Hey everyone,
Since university picked up again recently, I've found myself with less free time on my hands, which I feel is more important to devote to working on stuff like the block updates for Oldtown and Highgarden at the moment.
So, in the name ofDemocracy glorious dictatorship of the proletariat, I thought opening up sections of the White Harbor sprawl for builders to apply to plot, as a kind of special mini-build, would allow for a better distribution of work and also letting people in the community have a chance to shine.
If you're interested in helping finish White Harbor sprawl, please see the following application form & requirements! You can submit your application as a reply to this thread and it must be approved by me and another moderator.
White Harbor Sprawl Plotting - Application Form
* Image Two
1. Industry (Yellow): Areas dedicated to a specific productive task.
- Requires research about the industry, both real-life and canon. (For instance, I believe there's some canon in the book about the shipyard).
- Requires tests for whatever the important aspects of the industry are.
2. Houses/Farming (Red): Some of these are denser areas around the main gates, where taverns/inns and other important professions would be. Some of them are more sparse, mostly farmer houses, large yards.
- In your plotting map, make sure to point out special builds (taverns/inns/etc.) as well as yards, fields, and/or pastures.
- Within the wall, large open areas should be filled with goat pens- see the goat pen plots to the east of the city for an example.
- Outside the walls, crop fields can also exist alongside with pastures and goat pens.
- Asterisk (*) indicates an application is a "special" region and thus requires a more substantial application
3. Editor Task (Blue): Consist of terraforming tasks such creating forests and rivers.
- Must be an Editor or Editor Lite to apply for these.
Please let me know if there are any parts of these guidelines that are unclear, or if you have any questions. I look forward to hopefully seeing people trying out some plotting, as it's not a common opportunity to be able to directly contribute to sprawl of a major server build like this!
Best,
Emote

If you're interested in helping finish White Harbor sprawl, please see the following application form & requirements! You can submit your application as a reply to this thread and it must be approved by me and another moderator.
White Harbor Sprawl Plotting - Application Form
- Applicant must have experience going through plotting and feedback at least once- in other words, having done at least a mini-build (hamlet) that's finished and approved. Please indicate which build(s) you've plotted in the past.
- Each application requires, at the minimum (more information below) either a drawn map or a layout in the Test world indicating individual house plots, yards, fields, and other plans.
- Please cross-reference the following two maps to see which areas can be applied for. The first map indicates the boundaries of each plotting section, whereas the second map indicates approximate house density and other details about each section. Note that more sections may be opened in the future; however these sections require terraforming to be done prior to opening them up.

- The sections in the map are divided into three seperate types. Please note the differences in application requirements for each.
1. Industry (Yellow): Areas dedicated to a specific productive task.
- Requires research about the industry, both real-life and canon. (For instance, I believe there's some canon in the book about the shipyard).
- Requires tests for whatever the important aspects of the industry are.
2. Houses/Farming (Red): Some of these are denser areas around the main gates, where taverns/inns and other important professions would be. Some of them are more sparse, mostly farmer houses, large yards.
- In your plotting map, make sure to point out special builds (taverns/inns/etc.) as well as yards, fields, and/or pastures.
- Within the wall, large open areas should be filled with goat pens- see the goat pen plots to the east of the city for an example.
- Outside the walls, crop fields can also exist alongside with pastures and goat pens.
- Asterisk (*) indicates an application is a "special" region and thus requires a more substantial application
3. Editor Task (Blue): Consist of terraforming tasks such creating forests and rivers.
- Must be an Editor or Editor Lite to apply for these.
- An application requires an approval by me and another moderator, similar to mini-builds within the city.
- Once an application is approved, the builder can begin plotting. Once the builder is finished plotting, myself and the other mod will post-approve it before it's ready to be opened to builders (this may not be immediate, depending on the location of the plotting).
- The builder in charge of the section will be able to play a central role in seeing their section through to completion, including participating in feedback along the way. (Not that people are forbidden from giving feedback at any other time!)
Please let me know if there are any parts of these guidelines that are unclear, or if you have any questions. I look forward to hopefully seeing people trying out some plotting, as it's not a common opportunity to be able to directly contribute to sprawl of a major server build like this!
