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)

Interesting. Might joinOne

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?

Oh yeah, I didn't even think about that.

I guess staff can join in, not sure if there are any that would help, but no using commands in it.

anything will be allowed

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.

the prizes will be constantly added to

Also, If any winner has any game they want that isn't too expensive, I'll allow that too.

Question

I know anything is allowed, but is it only building, or could we make a redstone contraption?

It hasn't started yet, so you probably wont be able to find where it is yet anyway.

@rw552: I can guarentee that

@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.

@jak I think building with another person shouldn't be allowed. The build should be from the creative interpretation of one person, not two.
