The building contest, set to take place next weekend, has sparked discussion regarding its rules and format. The consensus is that the contest should be divided into two main parts: building and judging. The building part will be open to all members, with a set time limit and a specific theme to be announced later. The judging part will be more restrictive, with only the top submissions making it to the main stage.
Moderators discussed the possibility of requiring builders to create a blueprint or design before starting the build, to ensure fairness and to avoid any potential disputes. Another point of contention was the theme, with some members suggesting it should be more general, while others think it should be more specific and challenging. A possible compromise is to have a mix of both, with a main theme but also some flexibility for the builders.
It was decided that the contest will be open to members of all skill levels, and that there will be no restrictions on the type of build. However, builders are encouraged to follow the server's rules and guidelines, and to be respectful to other players. The judging criteria will be decided upon in the next meeting, but it was noted that a mix of creativity, technical skill, and aesthetics will be considered.
The meeting also touched upon the topic of prize distribution. It was agreed that the prizes will be decided upon by the moderators, and that they will be awarded based on the judges' scores. However, there is an open question regarding the possibility of having a tiebreaker round, where the top builders with the same score will compete against each other.
Some members suggested that the contest should be live-streamed, but it was decided that this will be a topic for discussion at a later meeting. The meeting concluded with a reminder that the building contest is open to all members, and that the rules and format will be announced soon.
