__________________________________________________________________________________​
In the year A.D. 1216, war was terribly rampant. The Mongol Horde were rampaging through Asia and started to spread over to Europe. When a brave group of Knights were needed, The Knights of Bloodstone were formed. In the dull, misty hills of southern Greece, a castle was constructed: Castle Bloodstone. Led by the fearless duo of Abalkir I and Zel I, the Knights of Bloodstone rushed to defend Europe from the invading hordes. Ghengis Khan knew that even he could not defeat the legendary guild in combat, and thus declined and started to build his empire in Mongolia. To this current day, the descendants of the first Knights have stayed in the region, fighting off the masses of Creepers, Enderman and whatnot in order to stop the evil tyranny of Lord Herobrine. Nowadays, a town has sprung up near the Castle, governed by the latest descendants of Abalkir and Zel I. Although the raiders from other nations have, unfortunately, sacked the great Castle, the strong, new KoB is rapidly expanding and is rebuilding. As time passed, the new Knights opened up shops, hopefully attracting the likes of nobility from other nations. The KoB soon shall dominate all of Europe with their new Airship technology thanks to our lovely Scientist, Aperson, and will campaign for justice, honor, and Eidar Cheese Wheels! With the rise of technology, the KoB are better equipped to fight Herobrine's vampiric succubi.

Why your town should be official:
We are a rather large town, and forever growing. It would be nice, as then we would be able to know for certain who is, and isn't in KoB. Which can be quite a problem when we don't know. Not to mention, Abalkir, I, and our ever-growing knights have put a lot of effort into this town, and it's quite fair to say, that's it's looking good. It has yet to be finished, and we're only about 1/4th done on the main buildings. However, I can guarantee you that we will not give up until it's at it's finest. Even when it is, we refuse to stand down. KoB was originally created by Abal, iiDeath, Hockeyfan, Chris360kss, and Shadova. We had 3 of the 5 original members leave, and a whole slew of new knights joining after that. Like previously stated, we really would like to be a town to put ourselves on the map and defend the good people of Europe (or whatever the heck this continent we live on is called) from Herobrine's vampiric thralls and succubi. (And also feast on Eidar Cheese; I hear those Khajiit holed up near Carthage are smuggling a few tons in from Elsweyr.)

The people involved in this town are certainly active, I tend to see a lot of them online.
Having said that, I feel the town is lacking at the moment, it seems a bit of a mish mash, some buildings looked planned and have a style, others are drastically different and just slopped together and covered in 500 heads.

He will get to it eventually he was at the meeting, and if it possible to add chest protection to my town near by we would be grateful.
Personally, I think you should NOT be granted chest protection.
The two "towns" are close, but not close enough in my opinion, perhaps with more buildings and stuff between the two "towns" then they could be described as one town, and as a result have chest protection over the whole area. But the fact that you describe it as your TOWN. Makes me think that you should have to apply for it seperately.


Overall, I think your town has applied too early, there are a lot of things that need work in my opinion.

Alka, we've been raided many times. Sneaky people with invisibility potions have gotten us many times, and some of us are more careful than others. I believe we should get chest protection because basically every other town so far has it, so why shouldn't we? It would detriment the uniformity of the town system, in my honest opinion. I don't think you've been to the town and seen the work we've really put into it.(If you have please correct me.) It's a mish mash because we really had a large variety of materials, and we used what we had. From my standpoint It's good, but we do plan on expanding it. The two towns really are one, but they're separate because they originally were, but that's all just for classification. We're all one big town.

My comment on the chest protection was purely on Hockeyfan1852's area, not the main town.
As both from the livemap and when I visited this area before replying to this application there appeared to be a reasonable distance between the two areas.


EDIT: To clarify, I'm not AGAINST this becoming an official town. I just think that you guys applied too early, with still a lot of work to do. Obviously having some work and expansion is great, but you've just got a lot of work.

I'l have to agree with Alka on this, a few houses in the town are well made and looks good, a few are just box-like and not following the same theme as the rest. You have floating roads heading to different parts of the town, and in general, it doesn't look like you are finished with the majority of the town!
Now this might be to due to early stages of your town, but if so, i think you should wait until you have a more clear theme and finished a few more buildings in the town, applying as it is now, is a bit early.

And for Hockey's town, i agree with Alka that it's too far away to be a part of the town, at least until you start making buildings between the two areas. What you have now is just a road between the two places.
Cheers, and good luck!

When you look at a real town, I don't see houses all looking the same :x Thats why my houses/stores are different.
But still following the theme of olden times. :x
Just my 2 cents c:

I don't mind having chest protection for the 2nd town. Though I can agree that a few of the builds need work and are not finished yet but we are working on them. I was trying to fill the space in between the town as well as DarkHender and a few others. We had only about 1-2 days to do it and there will be improvements on the way.
I don't think it's fair that you're judging us on our builds. Do that all you want on Buildbox, but this is SMP, where you don't have infinite resources and time to make builds look good while worrying about dying all the time.
Its a town there not judging you on how much is in your chests.

But they are judging on our building skills. Which In my opinion is wrong.
Just adding - as a town, what are the staff going to judge you on? The amount of active players this early can speak for itself so you have to accept constructive (heh) critism sometimes, and I do have to agree I think it could use a bit more improvement on the building side. Good luck with improving the town though, everyone!

Well I think it's more demeaning and destructive from my warped internet translating...

But yeah, guess we can work on it. But really, I do think we have lots of details. I mean, look at my ship and Ape's Airship. Trust me, give us the town and we'll knock your socks off. (Even though the Mythbusters did bust that one...)

That's like approving a "town" that is all composed of 4x4x4 dirt huts. So I think aesthetics and organization is a must :p

Anywho, I passed by the town and gave it a look. Most of the homes seems a bit slapdash in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, but other homes are builtnicely. Though, I too think that the builds are a bit rushed and the ambition to become a town.

Actually, We weren't really rushing at all. (At least not from my pov.)
If you want to talk about the slapdashed buildings, talk to the other KoB members who built those. I guess that you guys should also take a look at the thought and backstory and basis of the town, because what's the point of having a town if you don't have a foundation of what you want it to become?

I cannot believe that one needs to argue about staff opinion. Staff has the right to judge you on finished buildings and/or a theme in it. Though we find organisation and dedication one of the most important things.

Don't get me wrong, but I have more the feeling this is some kind of chest protection application, instead of a town application. As well, talking about organisation, I somehow have the feeling with this kind of sayings "if you want to talk about the slapdashed buildings, talk to the other KoB members who built those." that you aren't all co-operating as one town.

Don't worry, it is not declined or anything, but I want some more indepth information about the organisation and members, before accepting this. If you start to argue again on the application, I sadly will decline the application, because that is not that way we want to see town applications go. There is always free time and space for more opinions, but this is just kind feedback of our staff, and I personally find that you can at least accept/appreciate their feedback.
