I feel Hometown is missing something... Something that I noticed several players enjoyed making, but hardly any event held for it...
Oh I know what it is!
Amen...
Welcome to Hometown's first official
ArtMap contest!
What's one more contest, right?
Over a course of a month I've poured my blood, sweat, and tears into an overly huge build and an entire new plugin just for this contest. And now it is finally ready!
I hope you enjoy it!
Please read on for answers to your questions.
How does the contest work?
Warp to the art contest (/warp art_contest), pick a plot you want, and right click the sign in front and to right of the plot to claim it. Then you will be able to sit at the easel in the plot and start painting something related to the theme of this contest! Anyone can join, even non-VIP players! If you are new to making artmap, please read near the bottom of this post for a brief instruction on how ArtMap works.
I know there are people that make better art than me, and players that make worse art than me (no offense), so I'm trying to make the contest as fair as possible for everyone.
There are a total of 5 different categories for this contest; most of them are not based on your drawing skills. These are
Most Creative
Most Original
Most Detailed
Cutest
Trekkie's Personal Favorite
Each of these categories has a totally sweet reward for the winner. Your artwork will be entered in all of these categories, but it can only win one category. Everyone participating in the contest will still get some great rewards at the end of the contest.
One more thing! You can add a brief description for your artwork. The description can be written in a book or on a renamed item. Put them in the barrel behind the easel. At the end of the contest I will check the barrel for the art description.
What's the theme for this contest?
The theme is... Summer time!
Your art can be anything related to summer time. If you have some troubles coming up with an idea, here's a few questions that may help you brainstorm. What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear/see "summer"? What do you usually do during summer time? Is there something you look forward to in summer every year? Do you have a holiday you participate in during summer?
When does the contest start/end?
The contest starts... RIGHT NOW! And it will last until the end of May. You have a whopping entire month to work on your art!
What's the rules for this contest?
Don't break anything at the warp or try to get out of the warp area.
Don't use anything that convert a picture into a pixel art for you. I want to see your real skills.
Your friends can give you tips on your artwork, but they can't make the artwork for you.
Claim only one plot and make only one artwork. You can't use your alts. If your siblings are participating in the contest too, please let me know before the end of the contest so I don't disqualify you.
No NSFW material, please.
Please leave your artwork on the easel until the winners have been picked out. At the end of the contest you will be able to save your artwork for personal use.
How does ArtMap works?
There is an easel in the center of every plot. You right click the easel to sit at it. Your inventory will be temporarily replaced with art kit for use on the easel. The art kit contains of several different types of dyes for painting on the easel, and several tools to use. The tools are quite well explained, you can read them if you hover your mouse pointer over them. There are many different colors you can use in your artwork. To see more of them, click on the block with pink arrow texture to get previous/next page of the kit.
You hold any of the items from the art kit in your hand, and paint on the easel with them. Left clicking will create a dot. Holding down right button and moving your mouse will create a line.
At the end of the contest, you will be able to save the artwork you made and remove it from the easel. You save it with /art save (name you want to give the artwork). Then you can keep the art in your home, or create multiple copies of it to sell if you like.
I think that's all I need to say in this post. If I missed anything, please let me know.
Now go find a plot you want and get started! Happy painting!
The contest has ended!

i got off because i had to and then when i get back on it said banded i didn't do anything at all no one told me anything about having to replant the trees i thought there was a person who does that. my name is tinyunicorns666 if you could unbanned me thanks
Why should you be unbanned: I believe I should be unbanned because I realize that Stealing and Griefing a persons house Is not right. Especially lying about afterward is even worst. I want to say sorry to the person I did that too I don't remember who But I am very sorry. And even thought this was like 2 or 3 years ago it still doesnt mean I have it easy. when I played on this server back then I liked it and I felt like I could get away with anything since I never been on a server that really cared if you grief or steal but that is no excuse I know now that you guys take your server very professionally and I respect that. I just really wanna say sorry for what I have done.
Why do you want to come back: I want to come back because even though I do not remember the server so well I remember having a good time just playing the game and just enjoying myself I understand if I can't come back But that will be ok I just really wanna say sorry.

