I am geckosquid, and I am here to ask you a question.
Is a gamer not entitled to the sweat of his hands?
No, says the man in Harbor City. It belongs to the newcomers.
No, says the man in the Stone Creeper. It belongs to the Creeper.
No, says the man in Bamboo City. It belongs to the community.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...
New Rapture!
After much delay due to the temporary server being slightly less temporary than expected, the construction of the underwater glass city called New Rapture is finally going to begin when Kiwike 2.0 is released!
DISCLAIMER: The idea of New Rapture was created by both me and asdfasdfjky911. However, after making Bamboo City, asdf handed the management of New Rapture over to me. Because of this, NR will be closely allied with Bamboo no matter what.

New Rapture Plans
There will be one big tower in the center with large glass structures branching off of it. These structures will be districts.
Districts:
Residential District
The Residential District will consist of multiple glass buildings connected to the center tower by 2X1 glass hallways. Part of the price of admission into New Rapture will be the glass and dirt required to build these houses. There will be no guidelines for these houses other than that they cannot be over half as tall as the tower in the center.
Commercial District
The Commercial District is where citizens will place their businesses. There will be one long 3X2 hallway with shops branching off of it; citizens will also pay for the glass and dirt needed to build their shops.
Mining District
The Mining District will be yet another long hallway with other hallways branching off of it. At the end of each smaller hallway (the ones branching off of the main 3X2 hallway will be 2X2) will be a mine that belongs to one citizen. These mines will be very spaced out to prevent tunnels running into each other. Each citizen of New Rapture will receive their own mining area.
Creation District
The Creation District will be a sandbox area where citizens can build whatever they want. The only rules will be that one cannot destroy another’s creations.

Getting Into New Rapture
1: The Descent
In keeping with the beginning of Bioshock, there will be a large tower protruding out of the ocean near the shore. Citizens will walk into this tower and go down a glass tube with a ladder that goes all the way down to the sea floor. This tube will deposit the citizen in the Creation District. No other tubes to the surface will be permitted; intruders are easier to manage when they’re only coming through one entrance.
2. Admission Fee
The admission fee into New Rapture will be 2 stacks of glass and 4 stacks of dirt, plus any materials needed to build one’s house and shop. This rather steep price will ensure that only players who truly want to be a citizen of New Rapture will live in the city. Also, anyone interested MUST AID IN THE BUILDING OF NR. Trust me, it will be worth it.
Well, that's about it. If you want to see a miniature model of what New Rapture will look like, contact me in-game or just pay a visit to my house. As I said before, if you are interested in becoming a citizen of NR come Kiwike 2.0, post a comment on this thread or email me at
