It's that time of year again: time for Oktoberfest!
The annual BoBS Oktoberfest celebration features food and drink, contests of skill, games and amusements, traditional/historical costumes, food and drink (did we mention food and drink?), and more.
But this year there’s a twist: It’s a Classic Pirate celebration as well!
Normally the big Oktoberfest celebration takes place in Weelond, but this year things move east to the Eslandolan hamlet of Punto Sur on Maldria in the New Haven Sea. So far there is only a trading post at the settlement, so there’s a lot of room for growth.
Rules:
Entries for this year’s Oktoberfest should showcase a property built in the Classic Pirate aesthetic, either in traditional 1989 form or updated for 2020 style and techniques.
Your entry should show an Oktoberfest activity in Punto Sur, with an emphasis on a growing colonial outpost. Show new residents taking part in the festivities while making a new life in the islands. Entries should represent licensable properties.
In addition to posting your entry in the forum (ideally with a [OKT] tag in the title), please post a link to your build in this thread and in the Punto Sur settlement thread. Entries must be posted by October 31.
Categories:
Categories are for six property types: Artisan, Commerce, Factory, Residence, Education, and Culture. Identify what category you're entering when you post your entry. Entries will be judged on presentation, quality of build, story, fit with Punto Sur's architectural style (Classic Pirate, both retro and modern), and fit with the Oktoberfest/festival theme. The only size requirement is a 16x16 minimum.
Prizes:
The top entry in each category will win a free small property license, to be activated by microbuild, usable only in the New Haven Sea. An overall winner will have his license upgraded to a large property, and the overall runner-up will have his license upgraded to a medium property.
Builders will also be reimbursed for licensing costs for any property licensed through the EGS, or Capt Wolf will purchase (at 3x the license cost) any property a builder does not wish to license.
