**MONTHLY BUILD COMPETITION**

OCTOBER THEME - HALLOWEEN

Monthly Build Competitions are hosted on the VANILLA TYME PLOTS SERVER.  To participate in this month's build, you will need to claim an area on the plots server.  If you haven't already done so, details on claiming a plot can be found HERE.

BUILD RULES

1.  Your build MUST be within a 30x30 grid on YOUR plot.  DO NOT build anywhere but your own plot!  If your build exceeds the 30x30 limit, you will be disqualified from the competition.

2.  The height limit for ALL builds is 100 blocks.  If you exceed this limit, you will be disqualified.

3.  DO NOT build underground!  Your entire build must be visible from the outside.  Nothing buried below the plot surface.

You can build anything related to Halloween. Keep things spooky!  

When your build is complete, please submit a screen shot as a reply to this post.  The community will vote for the winner!

Build comp winners will receive a shulker full of goodies, an event collectible and have their build displayed permanently (location TBD later).

Your screen shots must be submitted no later than 9pm Eastern on Saturday, October 23nd.

Voting will take place from Sunday, October 24th to Sunday, October 31st.  The winner will be announced on Discord after votes have been tallied.

Let's see what you can create, Vanilla Tyme Servers!

We usually let the staff member who banned you handle the appeal, but I'm stepping in because this is a second offense and you claim you were falsely banned. We do not review files when considering appeals because of how easy they are to edit and do not want to set a precedent. 

You are well aware of the rules, given your longevity as a member to the server. We have also previously discussed your use of xray on the server and you were let off with a warning.

The following screenshots do not give a good view into what we look for when reviewing mines, but thankfully we have a video of you mining all of the ore that would lead to this ban. 

Due to the undeniable evidence against you and your refusal to acknowledge your wrongdoing, your appeal has been denied. We wish you the best of luck finding a new server to play on!
