Also, since I have less free time subsequent updates will likely consist of less text than before. It took me multiple hours to create each blog post, so I will be trying to reduce that amount of time. I would love to create an updated map (for multiple reasons), but that will have to wait for another update.
Coats of Paint of Many Colors!
This "week"'s is all about The Village that everyone built together! We were all very cooporative, and nobody ever broke any of the HOA rules. Okay, maybe that's not exactly what happened. As one would expect, there were a few "free thinkers" in the crowd who decided to circumvent the rules in whatever way they could find. One such example of this is AmIAnnoyNow's beautiful house of many colors. Its technicolored liquid awesome is enough to make even Joseph nauseous.
A More Reasonable Note:
Now that we got out of the way, maybe we can focus on the more reasonable houses? That seems like the sensible thing to do. I don't know about you, but nothing screams "Rustic" to me like a house with a gold and iron facade. On second thought, maybe he was going for Rust-ick. Damn, I should have been more specific on this one. Maybe that lime green wool will save his previous metals. If worse comes to worse, he can always turn his house into a giant display of steel wool. (Get it? Iron + wool --> steel wool. Oh, boy...) This house is courtesy of Ubiquitous7.
Two Strikes, No Balls:
Having cataloged the two main HOA offenders, lets take a look inside of JerodFoxx's house. As you can see from his front yard, he took the Rustic theme very seriously. Well played, chap! Look at that beautiful wheat he has growing! He built a porch and everything. The roof could arguably use some more work, but we'll let that one slide because he actually listened. Awesome. Let's go inside.
The interior of the building is as boringly rustic as you would expect. Indeed, there's small tables pushed against walls, and he has a small attic for storage space. Having roamed the house I decided to check out the basement.

Unreasonable Expectations?
In all fairness, not every home was built as a flying middle-finger to the HOA. There were a number of genuinely nice looking rustic buildings. The each building varied in complexity, but each was very uniquely styled. Eugl built a beautiful Roman Apartments complex; Le_Girl built a quaint restaurant, and Dasnar built a country home.
Note, while Dasnar's home is nice and Rustic, the use of End Stone is a tribute to his genocidal slaughter of the last Dragon, and hundreds of Endermen. I find this akin to Ender's Game, where humans are so wrapped up in "winning"/surviving that they slaughter an entire race, and it is only years afterward where they realize their mistake. In fact, in Ender's case, society later denounces the brash actions of Ender's decisions an he becomes humanity's most infamous person.

Maybe I Mead To Unwind:
Ok, I will step down from my soapbox now. It's okay, it was just a poor misunderstood dragon. That kind of rant is something you would expect from someone who's had a few "too many" at the local pub. Wait a second,
Prior to opening the proverbial gates to the village, Le_Girl and and built the town's own little pub. Maybe I should head there to unwind before I finish writing the rest of this blog post. Awwww yeaaaah!
As with any good pub, this one is filled with witty captions and clever signs. My personal favorite is the one hidden at floor level that says "if you can read this, you've had too much" Some of the more vulgar ones have been censored, but I recommend swinging and taking a look.

For... Science!
After stopping by the ale house, I decided to make my way toward my house. On the way, I happened across NuSlayers project. As only NuSlayer can do, he showed us all 'up' by not only building a rustic styled building, but also built guards, automated doors, and topped it off with an observatory. If this was a content, his house would be win. Maybe I'm just biased by his pumpkins. Wait a second, I said no pumpkins, ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!
Screw You Guys, I'm Going Home:
Writing blog posts and critiquing people is a hard day's work. As you can see, my house [technically] fulfills all of the criteria that I set forth in the previous post. My house is quite rustic, and doesn't even include pumpkins! Let's ignore the whole "floating in the middle of the air" thing. Just wait until I attach rockets to this bad boy. To the moooooooooooooon!!!!!
Ohhhh you said Mordor:
