Volkstadt: Difference between revisions

The third great fire was irrelevant enough to have been lost to time. If anybody remembers, please tell. The likeliest candidate is the burning of Traviskun's house and the elimination of the last medieval-themed structure in town.

 

 

The fourth great fire was when Tigen and bgbba decided that the old Bunkhousen was ugly and out of place. Made entirely of dark oak planks, the bunkhouse had seen better days. Successive waves of newfriends had turned a once acceptably shitty build into the city's equivalent of a roach motel. Holes in the walls and floors, reinforced crap that hadn't been kicked out from months ago, various patches of strange colored wood and wool carpeting, and the result of a million halfassed repair jobs had rendered the landmark an absolute mess. Something had to be done. Taking a flint and steel, Tigen, bgbba, Asatarncasning, and a few others decided to burn down the top two floors, leaving the two or three underground levels alone. Naturally, this did not happen and the resulting fire ravaged downtown, cooking and killing Rick1011 (King of Spainland) and numerous other denizens who attempted to loot the chests and goodies hidden in the walls from four months of new players. The mad rush to get the scraps of iron ore, gold pickaxes, and other goodies picked the massive pit clean before the fire was even out. Though the Spainland Fire Patrol showed up to stop the blaze, the fire damaged the face of numerous buildings around the town, resulted in several deaths, and one of the funniest mumble recordings in /Pol/ynesian history as bgbba reflected on his poor choice of demolition methods while he nearly burned to death from the roof. Had the Aufdenstadt building and the Ore Exchange still had their wool faces, the entire downtown would have been flattened.
