I can't believe I'm doing this, knowing in advance that I'm probably going to catch stuff for this. I've seen one or two people speak up about this, so I'm going to go ahead and throw caution to the wind. It's quarter past midnight where I live. Why not, let's do this.
Limpfittz, simmer down.
Let me start out by saying you're a good dude and an okay builder, but you're doing this weird thing recently.
You catch a few good builds, and a mediocre one that noobs latch onto. Now, you're acting like you're the coolest thing since ice. What's up with the second clan guideline thing? You're just encouraging activity that we don't want here. Do you really believe that telling eight-year olds that there are already clans to join is going to discourage them from making their own? No, it doesn't.
The other clan guide is straight- It basically says don't make a clan if no one knows you. It almost tells you to not make a clan period.
And your template sucks.
When I made a clan, I used the other clan guidelines and I barely made it. The odds were wholly against me- I was coming into a saturated market, I wasn't the most liked member then, and the idea wasn't innovative. It wasn't accepted at first, but we opened up to the large majority of Blockland's fan base- the one's that aren't necessarily legendary builders and we found new life. That's what clans are about- not formatting.
A long long time ago I made a clan that had a good layout and a decent premise. It failed. Miserably. You see- Clans aren't about formatting and people knowing you- it's really about you knowing what you're doing. Who you want to reach, your model for how you want to conduct yourself as a body of friends, and that's something you can't teach someone.
Now let's get back to your ego- what's up?
You are looking like a second me.
Except with like a way cooler haircut and more Swedish-ness
I don't see why you're making a massive deal out of this 'live a life' rpg thing. It's not that great of a build, on your part anyway. You put down a very basic landscape and let everyone else build around you. I understand posting pictures, but I feel like you're making a big deal out of nothing...
Kind of like the Empire Tower?
Now, your building technique thread.
What is up with that?
You're teaching people to be generic in a new way, good job. What good is the skills you've taught people if they're just going to make it the same? I was thinking about making a building strategy thread, but then I realized, what good would that do for people? My strategy is get a general idea of a shape, rough out some of the defining elements, and then make it up as I go through the rest build. I've turned out some pretty good builds with that formula.
When I built the Sirrus Compound, it started out as the admin. tower, which I probably wouldn't have built an interior for. The Sirmu Tower as it was known when it was first started, was begun by looking at the Price Tower and getting inspiration for the basic form.
Then I decided to add a whole compound around the tower I built.
Now it's a default save in V11.
The point I'm trying to get around to is this: mellow out.
Let me close by saying you're a cool dude. You're not actually bad, and don't take this thread as an attack on you that's specifically malicious. As odd and possibly hypocritical this probably sounds, I'm trying to help.
I know these are all very discordant examples, and I don't blame you if you read this and just hate me more because this really made no sense. I wrote this well after midnight, and, yeah. I'm tired.
