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 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
Mobweb.
WIP
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.
Info on Dog's house & Catandis' house, warp building & StarGate Center, Deadpool statue (done), town hall, DogShop, MobFarm, the farms, apartments, uhhh I think that's it?

Mob: remember to add apartment, smithy screenshots. The mine would probably go here too
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 two pools for obtaining infinite lava and water are 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
The docks are an expansion made through the combined efforts of
DogPool_ and
Matiok_.
WIP
Needs info on boats + tidbits on contest
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.

South Loop
The South Loop is the southern section of DogTown Road. It is currently the more populated of the two loops.
WIP
[insert gallery here]
North Loop
The North Loop is the northern section of DogTown Road.
WIP
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 and
Vyrvin (
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
Watercraft Event
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
DogPool_ extended the deadline, for the final time, to February 14, 2025.

Winfield Concord
(I don't actually know anything about this other than that DogTown is mentioned once and only once on the Winfield Concord page, but I'm putting it as a section anyway so that I can remember to ask Vyrvin about it)
