Super blurry logo, deal w/ it.UPDATES8th of March, 2011: Topic posted. Joy to the world.
ABOUTI've been messing with this idea for some time now.
After some tinkering I think it's pretty good.
To explain:
Take for example the common house build.
Many people make houses, but do they always look the same?
How would you build a house?
Would you make the kitchen in the front with a porch behind it?
Maybe you'd make it blue while someone else makes their's red.
This challenge revolves around that concept.
If everyone was to build the same thing, who would make the best?
Whose build would be more original?
Whose build would people like more than others?
How would they do that?
...
Basically, this is a competition to see how multiple people would build similar things.
And I guess it's also to see whose people like the best.
Like the idea or hate it, entering is your choice.
Will happen in this sequence:
1. Vote for build theme
1.1. (Possible argument over videogame idea)
2. Vote for two ideas for the builds.
3. Build.
4. Vote.
5. Winner gets prize ya'll can go home.
See below section, 'Stages' for more information.
PRIZE TO CLAIMWhoever comes out on top is granted the sheer feeling of victory and self accomplishment.
They can also pat themselves on the back.
Kidding.
Obviously patting yourself on the back is optional.
Then again, you can also win up to $30 worth of games of your choice on
Prize(s) will be gifted to you.
See rules for more information.
STAGESSTAGE ONERelatively simple is this stage. For five days people will vote on the build theme the contest will center around.
After that, for five days ideas are welcome as to what should be included in the said build theme.
(Ambiguous ideas like a bench or lamppost, if ya'll get what I mean)
After that, for another five days people can vote on a new poll, and two ideas have been chosen.
That's a good twenty days yes, but hopefully it will pay off.
Please note that participants can 'sign up' during this stage, yet stage two would be a better time to do so.
STAGE TWOThis stage is the primary stage, and centers around building.
Immediately following stage one, builds can be started on.
This stage lasts probably just under one month and a half, (or otherwise, slightly lesser than six weeks).
'Signing up' and build submission can take place at any time during this period, just remember the rules.
Note: If there's less than 5 people at this point it's not worth it and End will probably bail. No real competition.
STAGE THREEVoting.
All builds submitted will be viewable on this post.
After about a week or slightly longer, a winner will be decided.
Simple.
PARTICIPANTS- Unlimited Space -
Remember, five minimum.
And yes, you can bet the hell this section is probably in the most unfitting spot.
RULESBUILDING- Build must represent the general idea voted on.
- Build must also include the two ideas for features voted on.
- There is no brick limit.
- One builder will win, but another, and only another (one person) may help.
- Build must have been started after or relatively short before stage two!
- Builds need to be linked to or pictures of them must be posted in this topic. PMs are also accepted.
PRIZE CLAIMING- User will be PM'd a notification of victory, will respond with prizes and can argue with Endgame (Endco) on Steam.
- Only one time will the winner be gifted (no multiple transactions to spend the money). Waiting is fine for a short while.
- If you do not have Steam, after winning the contest you will have a reason to own Steam. Don't beg for an alternate prize.
VOTING- Don't loving vote for your friend's build, vote for the one you loving think deserves the prize.
- Voting for yourself is overrated but I suppose nobody will know if you do anyway.
CONCERNING OPTIONSAt first there will be six voting options.
These options include three related to architecture and three related to terrain.
Architecture: Historic Landmark
Architecture: Futuristic
Architecture: Videogame Based
Terrain: Scenic Overlook
Terrain: Cave
Terrain: Videogame BasedProbably most prominent are the 'Videogame Based' options.
With these, there will be an extra (hopefully short if needed) session over arguing about which.
We'll pull through eventually.
Also note that the videogame terrain option will not truly have to represent the places, just the concepts.
(Example: Capital Wasteland, F3: Post-Apocalyptic Landscape)
Then again, if anyone objects to those options, post and complain with an intellect and I'll try and satisfy.
No pun intended.
That about sums it up. Yip.
If you want, take your seats.
Builds should be posted in gallery and linked to or pictures in this topic. Later on I'll resize the images and put them somewhere on this post, probably.
