    President

    Please post some of your previous builds in a spoiler here.

    Grimoire
    Air

    Utopia (this is a archive town, in order to view this, you must have /tpc)
    Building Business (Contains some more info and pictures of builds that are all on archive. This is my earlier work though so you can see how my style has changed haha)

    What are you currently working on:
    I've just completed an expansion to /warp air and I'm returning to work on a spawn town build of /warp nymeria. This town is going to be designed as a fantasy forest with ruins scattered around. I want to try to become skilled in terraforming and I'll be making sure that every inch of this town is detailed :D. I've currently only finished the river, but you can get a small idea of what I wish to accomplish.

    Aside from Nymeria, I have plans on creating a gothic-french fortress, inspired from DukeOnRed1 (youtuber). Using my skills gained from terraforming Nymeria and fortress building from Grimoire, I want to branch out and try to build a realistic medieval setting; what I'm picturing is a fortress in the center with a small village off to one side. The rest of the area will be farmland/nature.

    I usually try to make builds that the community will enjoy and actually 'use' so I'll need to come up with something fancy for that :rolleyes:


    How would you use 100k to advance your build:

    100% of my money in game always goes into my builds, either directly or indirectly. I usually try to conserve my money for 'desperate times' since I would only ever make money by selling off portions of my build- this usually happens once every couple months (but thanks to Air, i have a semi-occasional income, albeit small but everything helps :D).

    I would use the 100k not for Nymeria, but instead for my following build- the realistic french-gothic castle. I'm expecting it to take up a variety of materials that I can't possibly gather on my own, so hopefully I'll be able to purchase chunks of it.


    Anything else:

    I appreciate the assistance you're giving to builders, I always enjoy seeing some crazy builds out there and with some financial assistance, some aspiring creators will poke through!

    Quick question: do you want screenshots only or are you fine with warps/town names?

    Edit: Laggy didn't post screenshots, so Im going to assume it's fine if I post warps and coords

    Please post some of your previous builds in a spoiler here.
    This is going to be a long list lol
    Main server:
    - /warp Cydonia (entire town)
    - /warp ECCMuseum (entire town so far)
    - Canterlot (there is no warp, but the best place to warp is cords 7922 99 10407). This is a WIP, multi-town project that is almost two years old, so expect to explore a lot.
    Other towns in Canterlot:
    - CanterCastle
    - CanterAir
    - Cantl_welcome
    - Cantl_formal
    - Cantl_gate
    - Cantl_harmony
    - Cantl_living
    - Cantl_maze
    - Cantl_raceway
    - Cantl_stands
    - Cantl_tavern
    - Cantl_station
    - Cantl_terrace
    - Cantl_theatre​
    - /warp plots (the warp building)
    - /warp Glasgow (The casino [just learned the quartz was removed, so I'll see if I can find a screenshot])
    - /warp Vienna (The AAUB building. Coords for tp are 67 69 792)

    Archive
    - /warp ECCMuseum (the entire island)
    - /warp glistengold
    - The entire town of Ironwood (No warp. Good /tpc is 13235 68 -5423 in the Legacy world)
    - /warp coco (The three floating islands)
    - /warp L5
    - /warp platinum

    The largest MLP server of all time (can't say the IP or server name, despite it being shut down)
    - My main project on that server can be found here:
    https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/introducing-project-brohoof.171457/#post-952020
    As for what I built, I did basically the entire Fallout Equestria section. I built Stable 02 and Tenpony Tower basically myself. The rest I took builds that I didn't necessarly build, but edited to look post-apocalyptic

    - I also worked on other towns from the MLP universe. The link below has images from the three biggest projects: Ponyville, Canterlot (the same one as the ECC version is based on), and The Crystal Empire. I can't really pinpoint which specific builds were made by just me only, but I did do significant work on all three of them with a build team.
    https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/jdawgers-build-projects-2019-2020-thread.192315/#post-1045619

    I have others too, but they are not ready to be shared yet ;P


    What are you currently working on:
    Well, I'm mostly doing the Scav hunt/taking a minor break from ECC building, but my current projects are The ECCMuseum (which is in the process of expanding) and Canterlot.


    How would you use 100k to advance your build:
    Well, multiple ways.

    First off, I need a lot (and I mean at least two dchests) of gold blocks for Canterlot. Basically, any part of the build that has netherrack currently will be replaced with gold blocks eventually.

