Let's go to the library.

In Elossia, I like to keep everything close together, for a simple reason. One cool structure is awesome, but two cool structures is epic. Throw in more, and it just keeps getting better. Spreading out just isn't something I like to do. The problem with not spreading out though, is that very quickly, resources run out.

My solution to this, was to cheat. No, I'm not going to build a diamond castle with golden towers (hmm, maybe I should..). What my ops and I would do, is when we build structures focused on infrastructure (roads, parks, or public buildings), we build it out of full stacks of materials. When we are done, we put all of the remains into a public library.
This library would be a public building for sharing and trading of resources. Ops would not be the only ones putting materials in. In fact, I hope the normal players mange to make up at least 50-70% of the incoming materials. Ops would only be there to make up for ever decreasing natural resources, and to maintain the stock.
The interior is littered with chests, and everything is sorted into them. Each item or group of items has it's own chest. There are twelve chests in the center, six under the windows, and four under the stairs. This allows for a total of 18 chests per floor, plus the four extra under the stairs on the first floor. Oh yes, we will be adding more floors as we need them.
Now you may be wondering, "Riko, wouldn't people just take supplies whenever they want, and not put any in themselves?"
My answer would be yes. Some people would. Those people are called douchebags. I plan on making this library into a two way street of sharing. Players who take and take and never give, will probably be removed from the server.

Well that was my project for the day. My friend Draxxon helped build what we have so far.

The beginning.

All things have a beginning, and this is another one. Welcome to The Kingdom of Elossia, a blog detailing my escapades in Minecraft. Occasionally I might do something on another game, or life. It depends on what I am doing at the moment.

The Kingdom of Elossia is named after my most recent project in Minecraft, a wall large enough to surround an entire kingdom. The wall itself is named The Wall of Kelech-mor. The land it will eventually surround is named Elossia. The kingdom's current residents include myself (DarthRiko), my good friend Nathan (Draxxon), and Nathan's friend whom I have forgotten the name of at the moment.

Well I believe this is a suitable intro to my new blog. Eventually, I would like to briefly list my previous notable creations, talk about my favorite mods, and maybe comment on various Minecraft merchandise.
