Project USA
Project currently halted!
Overview
Project USA is a build focused on recreating areas of the United States in Blockland, mini-wise. Originally I was planning to tackle by myself (ignorant me), but I realized that to authentically replicate the USA I need more people. Each major city (as many as can fit!) will have a group of people trying to recreate it in the areas provided. I'm not just talking about remaking all the city's landmarks, but to create an authentic vibe and feel of the place. To do this, I'm desiring
your help. If you live in or near one of the cities named, for gods sake sign up! Even if you can't build well, help people who can replicate what you know and love.
How This Will WorkA server with a password, which will be hosted by ___________, will have this build. IRC me in-game or PM me here to get the password! On this server, obviously we will work.
As stated, each metropolitan area will have a team. These teams should have at least one person who is native to the area the team is in charge of. Each area won't be recreated to perfection, that is why I prioritize capturing the vibe of a place over just building landmarks. The areas have to look like people actually live there, not just a bunch of famous buildings. On another note, just because you're in one team doesn't mean you have to only build in that area, everyone will need extra help.
The idea is that people who understand what a certain part of the country looks like will do a better job replicating that area than someone who doesn't. This is why the build is divided into teams.
Signing UpTo sign up, just post which team you want to be on, and what would make you an expert of that part of the country. If you plan on building, you must be excellent. Even if you've been approved to be on a team, stuff builds will be deleted. But just because you can't build doesn't mean you shouldn't sign up. The people who will build need your help to catch the vibe of the areas.
Important note:
People from other countries are welcome to help! The USA is a diverse place, and we should honor that by allowing anyone to help, even if they don't live here.
If You don't want to directly help, but still want to see your city represented, post (in this topic) pictures of places you want to see built!
Team ListThe map so far is just an outline. I haven't started on building stuff yet, I'm waiting for your help. I know the map isn't perfect, and will be changed if needed, (Lake Michigan will be bigger) but what really matters is the cities; not the shape of the map. Each oval represents one or two cities, the color is the team name.

HostingI can't host this. If you are willing to offer your hosting services, please contact me via PM or posting. I would like someone trustworthy and personally, a dedicated would be fabulous.
Final NotesIf someone can build something better than you, it doesn't matter that they aren't in your team, they will replace it. This mainly applies to landmarks.
I really hope we can get this moving, this will be a wonderful project and will be really fun! :D
Important Note:
This topic will be the place where the pictures of progress will be posted, and doubles as the main post.
