Admin Tower
The Admin Tower is the center for all activities of the Refuge. It is 30 floors, or approximately 350 feet, tall and 100 feet in diameter.
Floor Plan
The Tower's floor plan is very simple in nature. The center of the tower is dominated by a large rotunda (~50 ft in diameter). A visitor can look straight up and see the ceiling of the Tower. All the floors are composed of 'rings' stacked on top of each other. Ornate iron railings fill the space between the pillars holding up the inside of the building.
All this is augmented by a dim yellow light filtering down from lamps mounted on the support pillars.
Underground
The underground area of the Admin Tower contains, among other things, the dungeons, the storage area of the SimpleBots, and the core energy well of the Refuge. The Dump is also in the basement.
First Floor
The first floor is the only area open to the general public. It is dominated by the Mod Board, as well as the rotunda.
This rotunda is dug down to create a depression several feet deep. The depression is filled with various flora, as well as chairs and couches where anyone, member or not can just sit and relax.
Second Floor
Directly above the ring-shaped Mod Board is the fabled Administrative Discussion Board. Accessible only by Admins, the board is rumored to hold great power. No Admins have either affirmed or denied its existence, making it an enigma.
Third through Fourteenth Floors
These floors are reserved for storage. Most remain vacant.
Fifteenth Floor
The fifteenth floor is the location of the Tower's primary reactor. This reactor was damaged during the VRP Incident and has been recently repaired.
Sixteenth through Twenty-fifth Floors
These floors are reserved for the Admin Panels. These floors are the most frequented. Near the beginning of Calamity Refuge's life, w-dueck released several images of this area to the public.
Specific Floors for Admin Panel Controls are as follows:
- 16 - Main Administration News Center and Lounge: Filled with plush armchairs, any Admin or Moderator can pull up a computer and edit the news prompts in every building.
- 17 - Support Center:
- 18 - Maintenance
- 19 - Maintenance Logs
- 20 - Member control with Ban Hammer
- 21 - Interior Design
- 22 - Forum Creation
- 23 - Forum Demolition
- 24 - Configuration Controls
- 25 - Master control
Twenty-sixth through Thirtieth Floors
These floors are for Admin residences. Each Admin has his/her own floor. Very highly honored guests may receive guest apartments here, but this is rarely bestowed. w-dueck lives on the 30th floor, Jewels has called dibs on the 29th floor.
Roof
The roof is flat and is covered with arcane symbols embedded an inch into the stone of the Tower. They were originally created so w-dueck could teleport himself into another plane of existence and bring back the Themes. In more recent times, they have been modified to create a Somewhat Stable Multidimensional Transport between Refuge Isle and Ermaria.
