Caledonia: Difference between revisions

The majority of February came and went very quietly otherwise, with more new players joining up and old ones fading into the dust. Fred had built more buildings on his new island and has contracted SwordMaster to build several bridges from his castle to the new islands with four planned in total. Even though all was quiet in Caledonia, they would play a part in the formation of an Eastern forum to discuss improving the East to make it more desirable to newfriends. This would be known as the Eastern Prosperity Association (or EPA for short), with many Eastern nations joining shortly after formation. Many people agreed that new infrastructure would be extremely helpful, although immediately a split arose: whether to build a new international city or not. It was suggested that a way to attract more newfriends would be to build a large sprawling city, similar to [[Mount Augusta|MTA]] or [[Icenia]], as the luster of such a grand city was determined as one of the main reasons newfriends liked to flock to those nations. However, some were opposed to it, and the discord discussion heavily devolved into chaos and extreme polarization ''very'' quickly. Those who wanted the city therefore pulled the project back from the EPA and made it it's own thing, still promising the centralized international station that everyone, including the opposition, wanted. Notably, several Caledonians liked the idea of this project and few pledged resources or labor towards the project. There have been a couple new houses popping up with some other miscellaneous builds, but nothing extreme like what happened at the beginning of the year.

The Mall was also remodeled to look more modern to fit more with the theme of the town.
