That does sound like it could be a lot of fun - especially if you took
"snapshots" at different times... I think I posted an idea like this a while
back (rummage rummage rummage) Ah hah!
"I had in mind no real style requirements - I think it would be really neat to
see how it evolved over time. "In the reign of King AFOL, the construction of
the mighty castle started. His vision for the castle called for strong
foundations, and a large dungeon. His son, King AFOL II had different
priorities, and when the second floor of the castle was constructed, great
attention was paid to the kitchen and the dining hall. In his daughter's
reign, a distinct gothic influence can be noted, as flying buttresses appear
everywhere..." et cetera.
Which brings to mind another possibility...one person starts by building a
small keep. Another person adds a wing to it (modifying the original .dat
slightly to add doors). After that, someone else comes along, and adds
gargoyles everywhere, and an outer wall, and so on. The main difference here
would be that people would have to be willing to allow their .dats to be
modified by other people. This could be really neat, as a true evolutionary
castle. There would, however, need to be some rules or guidelines to avoid
toe-stepping."
