Oh, I hadn't read all of the posts in here. I entered a base I did, a public base which I own, and then @ralewis entered a base that she owns, but I made it for her. Does that count as one or two for me? That's the only problem with doing bases for others, I'm never sure of these rules. On the one hand, it doesn't seem fair to exclude someone because their base builder did another base that is also entered, but on the other hand, it's also not fair to hog the competition, and hey, I'm competing against ...myself? Tho in different categories. Can they be entered in different categories? Let me know, and we'll work it out, I don't want to be a problem, here. -Dacy

SG: Spooktastic Code: Boo-17189 Contact: @Dacy Public themed base for fun, could fit in maze category as well. 🙂 Each of the 4 paths to explore has an endpoint which can transport you to the end goal (the treat room!). -Dacy (PS, for best experience, no flying, set /visscale to 5 or higher)

Chaos Girl, that was a beautiful and sweet post. I’m honored to be a “guru” for you. It always amazes me and is both humbling and thrilling to see people take what I showed them and go to even more extraordinary heights with it! Oh, and, there’s a trick to cladding the outside of a base, I think I was the one to discover how to tame the editor’s balkiness in this regard; I will be happy to show/tell you about it (when I can, I will make a video about it). -Dacy

That’s Divine, it won second. -Dacy

Congratulations, Giovanni! I knew you'd be in the top three, for sure, and was thinking you could definitely win it. Well executed, large, detailed base, no flicker, well laid out, with some inventive stuff. I wasn't sure if Divine would count, since it was not finished, and the rules said that the base must be finished to be judged, but it's spectacular. And I truly thought Chaos Girl's base would be in the top three, but, I think that without her to guide them, a person could easily not find all the incredible things she's put into that base. Which is too bad, because it's a super well thought out base, as well, and both of you put so much time into it! Well done, everyone. -Dacy

Four days to go! Have you narrowed the field any? And if you had, would you tell us? 🙂 -Dacy

I like the door! Well done! -Dacy

Amazing bases! Wow, I don't know how you're going to choose! Thanks for doing this contest, and thanks for looking at all of our bases! Nothing makes a base builder happier than having people see their stuff. 🙂 In the ONES space ship, the Oranderite, I did want to call attention to detail. Check out, for example, the bar in the nightclub. There's a garnish tray for drink garnishes there. I tried to pay attention to detail in each room I did. Thanks! -Dacy

One more question. Are the titles that are awarded global, for all our characters, or are they specific to one character? -Dacy

In other words, are you limiting the entry to one per base owner, or is the base builder the determining factor? If that builder is a contributor on another base, is one of the bases now ineligible? Can someone enter a base as the owner but still be a contributor on another base that's entered? -Dacy (Sorry for all the questions!)

Okay, on the one entry only please, thing...um. I've got bases I've made for people on several servers. They belong to them, but I made them, and I know of several bases where there are several contributors. Does that mean that first base in is the only one that can be entered? Or is it one per base owner, regardless of if someone who contributed is entered with another base? -Dacy

Doesn't say we can't... 🙂 Thanks, Jimmy, for the clarification. -Dacy

I think when they say "contributors" they mean, who built it, whether OP or were there others in addition? Maybe they will clarify. -Dacy

Wait, so, you're not taking any tours? The contest is then going to be judged on just 5 screen shots? Which are optional?? I think I may be confused... -Dacy

It worked!! Again, many many thanks! -Dacy

Thank you so much!! I will get my husband to make sure I do it right, heh. 🙂 -Dacy

Hi! Just found your topic, and I will admit to not being terribly computer literate, plus, running LINUX, if that makes a difference, but. I'd very much like to silence a sound in a base while I'm working in it, it's driving me crazy, and I want to be able to hear if someone PMs me, or something. I searched in your topic, but no one had listed this sound, the sound of the Mystic Orrery. I get lost in trying to follow some of these directions. Can anyone find the name of this sound file for me, please? Thank you so much! -Dacy

The kiosk lettering is made from tintable candles in room details and soap bars from bathrooms. Part of the trick there was coming up with a name with no curved letters! I‘vw even done words with candy boxes, which is about as small as it gets in this editor so far. I don’t recommend it!! Getting little things to stay lined up is super hard! I bet if we do get tiny letters, they’d have some of the same problems. But at least the words would stay legible! -Dacy

100%!! If I’d had tiny letters, I could have labeled games and such. Labeled destinations for the lifts. And so on! And thanks for the kind words. 😊 -Dacy

Just a note on the Oranderite Starship, there are two areas accessible only from certain locations: the Captain's Ready Room, accessible only from the bridge from the lift marked as such, and the large shuttle airlock, on top of the ship, accessible only from the lift in the shuttlebay (destination Z). As always, when viewing outside or over large distances in a base, /visscale 5 is recommended. -Dacy

Thank you! -Dacy

Arcade details! Stupid forum programming adds everything I post to my "allowed" total, even if they are separate posts, Annoying! Meant I couldn't post this right off. DDR and first person shooter: Claw machine Skee ball and basketball (the little numbers were one of the biggest pains!) Well, I have one wall completed, the other side still to go. Closeup of the motorcycles. I am proud of how they turned out! And finally, the racing game: I will be adding more racing, another shooter, the pinball machines, and we will see what else I can come up with, if anything. I do with we had more colorful lights and such to play with. 🙂 -Dacy

Nice, Flint! Good work! I wanted to share pics of one thing I'm working on right now. This is a co-op project with Shard Warrior. He's done the outsides, I'm doing the inside of the building (Titan-6298, on Torchbearer, if you want to nose around). This is the lobby: Second floor, the "hub": transportation, and a bit of an airport feel. Food court, gift shop, kiosk, and your destinations. There's a lot to see here! Third floor: Health center, gaming arcade. And, we'll break this up and post details of the arcade in the NEXT post. 🙂 -Dacy

@DarkWing, no one ever responded to you. Here's a helipad: This was done with Cement plates from Cityscape, Power Truss 3, also from Cityscape. The H and brackets are alphabet letters, and there are blue pulse lights on the corners I did lay down a medium grating plate from Structures as a base for the cement plates and to add to the thickness of the pad. -Dacy

Can you grab said item and, reversing your orientation, move it to where you could not move it when facing the other way? That would help clear up whether or not it was a base issue or an equipment/setup issue of some sort. I mean, is the -area- proscribed somehow, or is it the right side of your screen, regardless of the direction you are facing? -Dacy
