    Would you consider yourself experienced with WorldEdit? Why? - Yes, I know all of the commands or the majority, I have been using this since I started on build (2 years ago). I mainly use this only for copying and pasting and rather use voxel sniper for things generally builders use world edit for. I would rate myself 8/10.

    Would you consider yourself experienced with VoxelSniper? Why? - I have been using voxel sniper for a few months and I have learnt all the commands. I mainly use this to make organics, terraform and large trees. I would rate myself again, 8/10.

    How active would you be on Brawl's Build Team? (A couple hours per week, one hour per day, etc.) - I can build for an hourish a day except Tuesdays where it'd probably be 30 mins. On the weekends I can push up to 3 hours.
    Why do you want to join Brawl's Build Team? - Quite a lot of my friends are on the build team and I would like to build with them. I would also like to create better maps for brawl as I feel that some maps need some work. I am more experienced with the CTF side of brawl however I could build party games and whatever else is needed.

    What would you consider your greatest strength with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) - I would say I'm good at terraforming and trees, I am also good at detailing and I love making organics.
    What would you consider your greatest weakness with building? (Detailing, Terraforming, Houses, Trees, Statues, etc.) - I cannot make statues very well but I'm not very good at structure either. However, with time I think I can improve with these.

    List any previous experience you have with building -
    I build for a server called MunchyMC (BadBoyHalo's server) however I can juggle between the 2. I also sell builds, sometimes for free on a website/forum called mcmarket.

    Pictures: (Include as many pictures of your builds as you can. If you do not include pictures, your application will be automatically denied. When possible, include proof that the builds are your own.)

    - this was for a build team i applied for /s

    Please insert a Yes / No poll below.

    I also consider myself a semi-professional world painter person. I have sold 1k - 5k maps and can build larger if requested.

    As a person, I think you're mature, hardworking and easy to get along with. In that respect you'd make a great addition to the Build team - much more so than the two who were previously accepted. You're also obviously very good at terraforming, which sets you apart from the legions of builders who only stick to flat maps.

    On the other hand, I'm not entirely convinced about your building style. If I had to describe it, I'd say it was messy. A huge part of that comes from you using the //replace tool too generously - it's used in at least half of your examples. To me, it seems like you're using it as a crutch to make your builds seem more detailed, when in fact it just makes it look more amateurish (I've been guilty of this in the past - see map 179777). If you stop using //replace so much you'll start to find new, better ways to make your build look busy.

    What's left over is the mushroom map, which looks amazing, and Santa's Town. Santa's town is really nice, but that medieval style is seen EVERYWHERE. While the builds on that map are original and do look really nice, they're nothing new; they're not exciting.

    You have so much potential, and it shows through in the mushroom map. But while this app is adequate, I don't think it's enough for the Build team (don't take that too harshly... I'd say the same for a few of the Builders in there now).

    My suggestion to you is to practice building styles that you're uncomfortable with; something inorganic. CTF maps can be a useful exercise because they mix terrain with structures. Here's a few ideas to try out:
    • Heavy machinery/industry
    • Abstract map based on a colour palette of red sand, birch wood and cyan wool
    • A town built on a 45 degree slope with no grass, wood or sandstone
    Good luck!

    Thanks for the feedback. I forgot a few builds, and yes I use the //replace alot ://. I would love to build a CTF map but ATM I have no ideas. I do however have a map that I'm going to submit which is poor aesthetically and quite unbalanced but is small and seems fast paced.

    It doesn't have to be a submittable map, I'm just saying from a design standpoint, it's good practice :smile:

    If you ask me it is quite weird if you want to submit a map, which you don't like yourself (your words), which you think has poor aesthetics and isn't balanced (all your words). It seems like you just want to submit it to have the feeling that one of your maps got accepted, if you ask me, that is not a good reason.

    What? I think it is a bit soldier op and archer op but I think some people prefer unbalanced maps. It's more fun and fast... And no, I don't really care, if anything you are the one that cares about your maps being in the rotation.

    Work on your maturity, what was stated by @Rhoske, and keep improving those worldpainter skills. PM if you have any questions.
