redeveloped to be more of a public square eventually. Including a transit station, though I'm not sure if there is enough space there now for a full "hub".

    There are already builds below the surface in the center of town, so some surveying will be required to find a good spot for elevators down to an ice road as well.

    I've decided to keep running Distant Horizons for now. My reasoning is that the DH server side support will help me explore the new world better by generating builds happening in the distance. I will definitely come back to Voxy as it gets farther in development.

    Been looking forward to this! I'm down for any start time that is not Nov 1st. Thanks again to Tea for hosting.

    Main thing I'd like to say is, I hope we can build another big Tildetown near spawn. Some of this work starts at world gen, and making sure there is a nice area nearby to build a town in. I think it helps to have a generated village in the spot to further draw people in.

    Additionally, I'd love to have a special event like in S1 where the normally protected spawn area can be developed. I think it will make starting out easier for new people and will mesh better with the eventual development around spawn.

    Being a Cleveland Browns fan is like watching The Titanic and rooting for the ship not to sink. Truly believing in your heart that the ship will not sink.

    And inevitably, when the ship does go down, that moment, that feeling, is what being a Browns fan is all about.