    Also, Canterlot always needs dchests of specific colors of wool. This isn't too much of a bank breaker since wool prices went down drastically over the past half year (it used to be $10 a block average). While there are shops that stock for cheap, they run out fast, so I need to rely on the colorshop (the one that requires nstars), so the money will also go towards purchasing some stars to exchange for wool.

    While this next point isn't for building specific, it does relate to a build. A good amount of my money has been used to buy unique and lored items for ECCMuseum. This money will help me to not diverge any funds that I previously allocated towards building.

    And finally, and probably the biggest way this money will help, is I have two future projects under mine, @Iamjustapony , and @VelvetRemedy 's joint build project called Project: Brohoof (this is the same project that Canterlot is under). These projects require a lot of towns, and they can be hard to come by/expensive once you have a lot of them. These projects are (in addition to the rough amount of towns needed): Ponyville + the Sweet Apple Acres expansion (over 20 towns), and The Crystal Empire (Think we need at least 8 for this one. I haven't actually zoned it yet)


    Anything else:
    Thank you so much for doing this! Many people don't know the expenses that go into projects, especially large scale ones. Best of luck to my fellow peers who apply for this as they equally deserve this as well.

    Also, I want to tag @Videowiz92 and @LaggyTryHard (even thought he already applied I believe) since they should apply for this as well.

    3 Statues

    @RaginDevonian 's spawn shop

    @TheFreezen 's home

    @khrones Fish hut

    2020 Easter Build (won 2nd place) *can view at /warp zalem on Main*:

    What are you currently working on:
    Besides the scavenger hunt, a casino I'm working on with @TaylorBros22 and also within next week a dragon statue in @HelenDKN's town.

    How would you use 100k to advance your build:

    I would use most of it for building the rest of the casino (especially the outside areas), and the rest towards building the dragon statue. I love building with quartz lol so some would go for purchasing that for sure, as well.

    Anything else:
    Super neat idea Zee :)

    What are you currently working on: My town, it is how I imagined Winterfell to look when I was reading it. I plan to buy towns around it to expand and build all of Westeros (and possibly the other continents of Essos and Sothoryos).
    How would you use 100k to advance your build: The next thing I need to build is a grand hall, it will probably include quartz and expensive materials
    Anything else: This is my first big project of any kind so it would be nice to have a bit more money to experiment

    At the moment I am working on a city made of the polished rock variants. I have only completed one tower.
    The 100k would help boost my road to 1mil which will help me get the feats that people would sell you a msword with. The msword would be used to grind for money to buy materials for my city.
    Pm me on main to come and see progress if needed

    /Warp Zeeland has some stuff on it but is still very much a work in progress
    I also was in the works of building a 400x200 farm on the archive before the reset (probrofarm)

    What are you currently working on:
    I am working on building up my town in order to offer builders a place to live for free (warp zeeland). I am in the process of building a 75x75 public crop farm (wheat, beets, carrots, potatoes, nether warts, sugar cane, etc.) for all the residents to use and I will be building a shopping mall where builders will be able to sell items without having to pay rent. I plan to expand my town and build a 200x600 melon/pumpkin farm underground that will also be free of charge so that builders can have an easier time earning money and getting the ranks they need.

    How would you use 100k to advance your build:
    I would use it to buy more blocks (concrete and sea lanterns) that I plan to build my mall out of as well as some blocks to finish my farm. It will also help me save up for an eff7 so that I can clear out the massive 600x200 area under my town where I will put the farm.

    Anything else:
    This is a great event and I wish everyone luck on their builds!

    /warp coin on MN is the only big thing I have finished so far. Just a casino. I mainly did the 2nd and 3rd level of it.
    What are you currently working on:
    I'm working on my town Ash. It is a 400x400 town that I plan on doing a ton in. I am currently working on replacing every single visible block and replacing it with concrete. The town is being used to create a community with a ton of stuff. from a massive melon farm (hidden so its not ugly) to shop stations for all town members, a casino, bank, vaults, and much more.
    If you want to check what I have done so far the warp is /warp ash on main. I also have a forum post that explains everything I'm working on.
    https://tinyurl.com/ash-member-application

    How would you use 100k to advance your build:
    For building materials most likely. I like things to look nice and I mainly build-out of quartz and such.
    Anything else:
    All of the town amenities(shops, farms, etc) are free and I spend about 10 hours a day building in it, so I don't end up making a lot of money.
