South: Maplehold

[darrenstraight 2,330]

Hello and welcome to Maplehold,

Maplehold has some very interesting scenery and has 3 different biomes in a small area around the welcome centre, you'll have to go there and explore a bit to see the scenery although some of it will become quite obvious as you are travelling there! Maplehold is a town based on wood. Pine wood, birch wood, oak wood and even jungle wood! It is based in the south of YAMS and will be needing plenty of help from the community very soon to keep it growing!

Hope to see you there soon - The Maplehold team.

Seems as though i should probably post something here, Basically i'm waiting a few more days so that everyone's settled in a bit better in the town before we start doing anything major, and the first thing i've been thinking about the community doing is a giant bridge connecting two of the mountains up near the welcome centre, we can then use this as part of a path to lead to the first building made by the community, if you want a say in what's going to be built there then i suggest you get posting. Any design ideas for the bridge would be much appreciated as well! Remember, we are a wooden town Opinions please!

[Jennercyde 81]

The bridge should be one of two designs, it should either be a big grand bridge or a small rope bridge.
I personally think the bridge should be a huge grand bridge like the ones you see leading up to castles

[DeathLinaty 25]

Oh of course it's going to be grand no point it leading up to an awesome community build if it's going to be a shoddy rope bridge

[Jennercyde 81]

Hey! Could have been an awesome rope bridge.

[DeathLinaty 25]

My fellow Maplehold residents! We will need to be collecting the wood this weekend for the bridge project, get as much of each type of log as is possible please! If we get too much we can always keep it for any up and coming projects so don't worry about cutting down too many trees Get chopping!

[Captain_Marbles 249]

Wish I could help, but I've got some coursework to finish over the weekend

[d8g4cnd24_h7 102]

Along with soccerdude6327, I think that Maplehold should have a bigger farm. Since the city is growing, we need more food to support the community. I am sure that all the residents would appreciate it if this could happen. Thank you!

[darrenstraight 2,330]

Right guys lets get rolling! [list]
[*]Have we collected enough wood yet for this bridge? If not why not? Are people holding out on us? If so start chopping, tell everyone you see or know in maplehold that we need wood... come on let's get this first public build done!
[*]It's been suggested we need bigger farms? Please discuss! What would you like to see? How can you help? Again tell other in maplehold to get on these forums and discuss.
[/list]
Thanks,
Darren

[DeathLinaty 25]

We have all the wood ready for the new farm and i have found a good area to have it, the bridge will be put on hold until the farm is done. We should have enough wood for the bridge as well thanks to D8 and co.! Thaks guys, hopefully we'll start work on the farm at the weekend or tomorrow

i just have some suggestions for maplehold to improve it:

First, we could use an animal farm. At least that would be helpful.
Secondly, a public brewing and enchantment room
Thirdly, maybe street lights.
Fourth, a community room with community chests so that we can aquire new items and put others in.
Lastly, an atrraction; maybe a maze; just something fun to do and complete. (no lights maze--possibility)

These are just ideas to improve the town of Maplehold.

[wolfboys 10]

I do agree with d8g4cnd24_h7. We do need a animal farm. Another thing that i would like to add that is we need to expand the newly built farm. I would be happy to expand the ground it sits on, but it does not fit the picture i had in my mind about the new farm.\

Just remember dont make everything flat, I like hills and such and flattening everything looks boring and dull, make sure theres little hills ans such!

[wolfboys 10]

So Darren, you will let me expand the farm? If i can, i will ask other's to help me. I will also make sure that we add hills, like you said.

Dan's (DeathLinaty) call not mine. Im just talking here as I live in all towns!

[wolfboys 10]

Another thing i will ask if i can do, is if i can change the design for the farm. We have to much water and not enough crops.

[d8g4cnd24_h7 102]

I also agree with wolfboys. I thought the new farm would be huge like five times the size it is now. Whenever you next see this message, Dan, please respond if Wolf and I could expand the farm.

Yea, you can help. When you can, come online and grab some dirt and help! The more people the better. After that, we can re-design the farm. It isn't efficient and not big. Edited March 15, 2012 by wolfboys

[DeathLinaty 25]

Wolf has kindly redone the farm so that it's more efficient, the next thing we'll be working on is the bridge and the a warehouse type thing to keep materials in for future community builds so that everyone knows where the materials are for them when you're helping out We need designs for the bridge! any ideas for it would be great and would be good if i could have them as soon as possible!

I am finished. Thanks to Ustas55 for helping me with the dirt. Come and try out the new farm. Make sure to Replant!

[ustas55 3]

I helped wolfboys with the farm and it looks much better. The pumpkins and melons grow very fast. If you need to re-fertilize some dirt, there are hoes in a chest on the left side of the wheat farm, and a seed chest on the right. We hope you enjoy the new farm! Thanks Dan of letting us re-do it!

[wolfboys 10]

Could you clarify for what you mean by a bridge? I do also do like the idea for the warehouse. The only problem that i have for it is where are we getting all the materials for the stocking the warehouse? I would be happy to fill it up with stone, and i am sure that we have enough wood from the last project.

[DeathLinaty 25]

A Big bridge linking up two of the mountain near the welcome centre The warehouse will be filled up from people donating materials for public builds

[wolfboys 10]

Alright, That sounds like a great idea! I also think that we need more of a attraction point. Something that will draw people into our town. Maybe a Animal farm?
