As the election draws closer & closer I in all honestly forgot about this project.

Fret not though, for those of you who like to capitalize or monopolize things, all chest shop places within the marketplace will be FREE. Actual shop buildings will cost 1 iron and can be used for any purpose.

It will act in a first come, first serve basis, but a maximum limit of free chest shops may be put into place, although there will be a lot of room and multiple floors.

Also there is a notice board/advertising board in which I will put up a few guidelines on the average exchange rates, but you are free to advertise anything you want there, whether it be your shops wares, business or party running for office.

Of course construction has only just started, so you cant claim anything just as of yet, but the advertising board is up for use.

Also I will be helping out Spore with his restoration project of the CivIss, turning the whole thing into big, communal farms, and Raps vision for Queensport, as a holiday retreat destination.

I will also be cleaning up the lava bombing of Tortuga and doing general maintenance in Gastonville, although Ljk1998 is looking to run the show there too if Godofthevillage doesnt mind too much.

IMPORTANT: The North Ironside Market place is scheduled to be completed by Monday, and you cannot claim any chest shops places or shop buildings until then! Though you may advertise on the Advertising board.
