Why you should become a moderator: Moderating is a form of entertainment.  There isn't much left for me to build that is novel and inspiring.  Therefore I should moderate. 

I'm a moderator on other sites and games.  If you google my nomiker I'm sure you'll see where. 

The main structure is finished, all that is needed is the detail work and polish.   Before I provide screenshots, I’m opening up applications to people who are familiar with the project.  I will close applications on a whim.

Current Amenities:
NPC Village
5 community crafting hubs
Multiple full enchantment tables
Sheep of all colors
Pig, Cow, and Chicken farms
Sugar cane farm
Automatic Wheat farm
Manual giant mushroom farm
Manual zombie fight zone
Triple spider spawner(under construction)


Future Amenities:
Automatic melon/pumpkin/cocoa/cactus/vine farms
Brewing stations
Tree grove of each tree type
Slime farm(the chunk is marked, but unbuilt)
Mob grinder(non-spawner, darkness spawned)
Octopus grinder

Current Entertainment:
Safe falls to each crescent
Zombie pit fight area.
Hidden paths everywhere
Automatic arrow volley chicken coop
Integrated maze in top level
Hidden chests with good loot, dozens of them everywhere

Future entertainment:
Integrated roller coasters
Water slides
Fantastical spleef arena



MEMBERS:  I’ve defined specific build areas for members.  I will place additional signs and rope off the plots so they are easier to distinguish.  The build areas are around the perimeter of the inside, on ground level, as well as around the exterior in certain locations.  If your builds are good, I’ll promote you to VIP
Member Roster:


VIPs:  There are a few VIP’s already.  The list is below.  To acquire VIP status, show me something you’ve built.  If it’s good, I’ll give you the rank.  VIP members may build anywhere that isn’t already taken.  VIP members may also use the random housing I’ve built.

WORK. There are areas that are community projects. 

Catacombs - The first is the catacomb excavation.  Basically, the entire bedrock region is prepped to be excavated.  As it’s cleared, columns will be built, and a glass/lava floor will be laid.  This will extend out in all directions until it covers the entire region. 

Underwater area – There is slave labor that’s needed to clear water.  I will define the perimeter of various rooms, leaving it ready for clearing. 

Polish – The stone vertical walls around the depressed crescents have splotches of gravel/dirt/and cobblestone.  All this needs replaced with smooth stone.  The method is to scaffold upward with a dirt/cobble pillar and fix the wall, then destroy the scaffolding back down.

Navigation: Use “/home interbane go” to port to the top chamber.  Once there, read the signs.  They contain all necessary information to navigate the ziggurat.

Project name:  Necro Ziggurat

Project location:   X:-550   Y:entire range   Z:2597    /home Interbane go

Contributors: Interbane(builder/miner), Sircy(builder/miner), MikeWeirauch(builder/miner), Pew1998(miner), Bantam2(42 sandstone), Scotty602AB(slavedriver), DeweyMeister(23 stacks nether brick),

Mayor: Interbane

Approximate dimensions: 250x250

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings: The entire thing is a building, but it is unfinished.  Inside of the Ziggurat, there will be 5 fractal crescents at 5 different points on the y axis, each with a farm/house/theme.

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any: The compass point terraces are partially complete, and I plan to build the inside at the same time as the outside, in cycles.  Natural light for building the interior is the motive to finish the quarter circle perimeter last.  Otherwise I'd need to constantly place torches while building.  

The home setpoint is at the top middle of the build, with a safe fall nearby, direcly underneath Sircy's massive skull build.  The safe fall goes to either sea level or bedrock, depending.  Each crescent will have a landing pad for a safe fall from above.  

The bottom will be inlaid redstone lamps in the shape of the nuke hazard sign, and accessible from each crescent by dropping down from above, toward the inner pentagram.  The hazard sign layer will be at Y axis 20, which also serves as the roof of the catacombs.  The catacombs are pillars supporting a roof of stone slabs, serving as the foundation.  It is the "vault" area of the build, accessible via safefall.  


Why should we grant this project protection?
-It will be fantastic when finished, but a single block of grief could cause deaths while building.  

-It will be incredibly detailed - I'm building it as a work of art.  The art of other players is also present already, such as Sircy.  

-There are many transcription "blocks" used as center points for the circles of the crescents that are tedious to place and audit for accuracy.  

-It would prevent future disputes due to anyone building within the area.  


I also plan to host a design competition for parts of the exterior.  I will frame a "slab" of the ziggurat in each quadrant, which will look like a massive cube of nether brick extruding from the wall.  The NWSE compass point sides will be blank canvasses for a design competition, using specified building materials(Sandstone/NetherBrick+Fence+Steps/Glowstone/Glass).  The winner will earn ownership of a crescent, and can rent it out as he/she wishes, or live in it.  

UPDATE:  I've defined an area that's ready to be excavated.  All cobble goes to Cora's Wonderland/Falador(I have enough stockpiled for the ziggurat).  

The crescents are ready to be transcribed upwards and downwards.

The skull on top is almost finished.  Perhaps it already is, I've barely taken a look at it, I'm staying out of Sircy's way.


I still need Nether brick and Sandstone.  I'm down to a double chest of each.  

I'm new to the server and was interested in what the locals consider the best sights to see.  Are the cities/towns the only areas that have artistic creations worth checking out?  Are there monuments out in the wilderness?  I searched through the "creations" page, but some of the posts are old, and warping there doesn't seem to work.

Let's make a list of the top 10 places to visit on the Opticraft server.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

9.


There's implicit competition in this list, which may lead to votes.  I'm not sure if there are rules against that on this server.
