Oh yeah!  I finally found the island we we're supposedly basing the build off of:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Saint-Michel

Screenies, though:

My big palace build.  Been meaning to put this up for a while, but since it wasn't technically done I didn't.

As further advocation, this works well as what is basically an open-source build because it's got a lot of space, and it's partially incomplete.  It'd be really (REALLY) cool to see, say, a crumbling version of this with all kinds of buildings made on top of it.

The descriptions of the various screens sound like lyrics from a Dragonforce song.


"Coming forth from the light the hatred and evil of darkness shows its face."

(totally wicked sweet awesome guitar solo)

"Beyond the darkness and the light lives a creature unknown to us all."

Srsly 2k of bricks is not enough to be metaphorical over.

To be fair my palace isn't in the gallery, and we only DMed in it for about a day or two, so it's slim odds that he saw it.  I'm flattered though.  Although the point of my palace was monumental scaling, which you kind of failed at.

I dunno what to say about the titantic builds, since there are so goddamned many of them.  I don't remember them very well.

I'm still wrapping my mind around the way some of these bricks are angled... well done with that.

Although like what everyone has said, the shape is a bit off.

but probably want to see buildings as well as your personality.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel.  I have the same hull gripes as face (and I'm a sailor, so probably more,) but boats are really, really hard to do in blockland so it's tough to judge.  Show us some ground-based stuff, eh?

You do get a lot of bonus points for including a forestaysail and the like.  Don't see that too often.

This looks awesome.  I can't wait.  Please do make the 8x8 and 6x6 peices.  If you're motivated, I could use a 10x10 probably as well, but that's just me.

Personally, I think the block in the demo is the only model really needed, but if you wanna do a complicated one, go for it.

By the way, what does JVS stand for?

Probably not.  Your build lacks any real sense of overall form, and the details feel quite linear.

I have to say I don't really understand some builders.  You guys build like you're levelediting for an NES game.  The part that confounds me is most of you are too young for that sort of thing.

ID 3001 is extant, and a goon no less.

Badspot has, by rough estimate, made at least 40 grand off this game (not sure how many of those special offer keys were sold.)  Well done!

It's just how us Virginians do. But yeah, outside of blockland, I don't look like I play on the computer, nor look like a geek, so I'd get embarrassed if I talked about these kinds of games. I mean I'm 18 and play a game revolved mostly around 13 aged players. It's fun but it's just not me. Also Wizzard I just got a girlfriend and thats basically the main reason I don't get on much anymore. I scope the servers, but maybe about 30 minutes in blockland a day, and it's getting shorter everyday.

yo yo yo word son where u at in tha big VA?

(Williamsburg.  Have we been through this? PM me.)

Yeah I may mention Blockland to my more geeky friends, but I usually present it as a ludicrous amusement rather than the serious business it really is.
