    Hello, ECC.
    Whether you know me or not, you realize that every one of us has dream that we each thrive for everyday.
    I have had a dream, ever since i joined to built one of the coolest towns ever, and my idea was to make a
    GIANT FLYING TURTLE CITY. Spending hours of watching YouTube videos/trying to build my own, i came across a design i love, then modified it. Now that i have president, and the able hood to purchase more protected town, i think that it is time to put my dream to life.
    UPDATE on the turtle shell (living area)
    Quoted from my new post,
    I think that it is best to show you guys the images first, while explaining my plans in every pic to have a visual aspect.
    TURTLE ITSELF

    PVP ARENA (will add run-down buildings in centre)
    Will change iron blocks to planks

    I hope that you enjoyed my turtle/my plans to make it a fun town.

    SO, HOCKEY, YOUR BEGGING FOR DONATIONS?

    Now, i full-heartly believe that begging for money is never the answer, as many other people would agree. However, i am asking for donations, but only because the cost is so high, that i alone can never collect such a huge sum at a time, and i am still going to put in my own mountain-moving efforts into making this. Finally, the donations is NOT just for me, but to give ECC and everyone else a great town to look up to and challenge future users top build/create better ideas.

    I LOVE THE IDEA, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONATED?

    Here is an approx. list of money we need/what for.
    100,000--Town to protect the turtle -done :D
    40,000---PVP Arena
    1,000,000---For purchasing materials
    25,000---World edit Cost---ENOUGH MONEY COLLECTED
    50,000---Farms Cost ENOUGH MONEY COLLECTED
    50,000--Portal Cost Changed to a Town-Town Portals
    All numbers are a apprx amount.

    AMAZING ILL DONATE, HOW DO I?

    Just pm in-game, and just pay me there.

    WHAT DO I GET FROM DONATING?

    You get a HUGE amount of praise/mention in the turtle/you join Hockey's BFF List

    WELL, I STILL HAVENT HEARD ANY PLANS ABOUT PLOTS AND FARMS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT

    Well my plan for the farm is, for UNDER the turtle i will have a 100X100 farm of all 4 kinds (pumpkin, wheat melon, sugarcane)
    For Buildings i will be selling them in 4 different catagories
    1.Small Rooms
    2.Regular Rooms
    3.V.I.P Rooms
    4.Special Rooms
    5.Hotel Apartments
    PRICES ARE NOT YET DETERMINED

    AMAZING, GOOD LUCK HOCKEY!​


    Thanks, i hope that ECC donates also, to help this build this amazing town :D

    this looks awesome. Sorry, but I would donate if I wasn't going for mayor. Once I get mayor and I have some left, Ill deffinately donate :D

    **EDIT** I am at $54,086 so far, thx to nradke and him buying my 65 diamond blocks :D

    ***EDIT #2*** I should have enough soon as I am making a private 200x200 pumpkin farm which should bring in good money, so I can get mayor faster, then I can donate faster :D :D :D

    the 4 million is an EXTREME case scenario/rough estimate, and i doubt we need that much
    Were planning to build the farm first to help fund the turtle

    Okay, me and my partner, Theory5, are estimating that if we do finish the turtle in less than a month (my goal) we need at least 5 people to complete this project.
    The building team so far is
    -myself
    -theory5
    -coobadiver
    - possibly @scottyang1323

    If you would like to help this project, pm me. Pay will be 50K if you choose to get pay.

    I have a tiny bit leftover from mayor so i might b able to donate like 1k.
    But if you need glowstone or something then i have plenty i can give you.
    Just pm me if you need something. Odds are i have it because i hoard REALLY badly.
    I can also help build a little if you would like.

    Thanks, grah, every bit helps.
    What we really need is yellow and lime green wool. They are expensive in bulk (1 each) and are the only item massively needed that is not available at the spawn shop for a bulk set for a good price. E.G.(2k wood for 400)
    For the building, we need people that will be dedicated to the project, so if you think you are, pm me

    I need money right now so I can not donate money. But I have chests full of unneeded crap and will gladly donate. There are moments me and my friend(s) are super bored and need something to do. In those moments we may volunteer to help build the turtle, for free, or, if we desperately need money, we'll do it at a very low cost (at least 80% off average hiring price) :D
