Operator (Personalized) Standards for promoting Recruits

<< < (2/5) > >>

gavin1928374655:
I often find myself reviewing a guest/member's builld while an op is busy (or not on).

Here is the system I use. This system will be somewhat similar to an idea I had for an event that I pmed relkeb about. Hopefully you guys will be able to see that soon, anyway here it is.

General Standards
As alpha said; if the person built a box house or a small rectangular box I will immediately tell them about our high standards and how they need to work on making it  bigger. (and I tell them they need more exterior detail). If the player uses shapes (any kind really. circles, angles etc..) then I will be more inclined to give them a positive rating and perhaps even call an op over to see it.

Houses
Exterior detail- The boring one block exterior i see on most guest houses is overused and unoriginal. I tell the guest to use different block in the walls of the house making it look original and unique.

Beds- If the guest has a bed then that is a surprise to me, lots of guests build the outside of a house and consider it done, really any kind of bed will make me happy.

Lights- chandeliers

Kitchen/ eating areas- If they have a kitchen then this means they probably have different rooms. This is good. The eating areas themselves are easy.  table with chairs, if the guest fail to deliver this than "points" off.

Furniture- as long as some furniture is placed around the house, that is a good start.

Interior design- if the guest does not have any interior design matching the outside's theme then I will tell them to add some. Interior design makes the house look better.

Garden- This is needed. Houses with gardens and patios around them look much nicer than a normal house.

Pool- Meh, i dont really care about the pool.

Roof- must have. No box/pyramid. Maybe start off with a pyramid and end with a balcony.


Creative Builds

As alpha said I will immediately turn down a creeper or a pyramid.

I also turn down "statues" of steve (most statues I see don't even have proper dimensions).

If the build does not suck and is original then I am likely to rate it positively.


Sprites

Sprites have to be "mrmonkey" good to be ranked. I have never seen someone ranked by sprites. Most of the sprites I see are small faces or figures.

Assisting Players

Solo-What is expected from me normally.

Duet- Kinda harder. I expect to see good teamwork and a highly impressing build.

Triplet-Nope, it would have to be out of this world incredible.

Quadruplet- No way any guest is gonna be able to build this good.

Wratkie:
These standards do seem quite strict for a recruit, definitely good for a builder quality build though.
we aren't trying to keep less skilled players out, we want everyone to be able to have fun. If a player obviously doesn't deserve recruit have him keep trying, also even if his builds aren't that good at all but he's tried hard, put a few days into trying and being friendly with the community, then I feel he or she is worthy of recruit. Recruit isn't necessarily a building rank like Builder and Crafter. But on the building aspect you do need standards just not this high. I've promoted for a few "fair" looking builds if one build doesn't do it for a player.

This is basically what I was trying to say, summed up into 1 paragraph.

HammondsBen :):
I go "hmm thats recruit quality" or "hmm thats no recruit quality"

Alpha_Lance:
As bad as you make my personal standards sound. It has still turned out rather well for the most part, as many of the players I promote either have already known how to build awesome stuff or they learned by actually trying to be creative; some getting advice, others going to recruit/builder worlds to view all of our work.

Recruit rank should be something you earn and when you have earned it, you have the tools you require to go for Builder.

As "harsh" as any of this sounds, it is not intended to be. Not to mention majority of the active Operators have been reviewing with roughly these standards anyway. If it was different then my post would of most likely been different since some of my standards are from watching how other ops review builds.

- By the way, this thread is not meant to be strict, it's simply "personal" standards. Not "set" standards as Clawstriders been getting sideways about and I requested other ops to post their own standards.
