! I've been avoiding the forum lately because I too have noticed the daily spammers...
just popped in to see if I could work out how long I have been playing with these monsters for but of course there was the previous forum so I will have to take a guess

There's really only one thing I like about how I did this island, and that is the clearing of the wooden stage floors so the band's guitar/whatever players could be properly up on stage. I tried to clear off the large center stage, but that big castle did not yield to crowbars, jackhammers, end loaders, or 20 sticks of dynamite. Oh well, we all live within limitations.
So the drummer and the keyboards, who all have large 'footprints', get to be just in front of center stage, while all the standup guys get to be up on the side stages. With their scrawny physiques, I can fit up to 4 of them per side stage - I don't have the full load yet, as you can see, but the breeders will be kept hummin' and the excess bushes discarded until we do have as many as I want (I do not like the 'vox' sound so he will never be hatched here). I think we will top out at 3 dudes per side.
The non-instrument-playing monsters are the roadies, so they are down close to the stages, ready to intervene in case of overly rowdy concertgoers. The Oaktopus wields a nasty solid oak billyclub, the Furcorn is a notorious ankle-biter, the Mammott can swing those extra-long arms in a wicked roundhouse punch, and the Potbelly just had a garlic and jalapeño burrito for lunch so he can stun with just one belch. Effective protection for the band, right?
The Miss Pinks on the little stages in front of the main side stages are, well, not to be sexist about it, but, they are the little young chicks all too often featured in concerts like this, shaking their bootys while the band plays on ..
I am tempted to call the band "The Jackshug Five" since they all look alike except for different colored clothes & hats, but there are going to be more than 5 so that doesn't really fit. I am open to suggestions.

I'm excited what you're going to make out of it... I found that the music doesn't quite right if I use the side stages; it would be awesome, if we could move the castle to somewhere else, and use the central stage for the band...

Guess they used too much reinforced concrete for that castle, it will not budge

Lub the story Florida! When we get the idea it's so much easier to see the creators vision. With such a small space to work with, sometimes all we see is a jumble of stuff and pass on it without understanding. And, since they have not given us monsters that fit into each of the islands...they sometimes look willy nilly and decorations ever which way...
With your tale I know exactly what I'm looking at and where you are trying to go with it...Brava! Keep posting occasionally to keep us up to date.....and have fun!
There are some find Irish Groups out there...Red and such...them Shugas being such fine upstanding subjects of the wee Isle...hummmm....

WOO HOO - Great Job. Never thought of putting the band on the bandstand.
A big "Duh" for me.
I bet you have all the S-fam by now. Think I will try changing my band & see how it looks.
Hope you don't mind a copycat.
I just added 4 mammoth trying for S-rock. Since I had room I thought 25 coins is better than no coins.

Copy cat away! The full band is here now (no Vox since I wanted all instrumental):
