Town x is hiring: Build a Hobbit Hole [Completed]
« on: 19 Mar 2018, 23:41:05 »
Hello community,

Polish up your shovels, pickaxes, and get rid of the splinters on the workbench. It's time to stretch those muscles and get ready to spend a day, a weekend, a week or two building in town x. Get your decoration chests and resources ready to be put to good use.

Town x is looking for creative builders who are familiar with a natural / medievil (or rather, not a modern) style of building. Do you have experience with creating a nice and cozy looking hobbit hole? And have the time in March/April to build something awesome for us? Then you're certainly the person we're looking for.

There are currently 8 plots (See video) that I will put up as embassy plots. If we pick you for the job you can claim those as yours and you can get started.

You're free to terraform the environment to fit your creativity, and as any hobbit hole, build down into the ground I guess, with a nice above ground round door opening. Just use common sense. Perhaps get inspired by some existing designs on the server or google images, youtube etc.

You will make the builds on behalf of town x. They become our property so to speak. After the build is finished we're free to customize it, take it down, rebuild it, sell the plots to players who want to live there. So it seems logical to compensate you for your troubles. And so we will.

You will get some money to help you repair your items and cover the cost of some of your resources that you yourself will supply. And you will get some money for simply taking the time to build on the plots. But, since we're paying, I think it's fair to say it should be more than a dirt hut or a square house with a roof made out of 16 logs of wood.. you know what I mean.

We can offer you a 175,000 nbz to cover your time, your costs, resources, and to say thank you for the hard work in March/April. (it would be nice if it is done before April 14th.

We're looking for a friendly and cozy looking place with a creative approach, decorations, and basically something that's clear some effort has been put into it. Please only reply to this thread if you have a bit more than the basics of the building know-how and experience. It's a plus if you've made hobbit holes before of course.

What about credits? I am like davinci and demand my swag .. ok stop.. don't worry. You're free to leave a sign locked to a block (that's not in the way if ppl would live there) with your name on it. What is ok : build made by yourName, from town whatever.. What is not ok: like these builds? join town whatever (no advertisements,. basically).

In February I made a thread with some additional information, in case you're looking for more hiring jobs (there will be, keep an eye on the forums). https://www.noobscraft.com/market/heads-up-town-x-hiring-builders-in-march/

Can I apply Floris?
Yes! Just reply to this thread.. and in a day (or so) I will update the thread. Sometimes we will pick someone based on knowing how they build, or simply because they were the first to reply: Please do not take it personal if you don't get picked.

Can I build with my friends?
Sure, we pay you.. if you want your friends to help you or pay them to help you.. that's fine. Just know you're responsible: If they grief the plot, I will come hunt you both down.

Wait, I have to use my own resources?
Yep, I am not always online, and waiting for me to show up to give you a beacon for example is unrealistic. I hope instead of paying 50k, I pay at least tripple as much for this job to help compensate in costs/resources.

This is made for town x right, it will be like .. yours. When we're done?
Yep, you are simply helping us out adding some more things to our town.

What if I really like what I made, can I copy it to my own plot/wild/town?
If YOU made it, you are free to copy that. Yeah, I think that's more than fair.
If YOU did not make it, then we consider it stealing town designs. We play fair. <3

I went to the hobbit plots but couldn't claim any plots?!
Please wait for me to get online. That way we can guarantee the right person gets the plots.

Anyway. Thank you for reading this, get motivated, sharpen those tools and keep an eye on the forums, there will be a couple of threads per week(end) surely.

Questions? well, ... shoot!

Cool to hear you have an interest

It took a bit to post, i had to make the video, encode it, upload to youtube, embed it properly, update the copy/pasted text to the new stuff, re-read over it so it made sense, link back to the first thread i created and update the title (guess where it went wrong :p haha)

Update:

Diamondpuppy808 got the hobbit hole job. I gave this thread a bit more time but didn't see cruisinski online or other people, and diamond is active right now and a super nice person as well.  Looking forward to some fun hobbit hole design :)

Don't worry if you missed out: more hobbit hole threads coming still, along with a few other things

Diamond, don't forget to leave the custom terrain trees in place, vanilla trees are easier to remove/place back, but .. custom ones are prettier and harder to replace. Just kinda build around it, or embed it into the build :) i thought i'd point that out

Update post:

Diamond has been putting in some hours to work on mining out the area, build a hallway and connect little rooms to it.
It's a great start, there are some attention to details in the build that I like, but there could be made a few adjustments, and a few more areas for people to 'live' so to speak.
I am going to give it a few more days to allow diamond to work on the decoration and details a bit more before I walk through it and take note of things I might like to change up a bit.

This job runs until April 14th-ish, so we're on schedule and a lot has already been done. I might myself start soon on a bit of terraforming and building around the area. But I will be back with some constructive feedback for little things to change before i can say i consider it done.

Nice work so far Diamond. Keep it up!

Update post:

I mark the job as completed in the title and I will lock the thread.

Nice job on getting started Diamond, and thanks for using Cruis' hobbit build as an example for inspiration as well. Together last week we were able to work a bit more on the inside - which could use a bit more work. And at least there's something now that I can take to the next level. You have done a great job for someone who's not made many hobbit holes and the help is appreciated. Thank you. I'd rate this a 7,5 or even an 8 out of 10, just because the area now on the outside and inside can be changed and tweaked even more so. And also because you helped out and was fun to work together with. (sometimes ppl take a build job and disappear or do things last minute). Thanks again.
