Actually, yes! I think that'd be very cool-- I think either/both ideas sound
really cool! I just wish I could participate in them NOW! I'm probably won't
start LDrawing/MLCADing/etc.ing until January, though, when I get a newer,
cooler computer...

Actually, yeah, I think this would be really neat... I think in terms of a
midaeval 'kingdom', the DATville idea works better, but I think that would lead
to smaller castles and structures in general... doing this sounds like it would
lend itself to one HUUUUUUUUGE castle. I'd be curious to do both, actually, and
see what happens... The only real disadvantage to doing the single DAT would be
that only one person can work on it at a time-- but that's a rather small
sacrifice, I'd say :)... It'd work kinda like a jambalaya box!
<silly ridiculous spin-off into wildly crazy and ludicrous idea>
We could have battles online to see who gets command of the castle next! One
ruler overthrows another in vicious combat! The victor take command of the DAT
file, and with it, moulds the new castle to his/her liking! Until one day, that
King/Queen gets overthrown and a new successor is chosen!
</silly ridiculous spin-off into wildly crazy and ludicrous idea>
Anyway, I like idea!
