IDEAS FOR DIS - GREATEST NETHER PROJECT OF ALL TIME
---- POLITICS ----
We can do a system like this:
Intelli - President/Dictator
Admins - Vice Pres.
Mods - High officials
Aguy130 - Sexy Dude of Sexiness
Then there's the party representatives (NTC=Cannabin, Cogohst=Ceteri etc).
Each faction should have its own court, with major decisions in their party chats, then submitted to The High Senate (Admins and Mods) who will review it before passing it through to Intelli for official approval.
Factions would be allowed to interrupt others' social time, but not ther meetings.
---- ARCHITECTURE ----
Each faction branch would have a commercial "city" area on top, with a faction meeting room on the under-side.
The WHOLE city is suspended by fence poles - 4 for each faction platform, and 8 for the downtown.
Each faction platform will be 4 stories - 3 commercial, 1 political - and would probably be 35x35-40x40. Remember the center is 100x100, the city is 200x200 which is MASSIVE (1600x1600) in the overworld, but is a perfect fit for the nether. This leaves a 50 block wide space on the outside - 35-40 blocks wide platform (faction) and 10-15 blocks bridge.
Downtown Dis would be a large cylinder, perhaps 15-20 stories, and would provide a variety of stuff, like businesses with wider customer attraction, say a shop chain wants a branch in the Nether, well, they can take advantage of this heavily traveled zone. A "shopping mall"-esque layout would cover the bottom 10 stories, and each booth would be 10x10 and cost RC1000. Players/companies with multiple booths can link them after getting permission from a Mod. (Mods would be much more free by this time due to the Artificial Moderator(Help Bot), giving them time to approve structural changes.)
(This city would look like something out of Avatar with everything hanging.)
Then there would be the arena. With the city (and it's a pretty big city, mind you) hanging overhead, this should provide a really good mood for arena fights. This arena would either be a 50x50 circle or a 50x100 rectangle.
Around the arena, an area of grass for animal farming. Loads of animals should spawn due to its being the only grass in the Nether.
---- SUBURBS AND TRANSPORTATION ----
Under the city (above the arena) is the Core - a 2x2 stone column that goes straight up to the center of the downtown. This would have ladders on all sides, providing a route up to the main building. These would go STRAIGHT to the Nether Spawn Building, allowing new visitors to Dis to get a look at the rules first thing.
The Core is suspended from the ceiling - it "ends" just above the arena. At the bottom, a 6x6 square with 2 block wide bridges leading out in the 4 cardinal directions. These connect to the Nether roads.
It is possible that the Core's base could be bigger, allowing for minecart stops. This would provide quicker and safer transportation around the Nether, and would also boost Dis tourism.
There could be ways out of the city via the factions - but they only lead to the suburbs. This would include locals - people who want to live in Dis but can't afford it, instead being forced to camp outside in the griefing-prone wilderness of the Nether. There could also be more amenities in the suburbs.
---- CONSTRUCTION ----
Construction will commence at the beginning of 2012. Site inspection would have been completed between mid-November and late December.
Construction process:
Hollowing out the area - 3-4 days
Constructing roadways - 1-2 days
Core construction - <1 day
Meanwhile, the NTS (Nether Transportation System) would be established, with the Core (Dis) as the central hub. Dis transportation would be maintained by NTC.
February
Central district - 3 days
Faction Platforms - 3 days
Customer sales - 1-2 weeks
Furnishing - 3-4 days
OPENING : END OF FEBRUARY
*IMPORTANT MESSAGE*
For faction platform reservations, write [number][region name]. E.g. 3. NTC. We go in order from 1 to 12. At 12, all platform are full and no one else can sign up unless a faction disbands. SilsuCrow will then distribute the platforms accordingly.
I hope Silsu enjoys reading this. Sorry theres no TL;DR version.
