Ziggurat - OPEN to Applicants

[Interbane]

What I mean is, there are very few parameters on what's possible to build.  You can build anything you can dream of, from fantastical dystopian sci-fi landscapes to scenes from Lord of the Rings, upside down fortresses, MC Escher style buildings, etc. 

But for some reason, people's creative horizon extends no further than re-creating the real world.  Even when the sky is the limit(figuratively), you find towns that look Podunk USA.  Why build the eiffel tower when you can build a fantastical wizard's tower? 

Another quirk of minecraft that I find annoying is that people build walls around the cities, just like in real life.  What are you protecting against?  An unexpected zombie apocalypse?  There are benefits, I understand, but no wall will keep out a determined griefer unless it has city protection, in which case the point is moot.

I love "aesthetic" walls, built to look good in an artful fashion.  But throwing up a wall of cobblestone is a form of grief in my book.  It's ugly, anyone can do it, and it almost always results in more real estate being consumed than is necessary.  Which is bad in a game where sustainable access to undeveloped real estate is required for a healthy server.

Ah ok I understand what you mean

[Interbane]

Techdude, you're accepted.  I'll check out your work when I'm online tonight.  I'm sure there's a large plot that will suit your fancy.

[FNVcourierjon(SigilStone)]

Ok I've decided that I want a medium plot.

I've been on opticraft SMP server since january 2012.

My best builds are tied between radlam's house and wratikie's house. I'll MSG u the /homes on the forum. U should check um out when I'm on so I can give u a tour :p

I don't really want a plot. I perfer to build for others rather than myself. If anyone in ur town would like a house made for them send them to me
