Zulu Farm - A collaborative experiment

Discussion in 'Share Your EMC Creations' started by zulu9, Jan 31, 2012.

  1. maybe we can install color coded paths to the different shops from the current or old spawn.
    extending the roof is not really an option as it would ruin the farm like view of the surface area.
    with the current layout I think signs alone won't work to avoid confusion but color coded paths might
  2. Good idea with the color coded paths. I think we first need to work on the wool tunnel, since it is quite dated and doesn't really server a purpose now other than blocking view.
  3. Ey zulu I'm Having trouble building my stuff in my special place other people's creations are gettung in my way. :rolleyes:
  4. which creations? depening on what is we might be able to move it
  5. Well It is my secret project so i can't really tell you. :oops:
  6. Oh zulu gambling is banned from EMC so we gotta take it down so i just put some signs up
  7. I heard it is unbanned if you follow the rules. checking it out now
  8. I think I already made sure the game was to standards put putting up the last required sign, last night.

  9. Read the ne rules now. We already did 99% of it.
    I think the only thing we did not do already was the "no guarantee of winning"* sign. We got that now
    too. I am really happy to see the rules reflect what we already did on our lot :)

    (The "no guarantee of winning" sign I think it a weird rule anyway. Who would assume such a thing at a casino? :confused:
    But well, 1 more sign won't hurt and in general the ruleset is fair and will hopefully improve the quality of the games and reduce scamming.)
  10. One thing we might to do on our special case here make a list of people that are
    authorized to run the casino. Maybe a "staff list" sign. Problem would be that there are people building etc but not running the casino who could in theory change the "staff list" sign. We might just put it somewhere on the forums too
    so people can double check. Any other ideas on how to make sure only people who should run the games do run them on a community kind of lot like ours?
  11. Cool! I put some more signs up including a one to use local chat and ask for staff right at the casino entrance.
    Also I found a lever with no apparent function. (Who put it there and why? ;) )- I used it now for a sign if the game is operative. The two states are "NO" and "YES, pls ask for staff".
  12. I agree. Also now I think we could think of ways to extend the area of the original spawn. As long as we use a lot of glass
    so people can still see the animal pits I am fine with it. So let's talk about ideas how to do it here before we mess stuff up :D
  13. I'll have to stop by and check this out! :)
  14. So the bowling does not seem possible. We will try to build the "pawn shop" there then.
    I will explain the idea later after testing it out a bit. The area I am talking about is below the
    restaurant, next to the pool.

    Thanks again to all you awesome people working there and exchanging ideas!
  15. You are always welcome. If one of the contributors is on they will give you the full tour. Some (most) of the stuff
    is still in testing and will only work if you got flags or staff to open doors and such.
    Of couse you can always look around without staff out flags. There is plenty to see that way too :)
  16. I just got another lot on smp3 and am thinking of renting out shop space and making it the main shop that way Zulu's place isn't so chaotic and it should get more visitors because of where its located and i could use some ideas on how to rent the shop space all i have so far is that ill have to be on, give them perms to build sign, and then remove perms and id want someone there to supervise them
  17. I like the idea. I want to keep some shops at my place but having some kind of franchise can't hurt. I like the chaotic way my lot is. But esp for the more valuable items a lot in a real good spot would be great.
    How will you sort it? Will it be rooms based on sellers or items?
    I'd vote for by item but that might be a problem if more than one person wants to sell that kind of item.
  18. News:
    * Pawnshop moved downstairs and is now open. Also uriel155 got some nice brewery there.

    * We had a small fire due to some lava thing somebody build. Uriel155 put it out (THANKS!) and I repaired
    the damage to the farmshop and coaster. DangerousPopcorn's flower art got some damage too but nothing too bad.
    Who built the lava thing? It seems safe now and I am not mad. But please just be careful with lava or fire.

    * The main level of the archery / shooting range is complete. The training / viewing area still needs some decorations. I will do that soon.

    * Next idea: A big tree house in the oak tree area. I would like to see some links to pictures / videos
    of nice treehouses to get some inspiration. Got any?

    That's it for now. Thanks to all customers, visitors, staff members and friends.
    We truly represent EMC SMP3 here :D
  19. i would have it sorted by item and it would just be a more competitive market with people selling so close together
