Title: Visiting towns
Post by: ben501 on 23 Aug 2012, 01:11:39
Hey there, as a personal project I will visit all the towns in this server; the town list is big but i have time so lets start.

Im writing this not to advertise any town nor to say which town is better and everything that I may say about a town is my opinion which may vary from yours so try and take things easy.

The first town I visited is Glasgow

let see how do I start this...Glasgow is an amazing town: right in the beginning you can see that this town was very well though. As you spawn into Glasgow you get teleport to its castle, if you think this is nothing then you are wrong!, the first thing you see is an impressive view of the town and its building (some of the houses are huge while others are humble houses). As any other town (rather a metropolis) it has its streets which are well-lit and wide enough to fit a chariot (sadly Minecraft doesnt have them), one thing that is vital for any town are the signs telling players where farms and the such are so this lead me to Glasgow´s farms.

Farms and Spawners
The first spawner that I found was the sheep spawner which is located nearby the spawning point (the castle), there are two of the spawners so its about 10 sheeps which should be enough to provide wool for the members of the town. After that I stumble upon something that was odd; a hostile mob spawners (zombies) well the spawners itself is not weird but the complex trap. The spawner is in the middle of a room which have water, as the zombie spawn it gets tranported what i can describe as a water elevator and later the zombie will fall and either die or take fall damage and the player can get easy XP and drops, an quite interesting trap. They also have skeles and spider spawners (they might have more but i could not find any other.  They have a lot of animal spawns but there was a portion of the town reserved to spawners such as dogs, cats, chicken, pigs and villagers and outside the rooms (the spawners were inside rooms) someone post it signs with warnings and instrucitons like "dont kill the dogs because they will attack you and kill you".

The farms were another thing that I like about this town, they are huge and whoever is in charge of the farms is doing a excellent job. As far as I know they have a cocoa bean farm, a wheat farm, sugar cane farm, cacti farm, mushroom farm, nether stalk farm and of course the tree farms.

Amazing Buildings
For Glasgow Buildings I visited Buckie´s church: the church is a "work of art". It is enormous and it remains me of the medieval cathedrals in which people felt small compare to the majestic design of the building. Buckie told me that he and other players build the church (I wont mention the names of the people who help him because im afraid that I might left someone out of the list), if you ever get a chance to look at it make sure to visit the Pyramid of Glasgow which is adjacent to the church and the Stadium, I wonder if they use the Stadium as the Romans used theirs. Hey guys If you do that let me know!

AFter a long walk in Glasgow I stopped and relax in their beaches, next time your planning a Minecraft vacation make sure to see the beach in Glasgow.

Well this was my first town and my first post. Let me know what you think about it and hey if i miss any important building that I need to see let me know (either send me a Pm here in the forum or /msg me in-game)

If you want me to go and see your town please post it here and let me know!

Well first off, I am very happy to see that someone has finally taken a real interest in Glasgow. It encourages me to grow the town and I have been getting an incredible amount of support lately.

I will point out a few things about the town you must go back and visit.

I don't know if you have seen the other animal farm, the town has 2 animal farms. The town has been broken up into 2 districts, the 1st district and the 2nd district.

In the 1st district:
1st district animal farms, I don't know if you have saw this one or the other, I hope you go and have a look at it is you haven't.

Zombie spawner, you have described this.

Skeleton spawner, similar to the zombie spawner but it has a much more interesting look to it, I suggest taking a look at it.

Spider spawner, needs a lot of work. It works but.. it lacks the look, if you know what I mean.

Nation building, now you obviously have not seen this building or you would have put it up on your post, I suggest that you go and have a look it. The building is not complete, we have been working on it for quite a while now. I'm hoping it will be done before I make the Glasgow town post.

2nd District:

Okay so I have just started on the 2nd district, it does not hold much as of now but it will soon be as big as the first district(thanks to joe raising the maximum land of course, thank you once again joe).

2nd district animal spawners, you must have seen this, its either the 1st or the 2nd lol, if you haven't saw one of them I will show you in-game.

The pyramid, don't quite know what I'm gunna do with this yet, I have some ideas but it will just have to wait.

The arena, this will be taken down. I will be taking it down and I'll be building a much bigger and better one, I have been working on this new arena for some time now in creative mode, I can't wait to start.

