Forum maintenance in progress
The Archive of Abandoned Builds
Hey guys, it's been awhile. I havent even used this new forum yet! I think a lot of the regulars know me, but I'm Vetous (You can call me Jake if you want, its actually preferred), and I've been here at the Shire on and off for over a year and a half. I'm wrapping up initial build work of my floating city, which is currently called Columbia (From Bioshock Infinite) but will be renamed very soon. I came up with a new idea, which appeals to my meticulous archival nature.
As we all know, the Shire is pretty well known for it's builds, but aside from active cities and Empires, there is a large amount of Abandoned Builds: Half finished cities, unfurnished homes, tree houses, tunnels we never finsished. We've all got a few. Now I personally think these are all very interesting, and add a sense of history to The Shire. So what I propose is an in game library/archive of all of the really big ones. We would make books about each one, with Dynamap Coordinates, a short history of the build if we can find it, the original builder if we want it, and also if we think it is savalgeable or not (In a sense, can it be finished?).
I would do a lot of this myself, which I'm fine with. The first thing I need though is a space, somewhere rather public to actually build the library. I've alreday begun a short survey of ones I've stumbled upon, which are being held on a small island workshop I own. So if anyone has land that I can build on, or a building I can use to set up shop, that would be great. Also, if you know of any interesting abandoned builds, you can post them here with rough dynamap coordinates, that would be great. Thanks!
