Apologies for my recent absence and lack of activity on the forum, but I play a humber of games as well as Minecraft. One of them in particular, Vega Conflict, a browser based MMO, has taken up most of my time in the past few weeks. Lately, war has broken out, and I'm somewhat indisposed to anything else at the time as I'm part of the conflict.
I hope to be back soon, at the end of a victory. Wish me luck.

Well, I think I'll kick off my little portion of SG6 with a bang. Minus the TNT though.
But first, lets start with a little history.
Before I came to SixtyGig I was on a server commonly known as MC.DK, It's where I met Zell and Ros. On my last weeks there I was constructing what was undoubtedly by biggest ever project I'd undertaken on any Minecraft server. It was called The Twisted Citadel. There is a screenshot or two of it in my initial application to SG over a year ago, some of you might remember it.
Regardless, since coming here I've been very happy being here, with all the fun people and cool stuff. A great admin team as well makes everything run so smoothly. However, I have always regretted not having he chance to finish that project off. Ever since I left it I've been wanting to recreate it, and finish it fully, but I've always had other ideas in my head I wanted to try, usually smaller projects. But with a fresh slate, and a brand new SG server, I figured now would be the best time of all times to start this project again and this time finish it in it's entirety.
So, that's really what this thread is about, my Twisted Citadel. Which is going to be named Lezra-Mina in it's rebirth.
Now, while I have none of the original plans and calculation that I made back then, I still have an idea of the basic layout in my mind, and it will go something like this:
-#- The entire Citadel will be made up of Netherbrick, Netherack, Glowstone, and dark wood.
-#- In the centre there will be a 61x61 circular tower; which through it;s architecture will gradually undulate up towards the world ceiling, containing three battlement layers and laced with glowstone in it's contours to accent the shape. Within this tower will be my primary home, a veritable palace from while I can rule over my not-so-small fortress city.
-#- Outside of that tower will be a small garden ring of a few blocks, followed by a thin tall and circular wall to enclose the tower within an additional protective element.
-#- Beyond that is a massive cityscape, reaching out not to a circle but to an eight-pointed star, which measurements will be a total of 401x401. This cityscape will be split into various districts; including (but not limited to) Residential, Industry, Marketplace, Gardens, Docks and Hightown. Each district will be separated by a dividing wall to easily note the borders.
-#- And surrounding this star-shaped city will be the final defensive wall, a thick barricade up against the wild seas beyond, each point of the start bradishing a heavily armed tower that will be able to overlook both the internal and external sides of the city.
Future (post project) plans are going to include the following:
-#- While the Residential area will be filled with small houses for the masses, the hoightown district will have a few large homes in with a fair amount of land. Other server players will be invited to purchase land so they may build their own home-away-from home, or perhaps a summer palace, within these sold plots. Building materials will be kept in line with the rest of the city though.
-#- The marketplace will be of such a size that some will be able to construct a small stall to sell their own wares, if they find certain resources in abundance during their time.
-#- The ground floor of the central Palace/Tower will be a large open area for dining and parties, and there may be many held for celebrations and merriment.
-#- Don't worry Ray, I'm not going to fill the city with villagers and lag out the server. 
So, on this the 10th of January in 2014, Lezra-Mina is born.
