Just an advice for recruits, take your time to make something good. Check some accepted applications and try to find out for yourself what is expected of you. If you think you can't make things like that, don't give up, keep challenging yourself, think big. One awesome thing is much better then a hundred mediocre ones. Quality is valued highly over quantity here. Some things I personally think are very important are detail and originality. It doesn't matter if you supersize that mariosprite or that pyramid, if there is no extra detail. Also, don't expect that applying for the fifth time will get you through because of pity, because we want our quality. Maybe you are just not meant to be a builder, if you think that's the case, then go and cry in a corner. If you are desperate to get it, be prepared to put some time in it.

Yes, but dont simply STEAL the ideas that are on there. Be creative and original with your work!

Oh, another important tip for those that want to become Builder (or at least an existing tip that needs better clarification):

[Edit] Use the time that is given to you (and more if you need) to build things of good quality and TAKE YOUR TIME on your builds. You don't want to rush through anything, or else that would make for a bad application. Not only does this help reduce application cluttering/ spam, but it also gives you a window of opportunity to build a great many things

As Builder Applications are no longer being overviewed for Trials, you will need to spend more time on your builds to make them look good-- both on the outside and inside. Empty builds are considered incomplete builds, so add as much internal detail as you can.
