event contest and a town

[Starrs]

Have a monument contest.

People show creativity in buildings.

Such as a Train, Mc Donalds, Golden Gate, and so on.

Also....

What about a permanent town? People could pay to have a shop inside the town.

Have a casino, dance hall and so on.

There's not much to stop you building a town (I have for the past 2 wipes on AU Pure), except the collosal amount of time needed to farm the resources (plus the "inspiration" required to design and arrange the buildings and their layout).

Pop up to J8 on AU Pure if you want to have a look at what is possible to do solo (before upcoming wipe)...I've posted a few pictures elsewhere in the forum, but they don't really do the town justice. I will also note that I did have a couple of donations of resources along the way, which covered for the "This is too much work" times when I needed to give the game a break

Alternatively, arrange with others in chat to work together and build a town at a set spot on the map, each player taking a "role" or indicating what part\component of the town they wish to build.

I'm not sure yet whether I will do a third town this coming wipe...It will depend on the map seed (and me getting up early Friday morning to be able to claim the space needed following wipe), but if I do, feel free to pop in to visit.

Or worst case, if I can get the resources, I'm happy to pop in to another server to build some structures in the "town" area.
