| A new Minecraft Competition! Friday, June 8, 2012 12:00 am — Posted by shos |
ShareThis...in a very distant land(well actually, it's not so distant, and we know exactly when that was), the Egyptian Pharaoh Ka ruled over the Egyptian empire. He was sitting in his temple in Thinis, eating a well-served piece of cooked meat his subjects supplied him, sipping a tad of cold water to fresh his throat.
He has just heard that his forces conquered a large portion of Egypt by now. His people were praising him; he was even better thought of than his predecessor, Iry-Hor. "Well, I am a God," he thought to himself; "so nothing is supposed to be able to live against my will". He kept eating there, gazing upon his mighty kingdom. The meat he was eating was quite fat, so he had some hard time chewing. "Call the cook", he ordered.
The subjects brought the cook to him immidiately. The man wasn't slim, and while he bowed to his God Ka, his muscles started aching, and he started shaking, very mildly. Ka rose up from his chair, and faced the guard nearby. "Your sword." he said. The guard immidiately shook his sword from its handle, and handed it to the Godlike king.
*fllinggg*..
"Clean this mess immidiately and get another cook." said Ka, while sitting back in hsi chair, completely ignoring the blood on his floor, and the cut-off head - with empty eyes - that are watching him, from just a foot away.
"Is my Tomb built yet?"
~~~
Theme of the competition: Ancient Egypt
King Ka, one of the first Pharaohs in the dynasty of ancient egypt, has ruled in the 31st century before Christ. He was considered a better King than his father, and his successor is a mystery. He was buried in a tomb in Umm el-Qa'ab.
Ancient Egypt. That is your theme. Be creative, imaginative and original. Invest time in your level, and add a story to it.
How to submit your entries:
First of all, make your level, add it to the database as usual. Then, in the level's thread, you should post, either in a spoiler in the level's description or in a post, up to 15 pictures of your choice, featuring your level. You can do it in daylight or at night, from inside or outside, whatever you wish - but 15 pictures max.
You may also submit a 6-minutes long video featuring your level.
• Note: Credits and titles are not included in the 6-minutes.
The story with which your level should come with can be anything at all you can think of, as long as it is relevant to the theme. You can write it in the level description, or, if you choose to, you can actually tell the story with the background music to your video. (Do NOT get muted if you do that!!)

Competition Rules:
• In order to participate you need to build something in Minecraft in one of our servers.
• Your entry can be made of anything, and in any size; however, the theme is Ancient Egypt, so you should try and use stone, dirt, sand, etc as the main properties of your design.
• Be advised, building things that are very likely not to have been possible to be built in ancient Egypt's time may deduce points for the theme-matching.

Why does it really matter if one entry is built on Flash's server? Also texture packs are very simple to install... | |

because that's like making an unplayable level to a game. the building is of no use if nobody can even see it. I don't understand what's all the fuss about not letting the interguild in yet. it doesn't make any difference for judging of course, but the point of comps is not to see who the best is; rather, it is to encourage activity and give concepts and themes to provoke ideas. what's wrong with that paragraph last page? O_o here's a question: How did all the earlier MC contests worked, with people having and not having WE, and textures, and whatever?  | |

Shos, do you want the real reason or no reason at all? | |

The reason is that I don't want my server saturated with unplanned, unwanted crap. I also don't want to deal with people moaning at me for my current moving policy of eyesore projects. | |

Flash, what I think Shos is trying to say about your "custom" texture pack, is that if not everyone has access to it, then it shouldn't be allowed.  | |

Shos, your confusion count is skyrocketing with this thread, and while it seems to be really irritating Flash, I personally find it pretty funny. I kinda understand why Flash is keeping his server a secret, and also when you got your own server, sometimes you just want to build your projects on there in order to help develop it. I don't necessarily agree with why he refuses to build without World Edit, but given Quirvy's post, I'm starting to disagree with why he lost his powers in the first place. If anything, his lost of WE powers should have been temporary, rather than permanent, so I wonder if it's time he regained them? | |

I think it might be, seeing Quirvy's post. Losing WE forever is pretty big and not even related to why he was punished.  | |

Oh and the server is open to anyone here, if anyone here is interested PM me or Flash some pictures of your best work. We will then consider whether you are a good enough builder, because we don't want tiny and quite bad builds just littered everywhere. But anyone can get the IP if they just want to look. | |

Why is shos judging when he can't play Minecraft? | |

He can look at pictures, and we're (Me and Flash) are doing a video walkthrough/tour of ours... | |

Because I made the comp and I want it to be that way, lol. I gave you very specific instructions about how to give me your entries. | |

Is there anyone else that would be interested in judging? I would prefer to enter this myself, though if we only have 1 judge, then I might judge as well. I think it's best that we have at least two people. | |

I am not sure, I figured that if non-minecraft-ers would be judges it could be the best. This way we'll look into details and see from an objective way, how things look, I think....right...? | |

I could judge if you want. I honestly got nothing to enter. | |

well I figured that the point is making beautiful buildings, right? so the only way to actually have stuff appreciated is if you are not familiar with them. I mean, watching Snowflake of Doom as a newbie-cavemaker would be much more amazing than watching it after you've seen stuff like B&M, NWUE, stuff made by dando... | |

But often times there is stuff that can't be show well through images to a non-MC player. If someone made a redstone door, it's pretty lame to just see it in pictures, and not all of us can make videos. | |
| shos | ||
| ~Jack of all trades~ Age: 31 Karma: 389 Posts: 8273 Gender: Male Location: Israel pm | email |
well as a start, why not all can make videos?  second part, well, there's still more than a month for the comp, so we can decide it whenever laterz lol. if anyone *wants* to judge with me, speak up and we'll keep in touch | |

We can't all make videos because we don't all have computers that can handle recording Minecraft, much less barely play Minecraft. /victim | |

/Victim as well. As I said before Shos, I'll judge | |
