Arena Contest

Recommended Posts

Good afternoon everyone, we are happy to announce a new building contest to take place on C! In the coming months we plan to start hosting events more often on the Event Server and to do that we are in need of Arena’s. Who better to build some Arena's than the community?

Information
Starts: October 11th 2015
Ends: November 11th 2015
We are looking for 3 types of Arena’s:

  • PvP: An Arena that can be used for a variety of PvP Events ranging from Tournaments to Kit PvP, and more
  • King of the Hill (KOTH) or King of the Void (KOTV): An Arena that has a point that players must race to get to and will fight each other to get there (Please no absurdly hard parkour, however some parkour is fine)
  • Other: Have an idea for a different type of Arena such as a Mob Arena or Spleef Arena? Then it goes here, let’s see what people can come up with!

How it works:
We will be using the same system as the lobby contest: PlotMe. WorldEdit commands will also be the same.

You will be able to claim 3 plots per person in which to build your design. Each plot is 100x100 however you do not need to fill the entire space. Groups builds are highly encouraged.
SafeBuckets is enabled. You will need to /modreq for flowing water/lava still, sorry =/
WorldEdit is enabled for use in your plot(s) only, however most commands are rate limited to help server stability. Any abuse will result in a ban.
The winner will be chosen by a vote on the forum.

The contest is taking place on C in the 'Contest-Arenas' world. To get there type "/mvtp Contest-Arenas" OR "/warp ArenaContest"

Please put a sign with the arena type and your name(s) in one of the corners on your plot.

 

Rules

  1. All Nerd.Nu Universal Rules Apply
  2. Each player may submit 1 Arena for each category (for a total of 3 entries)
  3. Unused/Abandoned Plots can and will be removed and reclaimed
  4. All Arena’s must be no larger than 100x100 and no smaller than 50x50
  5. We will not be importing builds, your build must be done on C in the Contest-Arenas World (/mvtp Contest-Arenas)

Arena Requirements:
PvP Arenas

  • 2 Team Gates (No more than 2 teams)
  • No smaller than 50x50, no larger than 100x100

KOTH

  • No team gates, however can have multiple gates/entrances
  • No smaller than 50x50, no larger than 100x100

Other

  • No other real requirements, besides be creative!

Winners/Prizes
Winners will be decided by a public forum vote that the community votes on. There will be one voting question for each category. The person with the most votes get first place, the second most votes gets second place, etc. Prizes:
PvP First Place: Your arena will be used in the first PvP Event on E
PvP Second Place: Your arena will be used in the second PvP Event on E
KOTH First Place: Your arena will be used in the first KOTH Event on E
KOTH Second Place: Your arena will be used in the second KOTH Event on E
Other First Place: Your arena will be used for the first non-pvp/non-koth event on E
All Other Places for All Categories: Your Arena will be used at some point for some event on E

Some addition info from the subreddit post.

 

Can we use traps, dispensers, or other interactive things?

Yes! Please feel free to be creative with traps and tricks.

 

Can we use beacons?

You can use beacons for style or decorative uses, however not for the buff effects.

 

What is King of the Void (KOTV)?

KOTV is the same thing as KOTH except instead of having the Arena over the ground, it is over the void. Thus if you fall off the tower or a platform, instead of falling to the ground you fall to your death into the void.

 

What kind of events are these arenas going to be used in?

These Arena's will be used in a variety of different events ranging from Kit PvP to KOTH with jetpacks. It all depends on the type of event we are hosting and the gameplay ruleset for that event.

 

How will KOTH be scored?

It will depend on the type of event the arena is being used for. Some will be based on who reaches the top first while others might be who can stand on top the longest.

re: Team Gates -

 

Are these gates able to be warp signs like those used during event server contests? Or are we supposed to use a bunch of iron doors for entry?  (Obviously on the creative server where we're building the theoretical warp signs wouldn't work, but placing demo signs that get the point across.)

 

Edit: Also -

 

Are we able to request certain items be provided, either in chests or (if people can warp sign in) have items spawned at the time they warp in?

Yes you can use warp signs. When we do the actual events we will make the signs functional.

As for items, the Arenas will be used for a variet of different events, all of which will have different rulesets/kits/items/etc. It'll depend on the kind of event we host in it.

I completely forgot to post a follow up for this and would like to thank dnynumberone for bringing it my attention.

 

The contest ended as I specified on November 30th. Due to so few entry's to the event we will not be holding a voting contest. Everyone gets to be a winner!

 

As for what the Arena's will be used for I do not know what the eadmins currently have planned but I will see about potential uses of them on P.

 

Thanks to those that entered: Ultrahub, dnynumberone, StarMinion1, DerpHerpington, Abitcat, Pokethespider
