Official Match Thread Season 31, Round 14: Gold City Royals vs Roys FFC at The Golden Throne

THIS IS HOW BORED.

With the Minecraft Server still down, my data is unfortunately restricted to the latest data taken at the time, in some cases even well prior to development of some areas. But here's what I can show you of the main drag leading to the Golden Throne.

Marut > Eksapilani > Hindealla > Sweet > Golden Valley > Arden Street :

Arden Street is a commercial road at the eastern and most populous (and more centralised) end of the Golden Valley suburb. It runs between Riverview Road and Gumbania Road, and hosts the main entrance to the Golden Throne arena, where the Gold City Royals are based.

The first view of Arden St does show the entire reach of the street, although it was taken before the entire Cheval estate was fleshed out with suburbia.
The second view of Arden St comes after the estate was developed, but doesn't show the full street.

There are 21 properties opening onto Arden St, including the Golden Throne's official south entrance (there are also entrances on the western and northern sides). While the properties are registered as GVArden01 thru GVArden21, this registration is based on construction and not location - they are not ordered in a neat incremental line as house numbers would be.

Apart from GVArden01 (the Golden Throne) and GVArden13 (a roadside cafe), the buildings are general-use - for either commercial or residential purposes.

If I continue to remain this bored, I will supplement this information with an image-by-image breakdown of each allotment.

I’m here, I’ll watch :)

I bought sexy new reading glasses today. I had them delivered by a pharmacy so I bought them sight unseen (forgive the pun) and was even guessing at the strength I would need (I didn't need such glasses until the recent year-ish and stolen the ones the missus used to use). Anyway they asked what kind I would like, and I just asked for something bright and potentially silly. I have women's reading glasses now, I reckon I look like Esme Watson!

Take a selfie with a gladioli in your hand.

It’s a pretty place. Needs a premiership flag on the spire.
Any word on when the servers will be back up for you?

No word yet. I did ask Chief if he could send me a snapshot copy so I could go take more up-to-date screenies/videos. He said he should be able to.

The best thing about meeting Gold City in a match thread is how there's hardly ever any Royals around to interrupt us.

I was busy yesterday day alright, and I'm busy today as well.
Actually, Sunday's not looking good either.

*, I'm too old for this busy weekend bullshit.
 
Let's continue to examine the Golden Valley suburb!

Marut > Eksapilani > Hindealla > Sweet > Golden Valley > Cheval Place :

ChevalPlace.gif


Cheval Place is a dogleg between Riverview Rd & Arden Street, bisecting (or at least secting) the "Cheval Estate" that spans a part of Punt as well as Golden Valley. It's one of the oldest streets formed in the further development of the region, after the main pre-Minecraft system. In fact, Cheval Place was built at the same time as the western portion of Arden St, and before the eastern. Cheval Place was built way back in 2018.

The only overhead image of Cheval Place (other than when under construction) pre-dates all but one of the buildings erected along it's path.

THere are 5 buildings that open onto the western side of Cheval Pl, while a couple more which are on the eastern side are not shown here due to their registration with the suburb of Punt.

2019-11-20_02.28.05.png Allotment GVCheval01 - One of two adjacent buildings that have a small footprint, but a high reach. This building reigned alone from early 2019, before the suburb was expanded.

A small back lane peeling off Arden Street's north side and trailing east to meet Market Road, Cororoo Grove forms part of the backstreets 'Throne-to-HOG Hop', a shortcut for Royals-Gumbies transit which avoids the main drags.

GumbaniaRoad.gif


One of the longest throroughfares in Sweet, Gumbania Road starts in the Expansion National Park in the far north-east, and delivers traffic through Sweet CB and further to the edge of Nou Camp where it empties into Legend Pde south of the city. The small stretch of the Road shown here forms part of the border between the suburbs of Golden Valley and Punt.

The overhead view below actually fails to capture all of the Golden Valley jurisdiction of Gumbania Rd. The more southerly section was added later when the suburb delineations changed to incorporate Cheval Estate development, and the screenshot was taken before that alteration.

2018-10-31_15.56.55.png Allotment GVGumbania01 - Bostrich's Burgers, a shope added in the comparatively very early stages of the region's development. Sits on the intersection between Gumbania Rd & Arden St.
2019-08-31_19.01.24.png Allotment GVGumbania02 - Another early addition, but plenty later than All.01, this building is squirreled between Gumbania Rd & Market Rd, on a major crossroads.
2020-03-27_10.29.09.png Allotment GVGumbania03 - If you are the type that likes no more than one tiny window onto the world, this is the home for you!
2020-03-28_13.54.27.png Allotment GVGumbania04
2020-03-28_14.20.14.png Allotment GVGumbania05
2020-03-28_17.11.33.png Allotment GVGumbania06 - A horse stabling (Minecraft equivalent of a parking lot) next to Bostrich's Burgers. Shown here with a horse, because it's the Minecraft equivalent of a thing to park.
