Riding around MarClair Village while clog-dancing and wearing a watermerlon hat by Enjah.

I've been keeping an eye on the 512 near me - just over the Bolinas line. It was an abandonned build (someone joined then left), and I could see it was being prepared to be sold as First Land. Yesterday it was released and was immediately bought by a man who is a genuine new player (not an alt of an old player). I IMed him to say hello, then today went over and talked to him for a bit. He seems ok - more interesting than most - at least he has no intention of flattening the hill, which 9 out of 10 players do, it seems. In a world where you can build without load-bearing issues, gravity concerns, or even a need to keep any part of the build on the ground, it surprises me no end that the common first move is to completely flatten the ground because "it's easier to build on."
