Title: Morning Wood Village
Post by: BIRDMAN2121 on 21 Jun 2011, 04:07:00: MORNING WOOD

Hey all, MorningWood is back up and better than ever! As you can tell we went with a more village approach this time rather than the castle look. Reason being was the castle limited building space, but now we have more than enough room to build on. Not only did we change the look of the town but we added a few new things that will improve how the town functions.

New Installments

1. Monorail System - This allows for faster travel throughout the entire town. It is a system of raised railways that take you all across town with various pit stops incase you find an area you wish you want to visit.

2. Separate Plots - This was a problem with the previous town, plots were not set up properly making it hard for me to stop people from building randomly. All plots are in a general area near the harbor and gives a suburban feel to the village.

3. Town Boards - I have installed a set of boards in the town square (town spawn) that give the rules of the town, tell news of upcoming events, list jobs that people have that you can make money from, and a board that list your advertisements of things you are selling in a shop or selling personally.

4. Bonfires - We will have a lot of bonfires, this started because I was destroying a home that was vacant, and everybody came and watched as I blew it up with TNT then decided to burn down the rest. Right when I started burning it night came around and everyone just had fun playing around in the fire. Everyone had a good time so I am making it a tradition.

5. Directory Signs - Something I notice in a lot of towns is that have all these random buildings and people get lost in the towns. I have set up signs all over the town to help guide people to the major areas of the town, such as: Town Square, Public Mine, Woodcutting Forest, Plots, and the Harbor. This is to help outsiders have a tour without someone guiding them, and to help residents find their way around as they get used to the layout of things.

Those are just a few things that have been added to the town to make life easier on residents and myself. If you have any suggestions to things that could improve the town post them below, please no BS ****.

A Little Bit More About The Town

MorningWood is a great place to live with beautiful plots and lots of friendly people. Our town assistants are always helping with people who have questions and I am also always trying to help wherever I can. I am often busy with town improvements or helping someone else, so if I am busy and nobody is online to help, I just ask you have patience and I will help you as soon as I can. We almost always have someone online that can help though so you shouldn't have any problems with waiting for someone to be online. I live in the US, and I am on Central Standard Time and I am typically on from 9:00 pm (21:00) until 3:00-4:00 am. I am also on throughout the day for 1-2 hours at a time. But if I am not on there is usually someone on in the town to answer your questions.

MorningWood is currently the most popular town in the server, we have 30 residents as things stand right now and the amount of residents just keeps rising all the time. If you want to join just talk to me, BIRDMAN2121 or my right hand man Ossukas. I hope you choose MorningWood as your home town. See you online!

Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: ossukas on 21 Jun 2011, 13:40:07: We need to set up a teamspeak or something because if there's like third of the town online it takes so much time to write...

Ohh and what I think the best thing about this town to a new player are the prices. There are no taxes ( atm ) and proper plots cost only 1k...as for Entrolla they are 15k yet the sizes are all the same. And also the friendliness is higher than the void and tyja's rainbows...

Post by: BIRDMAN2121 on 21 Jun 2011, 15:29:15: Now now guys, lets not trash other towns on the forums. You can make our town look good without killing the rep of others. Let them do that on their own, and Geo has been on alot more so I am sure they are going to start work back up on it. and the 1k price isnt set for new players, it is set that way because money isn't a huge deal to me. I prefer to get my resources the natural way.

The 1k plots will drop in price when I start to claim less land. That is why they are 1k is because it cost 100 Nz to claim one plot, so 1k allows us to get 10 plots. Plus all donations go right into the town bank so we have plenty of money to live off of.

Geo's 15k plots are probably to stop new people that don't know how to build well from making the town look bad. I think that is a good idea, but I also think if they learn to build better they can take down their homes and rebuild to make it look better.

And as for the teamspeak, we do need to set one up. And I will look into that tomorrow when I get home from vacation. That will make things much easier and we can talk without stopping work progress all the time. =P

And the bonfires, we will have one whenever I see alot of people online. We will only have one once a week, and not always week, because I want at least 5 people on excluding me and assistant before we start it. I don't know how we will do it, but I think I will build a home and we will destroy it, that way if I don't have anything to build for the town at the moment I can work on the bonfire, so I always have somethin to do.

