We had what felt like 20 newfriends show up today, and as promised, here are the group pictures!

They've all been housed in the White Palace in Thorne District. Special thanks to gbrbgryn and Ladezkik for the help with setting them up and giving them a tour. I can't help 20 people at once.

If you are one of our new neighbours, here are some things you ought to know:

Mount Augusta Constitution: https://www.reddit.com/r/MtAugusta/wiki/constitution

Mount Augusta Criminal Code: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtaugustajustice/wiki/criminal_code

Mount Augusta Courts: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtaugustajustice/

Unofficial Server Map: http://www.txapu.com/

Main Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Civcraft/ The sidebar on the main sub has all kinds of useful links for our major plugins and such. You guys already learned some basic commands.

You can ask in game for any help you need. I will buy logs for 4stacks/diamond and I have clay and sand mining opportunities available too, but those need a little introduction and I need to get you some gear for the clay mining since it's underwater.

If you'd like to constructively benefit the community we have some large digging projects underway too. There are occasionally large building projects too.

Also, /u/garkingbing is always trying to buy wheat from me and I never have any, so you might try selling him some.

MTA is full of public farms, with one major rule: replant.

The White Palace apartment building is free to stay in, but I recommend the following:

• snitch your area (check the main sub sidebar for info on how to do this)

• reinforce your chests

• log out with your valuables

Also, if you are inactive for a long time and I can't find you on the security system I will post a eviction notice on the door. I usually leave these for two weeks or so. Just take down the sign or PM me to let me know you're still active. Additionally, if you leave your IGN, apartment number and reddit /u/username here I'll add you to my residents roster and send you a reddit PM as well as the eviction notice so that you can be sure not to miss it.

Additionally, if you want land of your own and you're still around after a week, I will gladly try to find you an open plot. Land in Mount Augusta is privately owned bedrock to skylimit. That's why there is no mining in the city. Also, you won't make any money mining in the city due to our modified ore distribution. Ask in game or better yet, read about it on the Civcraft subreddit.

If you feel overwhelmed, don't sweat it. We're here to help, especially in Thorne. Please don't be tempted to raid or break laws. This is a civilized nation. We will gladly help you without the need to break into things and raid. We have public farms, a court system, transportation, etc.

DON'T THINK MTA IS ALL GRINDY AND BORING THOUGH! We know how to have fun. Challange one of us to a game in the snowball arena. That would be dope as hell with 12 people or so.

I'll see you all around. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
