a universal city

[lakeel 1]

hello fans and GMs of lord of the craft. i come to this forum page to present a grand idea which has recieved much support on smaller posts so now i wish to present it to the higher-ups in this great world. maybe even the wandering wizard himself.

my idea is that i "lakeel" gather a group of pioneers from each race and travel into a distant land to found a city where all races are welcome, to build a safe haven from war, and construct a city of peace. all races will be welcome in this city and no war shall be welcome in these walls. all the races of "lord of the craft" can contribute to this great cause and not fear being slaughtered or mugged by another race. here you will find freedom from oppressors and dictatorship. i have been designing this grand city for days on end (a grand total of 9) creating city layouts and devising many fair systems of government.

goverment= the govermental system i've created is both simple and fair. there are a grand total 4 representatives and one king. there is a representative for each race who shall voice there peoples opinions and ideas and the king shall listen. when a law of bill of some major importance comes there way the group shall vote on said bill. the representatives vote counts as 1 and the kings vote counts as 2. if there is a law that only involves a certain race than there representative shall decide so not to stress the kings council with minor delimas. when it comes to crime the criminal and defendant sall be brought before a representative and they shall decide who's innocent or guilty. in the case of a major crime the criminal shall be brought before the king in the throne room and he shall decide there fate (usually public humiliation or jail time. and worst case scenario banishment or burned to death) if the people decide that there not happy with there representative or the kings rule then there can elect a new one from there fellow peers. this way tyranny will be prevented. in the kings absence the citys embasitor can temporarily take his place till her returns

here's a pic of possable throneroom design i made : http://lakeel.deviantart.com/#/d4b0qs0

city layout: this first version of the city lay out is that the city shall be devided into 4 quarters divided by thick roads with the castle in the middle and each quarted assigned to a specific race (orcs, humans, elves, and dwarves) so that lores don't become to mixed and make the city ugly. this dosen't mean that other races arn't allowed in other city quarters it just means there only allowed to have the kind of lore there.

city layout version 2: the second version is quite similar but each quarter shall serve a purpose to the city. 1 quarter goes to farming and agriculture. another quarter go to industry. and 2 quarters go to homes and shops.

building lore: due to the face that this is a city that allows all races this means that all building styles are allowed but human building lore is slightly encouraged and allowed to be used by all races in this city. with the 1.8 and 1.9 updates there needs to be some restrictions on what blocks can be used for what things.

1. no brick roofs (there ugly)

2. building are not allowed to go past 3 stories

3. brick blocks are only for fireplaces/fire pits

4. building must not collide with one another (this would open for thievery)

5. building must not clash with the surrounding homes

6. building must fit the quarters description (home/shop , farm, or industrial)

7. basements must be approved by a representative or the chief archatect

8. building must make sence and not look like random crap

9. no small crude buildings (exception: if you are poor and cant get materials to make your home right yu will have 1 earth week to build it up to lore standards)

10. NO DEMOLISHING OTHER HOMES FOR ROOM TO EXPAND!!! (will result in immediate banishment)

history: sence this city has yet to be founded the history is a little short but this is what ive got so far. one day long ago "First King Lakeel" (thats me :D ) became inspired and gathered people of many races to meat at the temple of life. there he gave a speech about founding a kingdom where war didn't exist and peace prospered. he promised them riches and lands ripe for the taking in a far off land. he promised them that there voices would be heard by all and that there pleas shall be granted. the poor shall no longer starve and the weak would no longer haft to fear death. he concluded his speech by asking any who wished to come along and found this city to gather food,tools, and any resorces that they'd wish to bring. from there lakeel and his many pioneers treked into the far wilderness towards there promised land. traveling for days on end will they came across there paradise. the people set down there loads and cheered and celebrated. soon king lakeel sent his people to work gathering resorces while he started construction on the castle that will be the centerpiece of this kingdom. the elves went to gather wood, the dwarves sent into caves to mine, the orcs sent to hunt for food and slay monsters. and the humans began construction on the town walls. though there future may be bleak the people hope that they shall become a beacon of peace to the rest of the world.

laws: sence Emrulden wishes to let its people to be free there a fewer laws then youd might expect

1. building lore laws must be followed (mid level offence. building will be demolished)

Minor laws. (punishment is public humiliation or short jail time)

2. no stealing (minor offence. public humiliation of sort jail time)

3. no racist slurs

4. no loitering (aka yelling)

5. no public sexual display

6. no trespassing

MAJOR LAWS (punishment: long jail time, banishment, or execution)

7.no griefing

8. no murdering.

