Talk:Civilized Highway Society

Very impressive so far. I can't formally commit any of my characters to this group, but I will attempt to assist in maintaining any roads that I happen across. --Lint 21:02, 16 April 2006 (BST)

Any effort to build roads will increase trade and prosperity. My company definately encourages this. --Lord Shade 21:38, 16 April 2006 (BST)

I'm exited to find a clan that shares the same goals as me, i'm already 5 days into the Durham York road, and i've cleared about 40ish paces, with the road being 2 paces wide, to minimise the effect of plant growth. I would much like to join your Society. --Sling484 11:57, 17 April 2006 (GMT)

• Please, feel free to add your name to the list of members at the bottom of the main page. My character is way over on the other side of the island right now, as I was making my way to Derby when I happened on this idea. I think I'll make my way back to York and assist you. A 2-pace wide road... excellent idea!! --VTBassMatt 13:56, 17 April 2006 (BST)

Speaking of roads, I have found an interesting path up the side of a mountain. It starts at [-70.364,+26.432] and I don't know where it ends. I hope to sometime, but I say this, I think this route should be of some interest to the Civilized Highway Society. I have even found a cave with a tunnel network that starts at [-70.368,+26.442]. It has the potential to cut through the mountain. Sadly, I am on a trade mission and cannot explore the mountain fully. Can someone of explorer's ilk go take a look? And while i'm at it... can it be called the Jack Spalding Trail? --Lord Shade 19:58, 17 April 2006 (MST)

• This tunnel would be of great interest to the Society... I had heard rumors of it before, but you are the first to present its precise coordinates. I, too, am unable to do anything about it for the moment, but hopefully someone will follow up.

• Still not at the end of the road. Had to hack through a few bushes, but it looks like the path was cleared enough to walk through before, so I think the natives have used it before. It is a bit twisty turny, so I don't think it is the most efficient route. However, I have not seen an animal, much less a hostile one, since I went on the mountain trail, and no natives have attacked me up there. Though this may change, it looks like this route is more secure. Who knows, maybe some day i'll contribute to your society by clearing it out... or at least mapping it. Problem is, I need exploration and cartography and it is not priority right now. --Lord Shade 22:48, 18 April 2006 (MST)

• Exciting news! I found another entrance to the mountain path! It's at [-70.382,+26.479], where the road takes on a westerly direction. And the best part of it is... that's not the end of it! There is still more. However, I must urgently get back to my trade mission, so I will head north into the jungle. But these last few days had such exciting discoveries. I am glad to be a part of it. --Lord Shade 08:35 , 19 April 2006 (MST)

• The mountain path seems to go almost all around, from the north entrance all the way west, then south and east to the exit west of the waterfall, don't venture into the caverns if you don't have a paper to write your movements, I had a native lost in there for two whole days. LOL --El Pirata Cofresi 16:07, 19 April 2006 (BST)

I'm working on the Derby Direct, would it not be easier to that connect that to Wiksik? instead of the current Wiksik-Derby? Easier to maintain also. --El Pirata Cofresi 19:35, 18 April 2006 (BST)

• Anyone? --El Pirata Cofresi 16:07, 19 April 2006 (BST)
  • Yes, that's probably easier... the only reason I've included the W-D path is that it already exists! I'll add a spur from Derby Direct up to Wiksik as a secondary path. Thanks!!
    • Good, already working on it. With a native character to boot. --El Pirata Cofresi 21:24, 19 April 2006 (BST)
