Interesting. I intend to read through it shortly; so far I've only skimmed. The bulleted format makes it rather unentertaining to read - like a list rather than a story, as I suppose it is - but it seems well laid-out and fairly neat. Was this documented over time, as it happened, or did you have to pore over old records and reconstruct it all when you started writing the page?

Oh, thank you. I will probably start writing some historical compilations as soon as school gets out, or whenever the workload becomes negligible (I have to spend like a half hour a night right now, which you will agree is far too much work to allow me to undertake any major essay-writing). When that happens I'll undoubtedly have questions to ask in order to clarify inconsistencies, and at that point your offer will prove an invaluable resource, along with this thread.

But if you have anything to contribute now - major events or conflicts that the others missed, important people, factions I wasn't aware of (like Nimaro, up until today), and anything like that - I'd be happy to read through it and include it when I start writing. It's important to document everything that's ever happened for those who come before to remember and those who come after to learn.

I made a main wiki page for Nimaro here: http://web.minetown.net/wiki/index.php?title=Nimaro

The main pages are normal style. The history page is really only a listing. It is interesting because it also shows that have been there at some point but no longer exist. I will add pictures of those things.

I documented it now. I am certain about most of the months because I am very trigger-happy with the screen shot key. Screen shots include the date.

The main page is far easier for me to read through in a single run. Anyhow, it's a beautiful city that you've built.

Personally I only rarely take screenshots, so I wasn't thinking of them as a means of record-keeping, though I suppose that's a very effective method. Nimaro seems very construction-oriented, correct? There didn't seem to be a whole lot of politics recorded in your history. It seemed mostly cultural, what with massive architectural endeavors taking precedence over diplomatic affairs.
Correct. The zoo has been a bit of social glue for our city. Many people from outside the city have helped on the zoo since it is such an enormous project.

Mob tower building has also been an important element in the city, since it has paid for all our building projects.
Added a lot of pictures to the Nimaro history page now.

Ron... is that a real enderdragon roaming the overworld or a mod disguised on the 'the zoo before the sky limit was raised' screenshot?

Tis an impressive structure, to be certain. I would consider it the defining feature of Nimaro, at least if one looks at the map and sees it towering above everything else. Also, thank god for pictures. I can now read through the whole thing without feeling like a social worker or something of the like.
