If you're the one who built it, yes.

Yqt1001 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 11, 2013, 05:50:00 PM »

Yes good idea.

blotz · « **Reply #8 on:** December 11, 2013, 07:57:48 PM »

we should all give a little prize so it adds up for our winner

TheMooCows · « **Reply #9 on:** December 11, 2013, 08:35:27 PM »

I will join this, though I will probably have to build really fast...

Bla · « **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2013, 12:06:57 AM »

I'll join

Kol, I had thought about something like this for a long time.

vh · « **Reply #11 on:** December 14, 2013, 12:29:24 PM »

entry deadline extended to sometime in january

vh · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2014, 05:16:37 AM »

bump. january 22

there is currently 1 entry

also changed it to 3 structures because i don't think anyone has that much stuff built and if we did 5 there would be nothing left for next time

Bla · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2014, 11:26:02 AM »

Kaktoland Collective Storage will officially donate 3 awards to the top 3. Highest rank gets to pick first. The awards are:

256 glowstone blocks
192 sandstone blocks
128 iron ingots

If there are 5 entries or less, the prizes will be reduced by 75%. If there are 5-8 entries, by 50%. If there are 8-12 entries, by 25%.

vh · « **Reply #14 on:** January 15, 2014, 11:21:28 PM »

there are 4 entries from two people so far

vh · « **Reply #15 on:** January 23, 2014, 12:46:51 PM »

extended to februrary 8th because rollbacks and i'll be busy next week

vh · « **Reply #16 on:** February 08, 2014, 07:40:24 AM »

entries are closed...

unless you're fast enough to get them in my pm box before i make the video

direct link to entries https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42218552/blavis.rar
short youtube video put together if you're into that kind of thing
blavision 2014

there were 7 entries total

vote in the format of

entry1name: score1
entry2name: score2
.
.
.
entrynname: scoren

or something similar

you can make up to ten votes ... but five is probably as much as anyone needs, considering they can't vote for their own.

---

since there are so few participants i think i'll let other blacraft players vote. their combined votes will be square rooted before being added.

--

the deadline for voting is one week.

vh · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2014, 11:46:19 AM »

oh yeah it's ranked voting so just choose from best to worst like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.

TheMooCows · « **Reply #19 on:** February 09, 2014, 11:50:05 AM »

If it weren't for rollbacks I would have been in this

vh · « **Reply #20 on:** February 15, 2014, 05:40:23 PM »

there were two voters:

bla
Polania Research Center: 1
Jaguar Temple: 2
Kaeshar-Revolutea Bridge: 3
Guodesia Embassy: 4
Mooscow Bridge: 5

mudkipz
foundry: 1
jaguar temple: 2
cartographium: 3
k-r bridge: 4

i was going to use instant runoff voting, but that would be impossible because there are way more entries than voters, so we'll use a point system i just came up with five seconds ago

rank n is awarded 1/n points. i don't know if this is mathematically sound but that can wait for the next round.
as an adjustment, since smjjames did not vote, his entries will each recieve an additional -(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/1+1/2+1/3+1/4+1/5) = -.5708 points

scores:
polania: 1 point
spawntown cartographium: .333 points
mooscow bridge: .2 points
iron foundry: 1 point
jaguar temple: .5+.5-.5708 = .4292 points
kaeshar revolutea bridge: .3333+.25-.5708 = .0125 points
guodesia embassy: .25 points

ordered:
polania and iron foundry tied: 1 point
jaguar temple: .4292 points
spawntown cartographium: .333 points
guodesia embassy: .25 points
mooscow bridge: .25 points
kaeshar revolutea bridge: 0.0125 points

there's no significance to first place in blavision so i probably won't bother with any tie breaking.

the theme for the next round is transportation infrastructure. deadline for entries is april 1st. I'll decide on the new scoring mechanism between now and then.
instead of just vanilla screenshots, do you think we should also allow one or two video clips and different texture packs/renders?

Bla · « **Reply #21 on:** February 16, 2014, 04:24:33 AM »

Disappointed to see so few voting. I think we should have this be twice per year or something like that so there will be plenty of time to make new entries.

As for texture packs, I think it should be vanilla, if you've built something it should appear in the contest like it would appear to people by default. Video clips, that should be ok, but with something like a 20-30 second limit.

vh · « **Reply #22 on:** February 16, 2014, 04:29:31 AM »

hmm. twice a year seems a bit long, but i see your logic. how about holding it this way: i'll leave this next round open until there are a reasonable amount of entries (30+), and see how long that takes.

vh · « **Reply #23 on:** May 12, 2014, 05:36:27 PM »

that didn't work so the deadline will be july 1st

atomic7732 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 12, 2014, 06:09:10 PM »

is the theme still transportation infrastructure?

i could do that

vh · « **Reply #25 on:** May 12, 2014, 06:36:22 PM »

do you want it to be.

atomic7732 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 12, 2014, 08:25:58 PM »

vh · « **Reply #27 on:** June 12, 2014, 07:23:29 PM »

no ones submitted anything yet. to encourage submissions, a bonus will be given to each submission. the bonus is proportional to the time between submission and the deadline, and it will not exceed 100% of the score. haven't worked out the details yet.

Bla · « **Reply #28 on:** June 13, 2014, 04:32:51 AM »

Is there any theme for this Blavision?
