Sorry this is a mess lol, I'll continue editing this eventually -  Mobweb

DogTown is a town created by  DogPool_ in mid-2024, located at approximately 16424 * 5650 and neighbouring NorthernEmpires to the south. With its fairly lax building laws, openness to new members and global accessibility through the usage of /warp dogtown, 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, and players across the server visit frequently to browse the popular local DogShop (accessible via /warp dogshop).

History

I'm gonna redo this whole section later, please leave it alone for now

2024

[WIP - opening to the public - member growth - important builds]

On November 29, 2024 a Discord server dedicated to DogTown was created by  DogPool_.

On December 4, 2024 the Boat Contest was announced, initially with a deadline of January 1, 2025. though later being pushed back to the middle of February.

On December 17, 2024 the opening of the DogShop was officially announced.

2025

January 16, 2025 marks the official opening of the DogTown mine.

Districts

DogTown as of now is divided into 5 main districts, with an additional one under construction by assistant  Mobweb and several more planned for the future. These current districts are Central DogTown, Catville, the Docks, the South Loop and 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. 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  Mobweb, with a nature-themed interior, message & advertisement boards and a sign room. From left to right, the building has four exits; one leading to DogShop (see #DogShop section for details), one to the Cactus Farm, one leading underground to the StarGate Center (see #StarGate networks section for details) and one to the rest of Central DogTown. If one goes past DogShop at the left outdoor exit, they will also reach  tronitas46's DogTown Mine and the Docks, and doing a U-turn at the crossroads ahead will bring you to  Vyrvin's Town Hall.

The warp building's right outdoor exit leads to the Deadpool skin statue, built entirely out of wool by  DogPool_. The statue is 32 blocks tall and 16 blocks wide, and the interior is accessible through a set of doors at the statue's feet. In front of the Deadpool statue are the homes of  DogPool_ and  Catandis, the biggest private residences in Central DogTown.  DogPool_'s house in particular was the first building ever made in DogTown's current location and was designed & built by  JekyllorHyde, while  Catandis' house was self-made and is the larger of the two. The DogTown Apartments also sit behind  DogPool_'s house and are notable for their crescent moon shape; they were constructed by  Tesla_Ru.

Further down the path is a crossroads leading to either  HanSolo20's industrial blast furnace or  Mobweb's smithy, the latter path of which also leads to the public wheat farm and the bridge to Catville. Next to the wheat farm is a giant statue of  DogPool_ similar to the Deadpool statue, albeit without an interior, while down the bridge and just before the entrance to Catville is MobFarm (see #MobFarm section for details).

Additionally, on the opposite side of Central DogTown are DogTown Circuit, a racetrack built by  WildWilson2003, and  tronitas46's TreeFarm, an extremely large public farm for obtaining all three tree types. The latter can be accessed via /warp treefarm.

Catville

Catville was founded by  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.

As the majority of Catville is private housing, few of the buildings here are notable; there does, however, exist a community blacksmith built by  DogPool_. It contains ten furnaces for public use as well as a "community chest" where players can take and leave free resources, and a pool for obtaining infinite water is situated outside.

There is a "Guest House" built by  zFroq_ next to the shore, but no sign exists that it has ever been occupied.

The Docks

Initially constructed through the combined efforts of  DogPool_ and  Matiok_, the Docks are now home to DogTown's largest fleet of boats as well as several other watercraft, many of which were built during the 2024-2025 Watercraft Building Event (see relevant section for details). Additionally, on the hill and further around the shore are some of DogTown's tallest skyscrapers.  MorningSteph's Mezzanine Tower, constructed during the second half of 2025's February, is the tallest and widest of them all; however,  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.

The South Loop is the southern section of DogTown Road. It is currently the more populated of the two loops.

WIP: CatTown embassy, NE embassy, stadium, etc.

North Loop

The North Loop is the northern section of DogTown Road.

I'm pretty sure this connects to the road to NE; investigate that later

Governance

DogTown is governed by the resident Town Council, consisting of owner  DogPool_ and assistants  Mobweb,  tronitas46,  Vyrvin and  HanSolo20 (  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.

DogTown is not strict with building rules, with the only explicitly-defined rule being that the Council reserves the right to finish or demolish builds left untouched for over a month; however, attempts will be made to reach out to the builder beforehand and exceptions to the inactivity rule are permitted provided a good reason. There are also partial restrictions on the placement of pixel art, being that pixel art must either be relevant to the buildings surrounding it or built in a separate dedicated area. Past rules have included minimal terraforming and to please stick to the general block palette, but the latter rule has since been abolished in favour of allowing more player creativity, and whether or not the former is still in effect is unknown. Additionally, there are no particular criteria for joining the town; you only need to ask a Council member for an invite (though they may accept or deny you at their individual discretion).

Events

Watercraft Building Event

On the 4th of December, 2024,  DogPool_ announced the Boat Building Event on the RetroMC Discord, beginning the same day and initially having a deadline of 1st January, 2025. Members of DogTown were invited to build boats & ships of any size in the water next to the Docks; upon the event's conclusion, players would vote for their favourite boats, with the top three receiving cash prices. As the Docks themselves were built concurrently with the event, the three berths were given on a "first come, first serve" basis to the contest participants.

Just under two weeks after the event began, the deadline would be extended for the first time to the 1st of February. By the 12th of January, however, only one boat had been built: a single wooden plank with a sign saying "raft" on it, made as a joke entry. Participation had been otherwise non-existent on account of town members being preoccupied with holiday celebrations and other personal matters. Therefore, the decision was made to extend the deadline a second time to the 14th of February, and the rules were relaxed to allow for all types of watercraft to be entered; the event was accordingly renamed as the Watercraft Building Event.

After the aforementioned changes, several watercraft were finally built, totaling 5 entries at the building period's conclusion. Voting took place in the DogTown Discord and ran for three days between the 14th and 17th of February. Screenshots of each entry were posted in a forum thread where players would use Discord's reaction system to submit their votes. A list of entries, their builders and their final rankings can be found below.

Place	Builder	Screenshot	Prize received	Notes
1	HanSolo20		$3,000
2	tronitas46		$1,500
3	Mobweb		$500	The only entry to not be a boat (submarine)
4	punishergames		None	The only entry to claim one of the three berths; was later moved on account of the builder's permanent ban from the server
5	hoolagin6		None

Foreign relations

DogTown is currently one of RetroMC's most active towns, with  DogPool_ himself being known for assisting other players and welcoming new alliances; as a result, the town has formed lasting relationships with several other groups & settlements.

CatTown

CatTown was founded by  ArbiterGaming, and not long after its creation he would immediately declare a one-sided imaginary war against DogTown, involving at least one DogTown slander video, accusations of criminal activity, the creation of tanks (without engines or ammunition) supposedly for use against DogTown, claims of planting CatTown spies in the Town Council, and threats to destroy all of DogTown. Despite this,  DogPool_ and  ArbiterGaming are both members of each other's towns and have built each other thematic animal-shaped embassies. Additionally,  ArbiterGaming has provided DogTown with mushroom removal services.

CannonParty

CannonParty was founded as the result of a mass TNT detonation event, in which two members of DogTown's council took part:  Mobweb and  DogPool_. The two towns therefore have a positive relationship by nature, despite not having an officially declared alliance.
