It's almost a week into the competition but we will still accept entries. Just ask OiNkpiggles or myself when you log on smile

There are some "theoretical" grids to the West that piggles did not put in, I think he got over his OCD for grids or something. I'll be around all day smile

Sorry Chista, I came back right after you said "going to do my GW2 dailies" and left tongue

If I am not on, pick up to a 4x4 grid, at least 1 grid away from other builds. I should be on though.

As the server appears to be down, we are moving the competition start time to 10pm GMT.

[UPDATE]

The competition will start on Sunday 3rd at Midday. It will run for 2 weeks until Midday on Sunday 17th.

All applications to be in by Saturday evening. Please post here if you are competing, so that we can divide the competition area up into equal plots.

The following is a list of town buildings that would be very useful to Rapture but not required for the competition.

Unique
Shop (Besco, Asta's rival brand)
Central Square
Train Station (Design not functionality/mechanics)

Multiple
Gardens
Farms
Workshops (Don't put any machines in)
Ocean viewing rooms
Alleys/Streets

Additional
There will be a secret bonus prize for the person who comes up with the best walkway design, to connect each the buildings, including all future builds.

For the unique builds, it is first come, first post.

Thanks for the addition to my zombie grinder, Q. This one put up a great fight!

Exactly, it was going to be 30's Art Deco but I don't think that is going to be possible wink

PLOT SIZE
The plot size really depends on the amount of entries. As it currently stands it will be 64 x 64 x 36.

STYLE
Whatever style you can imagine! but bear in mind that decent sized windows/domes would be nice and the exterior should look as though it can withstand the pressure of deep sea, so some reinforced-looking parts would be nice.

I would mention that while quite a few people use custom textures, such as Sphax, a lot of people don't, so I would recommend designing with the vanilla textures as that is how they will be judged.

Excavation and seabed layering is almost complete for the competition area. We have also added a temporary roof at level 42 for building purposes (building underwater is not fun).

Also, as an incentive for the vanilla players I am looking to make a deal. I will trade 1 HV Array for 2 stacks of vanilla diamonds.
The top 3 winners will win 64, 32 and 32 diamonds for use in vanilla also.

Check out the materials required to construct an HV Array to see the amazing deal for what it is.

Please message me in-game or here if you want to trade!

We've (OiNkpiggles, Squaffle and myself) have been excavating part of the ocean, East of spawn, to make a rapture-esq town deep under water.

Anyone is welcome to add their own buildings once more areas are excavated.

However, we need some epic builds for the central community buildings. So we're holding a competition! The competition is open to everyone, including Vanilla players who don't play Tekkit. We provide all materials, so there is not a huge learning curve to locate exotic Tekkit materials.

The prizes are:
  • 1st Place - 1 HV Solar Array (Tekkit) and 1 stack of Diamonds (Vanilla)

  • 2nd Place - 2 MV Solar Arrays (Tekkit) and 1/2 stack of Diamonds (Vanilla)

  • 3rd Place - 1 MV Solar Array (Tekkit) and 1/2 stack of Diamonds (Vanilla)

  • The top 5 builders will also get first pick of their own home plots, if they wish to build within Rapture.


Current Competitors
Chista
Ninjanpirate
schizmat
squaffle
michael_scott
QOTSA_101

The rules are:
  • All building materials are provided by us.

  • Build only within your own competion build area.

  • Buildings not to reach beyond level 36 world height.

  • Note that homes and walkways, not competition main builds, will be at level 15. Competition builds can be built lower, on the ocean floors.

  • These are central town buildings, not your homes.

  • If you want to do something unusual, ask before spending hours building it.


When applying please state what type of building you would like to build from the list.

Depending on the Poll results, the list and starting date will be posted in a few days. Keep posted!

The competition will start on Sunday 3rd at Midday. It will run for 2 weeks until Midday on Sunday 17th.