Post by: demonb42 on 21 Jun 2011, 16:55:22: Every week, we should start building a house on Metal's old plot. We keep building until it's time for the bonfire. Then, we set it on fire (it'll be made out of wood) and start a new one the next day.

Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: BIRDMAN2121 on 22 Jun 2011, 04:54:51: Metal: Yes we burnt down your house. But it was in my town, and I had no use for it seeing as it wasn't on a plot and people want to build their own homes.

Coll: Your house still there. But you may need to reclaim it seeing as I don't know if I turned taxes off soon enough.

Demon/Bob: Sure, you can help me build it, whoever wants to build on it can. Does not bother me one bit. I will leave that plot unclaimed by the town so anybody can build on it.

But you have your own town now, so why did you come onto my town forum and ***** about being kicked?

Post by: james on 16 Jul 2011, 09:58:36: so why is everything being flooded lol?My internet was off for awhile and i was wonder what happen to the town when just joined. :l lol some how the water completely went around my home.also someone jacked my anvil lol *******s.
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: Geoboy66 on 16 Jul 2011, 12:27:15: Joe decided that current map is ****.
And I've got to say I agree with him as will, and some may not.
Joe has decided to make a completely new world for us to restart on but he doesn't just want to delete the map like that, instead he is going to have a big event. As you can see the towns of Noobscraft are slowly flooding but by the 22nd of this month all towns will be submerged in water and anything that does not have some sort of water protection is going to fall to ruin. I sugest you start making your house floodproof.

Hope this answers your question :)
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: BIRDMAN2121 on 16 Jul 2011, 20:27:29: I suggest not wasting your time on water proofing. =P If you want to be productive the last few days, go mine and make money because money/stats will transfer to the new server. Its not fun at all, but at least you will be ready to buy land and build on v4 on the 22nd. Waterproofing is pointless because Joe and just type /thru and make things worse for you. So I say let him flood and just work your way around it if you need to get to your home.

Post by: james on 17 Jul 2011, 04:44:45: Thanks for the info i get my plot free right :P i did pay for one ill probably just take a break tell new worlds up see you guys than and heres to Morningwood 2 hopefully it was great town.
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: BIRDMAN2121 on 17 Jul 2011, 05:37:50: The thing with the free plots is people who sign up on the town forums will get a free plot, so if you go to morningwood.freeforums.org (http://morningwood.freeforums.org) and sign up, your first plot will be free.
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: james on 18 Jul 2011, 00:55:14: ah ok thanks again.
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: daniel_blackwood on 18 Jul 2011, 23:06:18: Jon, as to the first plot being free, how much will adding 3 more to it cost? will it be the usual 15,000 as you said on the town's site? Or will it be 10,000, as you get one free? I am asking this because i want to make a 32x32 house, so the "first plot free " rule should make the expanded plot 10,000 for previous residents.
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: BIRDMAN2121 on 18 Jul 2011, 23:09:52: That is correct, 10,000.. But a 32x32 house seems like a bit much? Are you going to have a garden or anything or will it just be one huge house?

I have not decided, although it will probably have a tree farm. Expect a big amazing cube, kind of like magicman's one that had to be torn down, but it will be legal
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: BIRDMAN2121 on 18 Jul 2011, 23:14:33: Please not a cube.. That is just stupid, give your house some shape dude. I want the town to look good. Not like a bunch of gigantic boxes with windows and a door..
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: lindatjuh on 19 Jul 2011, 00:29:32: thats excactly the same thing my mother is complaining about when we drive through cities
and I agree those box houses are not cool make it as real live villa kinda that would look nice
but please drop the box idea :/
Title: Re: Morning Wood Village
Post by: daniel_blackwood on 19 Jul 2011, 16:56:41: OK, well not a perfect cube obviously, it will have a tree farm on the roof, and will have a balcony overlooking the street, with maybe a big radio telescope somewhere, but no, it will not be an eyesore, or a perfect cube. I meant that only in size, lke magicmans one that had to be torn down. You will not be disappointed, trust me.
