A little history here:  In the beginning, Castle World was simply a
surrogate for the fact that all of us live so far apart and can't combine our
creations and make a single awesome community.  I was meant to be a virual
community and place for interactions between the fans of castles.  The
map was simply a way to place and finger locations.  Here is the original • page:

http://members.nbci.com/legocastle/

I'm sure that not many have seen it:)

Oh, I remember it all right... and then there was the page with the left-hand
frame, before the one with the top one... huh... that sure was a long time ago!

This was the first ever attempt at unification, etc.  After this was done,
objections were raised that such a structure will limit the builder.  My
argument was that in real life, we have limits on our borders, on our
neighbors, and such.

<smile> true, true. It would be *so* nice to be able to have, say, Jerusalem
on a whole seperate plane - so much bloodshed would be spared... but that's
for o-t.debate ;-). And it would be quite nice for me to be able to jump from
one plane to another, I'd say... but again that's not for this forum ;-).

I bit my lip and let the discussion escolate.  This is
about
the time that objections on .castle were raised to keep all this debate out
of it.  .castle.org.cw was then formed.  It all came back to the same thing -
the map.

Yeah... I remember some headaches around the time of the name-wars, and even a
few times when we had to remind people of that last C. - Courtesy. But we got
past it

The map was always the hot topic.  What if this?  What if that?  What if I
want to do this?  Everyone had their idea of a world and yet everyone
wanted community.  Unfortunately, true community only happens when we are
all in the same place and interacting.  Of course, the prerequisite to
all of this is common consent and courtesy.

Yep. Otherwise, what's the point in CW anyway?... We want to have fun here, so
we gotta work together a bit.

So ...  I would have to agree with Shiri here - we don't even have a map so
we don't even know if things will work out or not.  The addtions like the
Library and awesome, but changing the whole system without trying the old
one is a bit too quick:)

Yeah. Some of these are great ideas that can come in *addition* to, instead of
*replacing*, the current system.

My advice is to just build and create and it will all fall into place ...
that's what I'm doing:)

Yeah- no point in worrying *too* much. ;-)

Oh yeah - anyone want to give building The Library a shot?  I have an idea
of what it might look like, but I'm not the artsy type so somone should
step up here ... ;)

I'd love to, but am *so* busy. :-/
Anyone?
