God your attempts at playing on words are fucking horrible, just stop.
As for ponies, I'm sure you do things in your spare time that, god forbid you have any, friends would disapprove of.

Hey everyone. I wanted to post some stuff explaining what we're going to be building at the capital. People seem a bit unsure and directionless, so I want to make things clear. Basically the idea is to have a full city with houses all over the place, and also several landmarks. The big unfinished circular building is the library/enchanting building. Dakka is planning an imperial palace to put at the northern end of the island. I also want to add two arenas, one for melee and bows, and one for boat jousts.

The boat joust arena will be in the ocean, and based off the Hippodrome for chariot races. (I'd like to call it the Pippodrome.)

The other arena will be on top of a pyramid, so the foundation will look like this, and we'll fight on top.

I also sketched some rough maps to show the layout of the base and the location of proposed changes. The first map is just the shape of the island. The second shows the buildings we've finished so far. The third map shows the additions I talked about. The gold oval is the palace Dakka is planning, the purple oval is the ocean arena, and the red rectangle is the land arena. The big gray line is a half-stone road, and the dark brown squares are the places that could most use new buildings. This isn't meant to show the final appearance of the city. We'll probably add a lot more after this. These are just the projects we're working on now.

*EDIT And before Lone or someone shows up, I know I draw like a "noob retard" or whatever you're gonna say. The maps aren't supposed to be art. EDIT OVER*

Thought I should finally update the thread and let everyone know that the Empire has officially collapsed. I'm still working on the city with anyone already there who wants to help, but all the conquering and recruiting is over.

This is because none of that stuff actually had any lasting positive effect on the output of my team. Over 90% of the noobs I recruiting were totally useless or traitors. (Also mostly children I think.) Most of the ones who turned out to be somewhat useful were actually just alts of more experienced players. iQuint is, I think, possibly the only actually new person who joined who was actually useful, because he built some cool redstone stuff. Deflow is the only person who built anything architecturally impressive that wasn't just a small house or bridge. Other people have done helpful stuff, like making nice looking small houses for themselves, organizing the storeroom, collecting materials, and other helpful but fairly small things. It's nice to have people but the amount of actual work I can get out of someone is usually nowhere near the amount of work it takes me to live near spawn and recruit a bunch of people, considering the amount who drop out, betray me, or are just generally immature and useless.

So now we're not an Empire, Republic, City-State, or anything, barely even a team. I think the best classification is just a "base". Pretending to be a country is just not worth the effort. Maybe I'll start it up again next summer or something if I have the spare time.

You were actually trying to be a country?