9. no mugging

10. no setting fire to people houses

11.no breaking and entering.

12.No importation of tnt

castle design: this will mainly consist of a stone/wood structure being built onto of a hill and/or mountin with the rest of the city surrounding it. here's and example of what i mean. (this was built by me by hand) http://lakeel.deviantart.com/#/d4b0qcn

many people on the forums including me think this is a brilliant idea. but i can not happen till an admin or the great wandering wizard says it can happen. also this city needs money in order to be founded and a city needs its first king but unfortunately my application hasn't been accepted yet and i cant make this historical event happen unless a GM or admin approves my application. No im not begging for them to approve my application and this whole thing wasn't just a long attempt to get someone to look at my application. I just want to build a city. Which I think would be awsome and would make the world all the more better

heres a link to my application just incase a GM wants to look at it: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/16554-lakeels-second-application/#entry71528

Greetings, I feel the only chance that a new nation will be allowed for the new map is if it becomes established and over time shows to be a very busy place that seeks out rp. There has only been one offshoot of a kingdom in the 2.5 months i've been on the server...which was Alras. Alras was previously Dwarven but had a couple dozen residents and a good economy it became a city like how you describe. I will say that GM's and players alike are going to be very very busy in the coming months setting up the new map. I don't think even the notion of a new kingdom will be allowed until awhile after the main kingdoms are established. Lakeel I say to you if it is your dream to become King there are 2 ways i feel would be best to accomplish this and doing both would be even better. First i recommend becomming a Lord. Even better Donate 100 so you get diamond VIP. With this you can build your little town and become aquainted with regioning people. If this is successful it will gain you Notoriety as a good Noble. Secondly you must RP your role as a Lord well and gain the peoples support. With the peoples support, Experience regioning and running a town, and determination you could possibly become King one day. There are far more humans on the server than any other race i feel like there will be many new developments on the new map hopefully even 2 human kingdoms. If you Don't, however start out as a Lord or RP yourself into becomming a prince...you won't have the Noble upbringing to become king. Good Luck sorry this is so long winded:p

you also should speak with Prince Enor, new prince of oren. He started off as an orc...became a trusted builder and turned elf(lol i say that like its with contempt:p) Aelwyn as he was known then did many great building projects and became trusted by the high prince of elves...He now is a price in line to become king for the humans. He was never a lord but through his building skills learned much about running a town.

Sorry this a bit off topic but how do you become a lord? Is it through donating?

ok i can understand that.... but how do i become a lord? and hat do yu mean by donating 100?

[moondoggy 27]

Yes to "just become" a lord and elven prince or the dwarven and orc equivalent you must be a 100 donator. You can however not be a donator and gain titles through good rp.

I love how all the new players suggest ideas and have themselves play the biggest role in them :)

Well, what else would they do? :P

On subject now. On the new map, the plan is to have nore racial tensions, so the peaceful city deal wouldn't make much sense. I'd actually love a town that initially has this goal but ends up as a "prize" of a war. It would be valuable in some way, so there would frequently be contests of power over who's town it is, sort of like a battleground.

I wanna be King of Aegis....

I actually think its a great idea to have neutral TOWNS. That larger nations can raze, pillage, and tax. wonderful source of fun and money.

i actually like that idea somewhat. whoever conqueres that city and kills the current ruler gets controle of the city. then they haft to secure therer position over the city by repairing the damaged fortifications and protecting whats left of the town

[Petyr 485]

Indeed, the town would be in some way valuable, either locatIon-wise or resource-wise.

i was thinking it could be founded on a oak forest biome beach. or be built arounf a mountin and put the castle on/in the mountin.

if you chose the beach one the town would be valueable as a trade route and for its abundance in fishing and lumber

if you chose the mountin one it would be valued for its tatical advantages and the high number of stone based resorces.

important question though. if this town is gonna be a constant war zone will people still be able to live in the town and build houses and live there RP lives or will they not be able to do that?

Yes to "just become" a lord and elven prince or the dwarven and orc equivalent you must be a 100 donator. You can however not be a donator and gain titles through good rp.

umm....how do i become a 100 donator?

[Petyr 485]

umm....how do i become a 100 donator?

[lakeel 1]
