Congratulations on surviving the initial beach spawn, avoiding the local raptors, and punching enough trees to establish a permanent residence! However, the Board of Directors at The Island Estates Homeowners Association (IEHOA) has noticed several flagrant violations of the neighborhood bylaws on your property.
Please review this formal audit of your base setup. Failure to comply within 48 in-game hours will result in your turrets being fined and your structures being demolished by a level 150 Brontosaurus.
1. Unauthorized Apex Predators in the Driveway
Bylaw 4.2: All tames must be properly garaged or stored within a designated cryopod when not in use. Street parking of megafauna is strictly prohibited.
We understand that your newly tamed Tyrannosaurus Rex is your pride and joy. However, parking it on the communal stone pathway is a direct violation.
- The Violation: The tail is completely obstructing the mailbox of the tribe next door, and its idle roaring is violating the neighborhood quiet hours (10:00 PM to 6:00 AM).
- The Fine: 500 Cementing Paste.
- Note: Please clean up the massive, steaming piles of prehistoric feces left near the sidewalk. The Dung Beetles are on strike.
2. Non-Approved Architectural Materials (The Thatch Problem)
Bylaw 1.7: All residential structures must maintain a uniform aesthetic. Approved materials are limited to Greenhouse Glass, Reinforced Stone, or Polished Metal.
We noticed you expanded your storage area using Thatch Foundation and Walls.
- The Violation: Thatch is not an approved neighborhood material. It lowers the property value of the surrounding metal fortresses and looks entirely unpolished. Furthermore, it represents a severe fire hazard if a neighbor’s Fire Wyvern accidentally suffers a misfire.
- The Remedy: You must perform a calculated transition of your storage facility to stone or metal immediately.
3. Unpainted Defenses and Offensive Spikes
Bylaw 9.1: All automated defense systems, including Auto Turrets and Plant Species X, must be painted in neutral, community-approved earth tones.
While the Board respects your right to defend your base against Alpha Predators and griefers, your current defensive perimeter lacks grace.
- The Violation: Your metal spike walls are unpainted and rusted, giving the cul-de-sac a distinctly “primitive” look. Additionally, your Plant Species X plots are overgrown and the green glow is bleeding into your neighbor’s bedroom window.
- The Remedy: Please trim the organic turrets and apply a coat of Slate Gray or Forest Green paint to all metal defenses.
4. Unregistered Industrial Equipment
Bylaw 3.5: Industrial Forges and Chemistry Benches must be enclosed within a soundproof structure to prevent visual and noise pollution.
The thick, black smoke billowing from your open-air Industrial Forge is ruining the sunset view for the entire beach side of the grid.
- The Violation: Not only is the noise pollution disrupting the local Dodo populations, but the ambient heat is prematurely melting the snow biome decorations your neighbors put up.
- The Remedy: Build a proper, HOA-approved stone enclosure for your industrial grid.
A Friendly Reminder from the Board
We pride ourselves on maintaining a safe, clean, and prestigious environment here on the Ark. We want this community to be built on solid ground, not chaotic lawlessness.
Please submit your architectural variance forms before building your next Tek Generator.
Sincerely,
The IEHOA Board of Directors (Directly managed by Alpha Tribe “The Shimmering Enforcers”)
