I think it would be better not to say what you're going to build. That way, people can have fun guessing who built what.

<I'll get laughed at>

But i'd like to try make something. If it's not working out I'll just pass it through...

Well there's more than one way we could go with this. I like the idea of keeping it spontaneous. I'm not saying there's a limit to how many coasters or rides are in the park. If you want to build something and find room for it, then put it in there. It's whatever you want to do.

About buildings, my thinking was that you can't delete other people's buildings, but you can add to them. So you can't change the shape but you can add pieces to it. If you have an idea for a building and don't think you can do it, I suppose you could leave an outline where you think the building should be. And I suppose you could tell someone else what you think a good idea for the building would be, but ultimately it's going to be up to the builder to build it however they want. If you want to put a banner sign saying "this should be a frog" that's obviously going to be deletable (the banner sign), and nobody is bound to build that. You can suggest, but everyone get's to decide on their own what to build.

Some hacks require planning. Like you can't stack a piece of scenery if there's a ride underneath it. So the rule on deleting or moving things is, you can do that to build what you want as long as you replace it the way it was when you got it. Everything that was in the park when you got it should be in the same place when you send it off to the next person. We could allow alterations and "improvements" but the point of this experiment was to try to add without taking anything away. So for this park, I'm not going to allow that.

Landscaping is one consideration. A lot of times people leave land flat. My thinking is, you can change the landscaping as much as you want. Obviously where there's a building or a ride, the land height is set. But everywhere else, landscaping is never final - it's always changeable. Trees are another consideration because you can't change the landscape where trees are. I'm not sure what to do about that. I think if you put trees down, they stay there. As long as nobody just floods a whole bunch of space with trees. It'd be nice to have a clear rule about this, but I don't want to say people can't build trees.

Also, once you send off the park to the next person, what you've built is effectively 'locked' in place. Even if you go again you're not allowed to change it (just pretend it was built by someone else). So make sure when you send the park off that what you've built is suitably finished. An incomplete coaster can be completed. A building can be added to. But a bunch of random ghost train track all over the place because you didn't bother to delete it could be pretty annoying if everyone does that. So just remember that rule - nothing can be deleted - and be careful.

Oh, and you guys are welcome to post screenshots too. I'll let you be the judge of what is 'screenshot worthy.' There's quite a few people signed up now, so I hope some of you are okay with waiting a couple months to get the park. At a week a piece, it's going to take some time to go through the list. It should be more fun when there's a lot of stuff already there to build off of anyway.

--EDIT--

Oh yeah, it'd be nice to get a general idea of who would like to go sooner. If you would like to go in the first month, second month, etc. - that would be good to know. Like for example, who wants next?

Well.. If nobody wants to I'll take it next but I'd like halfway through month 2 too if that's ok...

I'd like to go 3rd. (I take it it will go: You, someone, me, someone else, someone else, someone else, etc...)

Hey Ed on your first post think you could edit on the names of the people who have confirmed they will take part? Id just kinda like to see it all in one place.

I could begin in ~ two weeks.

You realize he's talking about LL, right?

I'm still interested, Ed. Although I'd have to be one of the members that goes near last.

I know.. Just cause I haven't done any LL for this site doesn't mean I don't have the game...

Just send it to me on AIM....

but if not, fathagrinch@yahoo.com

Ed, are you goin to start the park or just send it down the list as shown?

The list is alphabetical. I'm going to send the park to somebody on Monday. Don't know who yet. I think ride6 wanted to go next.

I could also build pretty soon, I certainly don't want to wait that long (according to the alphabatized list).

groan... guess its not my RCT year
well lol i would accuse you of ripping off my idea ed, if id told u it in the first place lol.
was just waiting for H2H to end

eh well i guess its the way of life and RCT for me this year.... (bedroom 101 being overshadowed too)
ahh well. ill run mine later in the year i guess lol.
