>-Want money? Harvest wood and saplings in Volkstadt. We need XP badly and saplings are the main obstacle to this

Why not buy from Cian, big guy?

Alright, I'm going back to school this weekend, that means I won't be around for a bit (don/t worry, I have no life in school either, I'll be back next week). In the meantime, I figure I should leave a statement about my department.

1. H2guilio has done a bit of work for me in the tunnels, but hasn't gotten payment. If anybody sees him and he wants to be paid, he's not trying to jew you.

2. To those wishing to earn money, keep getting me nether brick by the DC and finishing the HH-Wulfkhaine tunnel

3. HH station needs more renovation due to the CIC and Wulfkhaine rails being cut off by a wall. T-Thanks Eisen_Jaeger. If you are interested, contact me when I get back or Immer if he wants to get involved in that mess.

4. When I get back, I will be implimenting a mapping project. Anybody with Journeymap or voxelmap who wants to participate, be ready, because we're making an accurate map of all of Chanada.

5. Next big rail project is the rail to the Rocktagon and the Rocktagon-Nether Portal rail. Volkstadt-Nether Portal is also on the table, but unless immer or camo say that that should be the priority, I won't make it one. I want the current rail network to be done before we start adding express tracks to the current system. (Which actually brings up a good point: why not just add a second set of tracks in the existing tunnel that just bypass the stations...)

6. Pecheur/Maryx, just get your rail to Wulfkhaine station, I can add it into the spaghetti rails hopefully. If I can't, this would be the first time I've met my match.

>I'll be back by next week

You'll be dead by next week. You can't stop the September happening.

I got 20 stacks of bricks at the Volks Community Exchange up for sale, 1d for 2stacks.

I will also mine some more tomorrow, if someone could add me to the netherbrick smelter at the NF I could produce even more.

I'm not dead yet!

Good shit

All non-armed /Pol/ynesians are advised to not use the nether for the time being, due to the chaotic circumstances surrounding the TB Crew, Mir, and the Celoxi-Crew. All of these groups of raiders are well-armed and dangerous and will not hesitate to pearl or kill innocent travelers. Check with the government of /Pol/ynesia before traveling in the nether and if you are carrying valuables, please ask for a military escort if at all possible.

If you have to use the nether and are confronted, DO NOT IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS CHANADIAN. Enemies of the confederation are out and about and they will target you. When in doubt, run to the nearest Chanadian portal. If that fails and you can fight and are armed and ready to do so, make sure you can win. If neither of these options are available (which to the people who this advisory is aimed at, they probably aren't), log off where the enemy can't see you to avoid log-boxxing.

PSA Nether Travel Advisory PSA

A few new rules are coming into force in Volkstadt:

1. All non-citizens are now restricted to one plot and this applies retroactively. No more owning a shop and a residential plot as a foreigner. If you don't like this, move back to Volkstadt.

2. All new plots owned by foreigners must meet the following criteria: contains a shop or they regularly play in the city or they play on an alt regularly in the city.

3. Every player who hasn't logged in for over two weeks or have quit (except Bob_Namg, Geheg, and Lucky) are being evicted from their houses. Hugo, Epicmaster, Sarahsbum, Bonkymnobols, this is your final warning.

4. All shops are now required to be valued in diamonds. Any shop that is still valued in iron, reichbux, emeralds, or other currencies no longer accepted will be evicted Wednesday the 21st and sold at auction this Saturday and Sunday to the highest bidder.

5. All shops that are not maintained for a week will be evicted and sold at auction from here on out. No more dead shops, no more inactive plots.

6. Just for the record, Tigen, Immer, and I have the final say over plots and buildings in Volkstadt. Anybody who builds in a weird spot can and will be evicted if you did not get permission first. Ask first, build second.

7. I am going to try to refocus population into the center of Volkstadt as much as I can through transferring plots and selling houses.

Houses being Sold:

Hugo's House: 5 diamonds (reduced price by 50% from normal)

Scheduled for Demolition:

Epicmaster

Shops Being Auctioned:

Rampantking's Tools and Armor; Logiwares (either put it in your first floor of your apartment or out it goes); The Aukfear Building

>>32038

can we get rid of this bunkhoussen thing too pls?

You know, the green clay build near the rail station.

Its griefed, uninhabitated and its spawning creepers all the time making the city a bit unsafe.

>>32042

Yes, I agree. I redid it a while ago, but it was never finished and was always too small. It never quite lived up to the same standards as the old bunkhouse did. I want to tear down and redo or even sell off the bank plot and I'm taking suggestions for what to do with the bunkhouse plot.

Alright, after much discussion and micromanagement autism with OutcastMephisto, he and I have come to an agreement on several policy changes that are coming into effect about land ownership in Volkstadt effective immediately. This map shows the new designations for property and pricing.

Red Outline: Center city. These plots are buyable for first-time citizens using time spent doing work. If you work hard, you can 'buy' land using that. If a metric is ever determined for work done, that will be how size is determined. At the moment, size of plots will simply be by my digression.

Blue Outlined: Prices are in diamonds and are being doubled to 4 blocks per 1d for citizens. Foreigners owning shops in the blue areas will have their land prices halved. All current foreigner-owned shops are grandfathered in, despite where they are.

Light Orange: Urban Renewal District. God only knows what we're doing with it, I'm open to suggestions, but I suspect it will become part of the red area.

Orange: No toucherino, castle hill buffer zone.

Lime Green Lines: No development past this point, even if it still follows existing rules.

