Just because our base is in a sewer doesn't mean it can't be swanky 🙂

Mmhm.  Don't trust this one!  

 

You'll somehow "stumble" into that dungeon and then walk out a NXS member for life.

The seat of a small Fae court, this volcanic swamp northwest of Salamanca is fully sentient.

 

Areas and sub-areas of note:

• The Garden [Spring]
  • The Hanging Gardens (straight above the garden)
• The Igneous Monolith [Summer]
  • The Subterra Springs (doorway to the right of the throne)
    • The Fungal Gardens (follow the green lights)
  • The Queen's Chambers (through the lava vortex in the throne)
    • Vittoria's Shrine (through the lava stream to the left of the bed)
    • The Mists of the Dreaming (through the bed's headboard)
• The Redeemed Tree [Autumn]
• The Boreal Vaults [Winter] (portal beside the doghouse under the Redeemed Tree)
• The Watering Hole (bar beneath the tree)
• Visiting Dignitaries' Cabin (visible from the bar)

(The cabin is chimney accessible, in case a certain Fae king up around the north pole decides to parley. A sky bridge, invisible from below, connects the tree and gardens.)

the mists mostly limit the view but if you're surveying the landscape from up in the tree visscale 4 ain't bad

• Your character name: Plasmax
• Your global handle: @Psy-Kid
• Your Supergroup name:  Paragon Guardians
• The shard you’re on: Everlasting
• The passcode for entering the Supergroup base:  GUARDP-14279
• The character names or global handles of any Supergroup members that contributed to building the base (up to a maximum of five, including yourself if you contributed):  Just Plasmax (or rather a basebuilding alt, but Plasmax works).

There are 4 teleport points in the main area when you zone in.  Mushroom Mound just to the north of the building, one in the flaming skull north of the building through the woods, the Roman gate to the south of the building, and one inside the building (door on the north wall as you walk in).  Recommend visscale 5.

 

Before the "blink" a hero of Paragon City, Plasmis, assembled some of the members of the Midnighters Club, sacrificed herself so they could use her power to salvage just a little bit of Paragon City.  A chunk of the land was transported to another dimension, along with some rubble as well as some people.  A statue of Plasmis still stands, still radiating power and protecting the small piece of Paragon that was saved.  Her son, Plasmax is now the base's protector and has formed a super group to carry on his mother's ideals.

 

Also, since he is in his early 20's, he figured out how to get a night club up and running there...

left out a recommendation for visscale 5

Okay, I made this base just for the Halloween event and for the Halloween special event that @VileTerror is doing, but from the reactions of the people who have visited it, plus a desire to have the GMs and devs go through it, I'm entering my base, Spooktastic. (Note: while I did design another base in the contest, I do not own that one, I own this one).

 

Couple of notes: It's a public base, for fun, for Halloween. For the best experience, no flying, set /visscale to 5 or higher.

Shard: Everlasting

Base: Spooktastic

Code: BOO-17189

Owner/sole contributor: @Dacy (Character for base creation: Halloween Mystic)

• Dreameater
• @Dream-eater
• Midnight Guardians
• Excelsior
• MIDNIGHTGUARDIANS-7892
• Contributed to building the base: myself, the main architect. (@Dream-eater) Cool ideas from SG-mate @Dasher, props to him, as well as other SG-mates who gave feedback. (@Damaris & @Gothic Athena)

The Midnight guardians are a conglomeration of many individuals who are arcane practitioners, the mystically gifted, or the mythically born. They aim to defeat extra-dimensional threats using any means necessary. Because of this, there are a wide range of arts reflected in their pocket dimensional base, all beneath the boughs of an ancient stone tree.

 

Around the tree are many habitations, such as the Midnight Manor, in which many studies and experiments take place.

 

Other residents are present, such as the magicians encamped beneath the sky.

 

Finally, far beneath the stone and earth, among the roots of the tree are hidden darker secrets. Summonings happen, to harness lesser evils for power to face the many threats of the world.

 

NOTE: The entry to the underground is hidden away!

To enter, find the open door to in the Manor's first floor, behind the controls for the alchemy slime pool, or through the cliffside ruins behind the camp, then find your way through the tunnels. To exit the underground, use either the stairs up back to the manor, or the glowing ball by the face-fountain. The underground is for RP, so it's less practical and less labeled than the aboveground areas. If you do get lost, you can use the handy macro: /macroimage archetypeicon_warshade SG_MidnightGuardians(Arcane_Theme) enter_base_from_passcode MIDNIGHTGUARDIANS-7892

Wasn't there only supposed to be one submission per builder?  looks like there are people making more than one submission.

[Dacy]

There may be (is, in my case) people who commissioned bases from either the same person, or the person who worked on a base for someone else also has one of their own.  Different owners. Other contests have ruled that it’s not fair to exclude a base because it has the same contributor, if the owners are different, and I’d asked questions, and they said well, if you contribute on more than one, you can only win once. 
 

Let me just put out there, in the highly unlikely event that both entries I’m connected to would place, please give priority to the entry from @Invincer (idk if by “you can only win once”, they meant prize/title is only awarded once, even if both placed, or one eliminates the other and can’t place if the other places, but I really don’t want to knock him out of the competition.) Honestly, the base I did for Halloween is for fun, I want the GMs to tour it, and it’d be awesome if they thought it was as fun as others seem to, but that’s honestly my main motivation in entering it. If it’s going to cause any problems, I will withdraw. I have no idea how either stacks up in the judges’ eyes, so it’s just a guesstimate as to which they’d like better, and I’d rather let @Invincer be able to compete.  I admit, tho, I’d prefer to let them both be ranked, and see if this is even an issue in this highly competitive contest.

sorry wasn't trying to be mean, just asking is all.  I thought this was just for builders.  I don't have any skin in this game but the GM did say one entry only and it seems unfair at least to me to let people get more than one entry base since there's so many creative builders out there with only the one base.  yeah you can only win once, but it's still stacking the deck because you're giving more than one shot to some and that isn't fair to others who entered.   probably an unpopular opinion but I don't think who the SG owner is should matter either, especially if they didn't do any of the work building.  personally I would rather see game titles and merits go to the people who put the effort and hard work into the base creations, not just forked over inf to somebody else to build it for them.  If this is a base building contest, make it for the builders.  Maybe the GMs can clear it up.

 

 

 

[GM Miss]

Only one entry per person - and in the case listed above there was a single contributor that was the same person, so only one of those bases would be able to be judged. They have mentioned they would like the original entry to be judged. I will leave the Halloween themed one up so people can check it out though. 

 

Ping me if you guys have another other questions! 

*edit - We made the SG leaders submit the bases. We did this so that we know that the base had permission to even be submitted (So we know someone isn't submitting a base we have no way of knowing they even helped on). We added contributors so the person submitting to the contest can divvy the rewards how they see fit.

Thank you very much for clarification.  you're the best!

[Dacy]

Thanks, GM Miss 🙂 I'll just wait til next year, I guess, which gives me an entire year to make some expansions I've planned, muahaha. 🙂

 

Meanwhile, thank you for leaving it up! My entire goal is to get folks to enjoy it, and I'd probably pay influence  to watch the GMs go thru.

 

So if you feel like letting me know when/if you go see it, I'd love that!! 😍
