[Recruiting] NewRapture

[geckosquid]

Town name: New Rapture (or NewRapture if it has to be one word)
Mayor: geckosquid
Nation: Helvanthar
Do you got a Townsquare/market?: Hard to explain; read below. The short answer is yes, but they're separate.
Do you got at least 5 players who want to join? Who?: Not yet; that's the point of this post.

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! It will be under the nation of Helvanthar.

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 simply helping to build it. More detail here: http://kiwike.se/forum/showthread.php?tid=358

Well, that's about it. As I said before, if you are interested in becoming a citizen of NR come Kiwike 2.0, post a comment on this thread, email me at [email protected], or ask me in-game. Thanks for reading!

I must say I am impressed, you are so dedicated. The sad part is that this has been done so many times before (trust me, even I have tried to build Rapture) and the other thing is that there are so many other towns being planned and barely enough players to fill those towns. I wish you the best of luck though! If you don't succeed the doors to Unterstag are always open! Well as soon as 2.0 comes out...

I must say, I wasn't aware that this had been done before (but with the gargantuan number of Minecraft players, I guess I shouldn't be surprised). Well then, this will be the best one

Just to clarify, this isn't supposed to be like Rapture at all except that it's underwater. New Rapture just seemed like the best name for an underwater city.
