OOC Info A Profusion of Rum and Coconuts - Syka's OOC

No worries, Goss! Do your thing! It's really lovely up here in Seattle, and I hope you have a good time while you're here!

Hey gang! I remember hearing something about a sawmill being brought in or built soon, so I found this cool video about one that was built a bit ago using old blueprints for a wind-powered one. It should fairly easily be able to be switched to accommodate water power (just change the windmill out for a watermill and you'll get a more consistent cutting rate). Still, the thing took 2 years to build, and Syka doesn't have that kind of timeline if we wanna survive and have solid shelter before the rainy season hits. My thought is “Many hands make light work!” I have 6 of them to contribute myself, but I'm sure Randal could use the help assembling the thing. With Gossamer's permission maybe we could do a group “build a sawmill” quest? Just a thought! I've included the video below for reference!

Shimoje can help, but he is busy construction with his plot

[Gossamer]

I'd love you guys to build a sawmill together. I can provide the materials etc.

Also I should be posting today.

If anyone wants to discuss plot specifics I'm always on AIM as viskyia.

[Dust]

Dust would be more than happy to help out!

[Rakhasta]

Looks like we have a good little construction team set up! I should be able to hop on AIM sometime on Monday to chat specifics with you, Goss. Then we can make the starting posts! I’ll have a lot of time to write on Monday and Tuesday, so expect a few posts then. Maybe some location submissions.

[Gossamer]

I just wanted to remind you folks that if your thinking of developing locations, we aren't plopping any structures down in Syka unless we build them IC.

This doesn't include notable natural sites in the jungle wilds, the maw, along the beach, off shore or even ruins in such places. Those can pre-exist. And I thoroughly encourage them.

But if say you want to create a (as an example) Senior Center, complete with a PT area, Kitchen, and Rec Room... and you write it up to submit it in the submissions threads - its not going to be approved. Why? It doesnt' fit the theme and wouldn't be in Syka in a million years. This also includes pre-existing bars, merc halls, inns, etc. All these things have been proposed already.

If you want to write something up that you want to build or help build yourself... say a sawmill.. and include a little outline of how you are going to accomplish this (get James to bring the parts on the next run of the veronica, perhaps maybe a specialist that knows how to put it together, recruit a team to build it, and then propose the final version with npcs in the submission thread) Im all for it.

Quick question, are there children in Syka?
I was going to mention them in a thread, but I realized I hadn't heard much on the subject.

[Gossamer]

There are no children, orphans, etc in Syka until someone brings some. And no one has so far. There's literally only like half a dozen NPCs and whichever players are registered. No one else is here.

[Gossamer]

So the Syka NPC Masterlist is fully current.

There are only 6 NPCs in Syka. The three founders, two feral women, and a ghost little girl. That's it... unless you folks brought some with you. If anyone new shows up, you'll see them in thread.
