read it again, that is for the next expedition so that the games population of pretend raiders that can not successfully breach a statue even with the aid of cannons after me or someone like me grabs one they do not sit around and ***** for a year again. the part of the post relevant to popham was that after january first the statues "might" be ported into town.
Also for the record its been another couple months since the map was released to the statues and nobody has ended the expedition yet. Going forward we are leaning towards the following server ending encouragement.
#1: Server Launches -> Map of Server provided with statue locations for great off-the-start conflict.
#2: Few months in, Alternative win condition added (ark or equivalent)
#3: Few months later, Statues begin nuking their surrounding map grids.
#4: 1+ Year. Statues Animate and begin moving to town.
In the case of Popham. We reserve the right to animate the statues and have them march to center of town in 2017.. Fair warning.
the post says statue locs may be common knowledge this time, 3 - 4 months in an ark is added, 6 - 8 months in statues destroy structures within their grid ( which is incredibly stupid and allows for someone that does not deserve to win to potentially win, but whatever
) and then the statues plopped in town thing.