Rules of Land

1. Any new plots must be adjacent to or across a road from existing plots. This rule is void in the red zone.

2. All plots must be approved by me and me directly.

3. If you think a road is necessary, ask me. If you want to build a road in an alleyway next to your building, that is okay, but it cannot extend past the end of your property unless I say it can.

Generally, I'm a very accessible person. I'm not a dick. I can and will grant exceptions if you make a good argument for it. The rules are bendable. But, these rules are intended to pull the emergency brake on Volkstadt's outward expansion, because the city is hollowing out. A solid 50% of the existing town is made up of empty government buildings, abandoned projects, unused shops, plots owned by foreigners, and plots owned by inactive and semi-active residents. That is coming to a stop. immer, Tigen, and I long ago agreed that the city should place priority on activity and usefulness, so it's time I revived that notion. If it's not historical and it's not useful, then out it goes. If that means leaving an empty space for a few weeks, so be it, newfriends will settle the blank spots as intended.

I'm going on vacation until next Wednesday, although it's not like I do anything useful, so who cares. In the extremely unlikely event that people actually need my direction on something, just ask immer, it's not like I don't run to him with every idea or project I have anyways.

You could just lay back a bit, I totally understand what you're saying since I too have not much time for myself atm, including civ.

I was uber active months ago when I was pretty much doing nothing, not going to uni and only working 10h a week, but I still enjoy coming here and chilling with you guys, since thats pretty much what its all about.

The people grinding like crazy are of huge importance to chanada, but I think even if you aren't able to partake in it, you're still damn useful, you know all about the server, people like you and you are an incentive for people to log in.

To really be a powerplayer here, you either have to be NEET or be self-employed/ have a job with either low hours or the ability to play while on work.

I think nobody would think less of you if you decided to take a step back, its something you have to do if real life calls.

>Whatever happen to "pass the legacy onto the next generation"

I already did. Outcast and I see eye to eye on literally almost every issue and he WAS the second generation, after mine.

As for my 'legacy', I never excessively cared about it. The fact is, the nation is immer's baby, not mine, if I had my way a LOT of things would have gone differently in /Pol/ynesia, for better or for worse. And while immer has always been willing to work with me and give my opinions weight, we have never seen eye to eye on the fundamental structure of /Pol/ynesian society, at almost any point. Outcast and I agree as often as immer and I disagreed. I don't resent anybody, especially immer, for what they think /Pol/ynesia should be. If anything, the fact that differing views exist allows the flexibility that /Pol/ynesia needs to survive, rather than restrict and kill it.

I always viewed activity as being the most important thing a player could give, because no matter how shitty they were, no matter how incompetent or annoying or wasteful or unproductive, at least they could be reformed and at least they could contribute to the national dialogue, in whatever small way they wish. Nobody sticks around just to be a total faggot and I'll take a player who is dedicated and active, but does approximately NOTHING over a group of people who log in to grind any day of the week. That has always been the difference between immer and I. He is willing to sacrifice the (no offense intended) Deathpath1's, even if they come on every day.

See, the thing that makes a good community is that it is fun. A community where people log on to grind or to piss away diamonds is not a community, it is a well oiled machine. And the immer I saw come into power over a dynamic community has been replaced by an immer who is, I think, very tired and who focuses mainly on the machine for many reasons, especially normie life. I, well, I never fit into a well oiled machine, did I. I was always "that guy", the black sheep, always the most likely trip and put my foot in my mouth. And it shows. Was I dynamic and did I add that to the community? Absolutely. But that's not what /Pol/ynesia is as much anymore and at this point I no longer care if that statement offends people or risks my position in /Pol/ynesia. I fucking disagree with the way recruitment and community have been handled and I will stand by that statement if I have to. My legacy, hopefully, is that people like OutcastMephisto, Gb, Sburc, and the remnants of my time will remember what I said and remember me as a powerful anchor. Who knows, maybe I'll become highly active and take a center role again.

>I think nobody would think less of you if you decided to take a step back, its something you have to do if real life calls.

Yeah, life for me is changing and quickly, my habits change as well, this server included.

A late night train pulls into the station. An old friend on the platform, wreathed in steam...

Alright, nignogs, I'm going to be more active again, although not 7 hours a day like I was. As such, I'll get some projects rolling in Volkstadt.

1. Evictions, property seizures, and demolitions are now in effect. If you don't like it, stop crying and log in once in a while.

2. Shilling will happen as soon as I can talk immer into doing it.

3. In keeping with my promises, I will start conducting time trials for harvesting certain plants and other materials, because reasons. For those who want a bit of pay, I will be making a larger post about this soon. Meowcoolcat, the cavalry has arrived.

4. Now Recruiting: /Pol/ynesia Panzers Hockey Team! Practices will be when convenient in the existing arena in Himmler Highlands, while the new arena is under construction in Volkstadt Center Station

5. Due to the pearling of OutcastMephisto, I will be picking up the slack and organizing projects around the Reich. For far too long have I sat by and let the community stagnate for lack of interesting things to do. It's about time I returned to my role.

>4. Now Recruiting: /Pol/ynesia Panzers Hockey Team! Practices will be when convenient in the existing arena in Himmler Highlands, while the new arena is under construction in Volkstadt Center Station.

Not going to be in the central station. It will be an outdoor open air stadium south of the city proper.

>5. Due to the pearling of OutcastMephisto, I will be picking up the slack and organizing projects around the Reich.

He's not pearled yah fucking dingus.

good to have you back.
