Seems there are plenty of monsterology options currenlty.  I do not think there is a need to open these.  However, there is some value to joining the two parts of the island.  By connecting the two parts of the island we give access to the the temple and the marketplace that we cannot get unless we sail.  Either way there should only be 2 targets one for south side splatters and north side splatters.  So lets get a consensus on the 2 targets and get to work!

That is my thought on it.

*** will go with either option 1 or 2.

Lucy

a discussion thread good idea jason, anyways here goes
1. i vote for 

option 4

 (78k square) that opens up the 3 monstalogy square as a growing monstalogist im going to be getting my exp. off of monstalogy so its more useful for the monstalogist if this square is cleared.

2.come on there's only 78k left lets just clear it!! plus there's less monsters on this square than any of the ones we're targating now and it'll make the south part of TA look a little better with it cleared;)

i know we're going to have to clear north anyways to clear the island but we're targeting north to make a land bridge which at the moment it seems pointless to me this is all the more reason for us to focus on building the teleport gate but thats just my opion and im not really convinsted there are no more building to be built up north should'nt there be a cc up there? anyways i think we should go for the squares with the less monsters on them so again my vote goes for the 78k square.

4

4.  Unless the collective has removed sacred status from the available squares, there are a number of monsters with no available home at this point.  Which squares are sacred now?

For precision: An army of 77999 monsters is awaiting you towards north.

So why not make the south target the monserology square and the north target the attack south on the land bridge.

We have had 2 targets fr months now and that has seemed to work well.

As I said in [url=

]my attempt to start this dialogue

/url], Callum and his cohorts will be working on clearing the "land bridge" between the two cities from the north.  Nothing I have heard so far has even come close to changing that intention.

my turn for input.  i didn't want to put my opinions in my original email, so that others could say what they want first.  this thread is still open for discussion til some time tomorrow evening, but here goes my thoughts...

my personal preference would be monstalogy squares... both of them.  of course, that's because i'm big into monstalogy.  and the more that open, the more first-releases (and therefore more xp's) i get.

but of course i know monstalogy squares are only useful to a small handful of the larkinor crowd.  even so, what's the point in opening the land bridge, when the teleport gate will be built in under a month, and it'll take over 7 months to make the land bridge?  so it seems there's not much point to open that either.

however, it's rumoured that the telegate will be "costly" (whether hp's, money, or other stuff, we can only guess right now).  and because of that, there might be a handful... there might be a majority... who will opt for walking instead of teleporting when both are available... we can only guess.  and because of that, then it might be useful to open the bridge.

so now we're back to all four... or are we?  it seems most who want the land bridge want to fight from the north.  (probably realizing that with a lvl 2+ boat, it's more click-conscious  to fight from there, not the south).  and most who have suggested monstalogy squares want the one in the south (and rightly so, because it opens 3 squares instead of just 2).  and to add to both of those, the two squares suggested by jag match the two i just referred to, and those are the two blocks with the fewest monsters.

it *seems* most so far are in a general consensus with this.  but i fully expect more people to have other opinions in opposition, so we can try again to accommodate as many people's wishes as possible, while still working together on as few blocks as possible (so we seem them cleared somewhat regularly... instead of waiting 4 months while 4 or 5 blocks get cleared all at the same time.  this way we see progress).

--jason... finished his next novel :p

the above two suggested squares have been marked on larkiguide.  now, if you want to fight in north, or south... if to clear a path between north and south, or clear a monstalogy square... everyone has a target.  i would suggest a race, but i think most big splatters are hitting the land bridge, so it'd be somewhat unfair.
--jason

as an update... the two previously targeted squares (south monstalogy, north land bridge) are now cleared.  there is no current 'monstalogy square' waiting to be opened in the south, but the one in the north is now being targetted (was one of the rejected ones from the initial four options).  the south end of the land bridge is now targetted (again, a rejected of the initial four).  and the north end of the land bridge has the next square now being targetted.  see the map on larkiguide if i didn't make any sense at all.
--jason

I myself whenever i do splat will be working on the land bridge.To connect the north and the south together without the use of the telegate.And another thought to throw at everyone there is 1 square in the south that will open 2 monstaligy squares.My monstaligist may work on this square while my fighters work on the land bridge.

Flossy

there is a square being targeted in the north already flossy, where it opens 2 monstalogy squares.  and the count there is much lower than the one in the south.  if we concentrate on that one (for those who want a monstalogy square), then we will have more new monstalogy squares earlier.  and once that is clear, we can target the one in the south.
and for anyone who has a lvl 2 boat or higher, the one in the north actually takes less clicks to get to... in case that matters to anyone.
--jason

I recon the north most square, that way we can hopefully uncover a bank, and/or general store

our best resources (hungarian player sites, people who play the hungarian game, and rumours seemingly passed down from higher authorities) seem to indicate there is likely nothing to build under the northmost square.  of course, we could be wrong.  but probability indicates that we are likely all done with the construction toplist, and have nothing left to build on TA.
--jason

There are several of us that have sent messages asking for some feedback on further building ideas.  No replay as of yet.

Still working on the land bridge from the North heading South.

As of this posting we are at 102,500.

Calling all splatters come help us clear this block!

An army of 119944 monsters is awaiting you towards west.
An army of 108247 monsters is awaiting you towards east.
An army of 

80000

 monsters is awaiting you towards south.
casinofreak has done 1200 splat on this square in the last two days.

You've eliminated 70000 monsters already!



Pelo working on the land bridge

An army of 119729 monsters is awaiting you towards west.
An army of 

67000

 monsters is awaiting you towards north.

The other side of the land bridge.

I think it would be fun to have a race to see which block, north or south, of the land bridge gets done first.  There pretty much close, south has about 15000 less than north but I think more splatters go north.  Just a stupid idea.

splattin up north

> think it would be fun to have a race to see which block, north or south, of the land bridge gets done first

all you had to do was ask.  i think it's time for a race too... i'll make a new thread for it.
