I'm always good at generic medieval, and I've done work for towns before.  If I'm around when the work threads get posted, I'll do what I can.

Very cool, excited to have you on the team, as they say.

A little heads up to polish up your shovels, pickaxes, and get rid of the splinters on the workbench. It's time to stretch those muscles and get ready to spend a day, a weekend, a week or two building in town x.

We understand you might be worse than others, we understand you might be better than others. That's all awesome. It creates variety. But please do apply (when the threads get posted) to the things you think you can actually make.

Of course! This isn't a charity event. But if you want to help out at no cost: Yay, you're welcome. But I understand that time is money and that you will make the builds on behalf of town x. They become our property so to speak. After the build is finished we're free to customize it, take it down, rebuild it, sell the plots to players who want to live there. So it seems logical to compensate you for your troubles. And so we will.

You will get some money to help you repair your items and cover the cost of some of your resources that you yourself will supply. And you will get some money for simply taking the time to build on the plots. But, since we're paying, I think it's fair to say it should be more than a dirt hut or a square house with a roof made out of 16 logs of wood.. you know what I mean.

What the plan is.. I will set up some embassy plots at certain locations and create a thread on the forums asking for builders. If you think you are interested then you can reply and if you (and one or more friends) want to build there in March, you get picked, paid, and given the freedom to have fun making something cool.

Anyway, that's the general idea, and with this headsup it also gives you the opportunity to ask questions etc.

Buildings range from natural-looking houses, medieval, japanese, hobbit holes, to little farm spots, maybe a completely designed fishing spot. What it very likely won't be are quartz modern builds, obsidian towers, square boxes, or stuff that stands out way way too much. That said though, if you have something in mind you can show visually I can always say 'nah, sorry, not that.. ' or 'omg yes pls!'

Yeah yeah, blah blah floris.. but tell me what can I earn!
Small single plots can start at 25,000, to bigger 6 or 8 plots with multiple levels of 250,000. It differs per thread.

Can I build for 'chunk of the month'? If the Larry has a competition running and the theme matches what I am asking for, I don't see why not. I guess.

What if I like what I made and want to keep it? You're always free to join town x and become a resident and get the plots in question for free. But what if it's an embassy plot? Can't we just do that? Well, .. you're making something on behalf of our town, so in that case you're just building for yourself: not sure why I'd pay for that. Maybe wait then until after March and we can pick some embassy plots for you.

Each time you make a thread, can I take all the jobs? Yes, you can apply to all the threads I make and you can do more than one hiring job.. Who knows, if you're the only one you can end up with a million extra noobz and some awesome gameplay.

What about credits? I am like davinci and demand my swag .. ok stop.. don't worry. You're free to leave a sign locked to a block (that's not in the way if ppl would live there) with your name on it. What is ok : build made by yourName, from town whatever.. What is not ok: like these builds? join town whatever (no advertisements,. basically).

Floris, I don't even know you.. can you even afford this?
Yeah. Don't worry about that.

Anyway. Thank you for reading this, get motivated, sharpen those tools and keep an eye on the forums, there will be a couple of threads per week(end) surely.

Questions? well, ... shoot!

Yay, the old ones work again

*shoots ppl randomly while being invisible*

With usually 3 people online, it's a high chance of winning! Good luck everybody

Congrats ebo

I once had the help from WarriorBen, it took weeks to do it. I paid him a quarter million and for all the resources needed.
Just as an indicator for others who want to hire people.

a chunk is 16x16x16 to get the blocks in the cube.
The area is 5x5 chunks, so 25 x blocks in a chunk
to make the tank you need 27+ levels mined, so 27x previous answer
which should be around 2 million blocks to fill, drain, sponge, gravel, sand, excavate, place, build and manage.

total blocks / durability of items = quite a few tools needing repair as well. maybe make it clear you provide the picks and shovels, the sand, etc?

Without reading this thread: dont reset the world. its suicide.

Pro tip: Mobs can't spawn on bottom-slabs.

Congrats everybody, keep voting!

Time to grind some mcMMO while we're at it

happy holidays everybody

Actually; I see that search is included in a newer version: *auction-house-1-7-1-11. If that's the plugin you guys are using (it looks 100% the same at least) then perhaps an update will include search, woot woot.

Are you hinting at a couple of obvious commands being togglable through a /wild menu (gui) ?
