[size=2em]Congratulations to:
1st Rancho Cucamonga
2nd Ghetto
3rd Sunshine Valley
As first place, Ranch will be receiving it’s own dedicated map. This is because Rancho embodies the kind of builds and cities we encourage PCB players to make. Striving to make cities as nice as Rancho and having room for collaboration is the perfect example and we want to show you the community this by giving Rancho it’s own map. Congratulations to the other two cities too! City owners please attribute any other players that had a key part in helping you achieve this award! (2-3 players max). We will be rewarding all the winners with a forum signature/badge soon! Thank you all for competing and as you may have guessed with this all happening…
[size=2em]The Creative Map is updating!
Please be aware that in two weeks from now (July 6) the Creative map will be updating to a new map!
*Don’t be alarmed, the map will be available for download so if you wish to continue your builds they will still be available for you to continue in a world download that we will provide
*There’s a potential for buildings that are meant for a city to be saved SEE THE BIGCITY ANNOUNCEMENT THREAD FOR INFORMATION
We are also enforcing some new rules for this map.
(1) PCB Creative will have one nationalized rail system. You will not be allowed to make rails from one place to the next. With the exception that you may build rails within your own city and that you will be required to follow standards (to be determined), you will be required to ask a staff member for assistance when connecting from your area to someone else’s in addition to when you make your actual stations if you wish to connect to the main line. We are making this rule for this map because we have witnessed firsthand that users have been uncontrollable with rails and we would like to moderate rail activity so that we can at least have a nice universal train line that serves well for transportation, and is pleasing to the eye.
More details will come in a few days!
(2) As far as Airports are concerned, please do not make them unless you have a staff’s permission to do so. Reason for this is that it doesn’t make sense to have an airport in every city, especially when some of them are very close together. Instead you will be expected to collaborate on regional ones for every 3 cities that might be near in distance so that there aren’t a flood of airports on the entire map
(3) Do not rely on Staff to follow your requests for WE. For the sanity of people’s laziness and a Staff’s member decision to help or not, only Trusted members will be given priority for WE requests, so long as they don’t require a long period of time. Staff promote your creativity when making cities/towns so please do not ask for flattening because it honestly just does not look good. (if you would like to build on flat you may always go to BigCity).
[size=2em]Additional Important Changes:
Rancho *The winner of the PCB city achievements award will be having it’s own dedicated map! Only Trusted players will be allowed to build in this map, so long as the city owner (Filipenis) or another Staff member gives the approval. Failure to follow to follow build approvals will have consequences
Since we are giving Rancho it’s own map we will also be changing the Spawn. BigCity will replace Lobby as the New Official Spawn for the server, and Lobby is being archived.
