Buildoff

Buildoff is back!
/warp Buildoff

After a break of over 2 months, the "weekly" building competition is finally back!
Not much changed, but for those who never heard of it, I'll give a quick explanation.
If you're used to buildoff and know the rules, you might as well just skip to the yellow part


The Buildoff is a weekly building competition started by Dorion and MissPan quite a while back, that aims to give something to do for players that are always bored :P
The concept is pretty simple, every Monday morning (or Sunday night), I give a new theme, along with some restrictions, and players that wish to participate (must be trusted+) can go at /warp buildoff, choose a free plot and make something according to the theme. You have the week (Monday to Friday) to build, then during weekends, everybody can go vote for their favorite build. The winners will get a prize, and participants will get a little something too.


Restrictions are either :
 - Limited size (default: 41x41)
 - Limited block choices (Whitelisted blocks)
 - Banned blocks
 - A difficult theme

Prizes won't be as "special" as in the last map, but they're definitly (more) worth it. They'll consist mostly of :
 - A bunch of materials to help build in survival
 - Money
 - Other various supplies that might fit the theme
 - Enchanted items (sometimes)
 - Plot is shown for 4 weeks in one of the winner plots (the 4 outset plots)
The quantity and quality of the prizes will depend on the quality of the winner builds, and how many votes they got.

Of course there are still rules :
 - Don't touch anything that isn't yours, at all
 - Don't build anything inappropriate or that doesn't fit the theme, they'll get removed
 - Don't build on more than 1 plot, or outside the plots
 - Don't give information about the owner of plots, they are meant to be anonymous for fair voting
 - Don't copy other players or follow tutorials
 - No teamwork (but advices are allowed, as long as it's not abused)
 - Don't incite players to vote for you
 - Don't excessively talk about your plots (It can count as advertizing it, or showing it off for votes)
 - Clean your plot after the voting period (You can't build again if you didn't clean your last plot)
   Make it look like nobody ever used it
 
For Voters :
 - Only vote once per week
 - Don't vote for your own build
 - Don't vote for the owner of a plot, but for the plot itself (Reason why they're meant to be anonymous)
 - Don't vote on more than one account
 - Don't vote for somebody because you like that person, it's not a popularity contest


More infos at /warp Buildoff


Now, a few things have changed since the last server :
 - Plots will be separated in biomes
    - 16 Mushroom Island plots (Grass)
    - 4 Mushroom Island plots (Mycelium)
    - 4 Snowy plots (Snow)
    - 4 Mesa Plots (Red sand)
    - 4 Desert Plots (Sand)
 - Vote hoppers are now in the middle, so it's important to add what plot you're voting for
 - Easier indications in the middle (Banners!)


I hope to see you all in the arena for the first week!
*whew* what a long post :I
