Yes, it is yet another building contest!
Halloween is coming and we are approaching our 3rd anniversary of Insomniac Servers. So once again we shall be having a Halloween themed contest because there are lots of things that can be made for it.

Builds must be completed in time for Halloween. A winner will be picked on the evening of Friday October 31st. Darthjahona will be the only judge so that means that everyone can enter, no matter how high a rank you are. (For now, the classic server maps are restricted to EpicBuilder to stop the noobs going there and building completely random stuff like hotels!)

People can build in either Classic or Retail.

-On Classic please build on your own map and screen shot your entry.

-On Creative (retail) there will be a special map and warp.  Use warp Halloween2014 or use the Halloween Buildoff Board at /spawn. The map is a flat map so pick a free spot somewhere and build there.  Please leave room between other players builds.

When your done with your build put a screenshot of it and the coordinates in this post to show you entered.

Conditions
- You must build alone.

- Builds must be created new. Previous builds cannot be used as entries.

- Builds should not be copied from things that other people made, like this post was copied from darthjahona who copied it from Bren4q.

- Any messing around or modifying other people's builds is grounds for disqualification and- as is tradition- a dutch rub.

- Command blocks ARE allowed in builds on the creative server.  Ask any moderator to make it for you, but you must supply the command.  (The moderator will make the block, but you have to tell the moderator what to put in it!) If no moderators are availiable, PM us on the forums.


Any questions, just ask.
Best of luck!

Here is an example submission:

Description: A Halloween pyramid.  I think it really summarizes how Halloween is something we all build upon, to make each year better than the one before it and  blah blah blah...

What if I took an idea or concept from an anime? Will I get disqualified for it?

The impossible can be possible if you yearn to achieve it. -MB
[spoiler]Practice is good but I'd like to say it is not everything. Some people hit a 'plateau' and they practice for hours and hours but they just don't seem to get any better. It is mental. Escape the fate. There is no destiny because you can make your own. Talent does not exist, or if it does I do not have it. There is no such thing as gifted. If someone can do it, if it's possible, I can do it. You and I can become infinitely better. Maybe natural talent does exist, but it really doesn't matter because i'll overcome it. Fuck talent, fuck biology, and fuck a diceroll. I want to be the best and I'll rise no matter what. It's this psycho attitude which makes me 'so good'. -Wonderland (tf2 pro soldier/rocket jumper)[/spoiler]

No as long as it's still has some originality to it.
Step into the prehistoric era and come face to face with some of the greatest animals to ever walk the Earth!

Okay. Are we allowed to use texture packs?
Sorry for the double post.

Assuming that the rules are basically the same as the 2013 Christmas buildoff, Texture packs are legal as long as you add it to your submission post as well as where to aquire it.
