I am looking for the best builders and scripters in APN.
I am issuing a challenge to APN. You are to either do one of four things:
1.) Construct a Sci-Fi Space themed building, or anything using ROBLOX Parts.
2.) Write a script that serves a purpose, the level of complexity is your decision, but keep in mind that you'll need to write a script that displays your abilities as a scripter. It's best to do something that could help a clan, and it can be a combination of scripts. This is a rather vague choice.
3.) Build and script something, a combination of choices 1 and 2. An example of something that requires both is a space ship or a machine gun emplacement.
4.) Construct a fort or base location. It will need to be rather large, but not too much. You'll need to make sure there is more than one entrance into the base if it is meant for raiding, but allow all sides to be defended successfully by a determined group of defenders. You may add scripting if you are capable of it, but it is not required. The location you construct must be less than 2250 bricks total.
Those are your choices in this challenge. What's the reward you might ask? Why would you be doing this?
Possible Rewards:
1.) A lump sum of 355r for first place, 225r for second place, and 155r for third place. (BC members only, as you need to create a donation item).
2.) A chance to be invited into the Supreme Alliance Development Team being formed. I have asked other clans to do a similar thing, but this position is not given based on what place you are in. This is given to all those who show enough ability to create quality models at the professional level.
3.) Your name in the APN Group Description for a period of time, probably two weeks to a month, as the first place winner, or the top 3. (I will need to discuss this with Reaven, which is why I said "Possible" rewards).
4.) Of course, the honor of winning, your reputation increases, and you have a chance to display your skills. If you build something truly useful for APN, it might even be used, and all credit is given. I am not going to say you can be promoted, as that depends on your rank, but, this will help show you are active in APN, participate in APN, and are determined to help APN. All of those things will make getting promoted easier.
This is not an easy challenge, and it does require us to judge you. The judges have not been decided yet, but I will choose people who I know are either good builders or good scripters to judge your work. There's no need to ask, as I have already a few names in mind. You will be judged on three things.
How this is judged:
[Usefulness] The general usefulness of whatever you decide to make. Would this be useful for a clan or an individual? Would this be efficient enough to use in a place, on ROBLOX. (Known to have latency issues).
[Aesthetics] How does your creation look? This does apply for scripts as well, as they will need to look professional, though this is much easier for scripters to do. It will need to be easy to read. For builders, it must look good, without using too many parts that could lead to latency.
[Mistakes] This is a negative modifier towards how you will be rated. It is more see as an "Effort" rating. Does your building have obvious mistakes or errors? Did you mess something up, and not fix it for whatever reason? Does your script have bugs that the output displays? Does your script even work, or are there noticeable mistakes in the code?
I wish you all good luck with this challenge. This is not going to be easy, but I am sure we can find some people to participate. You will be rated on two separate scales. There will be the best scripters, and the best builders. Doing a combination of the two will put you on two scales, and it is possible to win first place twice.
Do not use any models you find on the catalog. I don't want to see a cannon script that has been reproduced 4000 times, or the plane script you see all over ROBLOX. I want to see entirely original models. It hurts you to slop together anything on the catalog. If you do, and you end up winning because we did not know, and then you are asked to script or building something far beyond your level of ability when you reach the development team, there will be issues.
You want to display your best abilities. Script and build everything you make from scratch.
If you have any questions or feel anything was difficult to understand, please post a reply related to that problem, or send me a message. Remember to check the forum after I reply to your question, however.
Thank you for your time, and I wish all of APN good luck!

I would troll or something, but since you helped me with my Clan Guide, I'll just say well done.
Good luck with it!

Dej, build something you haven't built for a previous contest.
Besides that, the boat wouldn't win much...
Joey, you can stick with just building if you want.
This is more of a focus on individual talent, so there should be no teams. |

Probably in a couple weeks. It's not like I want to really limit people. I'll give two weeks from when this was posted before I announce an entry due date.

Try learning, but scripting is not needed, and you might have a chance to learn some if you make it into the development team.
Though, you'll need to be a good builder. I have some skilled, professional, and well known people to judge the building side of this challenge.
All are skilled, a couple are professional, and a couple are well known to you as a builder and a soldier of APN, probably.

| Well, I can't access Roblox Studio at the moment, for some odd reason, so I may not be able to make it. |

Highlight all objects in the explorer.
I can count, it doesn't matter too much in the end, just keep in mind that you'd want people to fight without lagging, so careful on the number of bricks you use. |
