I've actually already started laying the foundation, but I can zap it to another location if the group votes against it. Did you have immediate plans for the area? Otherwise, I think the "first come first served" doctrine applies.
What I'm building needs to be far out in the middle of an ocean, and this was the closest one that fit the bill. Plus, it has the perks of being close to my other big project and begin far away from civilization (since some folks don't like the sight of rampant resource cheating, which this structure and the ones near it will have).
I'd prefer to keep the current location, but I'll propose an alternate to the group: the middle of the ocean between "new spawn" (near Bryson's home) and the future site of the AppleNova sign. Would anyone else prefer (or oppose) I use that location instead of my current one? Keep in mind that I will likely build up more islands once the current structure is complete.
On a related note, I'm hereby relinquishing my claim to the larger land mass around my last project of Nurmengard. Neighbors are welcome to build or mine around that area. If bobsky returns, he's free to set up camp on the coast if he's still interested.
