Good Morning, good afternoon, or good evening familiar! I apologise for my brief and unexpected absence. But, outlined below, is said Five-Month-Plan (For the Island of Exertia):

This is what I plan to do. If you manage to read some, or even all of this, good on you. I may have to split it up into a couple of posts. We shall see!

FIVE MONTH PLAN.

MONTH 0.5 (Preparation) – March 2015:

1. General Readyness

During this month, I shall create various draft plans for all Exertia’s happenings. Also, I have set myself a deadline to release the third Aeon Tourism Video before the month is due.

MONTH 1 - April 2015:

1. Roads, roads, roads -

Who will build them?

ALL roads that will ever be constructed on this mountainous, ice island shall be laid within this month. This will allow for proper and logical placement of building, factory, farm and monumental constructions. The roads will have varying heights due to the terrain, and will each have their own names. Make no mistake, this shall not be a grid city, but a sensibly organised conglomerate of agricultural, housing, cultural, and productive facilities, with a grilled mind-set of defensibility and durability. Emphasis on durability and defensibility. Every road will at least be reinforced with Stone, and snitched.

2. The Statues

Will Fort Exertium become CivCraft's equivalent of Easter Island?

It is planned so. Within this first month, all player skin statues that have been requested in this thread shall be constructed and finished in their desired positions, with their desired stances and 'extras'. They will be constructed and finalised after the roads are completed, and will too, be reinforced with Stone and littered with Snitches.

MONTH 2: May 2015

1. Snitches, the Snitches!

Aren't they in Harry Potter?

The Island of Exertia shall therefore within this second month, become literally littered with DRO reinforced Snitches. This shall include Jukeboxes for all the finished (or planned) constructions and areas deemed important constructions by myself. This shall also include Note Blocks for all roads and all other constructions and areas deemed not as important as others. For all of Exertia is important.

2. "The Meta-Game"

woah dude, this thread just went meta...

During this month, the 'Meta-Game' shall be worked on heavily, more so already than of that, that is occurring.

This shall include:

• Completion, and finalization of the Constitution/Guaranteed Workers Rights of Fort Exertium. (I will need to work with Western Empire Council Members on this, to ensure it is in-line with Capital's vision of the Western Empire.

• Detailed maps of the Island of Exertia and its holdings, divvied up into respective areas; for ease of access and movement throughout the island, including street names/numbers.

• Duly increased presence on the Exertium, Aeon and Main CivCraft sub-reddits. Including a city reveal on the Main Sub. (Going forth as a public city).

• Last but not least, a greatly increased presence on Mumble, to ensure I can participate in discussion and ensure that I am knowledgeable in current internal and current external affairs.

MONTH 3: June 2015

1.“The Month of Construction”

”Marmoream relinquo, quam latericiam accepi… – I found Rome a city of bricks, and left it a city of marble…”

During this month, major constructions will be taking place. Everything must be reinforced.

This shall include:

• Very large and efficient farms: Whatever can be grown or bred in the Ice Mountains will be farmed extensively on them.

• Actual construction of Citizens Housing: Large, expansive, tall and many apartments with sizeable living quarters shall be built up.

• Creation of Production: Numerous buildings housing public factories shall be built across the island for ease of access. Numerous ‘Item/Block Generators/Grinders’ must be built, ie. Multiple Obsidian Generators or Mob Spawner Traps (hopefully).

• Cultural Constructions: Various cultural monuments and buildings shall be built or finished during this month, namely the ‘Tower of Kain’, the ‘Great Arch of Love’, the ‘Glorious Theatre of ZombieLenin’, the ‘Impressive Courthouse of Supreme Justice’, the ‘Historical CivCraft Museum in Accordance to Marakitus’ and the ‘Clifface of BolleDeBolle’. Various different types of smaller monuments and inscriptions of Communist libel will be scattered across the island. This includes Hammer and Sickles, Flags, Inscriptions, Posters, CCCP Lettering etc. In the planning stages still are various arenas. More information will come out about these arenas at a later date.

MONTH 4: July 2015

1.“The Month of Underground Expanses.”

”They’re taking the Hobbits to Isengard!”

In this month, the fourth month, the main focus will be underground expansions.

Originally what the city of Fort Exertium was mainly to be, the underground expansions will serve as an overflow area for population and feature underground gardens. Let me make it clear, I’m the biggest gardener in this game, and as such, for hundreds upon hundreds of metres (blocks), sprawling and twisting and turning tunnels of beautiful underground gardens with water features, underground rivers and waterfalls, bridges, mossy paths, ‘abandoned dwarven structures’, forests, hedge mazes, etc. will all be created and tendered to. A sizeably smaller area will also be dug out for extra housing just in case.

Once completed, I will bid for ‘The Gardens of Fort Exertium’ to be a wonder of the world. It will be a place of joy, chilled-outness, relaxation and happiness. A great boost to morale shall come, and it will continue to serve and benefit everyone after its completion.

MONTH 5 (The Final Month?): August 2015

1. Quotas and Communal Storage

The Fruits of our Labour shall be shared and used to benefit us all!

During this month of August, I plan to introduce quotas for all workers, including myself, that are fair and equal to people’s amount of available playtime. If a citizen wishes to work in a certain areas, they will be accommodated to the best of my ability, so that everybody has the ability to ‘work’ for Exertia and produce, while still doing something that either/or: - Find Worthwhile, Find Enjoyable.

Communal Storage will also be finished up and organised, so that each worker is allowed to take what they need, for whatever they need it for, and drop off their work, so that others can use their work for what they need too. Of course, for now there will be a ‘State’ per se, running the Island of Exertia, but the state refers to me only. For each quota that is filled, there shall be a 10% tax on it that must go to the “City Coffers” in which, in conjunction with my previously acquired wealth, they will both go to various Exertian Projects and Plans that I’ve come up with, to better the area that I have founded.

Disclaimer: Not all plans are able to be shared.
