Archived Ban Plateaus Floating On The Water!

[Theboomyfly]

Hello there people,
Every time I see it, it annoys me very much. It's ugly, it's noobish, it's unlogical and worst of all, it isn't medieval! We all know it, a large, plain plateau floating on the water. I consider it as a grief of the landscape to be honoust.
There is a rule that say that you have to build in medieval style. Well, to the people who have built such a thing, I'm sorry to say, but it isn't medieval at all.

1. In medieval times, they built on land.
2. During that time, they didn't had the techniques to built such things on the wild ocean. Many would've have drowned when trying to build it.
3. It isn't logical at all. Stone doesn't float on water, it sinks. So how could a large plateau made out of stone, supported by none or one pillar even not crumble and sink? Even wood, dirt or any other material would fail this.

So I just ask the server, please get rid of those plateaus. They are just a gigantic grief to the world! Mostly these factions who build such things get disbanded after couple of weeks or months and they leave a large scar in the world. An ugly house is ok, it can easily be broken down, but a plateau? These plateaus I'm speaking of aren't 10x10, but more like 1000x1000! Please, make a rule about this before the whole ocean becomes covered by plateaus!

Friendly greetings, Theboomyfly.

P.S. Think about the Maiars! Don't they deserve sunlight?!

I approve, i myself sometimes clear things like it single handily, but its too much effort for a small group, the admins could clear this way quicker, c:

Totally agreed. Unless they'd add sh*t ton of supports to it or make it look more natural.

They could make instead of an ugly plateau an island, that would be much, much better.

It depends on how deep the water itself is. If it's 30+ blocks or so, it's not that easy to make big area in an island. If it's just few blocks or so, totally agreed. Otherwise it would be material and time consuming.

I would like to see a MassiveCraft version of Atlantis, but each ocean city I have seen at the moment is just terrible. :/ And I would say, just ban it, even if it has 1000 pillars, it's still a grief of the landscape in my opinion. Perhaps, if there is someone who can make a plateau less plain and ugly, that would be allowed. But, no one has proved himself/herself of being capable of that.

Stone doesn't float?! That isn't what Monty Python told me! Also, if this becomes a rule, it would ruin my idea for a Venice themed rp faction.

People have a lot of creative ways of doing things. I suggest just banning bare floating land above the water. But if it has supports or other way of making it more pleasing/realistic and such, it really doesn't have to be banned.

okay I completely agree I want to say but what if someone made a boat city of sorts maybe a few flat boats connected or something

 

[Rinus]

If it looks natural-It's fine.
Ugly cobblestone or dirt squares and circles should be banned though.
If it's supported by many columns in a Venice manner, then that's fine..

I just think the idea of a boat city is awesome if any of you have read the pendragon series you'll know what I'm talking about minus the futuristic stuff and just a minor complaint if you're trying to compare medieval fantasy to real life medieval stuff then bleh.

Well... Non-medieval builds and structures are against server rules.

If you run across large non-medieval structures, feel free to report them to staff via the report a player threads or the ticket system.
