Hey, as you may know I host a skyblock competition based on best function islands (farms etc..) A lot of people didn't like the prizes I was giving out, so for the next one I want to hand out prizes that more people like. Therefore, I'm gonna ask the community what they think are suitable 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. Please be reasonable and enjoy taking part!
This might be a bit over the top but 1st - IG Spawner (Or like 3 or less legendary keys) 2nd - 3 Epic Keys 3rd - 2 Uncommon Keys
If it's every month, and you are willing to spend some money, then I agree the above. Also, maybe for a really outstanding one, a voucher if you have one to spare. When you say that it was for best function, do you mean in terms of efficiency(i.e. Fastest farms) or other things(i.e most variety of farms)? Also: do aesthetics count towards the top winners? And do we get brownie points for having a more original design?
Like I said in the actual thread 1st place : 3 legendary keys 2nd place : 3 epic keys 3rd place : 3 uncommon keys
Money isn't an issue, don't worry. Fastest farms and variety can all go into play. Aesthetics are a + too but not the only factor and I suppose originality is a bonus too.
Hey, Before you judge or host any new competitions I would recommend clear explanation what you're looking for from the island. What brings the player points etc. Simply saying "best function islands (farms etc..)" doesn't really tell any details. Is it which island produces the most money? Which island has the most unique concept? Just explain a bit what you're looking for when you judge them. For the prices: 1. 2 Legendary keys 2. 78 Sky Essence (You can choose what you want, 3 uncommon keys, spawner or beacons) 3. 500k IGM
In the best way possible I can explain it, when we looked this time, we looked at what type of farms they had, how efficient they were and whether they were automatic or not. I hope this explains it but please respond if you want to know more.
What about the next time, same requirements? Also is it good thing if it is automatic or not? What do you consider efficient? Does lets say cocoa bean farms give the player more points than cactus since its more rare? Does the size matter? Does it matter if the player has used their own design of the farm or modified it themselves, not just copied from YouTube? Which of these gives the most points when it comes to judging? What should the players focus on the most? Lets start with those.
It will be the same requirements next time, automatic is generally better, efficiency is basically how much of said item can be yielded in the least amount of time with least amount of resources, yes farms that farm rarer items give more points, size links back to efficiency, and I don't care if people copy of YouTube because unless they make it blatantly obvious that it's copied I won't be able to tell. I think players should focus on making the most efficient farms possible, but also varying them. (Like by having farms of different items)
But if this goes on monthly do you think we could change it up a bit so its not the same everytime? Like one month its how efficient the farms are then the next its the design then etc?
I think that's a good idea, for the sake of not confusing people this time, I'll implement this next time. For now, it's a mix of all this.
