Ooc: Planning Ahead For 4.0

[TEEbrown 348]

Halflings are the friendly jovial folk who operate the welcome village near spawn/could temple. We greet new players, provide shelter, along with fun and safe roleplay. Would definitely become an RP hub because of its proximity, would be easy on new players, wouldn't really detract from major nation RP, would not detract from combat RP. I think it's a perfect solution. You're welcome.

Heres my take on it.:

Purple: Witch Woods

Yellow: Burrows

Magenta: Wheat Fields

Orange: Pumpkin Wall / Statue

Brown: Windmill and food storage.

Red: Town Center, Inn and other stuff.

Dark Blue: Tents and such.

Black: Some sort of an Antag.

I was thinking with the housing, we could have paths and roads cut into the cliffs and build like that. Plenty of room for everybody.

On the note for the antag, mabey we could have it either be a spiderling (search it in the lore section) or some type of a mountain troll.

Lastly the orange dot in the middle of town should either be a massive mabey 10 x 10 pumpkin, or some type of a statue or petrified Ent.

Pushing RP needs closer to the road will help you out a decent bit, move them fat farms behind. Here is my take on it:

Red: Inn/Tavern/Pub

Magenta: Fairgrounds/Marketplace

Brown: Burrows

Light Green: Piers for boats and fishing

Cyan: Monument (Giant Golden Shovel?)

Black: Cave Entrance for spookies

Yellow: Crops

Dark Green: Mean Nasty Forest

 

Or Snowshovel's idea. That one is good.

Glad people like my idea. In terms of maps I think this one would be the best suited. It's an even spread and has the tavern right next to the road so it's the first thing people see when they walk past. Also the marketplace makes it easy for you to get goods after you die, which may be a reason you're walking from spawn in the first place. The benefits of the open spaces of field in this map are that we can use them for necessary things that develop over time instead of pulling an Anthos and building the whole place before people arrive.

Updated the OP.

Besides mapping out the Vales I have something else to talk about:

O' the grea' fes'ivals.

I notice that our festivals seem kinda, impromptu. I think we should put togethor a group of halflings, maybe 3, called "The Festival Committee" . Here we can set IRL dates for yearly or monthly festivals. If we have more frequent, planned, festivals we can attract more and more players to the new Vale.

Leave feedback ya munchkins

We should issue a Hobbit calendar pdf file with the holidays that you can pin up on your wall.

Dont forget we can have a greeting center/gatehouse towards the from of the path. This lets us hand out bread, cake, ale or other foods as gifts for coming to lenfarthing. And if this does get implemented place a burrow next to it for fredegar as he could become the gatekeeper

Here's my idea for a festival system;

We make one Halfling year, be four Elven months.

This allows for regular harvest festivals, and for holidays that don't come around every year, such as Knoxmass.

[Benny_Fool 80]

Six irl months, so it makes it easier to track.

    So, since we're brainstorming about other things besides the map... what's the opinion on 4.0 burrows? We usually slightly change styles when we change maps so, here are some of my ideas. I'll just say, I'm not a very good builder Inb4 Dalek insults my ideas. 

 

 

 

     Instead of having the normal shire style where most of the exposed outside of the burrow is just dirt, my idea is that we have more prominent wood details on the outside with a grass roof. The grass and dirt would still come all the way to ground level every once and a while but there would be a lot more wood on the outside than there is in Anthos. Another idea would be to incorporate some colored clay on the outside to break up the monotony of just having wood and grass. It would probably used as more of a focus block for the burrow. Here's another concept image. 

 

 

   So, what ideas do you guys have? As I said before I'm a pretty bad builder so hopefully some others can run with these ideas and make some unique burrows for the 4.0 map!

Great Idea, Aris. I love it!

[Benny_Fool 80]

 

In all seriousness, it is a great idea. 

 

Does anyone have ideas for the names of the next village?
