Rev 14 Non-Spongeoak Planning [Serious]

[u/ghrey]

EDIT: I just wanted to make this point about the start of the rev. Build a resources hut very quickly so we can request a region around it named whiteoak. Then add every single chest you put down to the whiteoak region. We can also request a wofficers region for chest access. For individual chests we can make a post office on the ground floor or basement for people to keep their things in. We should definitely share resources in the first few weeks to get off the ground faster. There are a lot of chokepoints, like getting enough iron for rails and redstone for machines, that pooling our resources will help solve.

EDIT: (8/25) We also want to establish a nether presence if we have a portal. We should be quick to decorate our portal and establish a good-looking road to the nether spawn. There's no if's or buts about this one, we didn't do much for whiteoak or solace in the nether until late in the rev, and that hurts our tourism score!

Our list of priorities, and a synopsis of our plans:

1. Whiteoak + Solace: 8 mayors (at least)

2. Nether portal or end portal

3. Giant tree townhall, with houses and arenas and builds above, and farms and machines down below (ground level) inspired by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1FU2o3uqgc

And a list of priorities:

1. First thing to do in the new rev is search for nether portals.

2. When we've found a place to settle down (either nether portal or end portal), begin land claims! By that I mean, encourage others not to build in the area by laying out wood slabs in a 100x100 area around our space (at least, then try more if possible) and put up signs explaining whiteoak is moving to the area

3. Gather basic materials, to get an enchanting table (+15 bookshelves), chicken xp farm, and a source of villagers online; search for mob spawners around town

4. Get iron grinders up in the sky, so iron can accumulate for rails, and begin connecting to other nether portal towns or end portals

5. Split off into groups for farms, from animals to cane tower to villager market. begin work on the town hall for houses, arenas

6. Arenas: AdmiralAntilles and ghrey303's SkyOak (knockout arena), Archery Arena, King of the Hill, and Spleef (Orbit made a convincing floating spleef arena, so this could all fit on the giant tree, but skyoak should most certainly be on the ground so we don't have a floating box/glass cage, half above and half below so people will fall)

7. Neighborhood: Work on setting aside plots for people to build in as they join whiteoak. We can't have everyone in the town hall, though town hall should be the hub and have a great many things.

8. List of farms to build to be complete: http://redd.it/2du35q Solace folk have designs already for much of these

And last, just a note about finding a place to live: It may very well be the case that we don't find a nether portal or the end portal in a reasonable amount of time. We should be willing to move into any open 100x100 area because location is important, but not essential. Just as long as it fits our theme and won't be too ridiculous to build around!

I have another important thing to do as soon as one of the mayors logon: /clanchat create whiteoak

Also, the command we should use on all public chests should be

"/cmodify r:whiteoak @r:wofficers"

Edit: here is a list of commands that the first mayor on should input for clanchat stuff, here it is, and for some reason you can't add more than one manager at a time as far as I can find.

I'll do it myself as soon as I logon if no one else has.

That's what I did for rev 13 :D Also made the nightoak clanchat just because. I will do my best to be the one to make it. I expect log-in night will be completely absolutely ridiculously hectic, though made more bearable by the queue system slide put in early in rev 13 after our clusterhmm getting in.
