I thought there were 11 entrants in Magic/Arcane?
Either way, the video looks nice and there is some real impressive work on the bases. Can't wait to see how yall choose

LOL I was seriously out classed in this event 
@1st. Son
Help Agent Martin in: A Favor for Liberty
AE arc #381565
My 1st. Video: Agent Martin in the new tutorial zone.
I was going to add Forum Handle/Global Handle details if that was okay with people... once I find out who is who.
I think we had 10 entrants, but 2 didn't have any work to show.
I do apologize in advance if anyone feels I missed something in their creation, but keep in mind I'm trying to compress them all into 1 quick video tour of the categories... plus I think I've now logged 12+ hours into touring and my harddrive space is being eaten up as these sit in a folder waiting to be added to overall video.
Quick Tech/Science video tour added above. (Page 4 - Post 76)
While I do appreciate the time and effort that went into creating the videos, I can only watch a few minutes at a time. With them being recorded in a "First person" perspective, including lots of quick edits and direction changes, it's causing a bit of motion sickness for me. Hopefully there won't be a lot of folks getting motion sickness from watching them.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!

That was a concern of mine, Rangle. The quick movement doesn't bother me in the slightest, but I have a few friends who are bothered by first person quickness too.
With the limited space on my PC and the amount of details per 37 total bases... I felt this was the only way I was going to meet both ends in paying tribute to the creators and having a memorial of sorts to the contest.

I do suggest the channel for both new and established base-editors. I know that others do as well, but I've been known to run the occasional 'crash-course' lab for some aspect or another of base building, most notably recessed and inset pieces (stacking into floors/roof/other objects) or "RP Scale Spacing for Bases 101".|

If you haven't joined the "BaseBuildersInc." chat channel in the game, can you please do so, as this is were many of us "hang out" nightly to arrange tours of each other's bases. Anytime you are on, please post a shout-out in the channel if you are offering a tour, requesting one, or are wanting to join a tour group in progress. Also, if anyone knows of any other channels popular with Basers where tours are often arranged, please let us know the names of those channels here. Many of us hope this contest can help bring the Baser community closer together to share tips, ideas, and tours. Thanx. -War Base- |
I know we're always glad to give pointers, tend to offer to show people around if they need inspiration in a design-style we build with, and even simply provide comfort/commiseration when you're suffering from Desk Poisoning!
In-game (and from any server since it's global) just type "/chan_join BaseBuildersInc." and notice the dot at the end! Or, well, copy and paste everything between the quotes!
That said, I now have my most-fearsome task...I have a Photobucket account; how do I link my base pics here?!

Go to your User CP, Under Settings & Options on the side menu, Edit Options, scroll to the bottom where there is a box labeled "Message Editor Interface", select the WYSIWIG option, (save).This will give you all the nifty editing tools in your post message window.
Next, open your Photobucket pic in another tab. There should be a "direct link" url option for your pic.; copy it.
In your forum reply/message window, click on the "Insert Image" button
. Paste the "direct link" url in the pop up box. That should do it.

Quick Modern/Livable 1 of 2 video tour added (Page 4 - Post 76)
Also wanted to say that after judging for Mr/Ms Paragon last night, I went and tried upgrading my personal base last night due to all the inspiration this contest has infected me with... uh, yea... you all are amazing! I kept getting frustrated trying to just decorate the simple Entry Room. Didn't even get 5% done in an hour. Dunno how you all do it so quickly and so well.
Ya I've been so buzy with RL I haven't really had a chance to see if I could check out the others Bases! I have to say I had a LOT of fun with this competition & Damn if only the changes to base editting came out a little sooner some of the process would have been so much easier LOL!
Oh here's a link to a few shots of the base I designed since the Judging Phaze is almost done:
PERC Base 1 - Justice Magic Catagory
Confusion is Lord & Chaos is my Best Friend!! Shall I introduce you??
MArc# 5232 Bastet's Unleashing *a Solo-able arc*
Gae'Atha- lvl 50 Emp/Ele/Psi Def
Sekmet's Fel Blood- lvl 50 Rad/Ther/GW Corr
Just curious...
Whens the results come out officially?
I cant seem to find it said anywhere.
I see that judging goes till the 22nd, so winners are announced... say, the 23rd?
I am not rushing by any means, just curious is all.
Gonna be out for Turkey Day week (mostly), just seeing if I need to pop on and see who won!
Many thanks for having the competition!
It was a blast!
We'll have them posted by the end of Tuesday.

hope it doesnt take you that long to get out of the base I ...uh... "designed"...
remember /stuck is your friend
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
ROFLMAS does this mean we should be worried if the PERC Judges have to send for help to get out? 
That remind's me of a a couple of Slacker's Bases, I swear he's a master of Mazes! 
Got to see some of the increadable Bases tonight, Awesome & Dang I definately don't Envy the judges either!

I am fully willing to admit that the first time I toured your base I cheated and use the base edit mode to get through (after trying for about 7 minutes and failing miserably). On my 2nd tour of it with the other PERC Reps I was able to successfully complete the tour on my own lol! Those invisible ceilings were so tricky!

Quick Modern/Livable 2 of 2 & Freestyle/Player's Choice 1 of 2 video tours added (Page 4 - Post 76)... final Freestyle 2 of 2 should be up overnight.
Mr. Hassenpheffer, your "Insanitarium Librarium" or whatever you call it is at 8:50 on Freestyle 1 of 2... somehow I found my way to the top first time and almost got it right again second time. First time I experienced anything like that.
The Player Event Resource Committee would like to thank all of the contestants of "Design Challenge - Bases on a Budget". It was absolutely remarkable what each of you built with only 300k prestige. The judges and other PERC members were so impressed by the creativity, talent, and effort put into this contest. Selecting the winners was an incredibly difficult task. Every base is very unique and special in it's own right, and each builder should be extremely proud!

Congratulations everyone! This was a fun contest
Yay!
Join @BaseBuildersInc. for help and ideas into the world of Amazing Super Bases.
Congratulations everyone!!!! Awesome bases!
@Tax E - RIP CoH 2012
Congratz to all the winners and a huge, huge thanx to all that participated.
Some of my top picks made it, some didn't. That's democracy!
Still... hope you all had as much fun creating and designing as I did touring and rapidly recording them for all to see. I do not kid when I say it was inspiring on some level to see each and every submission.

I'm ... flabbergasted.... *faints*
... and humbly honored.
Seriously, I was very impressed with the competition. Like I said earlier, did not envy the judges at all... So many clever concepts and nifty implementations.
Good job, everyone; and Congrats to the winners.
And I'd also like to add thanks to Fulmens... our marketeering benefactor and "Base Angel".

Notes:
Video shot during a second pass through the base and not the initial tour.
The amount of time spent per recording is based on what I felt I needed to capture.
Base # in lower left-hand corner as its tour begins.
Base order is by which fit with the music timing, and nothing else.
My apologies in advance to any designers who feel I missed an important detail in the recording, which I'm sure I did.
Thank you to the owners who joined us on Vent. It made the experience for me much more enjoyable.
Connecting Base # to respective designer in Info and Annotations may still in progress.
I will add more details in the video descriptions later.
Hope they're somewhat enjoyable to watch as I had touring.