It would be nice to actually see some survival play on this map...all day every day its can i get this can i get that...does anyone actually play the game or just want to play in creative by using everyone else to get materials....its pointless trying to have shops when you can just beg for everything and get it....that'sts why there is no economy on here (or should i say failed economy) just hording and giving for free... Don't get me wrong there are some that play survival and are respected for it ..But not many.
I am constructing a Wall of Warriors arena to display warriors representing my castle. The Wall of Warriors will have a warp, which means you will be able to visit anytime you want. The construction work for the hall has not begun yet but soon will.
If any players wish to be on the warrior wall, you may donate your head at warp cheapshop.
There is a donation chest meant for head donation only, on the right side of the door once you enter Cheapshop.
You are also REQUIRED to come up with a warrior title that represents yourself which will be labeled below your ign on the wall.
Those who are interested, please reply to this thread with your ign and warrior title. Then, do not forget to donate your head.
Example: TheReem93, Emerald Knight
Thats because i love doing raid and collect emeralds. So it represents me at my best...lol
You are not allowed to choose a warrior title that has been taken/chosen by other players. Therefore it's a first come first serve basis. Scroll on the thread to verify if someone has chosen the title you have in your mind. If no, go ahead and post a reply of your ign and title.
So far these titles have been taken, therefore chose something else if you have these in your mind.
1. TheReem93, Emerald Knight
2. Zekrom, Black Knight
3. Jkoke, Duck Noble ( he wanted Duck so badly, idk why..lol)
You have plenty of time to come up with one. I will announce the last date for donation and volunteering when the hall is a week away from completion. Until then, you got time.
Once the deadline for donation and volunteering is due, a list of player's ign with their title will be posted on this forum. This enables the volunteers to check if something is incorrect, misspelled, or left out.
If everything goes well, the list will be finalized. Once everything is completed, the warp will be announced in chat and forum under Off Topic.
If you have further questions, you may reply to this thread or just ask me when I'm online.
Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): hometown smp
Minecraft name: psyduck200
Reason for your ban: testing clay/gravel exploit seeing if other blocks would work with the exploit and not listening to an admin when they told me not to do it.
Who banned you: trekkieendermom
Why should you be unbanned: because I was testing a theory out and the mods said only gravel/clay and I thought to myself would other blocks work so I tried it to see if it would work with sand and I carried on even when the mods told me not to and I'm sorry that I disobeyed the mods and I am truly sorry and I will not do it again. also while doing so I also informed a mod telling them how this glitch/exploit worked on other blocks while even those I disobeyed the mod I still helped in a way by informing them its not only clay and gravel. Also this is my first offence I haven't had any warnings/conflicts with any mod/admin on this server before and I would like to come back to the server I understand what I did was stupid and I take full responsibility for the actions I have made and next time a mod/admin tells me not to do something ill listen to them and not do my own thing. I'm very sorry that I wasted the mods/admins time by doing what I did and I hope you could forgive me for my mistake and allow me to keep playing on the hometown server.
Why do you want to come back: as its a nice and peaceful server that I enjoy to play on also the people on the server are nice. also its a nice place to express myself also i love the events uber dose and the op items he gives out.
Reason for your ban: Grief. I built a house-like structure on top of the server-owned wheat farm. I did it because I was trying to draw more attention to the fact that you could build anywhere on top of most of the farms as I thought that maybe other staff members didn't get the message from one of the guardians because the bug wasn't fixed yet. I should have either asked or waited before making a drastic decision like the one I made.
Who banned you: Nether_Ruler
Why should you be unbanned: I have screwed up once before as I used the clay/gravel deposit exploit (for lack of a better term) because I make poor judgements and decisions sometimes. That's just who I am but I know that it's not an excuse for what I did, it's more of a reason. You can't make excuses for what you did, you just have to own up to it and be open about it. That's what I believe, anyway. So I guess the reason is that I screwed up badly because I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but I never had bad intentions when I was doing what I did. Next time I need to just be more patient, more understanding, and less stupid.
Why do you want to come back: I really enjoy the community and people on this server. I would say that I have made a few friends on this server even though I've only been on the server for a few days. I know that I make poor decisions but I try to do the right thing and I try to be the best I can be, even if I make dumb decisions.
