new house (real house, not lego) and move in.  Maybe things are a bit slow
here because people are building or just simply busy in their real life.
Let's stop roll calling and build instead!

Done ranting,
Josh


What did the roll call do origionally? nothing. it has served no purpose. my
hopes to keeping it going were that with a group mind, and knowing that there
are alot more castlers out there, we could get some inspiration and make a good
group project (see below.)
another good thing of the roll call is, look! see? its bringing castlerer
lurkers into light! its getting us more members!
I think we should keep the roll call going until we have the goal amount of
memebers.
the only reason the roll call didnt do anything is because we let it do
nothing. you said yourself, the MM has done some of making this an active
place. not all.
Lugnet .castle seems to me a relitivly boring place, especially lately.
No posts, no ideas, no mocs.
Even the .castle homepage is boring. it has links to all the castle sets, which
is good, but thats about all. oh, and a couple of links, one or two of them
dead. take a look at the .space homepage! moc of the day, all kinds of links
and recouces, people constantly talking over building techniqes and suggesting
ideas. they have fun things like the waterbags fight backand the like.
seed part of the month, cooler set lists, etc.

Space seems just to be a naturally more interesting place. especcialy since
most of the spacers from what i can see are really gung-ho about their
creations and projects.
Here, we just sort of sit around and chat about castles we build and think
about the good old days of castle.
i know some of you think that castle is active and such, but i dont see much
activity myself.

Im done rambling now too. (for now, at least)

i htought it over, and here is the most flexible disign i could think of for a
midevilmarket add on to make it a large fun group project.

Build a sectional city around the marketplace that will include mansions,
houses, etc that is in a city.  create a evil, and we can build a sectional
city for the evil.
From there, we can mount ongoing campaigns  to explore and conquer the lands
outside of the city. Build towns, trade land and tools and cattle etc with
others. have adventures in the land and explore unqauncered lands.
create armies to keep the evil away from the free lands, or black armies to
overrun the free lands.

is this a good idea? this is all i have for it. no standards, no names, no
premade towns, nothing. just an interesting idea.

NOTE! these are just my ideas. nothing more. this is just what i think.
Everybody is intiteled to their own opinion.

Well, the last roll call did do something. The Medieval Market was a direct result of it. Josh (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.space)
