Yeah, Outpost 2 (910, -910) is awesome. It's a smidgen under 1 day SE of the city. All outposts will be within 1 day's safe travel from either the city or another outpost.
It's really nice to see how fast structures go up, and you can almost feel the outpost living within 2 days of construction. Once the iConomy refunds are done, I'm going to build a guildhall in the city, so we have a place to congregate other than the town hall reception area

Each outpost will have an overseer. RetroCorn is overseer for Outpost 2.
Anyway, I'm in the wonderful situation of having all of tomorrow's, Monday's and Tuesday's lectures cancelled, so
more time for Minecraft! I'm stealing a long weekend to stay with the significant other. I'll be back in action on Tuesday night.
