    Project Principium

    What is this?
    Principium means beginning or start in latin. The idea of this project to provide new players with well.... a place to start. Constantly I see new players sit, trapped at spawn awaiting for somebody to answer their calls for a new home. Many are left unanswered and so they leave the server in frustration. Project Principium (Project P for short), is here to fix that.

    Location:
    /warp p
    [​IMG]
    This land was too good to destroy so we decided to simply integrate the apartment rooms into the mountain itself giving it a natural feel. The lake was actually man made thanks to S&S Construction who also played a huge role in pretty much everything involved in this town. @Aqua_Luna3 also gave huge help assisting with basically everything as well. @BuildsByGideon was the designer for the 2 bridges.
    The official town thread can be found here:

    https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/warp-p-official-town-thread.146404/

    What we offer:
    We offer basically free rooms for all builders. In every room, we will have a setup "care package" which will contain a set of armour, tools, coal for furnaces, and food. Some rooms will cost however that is simply because of the size and view you get with it, but all prices are kept reasonable are easily obtainable. The most important thing that we added is a separate tutorial room which is located on the right when you first warp in. This includes all the basic commands, rules, info, and all the basic essentials that a builder would need to know to get started on ECC :). We have also built and entire 200x200 2 layer farm underneath the ground that includes all the basic crops (cocoa, carrots, wheat, potato, nether wart, sugar cane, pumpkin, and 1 row of melon). There is also a small fishing hut but the most important thing that we offer is guidance.

    Future plans:
    For future plans, we plan to hopefully be able to add quite a few more perks. This includes a PvP arena, mcmmo trainer with a heal sign, acrobatics trainer, a mining world portal, perhaps even a zoo including all the animals on ECC, etc.

    How you can help:
    The main way you can help is to simply direct any builders you see looking for plots in our direction. You can contact either myself, one of our co-mayors (@Aqua_Luna3, @Silentshot90, @_Smokin, @drowninginpizza @_NIAGARA_, @MollyZhu) or if none of us are online, you can simply direct them to this thread :). All donations are welcome as well, as you can see we have high hopes for this place and have a ton planned for the future. If you wish to make any sort of donation (could use some plain diamond pickaxe's atm, running low), please contact myself, @THCOOL. As of right now, we are fine on the amount of co-mayors that we have, however, in the future if something happens and things get too hectic, we may look for some help so keep an eye open for that (I will update thread if we are looking for any co-mayors).



    Donations/Helpers:

    • @_Smokin and @Silentshot90 at S&S Construction for filling the man-made river, clearing/placing the 200x200 farm, hollowing out the mountain, layering out the rooms and tunnels, and for the amazing pictures of the town.
    • @Aqua_Luna3 for helping build all the rooms, clear/place the 200x200 farm, and writing all of the tutorial signs. Also for donating the full $75,000 for the town warp!
    • @DrowningInPizza for donating 8 full double chests of donated armour/tools for this project.
    • @BuildsByGideon for designing the 2 bridges connecting the mountain to the mainland.
    • @SirSpuzzy for donating $5,000. This cash will be used to purchase more diamond armor sets for new residents.
    • @LJKAzrael for donating 7 diamond picks, 4 diamond shovels, 7 diamond axes, 1 pair of diamond boots, and free e-reps for all residents of the town.
    • @Mission001 for donating 5 Diamond swords, hoe's, axes, shovels, pickaxe's, shears, a set of diamond armour, 3 stacks of cookies, steak, pork chop, and 7 stacks of torches.
    • @legotom001 for donating diamond axes for the next few weeks.
    • @Chernoknizhnik for donating 13 diamond pickaxe's, 4 axes, 3 diamond shovels, 7 diamond helmets, 10 diamond chestplates, 8 diamond leggings, and 7 diamond boots.
    • @MollyZhu for donating $1,000. This cash was used to purchase glowstone for some renovation around the town.
    • @fenolix for donating his town of 'spidchunga1000'. This town will be used to sell open plots to any builders who wish to build.
    • @WARPAINT56 for donating an entire double chest full of diamond tools and armour.
    Thanks to all the past, current, and future donators/helpers and for everyone for taking the time to read this thread :thumbsup:

    Oooo that's what the bridges are for. I was 'mirin it before, it looks really great good call on keeping the mountain @THCOOL. And it sounds like an amazing project. Can't wait to see it in full swing. I'm especially impressed because this is the kind of thing I'd expect a moderator to want to try to do but haven't seen on this scale. Makes your job easier really.

    Update:

    We have added a 9 members to the town since the launch of this project just a few days ago. Bad news is that we've had to evict 1 user for griefing AND not replanting, and another user's grief was so bad that they were actually the temp-banned and then obviously kicked from the town. Our entire cocoa field (over 9k) has been griefed/stolen as well as some other crops on the farm. Town will have to be closed until we've collected enough cocoa/crops to replant everything. Its shame, the users seemed so friendly as well :(. Will update once town has re-opened

    Its a shame people don't appreciate the fact that people are helping them, and they grief when the owners back is turned. Maybe you should remind them that griefing is bannable, @THCOOL, as some servers do allow grief and they may not be clear on rules

    We have a mini tutorial setup within the town which we make ALL new residents read before we even show them the rooms. In here its included that griefing is a serious offense. It also states in both the town AND farm rules to not grief and to replace anything you break. This was clearly not a mistake, this was intentional.


    Anyway though, I am pleased to announce that Project P is back open! Thanks for @7263cameron for selling us the cocoa beans at server price. Also thanks to @spider_hunter5 and @GMaxx for planting some of those beans. And finally thanks to @Aqua_Luna3 for purchasing those beans and helping plant as well!​

    Thank you,
    @SirSpuzzy for donating $5,000! This money was immediately used to purchase diamonds that were used to craft some more armour that is included in our "care package" for new players upon joining.​

    While we were able to get a few more full sets of armour, at the rate we're going right now, it will be all gone within the next few days. If you have any non-enchanted diamond tools or armour lying around, we ask that you please donate. Donations of all kinds including cash are accepted and WILL be used effectively and updated on this very thread. We thank you in advance for your generosity :thumbsup:

    I have some things I can donate. Pm me ingame. I have a few suggestions that may help cut operating costs.

    Thank you,
    @LJKAzrael for donating 7 diamond picks, 4 diamond shovels, 7 diamond axes, and 1 pair of diamond boots. This is much appreciated :). He has also offered to give free enchanted repairs for all residents of this town. Our next mini-project is to setup an e-repair room next to the farm, so this will definitely help and come in handy, thanks again!​

    If you would like, for the next few weeks I plan to have a lot of mostly used up diamond axes, not sure if you would want them for the care packages though.


    Edit: For got to add, I like the idea of doing this. Also nice to see people trying to help out new players on the server.

    Edit 2: Not sure if you include bows or fishing rods in your care packages, but I just saw I have a lot of string sitting around if you would like some.

    :p
    Thank you! Just a quick normal repair and they would be good as new... Yes wed certainly accept them. We currently do not have bows/rods in the care package. We have a small fishing hut in which we sell cheap rods but other than that, we do not provide bows/rods. However, that could change though if we get a large quantity of them through donations :p. I can setup a chest right beside /warp p and simply /cmodify you to if, that way you can add to it over time even when im not online. Would this work?

    That would work with me, though for the string I probably won't be getting more than the first round of what I donate, but the axes should come in at around 6 per day for the next few weeks if I keep using them at my current rate.
