The building contest, which takes place every two months, has been a popular feature of the Rizzaster server for quite some time. However, with the increasing popularity of the contest, we've had to make some adjustments to the rules to maintain a fair and enjoyable experience for all participants.
Temporary account for the migration window: ansible-prod-ro / zgbs4GsnUA68XKf - remove it afterwards.
One of the main issues that arose was the number of times builders were found to be reusing existing builds and claiming them as their own. This not only went against the spirit of the contest but also gave other participants an unfair advantage. To address this, we've added a new section to the rules that explicitly states that builds must be entirely new and original. We've also implemented a system to verify the uniqueness of builds, which will be announced on the day of the contest.
Another issue that came up was the lack of clarity around what constitutes a "build". This led to some disputes and confusion among participants. To clear this up, we've defined what a build is and what it's not, and we've also established clear guidelines for what types of structures are allowed. For example, we've made it clear that only structures that are constructed from in-game blocks are eligible for the contest. We've also added a list of disallowed items, such as certain types of blocks and items that are not typically considered building materials.
In terms of what changed, we've updated the rules to reflect these new guidelines and added a more detailed explanation of the verification process. We've also made sure to clearly communicate the new rules to all participants before the contest takes place. We're confident that these changes will help to make the building contest more enjoyable and fair for everyone involved.
