OGAT builders it is time to grab your hardhats and hammers and show everyone your skill in map architecture. We invite you to the first annual Guardian News Builders competition. However, do not expect an easy task. Your skills will be tested to the limit and only your creativity and mastery of the building elements can save you.
Construction phase
Each round the editorial of Guardian News will pick a theme. The theme could be anything from simple items as “Vehicles”, or a complex idea as for example “Trust”.
The map space will be divided into four sections each measuring 50 by 50 tiles for the first rounds. During semi-finals and finals the area will be divided into larger sections. Four builders will have an hour and a half (1 hour, 30 minutes) to construct their creation according to the theme selected.
Theme of the round won’t be revealed to the builders before the start of the competition. The creation does not need to be a functional map unless it is mentioned in the theme.
Scoring phase
After the construction phase is finished all four creations will be displayed on OGAT discord where OGAT citizens will have two days to score each individual creation with points. All creations will be displayed anonymously. Any public advertising of creations and vote-gathering by the builder will result in the disqualification of that creation.
However only half of the final point result will be given by the OGAT public. Other half will be given by a selection of three judges selected from veteran architects. Among them the esteemed OGAT architectural bureau BATMAN&HELBA.
After 2 days the results will be summed up and displayed in the latest edition of your favourite OGAT newspaper – The Guardian News.
Rewards
Best three builders will receive a commemorative The Guardian News diploma which shows they are the pinnacle of OGAT architecture.