The church, to me personally, I love this building, I never thought it would turn out all that good but by the comments I've gotten for it, I was obviously wrong lol. I just want to thank everyone for their nice comments about the church and my other stuff, it encourages me to do more.

There's a lot more things in-store for the 2nd district, you just have to wait and see :)

There is more to see in your town!? Aweome!. I will be back today to see what I miss, maybe you can give me a tour of the town so I dont miss anything.  I saw some animal spawners but I didnt know that you have a lot of animal spawners so forgive me for missing those spawners.

Hey I'll go and check 2nd district before it was finish and I'll go back when it is done.

See ya in-game!
Title: Re: Visiting towns
Post by: buckieUK09 on 23 Aug 2012, 14:24:51
I would be more than happy to give you a tour. When I see you in-game and when your ready, we will begin.

Glasgow Part II

As you read in Buckie's responds. I forgot to visit a few buildings but dont let that fool you, this are marvelous structures. I also forgot to see the zoo/farms. So lets start.

Buildings
Mr. Buckie was jumping and pulling me to see the Nation Building (it might not be the Offical name) and I can tell that he is proud of this building and he should be...but lets set the mood: Imagine yourself in Ancient Greece or Rome (your choice), you are from another town and you hear about the Beautiful yet imponent buildings that these people have build. Well thats the feeling I got when I was in front of the Nation Building, as you approach this building you feel small because of the enormous greek-like pillars. Then you enter and get smack in the face; the interior is magnificent. At both sides, made out of gold blocks(if i remember correctly) stand torch-like (sorry my vocabulary is limited:3) structure illuminating and reveling the sizes of the buildings. As you walk straight you will see the "throne room", guess who sits in the "big chair"? of course is Buckie and besides him sits TheMiddle13. I was dumbstruck and buckie said to me "hey lets see the upstair"...Buckie are you trying to kill me? just kidding, the building has not only the throne room but it has several floors, the second being the offices, there is also the soon to be VIP room and the party Room! Make sure to invite me in.

Buckie is planing more for his town, a new thing is the carnival but thats another story...

Farms and Spawners
I missed one beautiful farms in Glasgow, which its also a zoo (or that what I think it looks like), the entrance is big and you have spawners left and right, it has chickens, wolf, ocelots, mooshroom (sorry if i spell it wrong) and the most dangerous of all mobs in Minecraft....the villager!. I suggest you guys to go and check it out.

Last but not least are hostile mob spawners. Once again a complex trap for the skeles ("they go up a tube and down... kill them with one hit") and the spiders which is among the firsts trap made by buckie.

Buckie may be a guitar teacher in real life but he is,in my opinion, one of the best builders in Minecraft. Keep the good work!.

I think that is it for Glasgow unless Buckie or someone from this town want to add something.

So what town should i visit next? Post it here!
Title: Re: Visiting towns
Post by: ben501 on 25 Aug 2012, 18:35:30
Next town is going to be DragonFire!
Title: Re: Visiting towns
Post by: buckieUK09 on 26 Aug 2012, 00:50:26
I'm definitely not the best builder but I am an extremely fast learner and very creative, my creative side comes from my music. I can only get better from here lol.

Looking forward to seeing your dragonFire report.
Title: Re: Visiting towns
Post by: ben501 on 26 Aug 2012, 01:16:10
Thanks Buckie, I will try and make this post more interesting by  posting pictures of the buildings I see in the towns, so I may visit Glasgow again to take photos of the farms, spawners and your structures.

It might be too soon to say anything but i Know that you and Batuus are good buiilders (i think batuus is the designer of a stadium in other town).

The next post about DragonFire will be post either monday or tuesday
Title: Re: Visiting towns
Post by: buckieUK09 on 26 Aug 2012, 02:12:33
Batuus is a great builder, far better than me. It doesn't mean that I won't get to his level though. Yep that's right batuus, watch out lol.

Yes, I'm living there. Hmm, what else you should not miss? Honestly, DragonFire is a big construction area, it change every week. 1 Example: There was a huge mountain next to the cemetery (alias known as the mobgrinder for the nation), within a day there were new plots for sale and a new party area.
But I like it so, DragonFire grows like a medieval town, not as an exact planned city with all kinds of building codes on your own plot. We also protect the old village. But I won't write more about the town, because you have to make your own picture  :).

