What is the build battle?
As part of the Cubeville Art Slam, we are running a build battle where players create a build based on a set theme. You can build anything you like, so long as the build is based on the prompt set in this post. The build battle opens Sunday 13th September 2020 and runs up until 11:59pm Friday 23rd October 2020, EST. The build battle is the longest running of the competitions in this event, and is open for the full duration.
How do I enter?
To get to the build battle, you can take either the portal from spawn or the Special wing of /hub. Once you are there, you place a /modreq asking for a plot. Much like the normal creative world, you will be able to use /home to get to your plot. You have until the end of Friday 23rd October 2020 to build your entry. You can take as long as you like on the building within that time frame, and change it as much as you want, nothing will be judged until after the closing date.
Once you have a plot you are automatically entered into the Build Battle, if you decide you want to exit the competition just /modreq again asking for your plot and entry to be removed.
What is the build battle theme?
Your build must be based on the following theme:
"Dangerous Circumstances"
This idea can be interpreted in a variety of ways, as long as you are able to show the theme and the connection is able to be understood by the general population.
