Mk. I
A noob castle constructed in Spawn when thesprazzzler was bored in around twenty minutes. Enlisted questionably enthusiastic help of theschlozmeister, ardoom1, and Reseres. Contains noobish elements such as sudden drops, weird hollowed out areas, mismatching styles, off centred roofs, and many more. Solicited the help of still unnamed new player, who logged off soon after, never to be seen again.
Mk. II
The Admins removed Mk. I sometime towards the end of 2020, in line with spawn guidelines concerning the quality of builds within the managed Spawn Wall. thesprazzzler and theschlozmeister, astounded by the Admins' insensitivity to the artistic crusade of the Neo-Noob movement and the accompanying intrinsic quality and heritage attached to such a build, and therefore its theoretical exemption from such build quality guidelines, set upon a revamped, reconsidered, and renewed iteration of their once grand seat in the core of Freedonia.
Drawing upon their affinity for 
xanderstrike's historic first home and the essence of early Freedonian building harboured within, they produced Mk. II within a time frame of around thirty minutes on 3rd February 2021, an ode to the robust and functional qualities of builds seen in the early explorers of Freedonia's yet-inhabited lands in a manner not without the remonstrative motivation against the Admins censorship of such a fine example and preservation of Freedonia's hallmark build style. An added benefit of Freedonia's infamous yet charming biome obfuscation is a brilliant green hue of jungle biome grass, seen on the Tor upon which the Castle is built, and reminiscent of the occasionally garish texture found within Alpha versions of the game.
Castle Noob is a plucky yet enduring outpost amongst the increasingly soulless and sterile landscape within the Spawn Wall. Therefore, we arrive at a build communicating an enduring moral dilemma, the clashing of ideals between preserving legacy builds of a bygone architectural era, and the nefarious removal of legacy builds to allow modern structures to 'push forward' the continually changing face of the Spawn area - such builds that will lack this most Neo-Noob of qualities. The changing face of Spawn will always be the case; an evolving landscape at the heart of Freedonia is one of its most wonderful and admirable qualities. Castle Noob appeals to that same fluid nature of Spawn and asks for preservation of its most unique and defining characteristic - the very history upon which the vibrant nucleus of Freedonia is built.
