A theme I would personally like to do for the island is to build the top up like Niflheim with snow and ice everywhere exposed, then build the bottom like Muspelheim, with rivers and lakes of lava and fire everywhere, maybe something of a windy road too.

Whatever the community votes on, though, is what we will build.

So, how would this work if "Big Ass Floaty Island" was the name? I wouldn't feel right with a bunch of ass sculptures all over.

lol. It'd probably be more of an ordinary theme. General minecraft construction and such. No snow, ice, lava, or specific architectures.

Lol I go for Big Ass Floaty Island.
PS: I'll make the ass sculptures.

I agree with tuatha with the top icy and the bottom a fiery hell to throw greifers in

The kingdom of -Insert Floating Island Name Here-?

Tuatha :
I still think it would be really cool to implement the fire/lava below, even if that wasn't the chosen name (Muspelheim I believe.)

New poll. Remove first option. Maybe?

hehe. i voted for big ass floaty island

Wha? But that was the one I came up with! D=
Hehe =]

Oh how I wish I could follow Discharge's suggestion. >.>
But alas, the community has voted; and, by a landslide it seems, BAFI (Big Ass Floaty Island) is winning. However, people do seem to like the fire and ice idea, so we'll go ahead with it.

BTW folks, please please please, tell me what jobs you would like to take. I now need folks to build the fortress itself (what's up there right now is a city wall). I also need folks to collect materials for and build the firey depths beneath the island (hereafter codenamed Muspelheim); preferably before mobs are turned back on so I don't have people bitching about dangerous work conditions.

Haha! Yay for BAFI! When I suggested that, I was only half serious haha. Most of it was sarcasm. But if you think about it, the name is pretty fitting. =P

What kind of materials need to be gathered? Things like lava, fire, and the hellstone would have to be spawned, wouldn't they?

Well, lava buckets are enabled.

Yes, but wouldn't we need a TON of lava? (Explain what it looks like to me. In my mind, I see a huge lava lake with burning stuff around it, and lava falls. Much like the Nethers.)

Just to clarify, Big Ass Floaty Island refers to it being large, not an actual ass. =P

yes, it refers to large. as far as i'm concerned.
If i start seeing large ass-shaped structures on/near the project, i will personally ream it a new one.

No! I like the idea of Big Ass Floaty Island. I think we should make the bottom of the island look like an ass. Then it shall be surrounded by the fire and ice and make the ass look like a BAMF

Yeahh, that'd be just a little weird.
"Welcome to the CFUK project, we live on an ass."

I would actually quite enjoy living on an ass. Hold it, I'm just joking. But..... an ass would be quite awesome on the bottom with the flames surrounding it.

Yes, we live on an ass, and on the other side, you can see our "wooden structures."
Sorry, bad pun