If you think about the maximum size the town can be we are at 831/1250 so you can say it is really big, one of the biggest I think :) "That's what she said"

Im going to divide my visiting to Dragon Fire into several segments due to the pictures and because it takes a while for me to go through the photos and pick the ones i like and the ones that are awesome.

This will be my first time posting photos so if you have some suggestions as to how to submit photos in a different way please let me know.

Welcome to Dragon Fire


(https://embed.noobscraft.com/6148523063446f764c326b784d6a557a4c6e426f62335276596e566a613256304c6d4e766253396862474a3162584d76614767314f445176516d567558314a694c33526f587a63304d574e6c4f444d344c6e42755a775f5f) (http://s1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh584/Ben_Rb/?action=view&current=741ce838.png)

The Major of Dragon Fire is Twisted who guided me through her town, Tidal was my guide in my first trip and she showed me around the town; she explain me a little bit about the town and its people, the surroundings and the main builders. Now what can i say about this town? well this town is connected to nature; trees, flowers and grass is all around and inside this town, the streets are made of mossy cobblestone and in its border there are trees or fountain. Like any other huge town, dragon fire have its farms which are huge and, if i may say so, impressive.

But first we will start with the buildings of Dragon Fire

Buildings, builders and a sweet present

There are a lot of impressive and beatiful buildings, however I selected a few that I think are awesome. Sadly I dont know the name of the builders of some of the builidings that im gonna show, if you see your house/building please point it out for us to know.

Well the builders of Dragon Fire are many but the main two (I might be wrong) are TwistedLover and Albatrov5. They are responsible for some of the buildings like the "events building" (not the official name) and the farm/zoo. Each member of this town is free to build what they want, so it was really hard for me to select one to represent the town but here are some.

The spawning point, as usual the town rules are here and well you better follow the rules otherwise you could get kick from the town or ban. The spawning area is in the mouth of a cave, I dare not explore inside the cave (im a lover not a fighter...nah im to scare to do it) and right besides the spawning point is Twisted's humble house.

rules of the town and an inside look of the spawning area

Haha, inside the cave it winds up through the mountain to a simple mountain-top. It houses DragonSoulSong's original mini-hut. It will one day hopefully have a rollercoaster that you ride to the airport that will be situated in the sky.

The "events building" is what we tend to call the "title building". It will hold some events like drop parties if we want them there, and when Albatros gets around to it, it will describe all the things one can do to receive a title on their name within the town/nation.

Enjoying this so far, looking forward to the rest of this. ^^

For the building honorable mention

It was really hard for me to pick the honorable mention because i like all of the buildings, there are a lot of buildings that are amazing and others that are humble, but here are a few

Lets start off with some giant statues, the first one is here!
(https://embed.noobscraft.com/6148523063446f764c326b784d6a557a4c6e426f62335276596e566a613256304c6d4e766253396862474a3162584d76614767314f445176516d567558314a694c7a646a5a6a6b354e6a59334c6e42755a775f5f)

Im not sure if this is simple a monument or a house, one thing i can say for sure is that i love the blinking glowstone that is on the head of the statue, if you made this please let us know and claim the braggings rights!

the next one you better dont look him in the eye or he will kill you...or stomp you to death, not really sure which one. I present you diggypero Enderman!

... the harbour of Dragon Fire ..., this only confirms one thing; this town is rich ;).
Hm, you have been at the harbour there before the new ship was finished. It might have been a even stronger confirmation as it just "came back from the mining world" ;)

Yay Cal III!!  :D Good luck!

Umm. Thanks for making this thread, Ben! This really shows that there's a whole lot more to see in Noobstown than what one expects. Have Fish or Mitch tour you around Oakvale next time :) They gave me one and it was amazing!

Oakvale is a really nice town. Its very thought out. I admit, when Tortuga was started, no one expected it to expand as it has. Really great staff can do that for a town. Tortuga is a randomly laid out town, but still worth a tour if you want one. Give us about a month to finish up some things, first.

Ill let the owner of a town when im ready to go and visit his/her town
