Fill my basket! Community Region Project.  (Taiwan, Province of China)
Modified By Sakai Openlife  on 6/11/2008 5:28:34 PM)

Fill My Basket!

 

OK.

 

We're looking at the new updated region code, and it appears we can effectively have the 'freebie' in operation now, and we have community regions... So, thinking about community regions how would this fly...

We use a community region cut it up, hand out portions that are assigned to volunteers and leave portions with anyone rez access.

The handed out portions are used for building paths, scenery etc etc.

The anyone build portions are used as 'freebie' lots, for pple to drop their creations there for anyone to 'take a copy'.

OK. There's probably a few flaws to this, but perhaps it would be a good start? Any ideas?

 

Throw ur 2 cents in or volunteer if this interests you. Ideally it would be good to have the region up and running with scenery inplace and freebie dropping going on within 2 weeks.

Will the volunteers have the ability to delete/return inappropriate stuff some clueless people will inevitably drop in those freebie areas?

Will there be a theme to those community regions so that we don't endup with disjointed and chaotic mish-mash of styles?

As soon as more than one resident occupy a space, you need some rules... human nature.

edit: Sorry if I sounded kinda harsh, not my intent. I'm all for volunteer work for those kind of projects, but success can only be obtained through planification...

Re: Fill my basket! Community Region Project.  (Taiwan, Province of China)

Well I gues the first things that need to be though out here are what kind of style should the region take on.

I was hoping to assign a region with a fairly unique terrain (ie far from flat).

Styles-> Was thinking something perhaps a little 'inner urban'/ 'semi industrial'.

Which is a genre we really don't see much of in the grid so far....

 

Any thoughts?

Re: Fill my basket! Community Region Project.  (United Kingdom)

I have time to give to a scheme like this. I'd love to take part, sounds good.

when i read 'inner urban' & 'semi-industrial'    I thought of Freebies.... and then thought of a Homeless shelter... in the midst of some ex-industrial complex

 

 

But then again... I have just consumed a few mugs of red wine.

Re: Fill my basket! Community Region Project.  (United States)

I  own and have developed a cluster of SL Regions to varied success. I have found that "theme" does indeed work and is not only possible, but prove successful to divide a region into four interconnected segments of similar environment.

Assuming intercity, semi-industrial as the general theme, this concept could easily wrap an entire region in a spiral transformation beginning in the center with your low level industry, then winding outward to a more tranquil environment.

Once the infrastructure is decided, for example transportation, boundaries such as rivers, and segment focus,  the actual build would be most entertaining to watch as it developed from four various builders concept.

I think the idea is brilliant and so far, to the best of my knowledge, never  accomplished in a single region. I welcome the opportunity if I am a part of it or not.

Re: Fill my basket! Community Region Project.  (Taiwan, Province of China)

We have a region!

As you can see it was still quite early in the morning for me, the fog hadn't even lifted yet!

More information to follow soon.

Where is Pawpaw? West Coast inland by about 1 region. Only a couple regions from Borne.

More information to follow shortly.

Re: Fill my basket! Community Region Project.  (United Kingdom)

I still am interested.... Hoping for stable connection after these latest updates to free up some weekend building time....

I am around all this coming weekend, would be great to at least get some chit chat going in world on this. even if it's only a few folk

I guess folk will come more easily to a project that has begun... so Perhaps Sakai can lay the first Prim on a nice comunity concept build pretty soon?? hope so.

Regards

Blindboy
