Lilarna · September 8

Rules and information regarding the theme : "Other Worlds"

• Theme is a very important criteria for this contest.
• The build must be set in an identifiable universe that has already been created in a work of fiction (novel, movie, series, comic book, manga, role-playing game, video game).
• The build can NOT be set in Tamriel or in our world.
• Because the fairy tale theme and the mythological theme have been very present in recent large scale contests, these builds will be excluded.
• In doubt, come over to the "contest-chat" channel, to check if your idea or house fits the contest theme.

Conditions

• PC/NA and PC/EU are both invited to enter this contest.
• Set visitor permissions to open access (limited visitor or visitor) by the deadline.
• No editing of the house whatsoever after the deadline. If an issue blocks visits (such as a door or item collision issue) contact @Lilarna.
• Any house size is accepted, apart from inn rooms (15/30).
• Each player can only enter 1 house.
• EHT FX are not judged.
• Houses can have won or placed in other contests.
• House can be participating in other contests.
• House does NOT need to be set as primary.
• "Beginner" entries can only be submitted by players who have never won or placed in a housing contest yet.
• "Beginner" entries can only be submitted by players who have not participated in more than 2 housing contests ever. (screenshot contests do not count)

Judging Criteria

There are 5 different criteria:
• TECHNIQUE (0 to 10) : seamless placement of items (no clipping), cobbles, structural complexity
• SPACE DESIGN (0 to 10) : overall layout of the build, path created for the visitor, creative use or transformation of the original house
• ATMOSPHERE (0 to 10) : ambient feel, lighting, story-telling, immersion, sound effects & music
• THEME (0 to 10) : how much the entry speaks to the theme "Other Worlds"

Oupsie, I corrected a typo in the previous messages!

There will be FIVE winners for each of the Beginners categories!

And here's a little reminder on the conditions to enter in that category =
• "Beginner" entries can only be submitted by players who have never won or placed in a housing contest yet.
• "Beginner" entries can only be submitted by players who have not participated in more than 2 housing contests ever. (screenshot contests do not count)

Wishing you all a lovely time!
And if you have any questions, I'm around!

Shara_Wynn · September 27

Wow these are fantastic prizes but why isn't this getting more publicity? There is nothing about it on the Official Game Site and not many folk who play ESO use these forums never mind read the housing forum?

karthrag_inak · September 27

Khajiit participated in one of the competitions that this guild sponsored a while back, and had a good time. He will offer what he hopes is a minimally biased review of the experience.

This one met some very nice folks in the process, and got some great ideas for future housing efforts - all of these folks are very serious and talented in the housing game in ESO. One of the folks involved with the event even made a delightful video of the entrance way and immediate surrounds of Karth's Glitterbox, which was very nicely done. A lot of effort was put into it, which is greatly appreciated, it is known - khajiit still uses it on occasion to share a small bit of his home with folks. Khajiit had great fun watching the judging streams, visiting other folks' homes, and just in general participating.

If khajiit were to offer anything in the way of constructive criticism for the honored event organizers (for whatever one humble khajiit's opinion might be worth - undoubtedly not very much

) it would be to perhaps work to minimize any appearance of bias in the judging. As is known, housing folks put a great deal of effort into their home decorations and often consider them very personally relevant. Karth had the distinct feeling as he participated that there was some bias toward folks that were already known, or otherwise part of the existing community.

Now, this is just khajiit's feelings, and try as one might, feelings themselves carry bias, yes? Still, there were motivations for these feelings (and not just because Karth lost

). One incident stands out in Karth's mind that was very disappointing. Khajiit watched all the streams where his home was visited (which in itself was quite fun - this one's home isn't that complicated but it was nice to hear reactions to khajiit's efforts). In general this was delightful - khajiit loved hearing comments and criticisms from folks who focus on housing in ESO, and even got a some great ideas for modifications and future builds. One of the judges even found a spot where a placement was off a bit (floating a few cm above the ground), so khajiit was able to fix it.

Unfortunately, one of the judges (a french-speaking judge - khajiit can speak a bit of french and so thought he would watch his stream as well) entered this one's house and promptly just stood there, saying a few things to their viewers that were beyond khajiit's ability to decipher, and then left (i.e. not moving from the entrance). Khajiit's home is a Pariah's Pinnacle with multiple substantially built-out areas to the left of the entrance, as well as a nightclub, 2-lane bowling alley, and fairly detailed maze, all not visible from the entrance. So that was kind of a crimp in the tail, especially since, from what khajiit could tell, this was the only home that this judge skipped. Perhaps he does not like cats?

Other than this, khajiit had great fun. He would participate again in this event but the only other world his homebuilds occupy is the strange one between his ears.

Hey there Shara_Wynn and thank you so much for your message!

In the world of ESO Discord servers, I have been posting some announcements about the contest since July and I am just about to post some more announcements this weekend!

There is about three weeks to go still, so don't hesitate to keep sharing the info.

I'm so sorry to hear that you had this experience, with a judge/streamer skipping your house entirely during their stream.

From being an occasional streamer myself, I know that is is sometimes complicated, when the streaming audience chat is busy, to keep focus 100% on our whereabouts.

It has happened to me for example, that I visited a house, got caught up with the stream chat, and moved over to the next house and forgot to enter my scores on the spot. In such a case, I return to the house to revisit and write the scores down again.

I agree that it's really not nice to have this experience. However, I am absolutely sure that the judge returned back to the house, maybe offline, and wrote their scores down after, since I check every single entry's score and, for example, zeros all around would have struck me immediately and I would have investigated the matter. So you can be assured that there was no bias, just that the judging happened offline.

Sorry to hear you have no house at all that might fit the theme for the contest !

The categories depend on the capacity of the house, not the number of furnishings that have been used!
