Well sheesh, I started building a place to broadcast my radio show from and now I can't stop! Looks like I've got a little village started and only God knows how big it's gonna get.
Each "plot" has it's own PS protection, which is how I've been determining the size of the "islands" and they're interlinked with small bridged paths. Don't know if it will eventually turn into some kind of city, but I am starting my first "administration building". Please don't ask to be a resident, at this time I'm not accepting any (and if I ever do it'll be only Trusted+ members).
Don't have any pictures yet, since I haven't thought to take any, but I'll post some eventually. Until then you can watch the progress on the live map;

To see it in person (right now) you can use "/home viperzeroone" ... Be advised, when I'm online I do sometimes shift my /home around to make it easier to go from place to place. If you end up somewhere weird it's your own fault. :P Oh, and any griefing, if you happen to find a non-PS spot, is a perm-ban since there are signs at the /home that say just that.

Club Dark, where there's always a vacancy. Our graveyards are empty by night and full by day, our walls and floors look like Swiss cheese, and the cobwebs are everywhere. Because at our club we always have a full house, and our residents are groaning and moaning, waiting to meet you with arms wide open. So please stop by our luxurious place of entertainment.
Warning: The act of entering the premises automatically signs a contract with our business and business associates . We are in no way responsible for personal safety, any loss of life is at the fault of the person. Symptoms include overshadowing fear, multiple spider bites, arrows to the knee, missing limbs, lost items, Zombie's Disease, and on rare occasions being swallowed by gelatinous cubes.
Club Dark, where sunlight never reaches!

Heh... So true, especially the arrow to the knees... Now I HAVE to make a cemetery on one of the islands and install some arrow-firing dispensers on the dance floor. :P
Did I mention when prospecting that I found 6 spider spawners (3 Tripple, 2 Single, 1 Double) under the club? *LMAO*

EDIT: Added a couple "current" images to the first post.

EDIT: Built a church with a graveyard, just for Midgetized... *LOL* ...Also built a Granary for the production of wheat products. Pictures added to first post.

Thinking of replicating the ship building crane I made on my little test server... Not sure if I wanna put something that big on my island tho. Here's a picture I took of it;

Then again, I could modify it and position it so it looks like a needle record player arm for the vinyl disk on the top of the club.

I would pay to live here.

Thanks Mini... ;D ...Not sure if I'm having residents yet or not. I'll keep ya in mind if I decide to open it up though.

Are your undead mobs not your citizen?

Hmmm... I guess they could be classified as citizens. In that case I have 8. *LOL*
I'm still pondering opening the island up to players. Not sure if I want to go down that road or not. All of the houses are pre-built and furnished so, aside from placing chests, there really wouldn't be much for a player to do. I can't really justify charging "rent" for technically a place to store your items. If that's the case I might as well just build a massive protected vault complex with 8-10 chests per vault and then rent out the vaults to players. Hmmmmm.... That might actually be a good idea.

Oh... In addition, when the new member+ world drops I MIGHT be selling the island complex. If I do sell it I'll be removing the "Club Dark" name from the central structure as that's a "trademarked" name of my club and will be placed on the new build.
In addition, if I do sell the island, It'll be up to the new owner to provide the PS protections for it, as I'll be taking all of mine for the new build. To cover the islands you'll need a minimum of 1 diamond PS, 6 Lapis PS, and 10 coal PS. I'll be keeping the underground structure, which is separate from the islands, that includes a small pumpkin farm and nether portal to my blaze spawner, but will make an underwater entrance so I don't have to continue going through the island itself to get to it.
About the new build... I'm not going to say much, other than it will be much better than the current one and will be placed on a pre-existing island instead of a man-made one. I've already got the main buildings on the "drawing board", so to speak, and construction will commence when the new world launches. It's going to be awesome.

You have a radio show?
-
Hah, I remember "partyin' it up," in Club Dark with Ian and Ironjack. :p
You have your own lighting system and stuff. :D
-
That looks pretty awesome

Haha, yea that was pretty fun. I left the poles and cage in place. ;D
That looks pretty awesome
Thanks! The new club (member+ world) is going to be even better. I've got it all designed and ready to build. Just need the member world to open up so I can scout out a good building location and get it started.

The Dark Islands are currently closed... Sorry for those who've tried to visit.
I'm in the process of decommissioning all of the structures on the island, except the former Club Dark. The main reason for this is due to gathering up the materials for the new Club Dark once the member+ world is open. Once my move is complete I'll be selling the island area to anyone who wants it, and makes me a decent offer. Due to the design of the islands it's the perfect setup for anyone who wants to start a small town.
What will be left behind for purchase;
- The islands with their Enderstone bottoms, grass surfaces, and leaf hedging.
- The main structure (former Club Dark), however the interior will be gutted.
- The wooden submarine, minus the redstone piston engine.
- The Granary (small enclosed wheat farm)
- The underwater structure (2 story complex inside the main island)
What will not be included in the sale;
- The underground structure (small pumpkin farm and nether portal)
- My blaze and netherwart farms (other side of the nether portal)
- The PS stones that currently protect the entire set of islands.
- The rail track that goes between the main island and the long outer island (tunnel will remain).
Bidding will probably start somewhere around 30-40K considering all the work I put into it, and the massive amount of endstone used in the structure, but I'll make a post in the auction area when it's ready to sell.
