    Introduction

    Well, after my recent loss (grief) of my Twilight Co. Firework Store which stored over 50 different fireworks, all made carefully and with patience by hand to have the best possible look and display when let off, I would like to see events hosted as a tribute to all those fireworks which were sadly lost.

    The Contest
    In order to take part on the contest players will have to state they are joining the contest on the forums. Later, players will have to design and craft their fireworks in a time period of 30 days until the deadline comes. Later players will have to join a specified map in which players will show their fireworks. (A) chosen player(s) - builder(s) will have to judge which is the best looking one. The top 3 will get prizes such as ranks or coupons.

    Rules
    • Each firework will have to be made by the player itself using a crafting table and the needed items.
    • Copying fireworks from other players will get you disqualified.
    • You can only have 1 firework.
    Those rules are pretty much it.



    I would like to hear your opinion, ideas or suggestions on that. Feel free to comment down below. I am loosing forward to hear your feedback.

    Can't you just make all the fireworks and then have everyone charged with copying

    I have a few myself:
    1. First I don't get why fireworks were disabled in the first place, could someone explain? (question for our lovely staff team)
    2. Next, why would you make fireworks if you can't use them?
    3. Why 1 firework?
    4. Why 30 days for 1 firework?
    5. When you join the map to launch the fireworks, for the staff to see, you need more details, will the staff take shifts watching, or deos everyone go at once, and what about people in a timzone that where its a bad time?
    6. What if someone sips in a second firework?

    1. They aren't disabled, are they?
    2. What I said above.
    3. Obvious reasons. The same reason we upload only one map for build contests.
    4. Designing and crafting it to be unique. Maybe we can lower it to two weeks but 30 days so that everyone notices the contest.
    5. There will be a few chosen players - builders (some known people), preferably 6-8 and will all of them joining in the same time which has been decided before hand. Time zone concerns are unfortunately a serverwide problem and no one can do something for that. A time should be chosen which is suitable for the most possible players.
    6. Only one will count.

    1. I'm not 100% on it right now, but in January I know you could have them, but not launch them, like the rest of the projectiles.
    2. ^
    3. Most people only have one map, and maps are bigger.
    4. Agreed.
    5. Ok, Ok, duh, and duh.
    6. How would one only judge one if two are shot?

    5. I don't think you quite get me. A special map will be designed my builders and there will be the place where the firework will be let off.
    6. The judges will ask the player to chose only one of his fireworks and confirm it to be the used one.

    I don't think this could work due to how difficult it would be to keep track of who made what firework. There is also some "illegal" fireworks that are hidden around the server that some players have access to. It would be very easy to copy designs off google/youtube and we wouldn't even know.

    Fireworks are enabled but dispensers are not. So players would all have to launch them when someone says so or give them to the judges, which I doubt they would do easily.

    It was also easy for some to copy skins from various sites on last year's halloween skin contest (talking from experience).

    Why wouldn't they launch their fireworks when they are doing it for a prize?

    Not 100% sure if they are disabled or not tbh, I've never tried using them. However, fireworks can cause lag due to the high amount of particles they make, so that's probably why if they are disabled.
