you've clearly never played an actual rpg if you think the definition is that simple

incorrect because Rpg is Role playing game and who says your not role playing as a fisher

going by how the actual rpg genre is used in gaming (not random servers on minehut) an RPG where you only fish would at core not be an RPG

i could release my server and you can see but ehh

good idea

how would that even work what

I'd say a weekend, similar to game jams. I'd say a maximum of four per team, as to not diffuse the prize too much. Credits + special rank for winner(s), credits for runner-up(s). Yes, as this will help give the contestants some ideas and make it easy to compare servers. Staff team will pick like ten or so, and community vote will narrow it down to a winner + 2 runner ups.

i'm already making a parkour server lol

you should start the event at 150 players in the group

another thing you can do is post a theme then a hour before say the event change it

ok

We're more likely to use a website than a skript, but I like the idea.

get like 10 themes and randomly select them with a skript or something

The reason we are asking for a theme is it prevents people from getting a head start on their servers.

I think 24 hours would be best for this type of server competition. Team of 3, monitored by a team leader signing up with the 1-2 other names on a list with them. Cosmetic rank Maybe instead of a single theme, there could be a list to pick from, or a theme with a challenge. Also this could be once per month, and if some people record themselves working on the server, you could make a timelapse for the whole competition. Either community vote, or if it is staff team vote then staff can not compete.

Hey, During summer, Minehut should host a massive summer build competition on the event server (MHEvent) sometime in June. Length: 2-3 weeks Theme: Summer Worldedit: If FastAsyncWorldedit has a 1.14 release by then, allow players to use worldedit Prize: Exclusive cosmetic rank ingame & on discord, and a small sum of credits. Judging: Panel of judges which take community input

HYPE!!! I'd say a couple days to a week. I don't think there should be sign-ups beforehand. Since there isn't much of a way to regulate teams, it'd just be best to allow any size teams. The prize could be an exclusive cosmetic rank on discord & in-game until the next event (as @XXXCanadian pointed out). Or perhaps the prize would be featuring the server. This contest would work just well without a theme. I like the idea of a summer theme (given the time of year) although I was hoping that could be perfect for a build contest. Not sure how the book/movie theme would work out though. Panel of judges narrow the selections down to top ~3 and the community is given a couple hours to vote.

I think the Theme Should be Parkour. The winner Should be Decided on a Staff Team and the Prize Should be a Custom Rank Which is kept until the next event. I say at most a Team of 2 people and you should have 24 hours to create the server. also the MOTD of the server should include something like EVENT SERVER PARKOUR During the staff team voting i think they should vote on Builds, Skript/cmdblocks, lag and Effects another theme could be a Fishing RPG
