[OOC] City Planning

[Samson Option 9652]

If you all go with the Arabesque ruin, I can write lore of the ancient foundation being Zil'Maktumi and possibly discuss with you all the transition. We share by lore common ancestry, so it can be as simple as gifting it to the People of Krug.

[Ned Lud 1260]

I'm down with a Zil'Maktumi foundation and I say we take advantage of Gaius' writing abilities while we have him here. I think we ought to focus on a primarily sand and sandstone style for the most part, getting back to our Sanhar roots. Not so much of the stone, logs and colored wool that we've been doing since the rebuilding of Sanjezal and now Asulon. I think we could accent our sandstone buildings with some log supports and stone here and there, but it should be primarily sandstone. If we do use wool for tents and structures, I think it should stay fairly drab in color, like white, light and dark gray, black and brown. Too much of that colored wool and it starts looking fruity. (Says the guy who had a purple roof in the Strigzgoi.)

Yes, this might be sort've boring and ugly to some, but we're orcs from Krugmar. We're not orcs from Warhammer or World of Warcraft. The Golden Age of the orcs began in a desert, our capital was a disgusting mess, carved out of an elven ruin and our cities were made of sandstone. They were ugly and boring, but people didn't come to the War Nation to gaze upon the beauties of the barbarians, they came to fight and die with us.

Let's get back to basics and stick to our lore and traditions and try not to be distracted by eye-candy that we find on Google. Some ideas and inspiration are good, but let's remember where we came from.

This. All of this. I mean I'm okay with using SOME colored wool, but only clan colors. That's it.

Go for it Gaius

Unfortunately, this plan would seem to 'contradict' what Rittsy said that each nation must do. He said that Orcs HAVE to build the city in a roleplay fashion, this seeming ignorance to the fact that it actually will occur even though there will be arabesque elements led Rittsy to argue greatly with one of your builders 'Cirdanoth'.

Well the orcs have always been different from every other race. We will move in and squat on these ruins,then rp doing the repairs and spreading the city outward. Lets just have a good plan for these ruins so that the repairing makes them good for us,I guess.

Alternatively we could try and talk with whomever we need to and tell people that the way orcs operate is generally different from other races,and hope they help us by accommodating a little.

He made it sound like the Orcs aren't allowed to build a city for themselves because no one will be around to build it >_>. I thought the plan was for the Orcs to build their own city, but after reading Ned's post I was unaware that the plan had changed. Yes, Orcs can move in on a pre-built structure like they want, no, I didn't know that is what the plan was. This is why I asked you on the server what you meant when you said there should be a post about my statement, Gaius, because I didn't know what you were talking about. :/

Rittsy, I was trying to explain the new plan as well as even that new builder, so no I am not 'changing' information, but found you to be rather rude and stubborn as we in particular knew the Orc Plans. Nonetheless, I am glad the Orcs can go with their plan though.

Hmm, you misquoted him, he said one of those Korean MMORPGs. ;)

When will people be accepted to help build? I have had an application posted for 2+ days. I can offer a lot of help.

hopefully soon, just finished mine,here

[Austin 697]

when we start actually building we will see

[Lexperiments 18]

So, when WILL we start building? I've heard that 3.0 is only a month and a half away. When'll we get this started? People have told me the Humans are already done...

Orcs had already begun building, but a recent complication with the build server caused a massive rollback that dealt the heaviest blow to the orcs. Orcs were completely re-terraforming their land when the rollback undid about three entire days of work, and I'm guessing the motivation has since declined, as I haven't seen any orcs back on the build server. That, or no one has been re-whitelisted, in which case you should send me a PM and I'll get you back on the build server ASAP.

As for the humans being done, that is completely false. The Humans are nowhere near completion, or any other race for that matter. The landscaping has been done for quite some time, although changes take place here and there, so all we are working on right now is building the actual settlements and structures. The Orcs are the exception, as I mentioned with the terraforming and the rollback.
