Sounds great. So when do I get to forget bitches and get dat mone?

today, sign-up is free, just give us your credit card number, the deed to your house, your social security number and your left nut, and it's ALL yours!Warning, re-funds not available






By the way I was somewhat serious. They're considering car-bombs, there's been discussion of having the community as a whole only have around $2 mill (aka the money would circulate around and of the 200 estimated players, 100,000 possible players, overall the combined money cannot exceed $2 million dollahs), we were jokingly discussing making carrot swords, that was the only real joke.

In all seriousness, they've been working on:
voting/elections, hand-cuffs, arresting and testing all 3
Recently I contacted Vaux and offered to be the builder for his city, and he agreed with what little material I had. As of 12/02/13 9:00pm EST, the following people are assisting me with the construction of the entire server:
AdinX - 10832
Thorfin25 - 2999
Aecherus(?) - ?
Dionysus (maybe, no confirmation yet) - ?

At the moment, there is no building area. However hypothetically with what we have and only using a dupe-wand, we could make the city area.

Dionysus and I have also spoken privately on my server, and I've asked Dionysus if he'd have any interest in con-joining his project with Vaux's (his is incomplete as well, has a similar system, and has a few extra things Vaux's doesn't.) However I haven't breached the subject with Vaux yet, so that's sort of out in the open and he could still say no.

everything I know that's new, dunno how long ago you looked at the thread, that's all stuff from within 3-4 days^

How long will dead bodies last on a server? Will a victim be able to see their dead body and report it? At that point wouldn't there be huge amounts of evidence against the murderer?
Actually, thats a great question.  Currently, bodies last for 1-5 Minutes if the crime went unseen, and 30 Seconds if it was witnessed.  I've been trying to work out a way for this to be better streamlined, because right now you could, technically, report your own body to the police...  As you can imagine, this is bad lol. 
Any suggestions for improving corpses are grateful.

Yeah, I'd be interested in considering this.  Sha'll we talk more on Steam?

Yeah, RIP.

Through a lot of begging, groveling and brown-nosing, I've talked Vaux into letting me be in charge of a general discussion topic for CityMod. Brian probably won't like this, but then again Brian doesn't like me in general.
Here are the current planned uses for the gen. discussion topic:
- Quirky icons for each section (ex. fire hydrant for city details section)
- General introduction to CityMod
- General overview of the server map (hopefully we'll have a minimap!)
- Overall database for CityMod information (maybe a public Google Docs file folder)
- List of all helpers / admins (Scripters, Modelers, Builders, Hosting, etc)
- FAQ
- Public CityMod Calendar (Google+ calendar detailing progress each day, as well as beta-test days open to public)
- Private CityMod Calendar (used strictly for helpers, will be protected, will list all working days)
- A constantly updated list of updates, including date and team-members who worked on goal
- To-do List
- Polls and Poll History (Ask the general public what they want in a mod)
- Images (pre-approved by Vaux prior to posting, to prevent too much information leakage)
- ???
I'm going to begin writing a rough draft tonight for the topic, and I'll run it by Vaux prior to posting.

what are you talking about? I think youa re awesome

what are you talking about? I think youa re awesome
didn't seem like it when you were on the server ;-;


I was kidding Brian, I haven't given you a reason to dislike me.
But next time we talk that might change, cause we need to discuss something about CityMod.

What do you plan to do on victims reporting their own murderers? Like if someone killed you wouldn't you be able to spot the murderer and immediate report him to the police? What would prevent then from doing that, because if that is the case then wouldn't the murderer be immediately jailed?

Maybe there should be permadeath, and the game works off of rounds.

Basically like Space Station 13.

No.
One guy rampages through town and kills 3/4 of the people, now what?
The circle of life in this mod is too reliant on teamwork. If there are no farmers left, then no food is made, then nobody eats, then it just goes to stuff
