This is a full scale model of the US Capitol building, built by me (Alizée Fan) with the help of my friends on one of the SMP servers of The Ville. It is a 100% "legitimate" construction, made without op commands, /give, inventory editing, or any other form of cheat over the course of nearly 8 months. All materials were gathered through standard means available to anybody -- mining, hunting, smelting, etc. Digging the hole took around 4 months, and involved removing more than 1.35 million blocks. Early on it was slow going, just myself with a bunch of stone picks. As progress continued, more and more people came to help out, and we finished the last quarter of the digging in about a week, using diamond tools, TNT, and sheer manpower. The building took nearly another 4 months, and includes approximately 150000 blocks. It's based on blueprints of the Capitol available on the UVA website, and includes all known interior rooms, hallways, staircases, etc. Because I had to follow blue prints carefully, I did nearly all the actual construction myself, but this was only possible because of the extremely generous donations of time and materials from my many Ville friends, many of whom spent quite a few hours each week mining ore, hunting sheep, cooking slabs, and doing countless other tasks in order to keep me fully supplied.

Here is some ingame footage of Cities XL, the new city building mmo that just came out a couple of weeks ago. I have a few fairly impressive cities, and produce the most resources of any given type on the entire planet of Prosporo. But the video starts out, in my city named Office Space, which as you can guess, houses many offices, and staplers. It also has a Hi Tech Section as well. And the video finishes up with Megaplex, the Heavy Industrial capital of Prosporo. I make more than twice as much as resources as even the second place guy on the list. I will likely add another video showing Party Coast (my resort and power house) and WaterMart in a later video. But here you go folks, here is some in game footage of Cities XL. Hope you enjoy!
