Guild City

[ladiestorm]

I think trying to put together an entire city in a month would be way too much to try to take on...But perhaps mapping a section of one? I think that would be very cool to do!

It doesn't have to be done as a 'challenge'. It could be done as an addition to the Guildworld project.
We could thus work it out over a different span of time to allow for everyone, if that is something people would like to do.
Just another option that is available.

If the Community Leaders get penthouse apartments... I'm in!

(Someone will map me living in the sewers for that comment!)

Who would do that?

Great to see you around again!

Thanks for your thoughts Storm.

I hadn't thought of that. Great idea - then we could each have a section to do... but that would require a Master City Builder to generate the overall layout of the city first, with the main roads linking them together clearly marked at the intersections - so that it would all come together nicely like a jigsaw... ummm... J.Edward?

There would also need to be at least one person willing to do any of the sections that got left over or unfinished after the main effort was over, so that we would end up with a whole city, rather than just bits of one, and maybe a time limit for the main effort, so that we all stay focussed and motivated? 2 months? 3 months? More? A suitable time period that would make the building a pleasure, rather than a stressful race - quality over haste.

LOL! I'm thinking that maybe we should consider having a Debating Palace... and a Last Resort gladiator's ring as well, where the mapping gets dirty every Saturday Night - for settling all such disputes

A President's Palace as well?

That sounds like a realyl cool idea and I'd be more than up for that! Need to get more city map practice anyway!

The Guild World map last year worked out mostly okay with that similar sort of format and was great fun to be a part of! (...and see how many coconuts ChickPea was going to steal from my realm...probably hiding them somewhere in her sewer home... )

A time limit is a definite or else so much wouldn't get done. As for someone else filling in the unfinshed gaps, I guess you could have a more definite post-deadline deadline saying that those parts are liable to get redone which would either spur people on to finish their parts or allow new people to take part, or for those who have the time, people to do another section of the map, though perhaps in a different style to their first.

I would definitely be part of such project, if it's not a challenge. But as J.Edward said : each participant a part to draw, and a master builder to put all together ! That would be great !

More great ideas

Keep them coming!

Hahaha!! It seems I have landed myself in the poop again.

Thank you Bogie for creating such a, err, delightful residence! Still, is that a barrel of ale I see? Maybe things aren't so bad after all...

Now, does anyone have a peg for my nose?


EDIT: I forgot to say... I think J.Edward's idea of making it more of a community project rather than a monthly challenge could be something to consider. There was such a buzz around here last spring with Guildworld. It'd be great to try to recreate that.

I vote that Chickpea gets to draw Bogie's residence

Hehe is that my chance for revenge?? Lucky I'm not petty....
