    Okay, so if you have been paying attention to the above stated thread you will know what this is about ;)

    I have been nominated to put together a team of builders to create a Hunger Games map to be used in rotation in the up and coming Hunger Games server. I plan to keep this group to only a small handful of people as to not have clashing, chaos, and messy building. However if enough really good builders decide to jump on board we can do a larger group.

    If you are a talented builder capable of working well with a team and intelligent enough to look at themes and environments and stay consistent with the other members of a group when building please post below.

    In your post please include what your specialty in minecraft is that would make you a valuable addition to the team. Also include some pictures of your own work that you solely are responsible for. Your application will not be looked into if you have a history of being untrustworthy, problematic, or short attention span. This will be a large, time consuming project.

    If there is enough interest in this and I can get a good solid group of builders I will go ahead and start work on this project and we can get our own server to group build this on. Please also take into consideration when applying if you are put on the team but are found to not be what you presented yourself as or you fail to contribute and be an asset, or you bicker and fight causing issues with the group you will be removed.

    What we will be making is a balanced, fun to play over and over hunger games map. This map will be a large investment of time considering we are talking about a very large map possibly 600x600 or slightly larger. There will be attention to lots of detail, there will be: traps, hidden treasure rooms (possibly requiring a puzzle to be solved to get the loot), advanced construction of a wide variety of buildings, Terraforming, advanced terrain development to promote tactical thinking while in combat, Environmental hazards. Everything in this map will be tactically designed to provide a fun balanced battlefield for up to 24 players to enjoy.

    What i need is a good core of advanced committed builders willing to put time and effort into doing quality work. If you think you have what it takes and want to leave your stamp on an epic map, apply below. Serious interest only.

    *edit* All current Architects need not provide proof of ability, you have already done that :) just show your interest and be willing to commit serious time to the project.

    I dont see a set way of apply so i'll just address everything you brought up.
    Are you a talented builder capable of working well this a team?
    Yes I work well with people but i can also work solo on certain areas if i need to.
    Can you stay consistent with other members of a group when building?
    Yes if i see a build style I can match it and build new designs like it.
    Include a specialty in minecraft that would make you a valuable addition
    Im good with making crumbled looking buildings that look like they have been destroyed by the weather or time. I'm also good with terraforming which will be a big part of this build.
    Please include pictures of what you have built.
    All the pictures cant be posted but you can view them HERE

    I thought it would be cool with some kind of Valley surrounded by high mountains with maybe a village in, and a castle and caves and stuff

    Consider myself that , yes. I enjoy building with others :)
    Can you stay consistent with other members of a group when building?
    Usually, depends on what style they're building in, but adopting the colour (block) scheme is almost never a problem!
    Include a specialty in minecraft that would make you a valuable addition
    I love to make "living" landscapes and buildings. I love to terraform hills and forestes. As I said, I try to make my buildings realistic and actually usefull ("living") by adding details and layouts that makes sense.
    Please include pictures of what you have built.

    Are you a talented builder capable of working well this a team?
    I would like to say i am a wizard at world edit from creating basic shapes to terraforming, when it comes to hand building i would like to say i am capable of doing good builds.
    Can you stay consistent with other members of a group when building?
    I would so most of the time, it would depend on the style of the build and the materials being used but it wouldnt be a problem for me!

    In minecraft i do love to make builds as realistic as possible, not so it's floating or has lava fountains etc im a very down to earth builder.
    Please include pictures of what you have built.

    May I suggest making it for more than 24 people? I have been on a few sucessful HG servers and they allow more than 24 people. I dont really know the pros and cons of allowing more than or just 24 people at once really.

    Maybe once you build the map make one spawn area fit for 24 people and one spawn area fit for 24+ people?

    JUST a suggestion don't take this as something you have to do since I'm not even helping build the map

    24 people is the map size natbyte wants. And 24 people is a good sized match I don't see need to make that larger, if we get that many people playing HG consistently we are doing really good.

    The pictures you show are enhanced using shaders, while i can appreciate that this wasn't to see what your stuff looks like enhanced on shaders. Shaders make most anything look tons better. That aside the builds you chose to show are very small but the attention to detail is what sold me. Will need a lot of attention to detail :) welcome to the team.
    ~~~
    While I don't much like it when people steal other people's ideas I do like your creativity. I have seen your stuff on other maps as well. We need people with a creative mind on this project :) welcome to the team.
    ~~~
    Again, I'm not to fond of people who steal other peoples ideas instead of making their own :p I do like your build style, you seem to pay attention to the details. You also seem to have an understanding of arches and layering which is a plus :) im not familiar with you as a player but I am looking forward to seeing what you can contribute to this build. Welcome to the team.

    If I do help, I would like my idea for a map to be built first. (Gotta have a little black mail involved. ;))

    We make it a brass-styled Steampunk city that has been completely destroyed and left in ruins. In the middle of the map is a crater with a crashed meteorite in the ground that had smashed through several large lowering buildings overhead. This is where the spawn chests would be. Outside of this area, would be the main city, crumbling in the ruins, you'd be able to access skyways and destroyed rail tracks by going up.

    I could probably go into more detail in game about it if anyone would like to see that. :p
