'''DogTown''' is a town created and owned by {{user|DogPool_}}. Upon it's creation in August, it was long restricted from public and hasn't seen much growth. In September though, things have turned around and the town began expanding rapidly both in members and builds. [update paragraph?]
'''DogTown''' is a town created by {{user|DogPool_}} in mid-2024, located at approximately <code>16424 * 5650</code> and neighbouring [[NorthernEmpires]] to the south. With its fairly lax building laws, openness to new members and global accessibility through the usage of <code>/warp dogtown</code>, DogTown has developed one of the higher member counts on the server; in reality, however, the majority of these players are inactive or have directed their efforts elsewhere. Regardless, DogTown retains a small but dedicated community of builders.

==Places==
==Districts==
DogTown as of now is divided into 5 main districts, with an additional one under construction by assistant {{user-nonwiki|Mobweb}} and several more planned for the future. These current districts are Central DogTown, Catville, the Docks, the North Loop and the South Loop.
 
===Central DogTown===
'''Central DogTown''' is (as the name implies) the center of DogTown, sitting between the two sections of DogTown Road and bordering Catville to the left. It is built around a large central lake, with most buildings and roads either sitting on the cliffs overlooking it or on top of the water itself. Most builds here follow a rustic theme and are composed of four primary materials: planks, spruce logs, cobblestone and bricks.
 
Both the village spawn and the global warp are situated here. While the village spawn is a simple roofed shelter above the original DogTown docks, the warp has its own building built by {{user-nonwiki|Mobweb}}.

===Catville===
'''Catville''' was founded by {{user-nonwiki|domin0semployee}} (now inactive) on the 17th of October, 2024. It is similar in building style to Central DogTown, but is built primarily on solid land and has a much higher number of houses. It is also connected to the North Loop.

Central DogTown

Central DogTown is (as the name implies) the center of DogTown, sitting between the two sections of DogTown Road and bordering Catville to the left. It is built around a large central lake, with most buildings and roads either sitting on the cliffs overlooking it or on top of the water itself.

Catville

Catville was founded by 16.png domin0semployee (now inactive) on the 17th of October, 2024. It is similar in building style to Central DogTown, but is built primarily on solid land and has a much higher number of houses. It is also connected to the North Loop.

Additionally, on the hill and further around the shore are some of DogTown's tallest skyscrapers. 16.png MorningSteph's Mezzanine Tower, constructed during the second half of 2025's February, is the tallest and widest of them all; however, 16.png Tesla_Ru's waterfall skyscraper is also notable for the fact that it entirely lacks an interior.

Not to be confused with the "DogTown Docks" listed on the StarGate network, which are located in Central DogTown and aren't actually docks.

Governance

DogTown is governed by the resident Town Council, consisting of owner 16.png DogPool_ and assistants 16.png Mobweb, 16.png tronitas46 and 16.png Vyrvin ( 16.png JekyllorHyde is assistant in title alone due to his inactivity). Council duties primarily revolve around claim expansions, community management (such as the hosting of contests), and the planning of future districts and public works projects. Though the Town Hall exists as a meeting place for the Council, it is largely symbolic and the majority of planning is conducted through either in-game chat or the DogTown Discord.

Though the laws have not been clearly defined over time, the general agreement is that the only rule when it comes to building is to finish what you start, or else risk having someone complete it for you. Past rules have included minimal terraforming and to please stick to the general block palette, but with several projects since having violated these rules without consequence (such as Mezzanine Tower), it is unknown whether they are still in effect. Additionally, there are no particular criteria for joining the town; you only need to ask a Council member for an invite.

Events

Boat Contest

This needs updating On December 4, 2024 the DogTown Boat Contest was launched, with the stated goal being to increase the number of boats in the harbor. Participants are to submit pictures of their boats on Discord, where voting will take place. Those players whose boats are voted first, second, and third place will receive a cash prize of $3000, $1500, and $500 respectively.

The deadline was initially set as January 1, 2025. It was extended to February 1, 2025 on December 17, 2024.

By early January 2025, only one entry, consisting of a single wooden plank with a sign simply stating "raft", had been completed. In order to increase participation, the rules were relaxed to include all types of watercraft.

On January 12, 2025 16.png DogPool_ extended the deadline, for the final time, to February 14, 2025.

Foreign Relations

Probably redoing this too

DogTown has friendly relations with the neighboring NorthernEmpires. The two villages have agreed to construct a direct road connection, which as of January 2025 is currently under construction.
