Stronghold Building Contest - 3rd of October

[Clavus]

UPDATE: The contest is now over! Thanks everyone who participated!

The contest map can be downloaded here.

STRONGHOLD BUILDING CONTEST

On Monday, October 3rd, the Minecraft server will start a new map but this time in Creative mode! The Factions plugin will still be used to secure building sites. The contest will run until Sunday 9th.

The contest

Build the most adventure-worthy stronghold! A place which any adventurer wants to explore, fight battles, or solve puzzles in. Your creation will be judged on scale, detail, aesthetics, uniqueness, and adventure-worthiness. Bonus points for amazing redstone mechanics, environment detail, and anything else that'll make your structure more awesome.

The rules

• Only claim Faction area that you require to build.
  
• Do not interfere with the creations of other contestants in any way. It's best if everyone spreads out a bit so you have space to build.
  
• You can work on the same structure with multiple people, but you'll have to split the prize.
  
• Contest ends Sunday 9th of October at 23:59..
  
• TO SUBMIT YOUR CREATION, reply to this topic.
  

Failing to follow any of these rules will get you disqualified and banned from the server for the remainder of the contest.

The prizes

1st place: A Steam game worth 40 euros and 10000 Green-Coins.

2nd place: A Steam game worth 20 euros and 5000 Green-Coins.

3rd place: A Steam game worth 10 euros and 1000 Green-Coins.

(for those who don't know, Green-Coins are a community currency that can be used on our MTA, TF2 and GMod servers)

Hm. Ive been wanting to build large fuckwin structures again. I may do this.

[Clavus]

Will the map come back? (After the contest)

Probably, depends on 1.9 release.

[TheGreenGrasshopper]

I'M IN ON THIS ON, better start drawing out a plan in single player, create some sort of story, mazes puzzles etc

[Clavus]

Also I will probably configure Factions so that you can only build within faction territory, and all faction territory will be required to be adjacent. Creeper and TNT explosions will be disabled.

[MrZunz]

but that means you can only build on 8 chunks?

I hope we get a huuuge map, and as zunz said, only 8chunks? I don't know, it might be enough, but it might as well not be.

[Pufulet]

This looks good. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/612077-epic-minecraft-18-seed-professor-layton/

Hmm is teambuilding allowed? (is it allowed to build the stronghold with the full RealisM faction?)

If you read clavus' post you would find out.

[Clavus]

People will be more chunks to build on, 10 or 12. Obviously having more people in a Faction will allow you to build bigger things. But that'll be taken into account when judging.

[TheGreenGrasshopper]

problem is the splitting the prize money when you're in a faction I think

[Pufulet]

Using a cetain texture pack might change people opinions as well. Would a rule have to be to use classic?

You have to post screenshots right?

[Clavus]

We'll be judging using the default texture pack.

Let the map man, just download a multi-world plugin for PVP world and Creative world?

[Dr.Minky]

Damn, I wish we could use what we've built already haha our base is coming along VERY nicely!

This sounds good, ill draw up some schematics.

Oh and don't reset the map after 1.9... It'd be a big waste, it updates the map to 1.9 things anyway. Cant wait for a nether reset though

That might actually be a good idea, at the spawn there could be a sign to teleport to the creative mode world (I have seen this on other servers but not with creative mode) And the other people can still raid and build their bases on the factionwars server..

The server being as laggy as it is, can we honestly even think about running multiple maps at the same time? Also, this would most likely result in people dragging stuff from the creative world to the faction wars.

Didt think of that

[EmRA]

So the server would have to run two worlds and two nethers? Sounds laggy.

[Clavus]

We're not going to run multiple maps. The entire server will move to Creative for the week of the contest.

[Ornom0n]

Are we going to go back to faction wars after the competition is over? If so, are we going to use current map or are we going for a new one?
