Hello players,
Soon there will be a clean-up of unpleasing / useless buildings near the spawn area.
The spawn area will also be extended in its protection by a good 20 blocks or so and buildings in that area will be moved for safety / removed.
All buildings that have been destroyed will have the materials placed in a chestroom near the spawn, with all contents of the chests moved as well as the house materials moved. The chests will be heavily moderated and we will do our best to label them to the correct owners!
This also leads into the introduction of the Tartan Rule. Staff now have the permission to destroy useless buildings near the spawn. This will be used with caution, as a general rule of thumb a building that is under grounds for removal is a 5x5 cobblestone hut that has not been touched for 2 weeks. It will not be used for anything other than making things look a bit more pretty and giving a bit more breathing room!

If you have a structure near the spawn that you feel should be kept, or pasted a bit out of the way... please use this form to notify us:
Starting next week, this clean-up project will begin (giving time for form responses to be entered). If you have any additional concerns regarding this, feel free to ask Sploorky and I via a PM. Thank you!​

Uh-oh...
Don't worry Shmid! We haven't decided if you can pay 25 USD to build within 5,000 blocks of spawn or 500 emeralds yet. Everything will be quite appropriately done so that only staff and @roobarb_pie can build. Cheerio!

The clean-up has begun. Buildings that have not been touched in years and have been aged by the local rodents have been cleaned up. A few things have been swapped around as well, and it looks much more open as well! We are very open to whatever buildings are built there, hopefully this time around it might look a bit more pleasing to the eye ;)

It also seems that some tree-loving squirrels have grown a forest by Carthage with the remainder of their winter acorns! We'll need the heftiest of lumberjacks and the most diligent of tree punchers to clean it up!

Special thanks to Da_Jinks, emosquirrel, Old_Man_Oak63 and the rest of the staff for being awesome! Much love, hopefully an opportunity can be sprung up from this!
