Hello friends!
Civcraft is for all intents and purposes a minecraft server, but it is much more than that. I would like to invite you to join me there. From the website:
"Civcraft is an experiment for communities, political ideologies, debate and discussion. Our backstory is based on history, not fiction. We’re forming a new direction for game-play, not just about surviving the elements, but about surviving each other, where players can work together to create and shape civilization or to watch it crumble. A world open to any idea, manifesto or philosophy, created by the players. We hope to push minecraft to it’s fullest potential in order to foster discussion, experimentation and community building. This is the great pastime and challenge of mankind: Civilization."
Sound fun/interesting to any of you? There are a few 4/8chan boards with established towns including /int/ and /v/. There's also a town founded by /pol/ which is, as one might suggest, headed by a fascist government.
I'm founding the city from /lit/ as it has a 4chan board and can otherwise fit into the general game world well. The /lit/izenry would be a proud people on Civcraft, known across the world for their intellect and wit, and for their grand ivory towers. Our library would surely be the most expansive and well stocked.
An interesting question this raises, also, is the question of governance. I'd suggest we democratically vote on what we consider to be the most effective form of government, and abide by the community's choice. In keeping with the culture of /lit/, political candidates ought to submit a written personal manifesto and list of aims. This will only be relevant, of course, if we decide on a hierarchically structured government. I for one like the idea of syndicalism.
Want to join me? Feel free to ask any questions you might have. The Civcraft project is hosted across reddit as well. Visit reddit.com/r/civcraft for the main page, and message me at Eeazt on reddit if you'd like to contribute to /lit/'s state.
We can call it /lit/huania or /lit/tle Rock or /lit/hea. Any other ideas?
Looking forward to speaking with you all!
