Town x is hiring: Build a Hobbit Hill [Completed]
« on: 31 Mar 2018, 11:37:25 »
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 / middle earth style of building. Do you have experience with creating a nice and cozy looking hobbit hole? And have the time in April to build something awesome for us? Then you're certainly the person we're looking for.

There are currently 4 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  April. (it would be nice if it is done before the end of April.

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 later today 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!

Oh, 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, cruis make quite some progress, yesterday I heard it was basically finished. This was done quick! There are a few things that need to be done still, and I will make a little video probably when I have the time just to point those out and see what we can do. The ceiling could use a little bit of work upstairs for example. I heard Cruis say he wanted to plant the custom tree on the hill again, and I see loads of locked items that need to get unlocked. More details of the build will be in the video and i will post it here.

This build runs until the end of April-ish. So we're far ahead on schedule and in no rush. It looks great, it's complete with the right mood and theme for a hobbit hole and matches the build style of our town. It's got decorations, attention to detail, integrated with the outside world, and I think i am almost ready myself to do a bit of building around it.

I'd say this is a progress update, but we're already almost done with that one. Crazy! Very nice work.

Update, thread marked as Completed, thank you Cruis for helping out!

Review 9/10, would hire again. The old hill turned out pretty great. It was super fun to see cruis build pretty fast without compromise in quality or creativity. He made the hill and went beyond by embedding it with the environment, the path, the road in front of it, the custom tree on top. It matched the style Mistic_ice and I really enjoy building in as well.

Marking this thread as completed and locking it, if someone wants to see it, just give me a poke and I can teleport you to the hobbit hill.

I am pretty sure I will spend another 30 to 40 minutes just tweaking little things and get help from Mistic or Killjoy to do a bit more with the surroundings outside the hill.
