FTB "Teams Challenge". Are you in?

[Wagon153]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Sempuh]

Im fine with that

 

[jordsta95]

Sounds good to me.

Im fine with that

So, are we looking for mod pack creations? Map creations? What is the goal of the competition?
I may be interested, if anyone wants to tow an anchor behind them.. I mean... Help me not make myself look like a fool...

So do you guys want to start a PM and come up with a team name, and start discussing ideas?

 

[Celestialphoenix]

This looks like fun- I'll give it a go.

Team Phoe... oh wait -how do you guys type so fast??
​

Give me a while to come up with a new name, but count me in all the same.

Edit: I think the Ethereal Engineers sounds pretty neat.

This is an open invite for anyone interested in joining in.​

Team celestial?

Count me in, I'm fairly inexperienced, but I have a good idea for a pack and know of tons of mods, just a question, do all competitors have to be on the forums?

 

[the_j485]

Right, you lot all form a team then.

 

[jordsta95]

Nope, they don't have to be. Just as long as at least 1 team member is on the forums (so they can post any pack updates, etc.) then it's all good

I guess said packs will have to be on the FTB launcher, otherwise it might get complicated.

K I have a friend who is really eager to make a pack with me, but is a total noob, thought it would be a kind thing for me to do.

By the end of the "challenge" it must be on the FTB launcher. But up until that final day, you can use any means of distribution, as FTB isn't as fast as using something like TechnicLauncher or MultiMC, for applying updates.

Hey, noobs are some of the best people to have on a pack team. Think of it this way you have someone who knows the mods inside and out, they will forget that someone new to modded minecraft won't know how to do XYZ and therefore, you may have made it so someone gets confused playing your pack. Whereas the noob would be able to tell you "erm... how does this work" and you will realize these things early on

Fair enough.

 

[LivingAngryCheese]

Just gonna put this out there, if your judging, why are you entering?

I'm not judging
I am in limbo about 2 different vote options.
I will allow everyone involved to decide what they think is the better idea when we are a little closer to the closing date (maybe around Oct. 30th)

 

[LivingAngryCheese]

Oh OK

 

[the_j485]

If there are more than two teams, we'll have a vote between everyone. If there are only two, we'll ask the public.

 

[buggirlexpres]

Also, about the launcher thing: As long as it is submitted by the day of release, it should be good. We all know that the Third Party Pack team have a lot of packs to go through, so as long as it's been submitted, it doesn't have to be on the launcher yet.

Also, I'm assuming 1.7.10?

No... I thought I told the PT yesterday?

The two ways are dependent on how we decide to advertise the packs
If we say each pack has its own thread:
It will be the thread which gets the most likes by the end of the challenge (excluding likes from members of the team)
OR
If we decide to put all the packs in one thread:
We will put a poll on the thread and people will vote there for which they like most.

Also, I'm assuming 1.7.10?

Doesn't have to be. It may be able to get you more "votes" though as people tend to be moving away from 1.6 packs now
Heck if you want to do a 1.2 pack, using EE2, fine, go for it

Well, this is interesting, but I already have half a dozen packs ready to be launched, all I need to do is get the artwork finished for all of them.

I guess I could jump in for helping another team with their pack, I can do mod themes and crappy MS paint for any team that needs it?

Crappy MS paint skills eh? I may require your services for Let it End
