sorry for teh long delay, your points are very valid @Azuries great to get some feedback.

Im still waiting for @godsdead to realease BOTY so  i can release March and Sort out April BOTM.

nothing has been canelled (yet) @smokeyriver

That prize idea is fantastic, its the one thing we do struggle on is finding out what would be really attractive to players. Consolation prizes could be some kind of jokey prizes too maybe, ” i entered this competition and all i got was this louzy fish” haha.

Protecting the builds is the main priority, mainly for those that wish to visit and plus its your time to show it off without any griefing etc. I dont know how we wuld eb able to protect the players, i feel if i started doing that then the whoel server would take adavtage of it, saying dont kill me im buildoing for BOTM but really not. besides we are pirates afterall?

maybe if we could come up with a way of solving this issue? i also feel that it will restrict building plots if we did protect the players.

anythiung else to add to the rules would be amazing, i will get on to releasing these posts ASAP and get back on track.
