My Motivation Message
"I've always been great at collaboration builds, and made many memorable ones. I would like to get in to Cohort because I think it would be a fun way to meet other collaborators, learn new techniques, make elaborate builds, and overall, have a good time."

That's it, everybody, I hope you like the build. I wonder if you will be able to find all 10 chests! Built by I have not(6138) with help from Radioactive(12806).

By the way, I thought I'd show my devotion by letting you know, I built this without a duplicator, and all default. This build can be found on Sylvanor's Ihavenot App [RTB].

I will make my verdict on Monday (sorry for delay). Hope to see it in-game before I do also.

I expect other members to share their opinions/yes/no on this.

+1 The build isnt oversized, it looks very well made,
+1 you redid the volcano and placed a castle on it, that i liked a lot,
+1 it's playable by everyone without any mod,
+1 the terrain is very well done and all default,
+1 and i know you gave yourself a lot in it!

-1 The only thing is the brickcount, it could have been better

Final mark is 4/5 for me and i may give my approval, but as i say, it need 50000 bricks, you have less than 10k. Maybe you can try to add more things or terrain?
Let's wait what others members think.

even though im not a member, i suggest maybe a village around the castle, and plains that lead outwards, with some mountains/hills.

[Sylvanor]

In fact, this is a good idea, Pass!

My Cohort Application:

Shrine

In building this, i feel that even if it does not meet your standards and is shot down, it really helped me grow as a builder, and made me feel like i am able to accomplish things i never knew i could accomplish.

I feel i would be a good addition to Cohort as i am still very interested in blockland building and have been dreaming of joining a building clan that's all business such as this for quite a while. I am most certainly not a lazy bum, though i will admit i do not have infinite time, but i will try my hardest to help you guys.

 So without further ado, here's my build, aptly entitled Shrine!
















-17,601 bricks
-1 week of building with small time periods and then 3 days of building at about 5 hours per day
-The build is all default, and i did use the duplicator, but mainly because i like to build in pieces- helps me focus on finer details and then compact everything into one unit. I'm not sure if you guys frown on this or not, but that's just how i do it.

I hope you like it, and thanks for opening up the applications!

so cool it should be an exception.

[I-have-not]

Yes, do this, reach the 50k minimum!

FINE. the 50k minimum makes me sad. time to get to work.

[Anti-Block]

okay now it's looking better

[I-have-not]

I think I'll utilize the same castle technique I used on the keep in my castle on a larger scale.

In response to I-have-not's application:

The build as a whole looks good. It looks like all parts belong together (with the possible exception of the castle, it looks kinda out of place)

The castle looks fine, though it is a bit too symmetric. The marble castle looks weird, but as it is still under construction, I'll ignore it for now. The trees are well built, but I'd like to see even more vegetation. That's just my personal preference, though. The mountain is excellently executed. But the transition into the beach looks weird. It is way too abrupt. The beach itself is also quite short. I'd like to see some more pictures of the mine. I feel that with a mountain like that, you have very much space to experiment with inside it. How about a secret pirate hideout? The possibilities are endless! (almost). I would also like to play on the map. As this is meant to be a treasure hunt, I feel that the gameplay should be taken into account when judging the build. Even though the build itself has some (minor) aestetic issues, the treasure hunt could make up for it if it is good enough.

I see you used default bricks only, which is a big plus. The brickcount rule isn't mentioned in the Application information in the OP, so I won't substract any points for that. Though I'd like to see what you would've come up with if you would've used 5 times as many bricks. It would probably have been good :)

Final verdict before play-through: 6.5/10.

I hold back 1 point since I haven't played on it yet. Can you please provide us with a save?
