((Here is a screenshot of what I thought the castle entrance would look like. It's unfinished in the picture but each tower is 25 blocks high, the walls are 10 blocks high and there are 8 stories inside the towers. each tower is 7x7 and the walls are 3 thick with lava in the middle :3. There are murder holes in the ramparts (i forgot to include them in the walls in the pic but they are there in reality). Are these too big or what? If you have any negative feedback, i won't take offense, after all, it is your castle.)) P.S. ((if you want the roofy thing in the middle to be stone its perfectly fine, it just depends on what the roofs elsewhere are made from.

((As i said before, I am a pretty impressive medieval themed builder and would be more than happy to help you build. Too many times have i gazed upon the cube that is our keep at the moment, not to mention the wall and literally soiled my trousers (im exaggerating by the way). After looking at lastguyplaying's picture I seriously don't want us to have puny little ramparts that a 5 year old would draw, rather massive things that come towards you, armed with murder holes and windows that are easier to shoot out of than shoot into. The wall also wouldn't be flat but rather adorned with decorations to make the castle look all the more imposing. If we are going to make a good castle, it has to look menacing and like we have put time into it, not a flat wall going ridiculously high with 5 year old ramparts at the top. I am going to start on a section of the wall now and I will post a screenshot, to show you what I mean.)) P.S. Please don't rush the castle, take your time and consult us who will actually be inhabiting the castle. P.P.S I wouldn't put farms inside the castle walls, it would just be a waste of wall and look unauthentic

((I mean no offense with what I am about to say, I think it would probably be better if we have a little build contest of a section of wall plus a building of your choice limited to a 15x15 area. I realise that this is supposed to be a sketch but that gate is pretty *expletive*ing large, plus the walls are a little too basic for my liking. Is this what the walls will actually look like and is the gate realy going to look that massive and out of place (gatehouse anywhere?). Again, i mean no offense but i don't really understand what you are trying to show here.))

((sounds really good, just like I thought it would be like when you mentioned it earlier. Please bear in mind that although I am essentially completely an archer, I joined this server after the skills were disabled, so don't judge me lol. Will I need to grind up my archery before I can gain knighthood then? Also, when you come up with the names for the titles, please remember that we aren't all swordsmen so don't call the rank up from initiate "swordsman" or something like that as it won't really work. On another note, will there be a builder job because I make pretty bad ass medieval styled buildings. On another other note, when designing the new castle (if you actually are going to design it and not vomit stone on the floor into a castle shaped heap) i would urge you to take defensive measures into consideration, our previous fort was nowhere near as prtected as it should be, nor even the keep in the verge)) ((Suggested defensive capabilities for the castle (only suggestions): burning oil (lava with pistons) Thicker walls More protective and advantagous ramparts Concentric walls rising in height as you near the keep A moat Defensive turrets (activated by a lever to rise out of the ground and launch damage potions if corresponding pressure plates are stepped on, not medieval themed though so...) Emergency barricades (block of areas of the city if breached, pistons) If you find any of these to be impractical, I won't take offense, though please consider the addition of defenses for times when arrows aren't enough)) ((P.S. underground pig farms are amazing :) ))

I would advise improving the grammar etc just to make sure that when he does look at the thread he accepts you rather than postponing it a few days. Only trying to be helpful (it makes you seem like a lot better candidate if you take the time to spell correctly)

I haven't been on lately due to skyrim, battlefield and waiting for the update, though I usually go on around 8-9:30ish

((please make a castle that is actually the size of a castle, plus up really far in the north so that we can actually farm etc... Also, could you seriously consider making me a knight due to the fact that there is a group of us who are GMT yet all the knights aren't GMT, meaning that you end up with 5 recruits online sitting around chatting in the keep doing jack all becasue there are no knights. Possibly make the GMTers more oriented to archery (bearing in mind i am primarily an archer) so that in battles we can work together a lot more easily. (by the way, I am talking about before skyrim etc when the knights were actually active) The order shouldn't be run on the principle that if you are GMT you are automatically doomed to an eternity of being a recruit, it isn't really that fair to be honest))

((im not so sure that you being a "dark knight" and being willing to sacrifice your friends, while having no soul link too well with you being a knight of the north, just saying"

((can i be chief archer as nobody else seems to be a full archer like me...))

I guess i'll be the archer then?

i disagree, wouldnt it be better to build on top of an abandoned mineshaft, it would mean we would get tons of ores.

build it in the 4000ish coordinates

I think he means in the verge, i found a castle there with a few undead/worshippers in it

wtf you do realise that all of us are playing skyrim and half of us are in a completely fifferent timezone to you....

could you repeat what you said but so that i can actually understand what you are talking about, you make no sense....

same :3

I am at the verge, please, just send us the directions from there. ((i really dont want to stay up until 5 in the morning just to wait for you to come on))

i am gmt

follow the north road out of the temple. If you reach the watermelon store you are heading in the right direction. You should see some signposts indicating the way to the keep along the road a bit further along from said stall. There should be a covered tunnel leading there. ((I don't know if you are in a different timezone because everyone here seems to be GMT)) ((The server will be being reset soon anyway so there isn't much point in finding us at the present, to give you my honest opinion))

Are any knights looking for squires? If so please say as there is a backlog in the ranks.

It might take a while for my inspiration to shine, so it will definately be done by the weekend

I am ok at creating skins and will have a stab at it if you want?

Due to the large numbers of Recruits, and the tiny amount of knights, I was wondering whether you could make a seperate branch of the promotion thing, except for acrhers. I don't think you can train archers in the same way as knights, so it would take an archer to be in charge of what archers do. You can't have a guild made purely of archers. Bob Darastrix (PS when the world gets reset, make sure to build the castle really far away so that we can get farmland and ares that we can harvest friendly mobs for items such as feathers that are currently incredibly rare, it would also give us a lot more space to expand, at a fraction of the price.

I am a pretty darn awesome medieval building builder, so if you need any help i'll be there. I also have a knack with redstone wiring if you need any traps or entry things. I'll have a go at the book writing with my skill at sign writing (sarcasm)

can i go to the northern one?
