At ? was a building I made, Was thinking it to be a passage to the vault or a bank or something on those lines.

Tell me what you think.

I'm thinking...Seeing Where the walls end, I dont think everyone can fit inside the walls. However, how will the people who live outside the walls get in? Am I thinking... large underground station... that can also go somewhere else ( "WTF Island, the Keep?) That everybody links to underground..? But maybe that is to dangerous, but then again, everyone can always LWC their doors, or block them... then the resources required...this could be difficult...and of course, the land around is sandy...sand falls. But- if we are attacked, it could provide fast transport & backup....hm, what do you all think?

I recon that the docks should be made before the keep/lighthouse idea on the wtf place. Then, we could build it up to a large capital city and then maybe start another town somewhere near to the edge of the map maybe?

3 wall designs, did these a while ago, so we can sub some of the materials (I don't think we could afford so much lightstone!). I don't use any other texture pack, so if you want to see what it looks like you'll have to mockup your own on CMP!

Our walls would probably be double this height. My favourite is #2 currently, since it fits with our theme and we could do with using some of our iron blocks. =)

Since i'm technically in Primus, I am willing to help with giving supplies and such and/or building.
I will stick with my own town though.

Blocking off doors is illegal ;) And if there happened to be a chest on the otherwise, LWC would also be illegal.

*peeks in* Ah, those wall designs are really cool. Dagon has Stone Brick, and you guys have these cool aesthetic designs that also function in the same way.... I find that awesome.

Now we need a type of wall that makes us unique... Grr... Must experiment.

Also, I wouldn't be able to decide on one of those, nice job LISTINGS =3

Hm... QUESTION! If I say filled a wall with water, put pistons in it, and could open the pistons with redstone to push away intruders/ mobs with water, would that be legal on the server? Because it may be flooding, but when the pistons are engaged again, the water recedes...That may be ( if legal) a possible mechanism we could program into the walls.

@joethepro123 it's legal, since it's our land and we're not actually blocking them, just making it more difficult. We had something very similar back in SV.1, but programming it into the walls may be hard (they aren't that thick). Probably just stick 'em over the gate(s) or main entrance.

It's looking like #3 for the walls, but it'll be a stonebrick/cobble hybrid. I'm not sure if we need to re-design our pathways... If you take a trip over to Aeres you'll see they're starting a new town build with a stone slabs/stone brick paths (It's too sexy).

Anyway, start stocking up on smooth stone. We're going to need it.

I have 20 stacks of cobble, and quite a lot of smooth stone as well, I will give this all to the building of the walls. Tell me when you need me to do this.

PROGRESS UPDATE:
The more observant among you will have noticed our awesome wall. Progress on the wall has been great and I'd just like to say thanks to all those that helped!

It's grew from its original 1 level that most people helped with, to 2, so @Inon, your tower needs extending - I left this for you to tailor in your own way but can do it myself if wanted. Most towers around the walls won't be too high, but the gate towers will be quite high (providing they don't look too stupid).

There is a TON of digging and chopping to be done to pave the way for the rear walls. Even if you just make a start on the trees it's something... Also feel free to fill in the patterns if you have any mossy/darkwood.

In other news; I'm mandating that ALL houses must have a sign with the owner (or empty) on the front. I keep meaning to go about and add signs to those that are missing...

I saw the wall being raised another level so decided to hault tower design until I knew how high the wall would be and the style. I'll overhaul the design as soon as I can.

EDIT: I think I may be more of a details person, and the multi-level wall bugs my OCD to no end D: I feel terrible with giving you yet more work but I doubt I'll be able to finish up.

We need A LOT more people to start working on the wall as fast as possible. @D0mac seems to be doing the most work and he's doing a great job, but we need a bigger work force. After all those "revenge raids" I'm on the edge right now.

So far the only way we survived being raided for a while by Dlmt3 and Defiant and Angel was, Notty's Trap, And Dagon (Specially Jammy, who killed both Dlmt3 and Defiant)

But when there were only 2 Primus members left on, and no one there to help, we were fighting non stop.. and continuously dieing. Spawn killing, everything :/ Spawnkilling=Already reported.

So I was thinking we get some people who are very good with Redstone, or train people to use redstone, and make some traps.

Also I want some sort of chest room where, EVERY member in town is required to have a room in this gigantic house which will contain two front doors, which should/might have an LWC Password shared by Primus alone and all the doors leading directly to someones chest, also protected by a magical spell.

Also MORE organized raids, more controlled raids, and less raids all together. The reason Aeres says they are continuously raiding is because we are raiding them.

Last night's raid

It started out with Defiant running in and, saying he was just selling bread, and Chocolate_God was escorting.
Then it turns out about 4-5 people came up and killed Chocolate then, they were spreading across the whole town, looking for things to take, (@Walker1212 almost had almost 50 gold and 2 stacks of iron stolen which were inside a furnace, I luckily found them and beat up the person near it :eek: and ran and put them in my chest. I'll still give you those items Walker tomorrow, since I can't login today.). Dlmt3 killed me like 4 times, then Lemmy spawn killed me once, and following that I am in my house hiding from raiders when Angel kills me with my back turned watching the raid.

So we need some sort of security system going, and something which will allow us to survive with only 1-2 members. on.

Some Ideas
