¶ A New Home
Announcement to all survivors.
Some time has passed since the horrible events that happened in the fall of Stone Ville. Since then a few survivors have made a safe haven and invite those who have managed to keep going make a home there. Since it's dangerous to travel overworld in these post-apocalyptic times, access is limited to the underground.
I implore you all to seek refuge and help rebuild a small society so we can start again. It's going to be difficult, but the walls will hold, or so we hope.
Bloodstone
Let this be known as the name of our new home and safe from the aftermath of such a tragedy.
This building contest is set post-apocalyptic that takes place after the events of Stone Ville. That contest result can be found here.
You do not have to have participated in Stone Ville to participate in Bloodstone. The rules are fairly simple, building materials and designs should be a bit smaller and built of 'scavenged' items, so nothing will be all pretty materials. This however doesn't mean things can't be tidy and neat. Lighting should be kept basic as well, there's no electricity in a post-apocalyptic world, torches, fire, etc. Sort of ramshackled but don't feel you have to be completely cheap! Your small home could be filled with junk you found after the apocalypse.
A few people complained about using 'scavenged buildings' since this is a secured area you're "moving in" so there's no buildings to take over. As such, there's also no buildings to scavenge items from, this would have limited the imagination of builders. There was also no set apocalypse type, as there wasn't one in the original Stone Ville contest.
The location of Bloodstone is only found via the Nether. From Central: Eastern line toward Townshend > THIRD substation, supershroom > In the substation main floor in the corner > Bloodstone.
When you arrive topside, you'll see a walled area that's been kept natural except a small road and a few survivors. When you pick an area, you must follow the road pattern and connect it to the main road, please keep plots about 12x12, though there's no real limit, the could be bigger or smaller. Be considerate of others space. Be careful digging underground, while the main site is secure, underground is not. Neither is outside the walls. Not keeping the place secure for fellow survivors earns you being kicked out of the group!
After the 15th, if there's space available, you may build another building, however, only one will be judged, so label which one you want judged. Also, you are allowed to help others with their buildings if they want, this is a surviving community after all, but only the location claimer will earn the prize for the build if chosen.
