Lord of the Rings Map Builder Recruitment ON HOLD

[Mr Dice]

Watch Us Build Mordor​

Please read everything before applying.​

Let me just say this straight up, if you have no experience with worldedit say so in the app, it doesn't necessarily mean you won't be able to help, if I have time I'll either teach you myself or I'll ask someone else who is building it to help you. I just don't want you going off not knowing what you're doing and wasting our time cocking the map up. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

Secondly, the map being built has, as of yet, not been decided, currently Mordor is in the lead, but there have only been 10 votes, this represents only a tiny portion of the user base, therefor I'm going to wait longer before the final vote count is taken; you can vote here: http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/minas-tirith.25025/
At the moment the larger arenas seem to be more popular, meaning that the build will need to be more organised. All individuals who choose to take part will need roles/areas that they will specialise in, such as terraforming, building design, interior decorating, map designing, etc. I think this should go without saying, but, please don't apply for a role that would require you to understand the aesthetic design of any of the maps if you have not seen the films or read the books. But roles such as map design and balancing would still be open to you.

Lastly before I give application roles available, feel free to YouTube yourself or others (with their permission) building the map. It could bring attention and aid to the building of the map. To make sure you've read all of this, please post you're IGN backwards, as in back to front, for example, mine would be eciD_rM. This forum will also be posted on minecraft forums to try and gain as much help as possible while building it. Finally everybody who applies for a role and clocks above one standard deviation below the average build time will be regarded as a joint creator with no one person being the main builder. Essentially, if you pull your weight building the map you'll be a creator.

Also, the server is now going to be whitelisted, so you can no longer just go on and build your applications, you'll have to contact one of the team, who'll then let everyone know you're coming on to try out. Then we'll all decide whether you're accepted. DEMOCRACY FTW

If you're a part of the build team just message me on skype (mr_dice_94), and I'll add you to the skype chat that we have, don't worry, I don't have to add you as a friend if you don't want me to, I can simply add you to the discussion. Sorry, just tried that, I can't do that, I have to add you as a contact.

Thank you ugle, last time I checked three were done, I like the one I didn't do, I don't know who did it, which is why I'm referring to it as the one I didn't do. Or did I? No I didn't. But I could have, But I didn't. You might still be reading this, or possibly not. Maybe in a parallel universe you stopped reading this before now, but in an infinite number of others... you didn't. Maybe I'm only typing this because the atoms in my brain are acting differently because they are not being observed.... but maybe that's just WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO THINK!

Teh fook?!?

Update Number O of O updates

I'm Putting this on hold, as nobody other than me seems to be working on it, and I can't do Mordor alone.

 

[Fred_the_plynth]

Teh funk is this, you making a lord of the rings map? Hah, love how you felt you had to explain standard deviation. Jus a bit patronising.

 

[Mr Dice]

I wasn't being patronising, it gives a clear guideline for those who know what it is, and I then gave people who do not understand a clear guideline as well.

 

[Fred_the_plynth]

Could you add what we need in order to apply, you know, the application form.

 

[Mr Dice]

I thought it was pretty self explanatory, but OK.

[TheRandomMan1000]

I would apply if I wasn't working on my own map. Though I will say, don't terraform with world edit. The commands are very simplistic compared to that of voxel sniper. Look up voxel sniper plugin and get that. It is very complex, but once you get the hang of it you'll be able to creat incredible things.

Thanks for the advice, I'll check it out. Only issue is that I think most people will have worldedit experience and not that. But I'll definitely make that a must for the terraforming role if it's that good.
