Now that the new map is finally here, it is time to announce the World of Minecraft Christmas build off 2012. (Which I think is the first staff run contest on SMP)
There is going to be a flat area with a series of plots made on it so that people do not need to level their own land, and so that the judges do not need to go hunting to find the entries.
People will be given creative mode for this contest, just to make sure that it is all fair, otherwise people who had been here longer would have more of a chance. This means staff can enter.
The contest will be running for 2 weeks at some point around Christmas (The start date will only be released when the contest starts). The length of the contest means that you will probably run out of things to do if you are trying to spend all of your time on that, but I am making it that long to make it more fair by allowing more people to compete, as some people will be going on holiday/spending time with their families and things like that.
There will be 2 forms of prize: All of the top 3 will get to choose a game from a list of steam games I will be posting here at a later date (if anyone does really well, they may get 2), and everyone in the top 5 will be getting different amounts of money on the server, 1st place getting the most, down to 5th getting the least.
In the next topic about it, you will get details such as: When it starts, plot size, PRIZES.
The judges have already been decided, we do not need more.
???What we want to know now, is how many people would be interested in entering??? (Please say so we can have a rough idea for how many plots)
Edited it slightly, people will be getting creative mode for the contest.
Right, this sounds like fun. Count me in
I would like to possible give this a try
Since everybody gets creative for it, staff can play right? If so then i'm in. Free steam games all the way. :)
I guess staff can join in, not sure if there are any that would help, but no using commands in it.
Count me in! im always up for a good build off :D. Aslo, can we do more than one build? And if so Can we do pixelart aswell?
As long as it fits in the area given, and each person will only be getting 1 of these areas.
Sounds cool, I'm interested in joining, but would like to know the prizes first. If they're anything good, then I'm more likely to build.
Also, If any winner has any game they want that isn't too expensive, I'll allow that too.
*Edit*
Yea im in
im in
I love the idea. No need to win anything, I will participate.
I'm already thinking of doing a spleef tournament after watching it for a while today :P
Im in!!!
Also, preregistering for the spleef tourney! ^^
Memememememememe
Can i be in?
You sure can :D
Count me in plz
I'm interested. Id love to participate if thats ok.
UPDATE- Where is the build off? I cant find it...
I know anything is allowed, but is it only building, or could we make a redstone contraption?
An interesting question, I'll try to answer that in the next topic when I come out with more information.
Count me in
Now, I must decide what to build... Can you give us the dimensions of the building area? Or is that still To-Be-Announced...
@Usoka TBA
I shall join, it would be interesting seeing all the entries, and trying to compete with 'em.
WoM sure has a lot of awesome builders.
i just hope i can redstone cause i have an idea for a build
:L sorry guys i think maybe we can do it tommorrow
its not going to happen today
Count me in!
It hasn't even started yet, today's downtime is no problem.
I can't wait! Also why is this my profile name :(
Who are you supposed to be? :O
Where is the contest? I looked almost everywhere and i cant find it.
It hasn't started yet, so you probably wont be able to find where it is yet anyway.
Me and Mets86 would like to work together if that's okay with the judges.
@rw552: I can guarentee that you won't be able to find where it is, because it isn't there yet :P
@flabba: Mets asked me about this before, I said that you could build together, but the build only counts as being entered by 1 person, and in the event of you winning, only the person who entered it would get the prize.
I'd Like to join Also
Joxy is in i guess.
@jak I think building with another person shouldn't be allowed. The build should be from the creative interpretation of one person, not two.
I'll admit that I only just agreed to allow teams in it.......... MIND HAS BEEN CHANGED: no team building.
Damn. Before reading jak's post, I planned to team with niels >:(
Shouldn't matter too much. Me and Skyara make a big chance even when we aren't teamed up
I would like to participate :)
If Xenuz is in, then I'm in too. :3
If only i could upload a pic from World of Minecraft realms to enter ;D
But sadly,
'tis against rules,
and also,
realms is down :<,
and also,
Hi Xenuz c:
WoM Coins: 1714
Interesting. Might join
One thing, will we need to gather our own resources to build this? Or will we be given Creative in the contest area?
