LVS Pro Masons Discourse
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2018 4:12 pmI feel like there is slight confusion as to what service the LVS Pro Masons is offering.
https://zedwork.co.uk/wiki/LVS_Pro_Masons
I'll start a FAQ section on the wiki soon but for now, I just want to clarify:
The intent of suggesting that a Mayor/Council/Guardian tag a 'build' for observation is an attempt to create action. New players join the server every day and most of them spend their first 15 hours with us building in a warp town, watching how the family communicates and collaborates, and watching the (completed or in progress) builds for inspiration and guidance.
I am not proposing demolishing a Zedling’s build regardless of the length of their absence. I have been away for 3 months to 6 months at one time or other, completely absorbed by IRL issues and work, so I would be quite the hypocrite to suggest such a thing.
In my humble opinion if a player joins the server, lays down a few blocks, hereby claiming a plot of land in a warp town or district, and doesn’t return to work on it for months he/she is most likely not returning; and with the small possibility of return acknowledged should expect it to have been demolished and re-assigned for open use by another active player to facilitate the proper expansion and completion of the district. What I am suggesting is not without precedent. Most warp town rule boards contain some warning of the sort:
Forest Hills rules quotes:
“Builds can also altered/denied a mayor!“
“Builds may be removed for any reason by a mayor/co-mayor.“
“We will rarely remove completed builds unless we have proper reason to do so!“
“In-activity is the main reason!“
Hayfever Hills rules quote:
“If a incomplete build has lack of progress in 2 weeks it may be removed by the Mayors of this Warp…”
Savannah Springs rules quotes:
“Mayors may alter claims at any time. Their word is final.”
“Builds may be removed if their player is inactive for over a month”
“Claiming is allowed, but must show progress in a week.”
“Mayors may alter any builds close to the Warp pad”
“Mayors will give 1 week notice before removing inactive builds.”
Jungle (Old Warp) rules quote:
“Builds must be a Treehouse style” (demolition for non-compliance implied)
Swamp (Old Warp) rules quote:
“Mayor has the right to remove or alter builds. Won’t do this much.”
All I am really doing is asking the Mayors or Guardians to exercise what has long been held as law since I joined the server so that we can create a better building environment to entice new players with the occasional ‘prime spot’ in neighbourhoods of otherwise great/completed builds; simultaneously (in the case of older or retired warp towns) giving veteran server members a greater sense of pride in the overall beauty of LVS and possibly a little more incentive to collaborate.
I hope all the veteran players consider joining us on a build occasionally, and those that enjoy themselves - stay and keep building with us at any of our events.
Help me make the 'our' in 'our events' transition from a Pro Mason's 'our' to an LVS 'our'.

Odin Bless you!
Thank you for your time.
