Building Competitions

[TheWholeLoaf]

Im thinking about starting a building competition to bring out the best builders in the server . Anyone can join and there will be prizes of some kind. As of where this will be held, I have a few plots in a closed off part of my town where it will be.

How it will work:
     There will be a couple ppl at a time that enter and they will have a predetermined amount of time to make something amazing and meet the requirments.(See requirements bellow) I will judge the builds and possible along side a few others of my choosing. All builds that are made will have to be taken down by you after the comp. is over. The winner gets to decide if he/she would like to keep their build on the plot.

Requirements:
     Each Comp. will have a specific type of build, such as different styles( victorian, modern, greek, ranch, italian, etc.) The topic could also be different types of buildings like skysrapers, houses, offices, resturants, theaters, and so on. And also different design styles like landscaping, interior designing, the shell of a build.

Prizes:
    Prizes will most likly be money and or diamonds. I might charge a fee to enter so that I dont run out of money .


I'm doing this because i think it'd be fun to see what you guys can come up with and create and see everyone elses builds.
As of when this will begin, I'm not sure yet so stay tuned.

Leave comments below if you think this is a good idea or not.

                                Thanks,
                                Loaf



I'm also starting to write a book in-game about building. I'll probably have it in a chest near the plots if you'd like to read it. Just don't take it or I'll consider it greif since there will be a sign above it saying put this back or it's grief.

Let me know if you think that's a good idea as well

That is a good Idea

[TheWholeLoaf]

Thanks Nhataley. I'll be posting a schedule of what each comp. I'll be when it gets closer to the time this starts.

should be a fun topic 

[kagarium]

sounds cool, would love 2 join

any idea about the date/time of it? need 2 know

[TheWholeLoaf]

Not sure on the date. I'll give u plent of notice before it happens.

[Terrewee]

It might be best if you exclude any crafter from participating 
Last time there was a building competition, me and ZXFEAR participated and I was first and zx was second.
soo yeah...

[TheWholeLoaf]

I'll take into consideration the players talents. For inctance, if 2 players compete and one has been one the server for a while and has made some decent builds and the other is a crafter, I would judge it to see if both players creativity and what they designed matched their current skills.

I'll also look at passed builds to gadge their talent. Creativities the key in this process.

This sounds like fun.  Don't blacklist Crafters.  I'm not a crafter, but what's the point of a competition when you bar good builders from entering? 

What's the reward?

well the thing is, crafters are most likely to win to competition (i speak out of experience) and it might not be funt for the OTHER players if they participated...
of course i'm not forcing anything on anyone

[Interbane]

I have no desire to be a crafter.  On the other hand, I have no desire to enter the competition unless Crafters are allowed.  Raise the bar, don't lower it.   


Perhaps an entry fee, winner takes the pot.

[TheWholeLoaf]

As i said terrewee, ill take that into consideration when you compete. Everyone is allowed to participate. And there will probably be a fee to enter.

And that is a good point Interbane. Having crafters and skilled builders in the comp. will also challenge other competitors.

You shouldn't limit it to just buildings, personally i prefer 3d sculptures and just buildings would ruin it for me.

also what kinda size limit are we talking typically the better u build the bigger the builds get so as to include more details and make it look pretty.

[TheWholeLoaf]

Hmm that's a good idea. I'll put a few of those in there too. I also was thinking about putting in redstone inventions.

[TheWholeLoaf]

Btw, anyone like the book idea?
