Retired Community Rep Easter Bunny Posted Tuesday at 03:22 AM Author Retired Community Rep Posted Tuesday at 03:22 AM (edited) Guess i'll use this post here to keep a running tally of the number of bases entered per category. Keep an eye here if that's of interest to you: Fantasy / Arcane: 6 Nature: 2 Novice: 11 Realism: 3 Tech / Sci-Fi: 1 Other / Misc: 4 Edited 15 hours ago by Easter Bunny 1 (\/) Easter Bunny ( . . ) Retired Community Rep | Active Base Advocate c (") (") Community Base Directory | Base Building Guide | Base Building Discord
Aalya Posted Tuesday at 07:25 AM Posted Tuesday at 07:25 AM A couple of questions for you: If the base is meant to be for private use, not for public events (AKA not a club, but someone's house for example) will that alter how things are scored? If the functional items are hidden because they don't fit the theme/decor, will that count against us? For example, if I don't want a random NPC in the middle of my bedroom and so I hide the face maker in the closet, will that still be kosher for functionality? Will we need to list all of the hidden functional items on our entry if they are hidden?

No, the rubric does not favor event spaces over personal residences. The only potential difference is in the Player Engagement category, as event spaces are generally designed to host players. However, as we've stated elsewhere, no base is expected to achieve a perfect score. This rubric is simply our attempt to capture the multitudes of ways that a base can be special. 10 hours ago, Aalya said: If the functional items are hidden because they don't fit the theme/decor, will that count against us?

Will we need to list all of the hidden functional items on our entry if they are hidden? Not at all! While we appreciate seeing services in a base, this time we aren't awarding points just for including them. In fact, we find it even more impressive when services are cleverly hidden or integrated into the design. If your base has hidden functional items, please let us know in advance so you get credit for the effort you put in to disguise them. 1 (\/) Easter Bunny ( . . ) Retired Community Rep | Active Base Advocate c (") (") Community Base Directory | Base Building Guide | Base Building Discord
Retired Community Rep Easter Bunny Posted Thursday at 04:31 PM Author Retired Community Rep Posted Thursday at 04:31 PM @Snarky Attempting to keep discussion off the contest entry thread, but we did see your request here: The category your base is entering under: Arcane or Other ( please advise ) Two judges have taken a look and felt that out of the two options Arcane made the most sense. That being said, it's your base, classify it how you feel best fits your intention. No wrong answers 🙂 1 (\/) Easter Bunny ( . . ) Retired Community Rep | Active Base Advocate c (") (") Community Base Directory | Base Building Guide | Base Building Discord

Rudra Posted Thursday at 11:18 PM Posted Thursday at 11:18 PM Would it be possible to get a base or a few bases graded without entering the competition? 1

Great question, Rudra! We would, actually, be happy to evaluate your base, but: we would prefer to do this after the competition, so as not to confuse people or judges (okay, they are people too, just judge shaped people) :). In the meantime, if there is something specific you'd like to know regarding your base, or if you'd like to talk to someone about it 1:1 and get some feedback, there are many of us who are happy to do that. The easiest and fastest way to get responses regarding your base would be to join the Builder's Discord (see my sig for a link), but if not, we will look for you after the contest and see about getting you an evaluation if we've not heard from you before then. And if we don't, well, sometimes we get busy and forget, so track us down! 🙂 1 1 1 -Dacy Retired CR Active Base Advocate My base building tutorials are always available for you!
