Monthly build competition

[MariusAbyssal]

Lets face it building is what minecraft is about. How about we have a monthly / bimonthly build comp.

pros:
- Helps with building maps ( see graveyard competition )
- Improves the general look of the server as people get better at building through these competitions.
- May attract people that like to build to the server.

cons:
- Takes time and space to set up.
- Judging could be an issue to be discussed.

The Architects (If you guys feel up to it) could take over judging.
An admin could set up the plots, and you guys could judge.

Agree, agree, agree, agree.

Would really like to see a mechanism for encouraging and rewarding excellent builds. Brings more diversity to the community, more overall satisfaction to being on the server.

Needs to be incorporated into how the new Townships code works. One suggestion is heritage listing - ie builds that are judged to be extra-special are granted TnT immunity for life. Also perhaps setting aside non-PvP areas for building - perhaps opening them for tender - players put up a team, designs, fees they're willing to pay for the area, etc.
