[OOC]Calling all Orcish Builders!

[VonAulus 2082]

Morfab, I am quite impressed by your building.

-Snip-

Oh boy, you guys just got yourself an excellent builder.

Morfab, I am quite impressed by your building.

Oh boy, you guys just got yourself an excellent builder.

I appreciate the kind words. I hope they don't stray too far from the orc designs but they were my first proper orc-esque attempts.

[ΚΨΙΞ 710]

The builds are great but some of the blargs (huts) are too small. We need to remember that we need blargs that will allow Orcs to RP inside and store their stuff, not just store their items. I love your unique style but perhaps you could add some builds of walls of wood or sandstone instead of cobblestone. We have to remember Orcs are surrounded by sand not stone :P

[nobody 146]

Alright. That was simply a 'small' blargh, but fear not I will bring you a larger, more RP worthy blarg with pictures later on, if not tomorrow. As for the sandstone, personally I don't believe sandstone is suitable hence why I strayed away from it due to the simple fact that orcs are 'very strong' and I just think that sandstone seems too weak and brittle and too prone to having large structures falling down. But as a decorative material I suppose I could try implementing it a little more into my designs. I prefer to stray away from making my builds looking like sand castles, or light, cheerful beach builds, and that is meant with no offence to anyone.

[ΚΨΙΞ 710]

What myself and Ned were discussing about is the fact that we all seem to build our stuff in the creation of it being pretty. We should go with whats RP and the Orcs are surrounded in sand not stone so it would make sense for us to use our natural resource, sand. You could also use wood (jungle wood preferably since we live next to a jungle).

[nobody 146]

I suppose that is a fair point. Would it not be possible to have mines of sorts? Not deep Dwarven mines but more thin layers of stone mined. Also I had an idea which I would like to discuss. 'Changing' the Orcs biome from a desert..this would have to be discussed privately though, and I would happily share my ideas accepted or not.

[ΚΨΙΞ 710]

Well the Orcs have evolved to live with the strong heat and harsh conditions of the desert it would take us out of our comfort zone if we changed however we have already built the City in a desert.

[nobody 146]

See what I was thinking was an even harsher environment, a sort of Savannah involving clever usage of Netherrack, dirt and sand.

EDIT: I mean the Dwarves have gone bigger and better. Why can't we? ;)

[ΚΨΙΞ 710]

The landscape of the new Orc City is amazing you will be absolutely shocked, I can guarantee that. Its not like what everyone will think we will build just you wait :P

[nobody 146]

Alrighty! Just for the record if one is accepted into this Build Team does it mean we get access to said world?

EDIT: I have to say I like the new avatar

[ΚΨΙΞ 710]

If we are accepted onto the build team yes we get access to the build server however we can not leak and those who leak will get punished (from what ive been told).

Also thanks :P

[nobody 146]

So just to know, what exactly is this application for?

[ΚΨΙΞ 710]

This application is to be accepted onto the Orcish build team. We don't work on one server or one world. Every build team is in the same server, most who travel out of their build zone (example: a dwarf builder wandering to the orcish city) are usually told to leave and some people can get quite annoyed if you wander.

[nobody 146]

Alright, so Thore is the leader of the Orcish build team? Or is it more of a communal decision who gets accepted into the team or not?
