Good luck mining out 600 chunks. I'd be surprised if you finished before 2016.
It should actually be about 900 chunks.

Radius of 240 blocks (assuming this isn't also a typo, and not diameter) would be 480 blocks diameter. 480 x 480, or 30x30 chunks: -- chunks. This math seems wrong.

Fixing my math, this is right.

Fucked up 6x6...

New math: Every 96 blocks in width and height chunks is = to 36 chunks. 96x5 is 480. Each row of 96 blocks times 480 blocks is equal to 36x5 which is 180. Five rows of 180 is 900.

Okay. I was right the first time. Edits in bold lol

Also, going on just blocks, a 480x480B region is, in 2D, 230,400 Blocks. Assuming you started at 64Y, and worked down to 4Y (60B height), you're looking at: 13,824,000 Blocks. Using raw, unenchanted diamond pickaxes you'd need about: 8,850 Diamond Pickaxes.

With an average of 6144 uses on UBR III Diamond picks, you'd still need: 2,250 Diamond UBR III Diamond Pickaxes.

This is an impossible task, do not attempt it, find something better to do because ultimately doing what a world editor can do in five minutes is not impressive. Sorry to be harsh but it's the truth.

Time taken to create =/= skill and does not impress.

first i am doing that and my project is starting to get pretty, then this town will be made without w.e. and THAT will be impressive and you have to calculate that im not alone working on that project. Also if you have something more impressive to show me im "toute oui" to see that

Welp. I'll be in a colony on Mars by then so I'll just have to miss out on the final product. :(

You can ask any of the old members just how much water my opinion holds; the excavation of a ton of chunks isn't impressive in the slightest. The best builders work with the terrain to at least some extent, or recreate it in super-natural ways. I was pointing out that such calculations were not favorable for those wishing to create something worth-while.

Trust me, I've got a reputation among the veterans for the real "go big or go home mentality" and to be honest, not everything super-massive is that great. If I had the passion, I'd SHOW you, but all I've got is a multi-year old resume on imgur.

I'd have SS of my more incredible work but after losing my HardDrives a month or so ago I don't have anything left. When I get around to the risky recovery I will (unless Fizz actually has a copy of the map somewhere in the database). Since you asked, here's some old garbage I did: http://imgur.com/a/e0wqB and http://imgur.com/a/93Ax8 and I also did this on another server whenever I had a little free time: http://imgur.com/a/WWH3O.

I've done a more than just that little bit, but with loss of data that's about all I've got documented. Now, I don't doubt it may look "beautiful" but until you complete it I stand by what I said to the extent of the parameters in which I based it on.

"The best builders work with the terrain to at least some extent, or recreate it in super-natural ways" thats the idea actualy, im not just going to clear out stone and say its a town you depressive dude that doesnt belive in my project, and in 2 month it will be done or very close to done, i dont know what is your talents in creating towns but your imgur picture looks very W.E to me and i dont use it cause there is nothing to be proud of >BUILDING< im a town builder not an simple architech, all my designe have been very apreciated from my felow veteran on this server, that i have been playing on for now 5 years without even knowing WHO YOU DAMN ARE?!

If you've been here for five years, and don't know who Niko is...You seriously haven't been paying attention. The build he showed above, had a FOUNDATION of WE, aka the landscaping and etc. When in actuality, most of it was done by hand. Hell, I should know...I helped build the fuckin' thing. The tree, well, that's obvious WE, but there's only so much you can do by hand.

Either way, let's stop the argument here before it gets out of hand..

You missed my point, completely. Naturally, those too focused on being defensive are often blinded to the fact that there was never really an offensive. I said that, based on the assumption you've left most of us, just clearing land isn't remotely impressive. You agreed. So there, done, you agreed with me, yet I'm wrong? That makes you wrong too. I work in World Edit because it's faster, not because I'm not adept at building in survival. That's what one of those galleries is for. You should note, Mr. FIVE YEARS, that I've been around longer than you have, and I've been responsible for many creations here in MMC as well as some things most didn't know about because it was decided not to use them.

I was one of the first people (not saying I'm the first, lol!) to make a TOWN in this server anyways. Way back in the good old BETA 1.8 days. Then after reset, I made another. And another. And another. And another. I've made more towns on this server than half the users on here, but I don't galavanting around saying it makes me great. No, my ability to DESIGN and CREATE makes me great, as does all other dedicated Minecrafter. I haven't judged a thing you've made, only given you logistical advice on the impracticalities of a mammoth task with little reason to carry it out. Either change your goal or change your linguistics, because if it's going to take you two months to do it either you've got thousands of diamonds and plenty of EXP to enchant, or you're not being completely clear as to EXACTLY what it is you're doing.

So please, enlighten me, because if you want to truly know if you're good, I'm one step in the right direction. I'm a fuck mothering Architect, and I placed a lot of blocks to get this title. I deserve to be called as such. (HellsingAbridgedReferencelol)
