The Building Game
Sunday 26th July 7pm BST (please convert it into your own time)
Every Sunday from now on, I'll try and host The Building Game.
There are only 7 slots available, so it'll be first come, first serve. I'd like to have it so that people who want to play but have 7 people in front of them will have top priorities for the second match (meaning we'll be having another round of the Building Game straight after this one.)
Match 1:
1. Alexandros
2. Wind_Mage_Vaati
3. MC_Spartan117
4. NitradoSupport
5. MakeMeModAgain
6. Chinto30
7. AllstarIV
Match 2: (Anybody who isn't in the previous match will be in this one.)
1. Draynth (backup)
2. LadyNarwhal
3. Mortenu
4. AmsterdamFox
5.
6.
7.
Nobody will be able to observe, more than 7 people causes annoying command block issues.
Theme Suggestions:
If you have any themes that would be interesting to use, please say
Only sign up if you can guarantee you will be here. Check Skype before the game starts!
I will edit this post with confirmed participants later.
How to play SethBling's Building Game
1. Once all members have opted into the game (as soon as you join it auto-opts you in) you will be moved to a small room with a piece of paper.
2. Use the anvil to rename the paper to something theme related. (If it's movies your paper should contain a movie title. Ex: "Lord of the Rings")
3. After everyone inserts their paper you will be moved to a large empty room with a dispenser.
4. Look at the paper inside the dispenser (Leave the paper in the dispenser, just hover mouse over it)
5. Build (or attempt to build, lol) what is written on the paper within 300 seconds (5 minutes), in the interest of keeping the game moving, at 400 seconds I will manually set your status as "done". The builds don't have to be perfect, just get the message across in the allotted time.
6. Once everyone is complete you will be teleported to a room of a completed build.
7. You must take a piece of paper to an anvil and rename the paper to what you think the other persons build is.
8. Once everyone has done that you will go to another empty room with a piece of paper. Repeat steps 4-8 two more times.
9. You are now teleported to a small room with a dispenser. Inside is a piece of paper containing what everyone interpreted as your initial paper from step two.
10. After this a Mod will TP everyone around so you can fly around and look at everyone's builds, stay with the group so everyone looks at the same builds together.
RULES
1. Leave all papers in the dispensers! Do not take papers out! If you remove it then we do not get to see guesses!
2. Do not destroy any blocks that are not associated with your build. This includes any blocks in the starting area, command blocks, or any walls or floor tiles.
3. Do not create unnecessary golems, or any mobs that do environmental damage (ghasts, withers, etc)
4. If you use spawned animals, be reasonable. If the paper says "Sheep" then do not just put a sheep spawn in the area, do not place more mobs than necessary.
5. Do not leave your area during any stage of the game, do not fly above any walls.
6. Do not build anything on top of walls, or anything not related to your build. If you have time to be bored and 300 seconds hasn't passed then add more to the build.
7. Take time to complete your build. You have 300 seconds, if you are finished at 80 seconds then I suggest adding more detail. The goal is for the next person to guess the scene, not for them to be completely stumped because you failed to add enough detail.
8. ENGLISH SUGGESTIONS ONLY and keep chat in English as well, sometimes we record and our chat is typically funny, no reason to segregate half of the people you're supposed to be playing with by speaking in a language they don't understand.
9. Do not mention anything about what you submitted, what you're building, or what someone else built. We will see them all in the end, talking about it during though may ruin it for the next person who has to guess your build.
10. Do not use signs to give hints. The build is what provides detail. It is The Building Game after all.
11. All suggestions should be mostly common knowledge, the game isn't meant to force everyone to Google. For example, the topic is sports, "baseball" would be acceptable, but "Eskimo Leg Wrestling" would not be.
12. Do not google image search things. All suggestions should be common knowledge according to Rule 9 so Google shouldn't be necessary. Try your best and have fun.
IF YOU ARE STUMPED
If you don't know what it is you are supposed to be drawing do a literal interpretation. Example: If the paper you must draw is the movie "Broken Arrow" and you don't know what it is about, then use MC blocks to create a literal Arrow that is broken in two pieces.
If you are unsure what the person before you tried to build, do not describe what you saw, take a themed guess. Example: If it is a green mask and you don't know that it is supposed to be the Jim Carrey movie "THE MASK" guessing "Incredible Hulk" isn't a bad thing. That's always part of the fun anyways!
Application Format
IGN: AllstarIV
Suggested Theme: Beer
If you PM me on Skype or say in the group you'll be playing, I won't take it into account unless it is posted here.
Reply here if you have any questions or comments about how to play, rules, themes, or application.
Let's keep the themes clean, seeing genitals every game gets old.
