Metropolis structures?

Post by Ugly Dougly » Mon Jan 04, 2010 9:57 am

What you gots planned for your theme camp structures that would take BRC from a tent city to a booming megalopolis as suggested by the theme?

Shall we brainstorm?

The way buildings would regenerate and reconfigure themselves overnight in the film Dark City would be perfect for MVs.

Imagine similarly constructed MVs constantly reconfiguring the playa metropolis. They already do that to a large extent.

I want to see a Pyramid. If I wasn't coming from Georgia, I'd probably just build one myself.

Just bring the blocks and a couple of UFOs.

Plenty of Nubian slaves here in CA.
