    Hey Brawlers,

    I've been thinking of this new idea to advertise Brawl (and it's free)!

    This idea has two parts:

    1. Make Brawl's Build Team "official" by making a PMC (Planetminecraft) account. The account could be called, for example, Team Brawl.
    2. Post a cool build/builds there every month. Instead of a download for the build, give the ID of the map the build is on at minecraftbuild.brawl.com. or whatever the IP is
    The magic behind the idea (you have to read this to understand the two points before):

    PMC is a very popular website for Minecrafters and had an option for users to skins, builds etc. on the platform. If the build is good it gains attention really fast. For example this simple build (http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/manor-of-rangat-by-mrbatou-download/) got almost a 1500 views in two days and almost 200 downloads. The Brawl Build Team is very capable of building something like that, as me myself, started a similar build and got the terrain done in almost one day alone. (And we have a whole team.) I am also aware that the Build Team doesn't really have that much to do usually, as I almost never see them on the build server (staff only build server). The account on PMC could be called, as I said, Team Brawl (suggestions are welcome) or just the currect one (as Brawl has a vote site on PMC).

    As I said, instead of a giving a download, the build would be on a public minecraftbuild map, for everyone to see. This would of course boost Brawl's player count, disregarding the fact every player sees what server made in the name and description.

    Our Build Team could build one of those builds I showed before, a bundle of builds (tree bundle, suburban house bundle etc.) or something else every month. Example of a bundle build: http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/the-god-tree-pack/.
    The pictures in the showcase should also be mostly rendered to look cool (mostly isometric; equal dimensions). The Media Team could do that (or @DeZilla; he has great renders). Chunky is a good (and free) rendering program.

    The showcase description of the build would of course sneakily advertise Brawl.

    TL;DR
    Make a Brawl Build Team account on PMC and make cool builds which everyone can see, thus advertising Brawl.

    Thanks for reading!

    I am all in on this idea, so I will start off with my +1.
    I think anything that could be done to further advertise our server is an excellent idea. Also, it would give the build team an opportunity to test out potential members in a low risk way. An, "audition" or something similar to a trial run like JMOD currently has. That is just another potential positive I could see to this being implemented.

    Nice, now you need to do what I suggested. Just a nice semi-sized build like in my first example and a cool render - and boom - you've got some attention. Big maps like the ones featured on Brawl's account aren't very popular.

    Also if this is going to become something, as it requires effort from mostly the Build Team, not you, maybe a public announcement could be made to encourage others to subscribe to the account/give diamonds.

    Good idea in my opinion man and if I'm honest it's way better than people just going onto random servers and saying
    '' Come to Brawl if you like Build servers'' :wink:

    The Build Team is far too busy with making builds to be used for actual Brawl server content. Having them make builds for PMC would ultimately be a waste of time. I'd rather have them make server content which helps Brawl retain players and advertise through other means.

    At the end of the day people aren't browsing PMC submissions to join servers. They just want to download content or see the images. At best, I could see it benefiting Build.

    Perhaps we could showcase community builds found on Build.

    It's not a waste of time if it helps bring players. If you're worried about wasting time, easy fix: Get more builders.

    Unfortunately this is easier said than done.

    Why not advertise the Brawl related content? We have some excellent maps and things done in the past that could be put on to show.
