Comments
also, will I need SI?
We could try for a wild west or old west theme, all of this in flatland or some desert map (though a non flat map would be prettier)
by the way, what map are you thinking on?
The map is open to suggestion... Flatland would probably be a good choice for a western-themed town, but of course it is still flat as ever, so would need some decorating. It's no Deadwood, but it's better suited than most of the serverside terrains (Rasp and Sun Dried are the only desert terrains I can think of that might have enough flat space), and I don't suppose many people would download something new.
We'll probably try to keep the whole towns buildings loaded all the time, or at the very least mark down where buildings are so you don't build over somebody else...
I've started a livery near the gate to stable your wildcats, but other than that you can pick anywhere to build within the town. You don't have to be exactly in line with other buildings, but if you're building along the main thoroughfare you should try to build so that others can build fairly close to you (or smack up against your walls in some cases)
(I blame my new steam games for my lazyness)
The town is still open to building and viewing at least until the end of the week, and may have a cactus mine added down the tracks later, but if you feel like declaring yourself the winner feel free to start doing so.
I also vote for myself because I sat around and took screenies and built a railroad and most of a train. I vote for myself more though.
I think at this point you just have to claim a prize (or a couple of them, in case the one you chose first is no longer available) and hope the gods of steam raffles shine their light upon you
I think I'd really like the X SuperBox (X-Box?), unless for some stupid overlooked reason l4d2 is also available, in which case I'd go for l4d2... what?
Also, did you know Zeno Clash was made by Chileans?
