---IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT---

Fast approaching 1000 thread views, the seemingly most well-known faction in the MineTown server has a very important public announcement to make. Please read further, as it may very well concern you.

The Angelian Empire has been around since the first day of new MineTown, and I myself have been around since October 19 (exactly two months today ). We've accomplished many things over this time, including building the first non-spawn city in the server, building the first port, the first lighthouse, and the single greatest bridge the server has ever seen, Empire Bridge. We also started (but unfortunately never finished) the first colosseum in the server, but Dobs21 beat us to it. At one point we also had the single-most-visited city in the server.

It pains me to say it, however I must be frank. I am leaving the server. I have started my own server and just do not have the time to remain on MineTown and run a server at the same time. As for the whole of the Empire: it has all been left in the care of someone whom I know for a fact is one of the greatest people on the server. He currently runs the most visited city in the server, Hyrule. BROLY MAXIMUM is now in charge of the whole of the Empire, including its territories, bridges, projects, etc. I'd like to take this time to say my goodbye will not be forever. I will be back eventually, if only fleetingly. Upon my return, I will still head the city of Angelia, be able to start and finish any projects I see fit, sell land, buy land, etc. I will miss everyone whom I have come to know as a friend on this glorious server. Goodbye everyone. If you feel so inclined to see my server, you must download Hamachi 2 (https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi2/download.aspx) and when asked to join, type Minecraft816 there is no password. Once joined, the server IP is 5.180.93.55 (:25565 if you can't connect). Hope to see you there, and goodbye everyone.

*END HELPFUL INFORMATION*

The Angelian Empire's Rules and Regulations

1) No Griefing - We work hard to build our cities, buildings, homes, and monuments: please do not destroy them. Destroying any will result in a report and a kick from all cities within the empire.

2) No Stealing - Materials are hard to come by nowadays! Please leave other peoples' stuff alone! If you are caught stealing, it will result in punishment and temporary expulsion from the Empire.*

3) No Building without Permission - Our cities are lavish and extravagant, however we do not want random houses popping up without our knowledge, clear it with me before building.

4) Insults will NOT be tolerated! If an argument persists long enough and too many insults get thrown, or if insults become derogatory or vile or otherwise awful, you will be reported and kicked from all cities in the Empire.

5) Houses must be realistic and only built on the lot provided, leaving a one block border.** Houses must also have a pathway that matches the road-tile (Gold, Rock, Diamond, Cobblestone, Iron, etc.)

6) Mines are NOT to be constructed within a city, in the outskirts, it is permitted, however you must clear it up with me first.

7) The city walls do NOT determine the border of the city, they are merely there to show the City Square or act as a temporary indicator that a city is being built..

8 ) City Walls must be built from cobblestone or rock and have no more than four entrances, along with a road or water connection with its neighboring cities.

9) If a city is close to water, there must be a port and a lighthouse.***

*You will be allowed back after a testing period and a guarantee that you will not steal again. Violation a second time will result in permanent ban from the Empire

**If you are building within a city, buildings must be next to each other to conserve space, so the border rule does not apply here.

***Lighthouses are NOT 1-Block towers with lights; they are CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED monuments, with a way to get to the top, with many torches and an Electric Beacon-light on the very top.
