Author Topic: Buildmode - A semi-competitive building game mode  (Read 2239 times)



Buildmode is a semi-competitive building game-mode.
Each player starts with a default building limit of 750 bricks. Within this limit, players will try to build something in an attempt to gather support from other players.
The winner is determined by the largest number of support a player has by the end of a round*.



Support

The main objective in this game mode is to support other players who have built something which is appealing. This will increase the brick limit for the creator, encouraging him to build more appealing buildings.

In order for a person to be supported they must have at least 500 bricks.
You may only support one person every tick. A tick is one hour.
You can not support the same person consecutively.
You can support offline players by entering their full name or ID. **Names with spaces will not work, so you must enter their BL_ID




Commands

/help - Displays server info.
/rules - Displays server rules.
/mybrickcount - Displays your brickcount.
/getbrickcount [NAME OR BL_ID] - Displays target player's brickcount. (Only functional with online players.)
/bricklimit - Displays your bricklimit. (Your brick limit can also be seen in the scoreboard.)
/support [name or BL_ID] - Supports target player.

Rules

The rules of the server are as listed, but not limited to:

Try to stay within the theme of the build.

The layout (roads, grass, beach) are loaded as public. Do not abuse this.
No exploitation.
No exploiting new players for support.
Some builds may be cleared by admins if they see that it does not fit.

Determining whether you are breaking an unwritten rule or not can be decided by common sense, or verification with an administrator.

this is a re-post of my older topic

Seems like fun. Is there anything special about winning?

As of right now, there is nothing very special about winning.

You will get recognition and bragging rights.

Is it only default bricks?

You should add this information in the op, with colorset and addons on the server.

Right now the server has pole bricks, window bricks, extra ramps, fence bricks, Sumz' misc bricks, and wedges. Currently, the colour set is Trueno's.

Really fun server, it's interesting trying to build something that looks good while still using a small amount of bricks.

Perfect, joining.



this would be great if you can permanently host this dedicated.

how long are rounds? are there daily, weekly, and monthly rounds? it would be great if this could be a long-term thing rather than how well you can build with just 750-1750 bricks.

is there a way of looking who got most of supports each weeks?

I like it. Will have to join soon.

A round is typically around one month.

No. However, you can see who has the highest brick limit in the scoreboard. I want to be a little secretive about the number of supports someone has until the end of the round. When the round ends, I will post put all the support scores.

Does supporting someone lower my own brick limit?

Also you should get 1 random brickpack it has these cool oct pipes/columns.
