Designing spii
From The Schommunity Wiki
Rather than individuals working for individual gain we ought to be working as a community for the benefit of everyone in the community...
Rather than replicating real life, with shops, offices, and living spaces that only seek to support themselves, we can build a community which progresses, which ends up doing things, and enjoying doing them.

Bigger questions
- What sort of environment do we want to spend our time in?
- What do we want to achieve? What are we doing here?
- Do we need walls? Why?
- Do we need weapons? Why?
- Do we each need our own territory? Why?
- How can we work together as a community to create what we need>
- How do we balance form and beauty?
- How do we make the island appear as a whole with a coherent design? Do we want to do this?

== What Do You Think Of This == - Baso
See I think that this is better for the main street:
Community Centre AI Emporium Governing Building

Sandbox Park Forest
(ps. the government are looking into getting a new sandbox, but slightly smaller)
Faz - some good ideas. Remember, we can't just go around building everything huge though, the island may be bigger but not by too much.
PRACTISE!
