Over the past week we have continued to experience a population boom. We have steadily risen in numbers and the amount of active players in Icenia. With that however comes new challenges and new tasks. Like any big city IRL more population=more problems but also more positive benefits. Here are some things that I think we need to do in order to make Icenia fit and ready for the future.

• Develop our infrastructure to be bigger and better

We must build more infrastructure for sure to support not only our population-but our growing homegrown economy. This means we need a gold farm, we need larger farms, and we need to start collecting more materials to sell to a worldwide market. We should also look to making certain farms automatic

• Develop our security to prevent items from being stolen

This means fixing the old groups and making new and updated ones for Snitch, Vault, and Bastion. These three groups will allow for adding people to each one who we trust and who needs it. Points have been covered all day as to how we can mend our security issues and frankly all of them are good.

• Taking care of our people better

Although we can not babysit new players we can explain to them the basics of the server and get them set up with a care package when they come in. This will include wood, stone for reinforcing, a snitch, and a diamond and a piece of iron for reinforcing chests and the snitch. If we do this people will be better protected and will have the materials required to build a house. We should also make chests around housing districts where people can exchange junk blocks like cobble for wood. This will also get us more supplies to reinforce and such.

We can also explain punishments better and the pearling system for incoming new players. A lot of times new players come onto Civcraft not knowing what they are in for at all and how deep the server politics run.

• Planning for the future with new districts, and beautification

Icenia needs more great builds for sure. We need to finish our capitol building, make a courthouse, build a library, a monument for pooch (lel) or the independence of Icenia, another train station for internal icenia rails, and much much more. If you think you can build show us proof you can and do something nice. Icenia right now as it stands is surpassing the town of Orion. We should continue doing this.

• Roads, Tunnels, Iceroads, and more!

We currently have a rail line to Orion and other places. This is great however a lot of people in Icenia have to walk a fair distance to get to our main rail station. Talks have been in place for a citywide rail system and I personally think this is a great idea along with rails to Philomel, Port Norden, OG's new thing he is working on, Eslenti, Lhasa, and the farming district. We also need overland numbering systems for main roads that are easy to follow and can help people get to the destination they want to go. Developing rails lines to include ice roads along them also is an important thing we should eventually do.
