Building Contest Rules

/archive/pets/plugins/ · last edited 20 May 2019 · Security

The last building contest was a bit of a mess, and we need to make some changes. Essentially, the problem was that the theme and rules were not clearly communicated, leading to some builds that didn't quite fit. We also had some disputes over what constituted a valid build, with some players arguing that certain features were not allowed.

The main culprit here was the vague theme. We knew we wanted something related to space, but we didn't give enough guidance on what specific aspects of space we wanted to focus on. This led to a bunch of builds that were either too focused on specific planets or didn't really tie in with the theme at all. We need to do better than that next time.

One thing that worked pretty well was the use of example builds. We provided a few examples of what we were looking for, and that helped some players get a better sense of the theme. However, we still need to do a better job of communicating the rules and expectations. Next time, we'll need to make sure that everyone knows what's allowed and what's not before they start building.

We'll be revising the rules to include a more detailed theme statement and a clearer list of allowed and disallowed features. We'll also make sure to provide plenty of example builds to help guide players. We're hoping that this will help reduce the number of disputes and ensure that everyone has a more fun and creative experience.
