Neo Kagome Community Meeting.

We do have a notice board in current Kagome. It died rather quickly.

@Kritter
Oh, I know. Unfortunately, very few people would ever visit Tengu and its noticeboard. If the noticeboard isn't located in a high traffic area, it won't often be read or used.
Also, refer to my previous points as to why that too may not have been used.

>notice board

People can't use that unless they're Elder, right? I don't know what the purpose of it is.

Have a 3rd party person or mediator recieve and distribute requests? >w< Anyone can look at the chests containing the requests but need to ask someone in charge of the job board to take the request or to make one :3c

Or better yet put request books in a donation chest and someone with access to it can write it on a sign and put it on the job board

In all seriousness though, multiple meetings over the course is a really good idea to make the meeting dates flexible. Things that are said can also be written on a thread for people to take a look at.

Also, I'll keeping track of what people's suggesting on thread or off-thread so we don't have to bounce between different medium in the meeting.

Compilation of Building Suggestions in Neo Kagome

---

Shrine - It's the first thing you see when you spawn, and honestly I feel like it's become such a staple building it should stay as the first thing you see when you spawn.

Airport / Seaport - A way to get to other players' villages, towns, and cities.

Town Centers - Central area that leads to almost everywhere on the city. Should be a large area with cool decorations and stuff

Hot Springs - Because everything's better with half-naked men and women!

Festival Grounds -

Museum of Histories -

Food Court - Finding proper food without joining another city is harder than one thinks. Having some sort of food court or restaurant that sells food in exchange for a certain currency system could be a fun place to have. (Besides, Kagome Fried Chicken!)

Wall(?) - A short, maybe 2 - 3 blocks tall wall. This way Attack on Kagome-type events could be held with less chaos, but also give off the feeling of a hamlet. Optionally we can have watch towers where participants can climb up to gain high ground.

[032516] Marketplace - For both NPC shops and player shops. Maybe NPC shops can be on the left side of the marketplace, and the player shops to the right. NPC shops will guarantee that you get what you pay for, while in the player shops you might be able to haggle and get a better deal.

@Eiburine
That's what I've been thinking too. Though it might be a pain, it's probably the best option. Heck, I'd be very willing to handle job board operations from time to time.

Only thing to account for then is the location of the job board and its availability. If the thing is obscure and hidden, it could easily be abandoned. It needs to be in a location with high traffic, for certain. Somewhere en route to Neo Kagome's market? Perhaps near the entrance to it?

@Wriggle
Loving some of these entries thus far. Some of them are already being worked on but others I would like to see being worked on.
Though we may have to adapt our current Neo Kagome prototype to fully implement the town centre idea. We already have a central area (complete with Animal Crossing: New Leaf tree) but it's not that big or that open.

holy hell me and birb will actually be able to make this meeting its a miracle (next friday makes things a little trickier but we'll be able to manage I think.)

Definitely keep a big marketplace, but instead of making it a ton of pathways, have it like a market square. Then probably pathways with more markets branching off that..
Player markets were pretty active when current Kagome started, people trading newly mined resources. Perhaps with a flat slate it would last longer this time.

And maybe a blacksmith/armory to implement my suggestion on trading Kagome bills for talismans?

Basically make sure about all the important Kagome bill shops from current Kagome trade over.
(Blackmarket didn't see much activity though so I think we can ignore that.)

@karu
Looking over xadrow's current marketplace, there's definitely a possibility for player shops by using the paths that branch from the current market square. The market square itself will be used for mostly NPC shops. Keeping most of them in a central location so they're easy to access and locate.
In the current Kagome, NPC shops were rather scattered and sometimes hard to find. Unless you knew Kagome inside and out, you'd have to ask someone to find a certain shop (Obama, Blacksmith, Library, Yotsuba, etc.). This was quite a problem for those who didn't exactly know what they could spend their bills on nor where to find the shops.

Also, while I will be adding to this to our private Kagome shop list, I do wanna bring up the notable lack of Obsidian for sale in the Blocks shop. Was there a particular reason why we forgot/didn't sell these things?

I think it's just a matter of "I forgot". Obsidian weren't too hard to find/make, and I rarely see much builds with them so I never gave it much thought.
