Talk:Tutorials/Building a metropolis

Page Redone
I just rewrote the entire page. How do you like it? yoshidude56 19:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I like it. But it good do with a few edits, no offence :) --120.145.163.117 01:31, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback :) --Yoshidude56 03:34, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * WHAT THE??!!!! You redid the entire page?! Seriously?? You should have gotten permission from NOCH!!!! --120.145.163.117 01:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * WHO IS THIS "NOCH"? Yoshidude56 01:53, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

I have two things to say. 1. That person means NOTCH, who created Minecraft. 2. Please could you ask around BEFORE you redo it. I like your changes but the original was bigger. However I like the fact that you have tried and you have done a great job. I founded this page, but it does say "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it." Just anyone who reads these words, add suggestions to this new page. Thanks for stopping it from being deleted :) CycloneChilli 18:36, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Suggestions?
Seeming that MCW hasn't got any suggestions along this page, I'll add to it. To start with take off the nightclub, and make it into a disco place instead (I know this sounds dumb because I'm talking about the same thing, but the nightclub has drinks, and yet the "Dance Lounge" has no drinks.). Sound good? Add your suggestions here! –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 101.169.170.157 (Talk) 09:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * I think there should also be a prison(Not a jail) to hold both players and mobs just for fun. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.221.208.156 (Talk) 15:39, 1 July 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * I know none of us want to lose this page. it is one of the best tutorial pages. It bring life to the usual boring creative mode. For the page's sake plz keep it appropriate. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Builder200000 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 04:02, 3 July 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * I've made a backup just in case: User:Mbartelsm/Tutorials/Metropolis, I created an account just for that --Mbartelsm 15:33, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

As a tutorial page, many of these ideas should have an accompanying design, picture, or diagram to help indicate the means to reproduce a number of architectural effects. Without such things, this tutorial page simply becomes a "list of suggestions and ideas." Further, many of the descriptors can be merged, and made more general, to help reduce the sheer size of the lists in this article; e.g. "Weapon Shop", "Armor Shop", "Junk Shop", etc. can simply be called "Shop". Individual concepts can be explained in each section if necessary. Also, explaining the reason to include the concept is unnecessary. The gist of the concept should be reflected in the name or title of the sections or structures. Naming separate structures that serve the same function is redundant.

Last, the article is in dire need of rewriting. It is rife with rhetorical questions and repeated information. Random offender, Landmark: Make something that people know it is your town. It should be something impressive, maybe a model of the deathstar or your skin? Maybe something else, works well on servers if you want the people to know and remember your server. Rewritten: A landmark can help make a map or server unique, and can be used as a reference point for navigation. Aside from the conversational tone, the original section is very subjective and contains pointless text("Maybe something else" part can be struck entirely). If this article can't be rewritten in an objective and concise manner, the information is better contributed to a community section and not a wiki entry. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.54.121.200 (Talk) 07:40, 8 July 2012 (UTC).

 * Listen up. I think we need to redo the entire page, and make it a realistic metropolis. For example, war doesn't sound so good to me. And it's not exactly belonging to a metropolis, if you know what I mean. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.182.45.92 (Talk) 03:27, 16 July 2012 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * No! Minecraft is about fantasy! I mean, when was the last time you saw a green creature that explodes in the street? CycloneChilli 20:21, 2 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Well seriously, if you really think about it, war is not a metropolis type. It's a game type thing, if you know what i mean. I have a good idea that will probably end this. WHEN someone has a suggestion they must get permission from Notch. Sound good?
