June & Emerald Points Season 1 2023 Results

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

It’s July and that means three things – school holidays, time to announce the winners for June’s Sport competition, and the results of the Season 1 competition for 2023!

On to the results for June first!

1st Place: RatherQuenched

Getting his second win, RQ has gone with something I reckon really appealed to a lot of us as gamers – a big Wii Sport TV and very nice cabinet! I especially liked the LC and LibraryCraft logos in the cabinets. Congratulations RQ!

2nd Place: sirRubyBird12

Ruby went with a combination of pixel art and building, with her birds playing soccer! I love it!

3rd Place: Meowlicky

Lastly, while it’s unfinished, Meow went with a racetrack, complete with the lights to start and the checkered flag.

Well done to our three winners! We also had one honourable mention this round too – MegRose.

Final Leaderboard

Here’s what the final leaderboard looks like!

  • sirRubyBird12 – 45 pts
  • RatherQuenched – 35 pts
  • strxww – 25 pts
  • toothless_spy – 25 pts
  • Noodles257 – 15 pts
  • ItsLittle_ – 10 pts
  • LordSquid_ – 5 pts
  • GalaxyOcean – 5 pts
  • TheGOATED – 5 pts
  • Meowlicky – 5 pts

A huge congratulations to Ruby, RQ and Straw for getting the top three spots! Ruby will get the $350 worth of LEGO (in the form of a voucher), RQ gets a $100 JB HiFi gift voucher and Straw gets a $50 JB HiFi Voucher. They’ve also got a custom trophy waiting for them in the prize collection area. I’ll reach out to the three winners in Discord or email to sort out their prizes.

In Game Prize Collection

A Competition Prize Collection Point has been set up in 119Survival! Instead of prizes being deposited at bases, they’ll all be left at a central prize collection point at my 119Survival Base. There’s a public pwarp – JohnsanGeezo.CompCollectionPoint – that will have protected chests for each player that won a prize – podium OR honourable mention.

I’ve tweaked it a little again, with redstone lamps and a lever at each spot. Once you have collected your prize, please turn the light off. The redstone torches indicate that you have a previous prize to collect.

Please make sure you collect your items quickly, or you will risk losing them!

July Creative Competition – Monsters

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

Its time for a new season of Creative competition, with Monsters! This is a really exciting new competition as we’re changing the points system slightly. Now we’re giving honourable mentions (those builds that get at least one vote) a single point in the competition! This will be huge, as it’ll have a pretty big impact on the season standings. That one point could be the difference!

The July Comp world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the June gate which will close to building at 9pm on Friday June 30th.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of July 1st, so get thinking about that monster! A huge thanks to Kisney for the gate build this month!

Season 2 Prizes

As you know, each month we give away the following prizes, now with the new inclusion:

  • 1st Prize: 4x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 15 Emerald Points
  • 2nd Prize: 3x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 10 Emerald Points
  • 3rd Prize: 2x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 5 Emerald Points
  • Honourable mention (1 vote): 1 Emerald Point

Each month the Emerald Points are tallied up and can be seen in the Emerald Hall on the Survival Lobby world. At the halfway point of the season (March for Season 1 and September for Season 2) we give away prizes to the current top three Emerald Points winners:

  • 1st Place: 1x $25 JB HiFi Voucher
  • 2nd Place: 1x $10 JB HiFi Voucher
  • 3rd Place: 1x $10 JB HiFi Voucher

At the end of the season (June and December), the grand prizes are awarded to the final top three Emerald Points winners from across the 6 months of competition. These are the big ones! This season we’re giving away:

  • 1st Prize: $250 worth of LEGO! It’ll be in the form of a LEGO store voucher, sent online. Nice and easy!
  • 2nd Prize: $100 JB HiFi Voucher
  • 3rd Prize: $50 JB HiFi Voucher

Exciting times! Bring on Season 2!

1st Place: RubyBird12

Notching up a second win, Ruby has created some very cute kittens! I really liked these – so adorable! Well done Ruby!

Little did a bit of a combination of things – a tiny settlement with a tree farm, and some pixel art! Well done Little!

3rd Place: TheGOATED

Lastly, TheGOATED went super minimalistic with a tiny house containing a bed and enderchest! A clever interpretation of the theme!

Well done to our three winners!

April Food Build Competition Results

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

2023 is going so fast! Time to announce the winners for April’s Food competition. We also forgot something last month! March marks the mid-season point for the competition, so some prizes are up for grabs for the top three after the March competition.

Like I said last month, we’ve had a lot of fun with the competitions this year, and they’re all competitions that were suggested by our players. This one was suggested by cramski!

On to the results!

1st Place: RatherQuenched

Coming in with his first win is RQ with these whoppers! It also comes in a simple but eye-focusing viewing box. Congrats RQ!

2nd Place: Strawfolk

Notching up a second place two months in a row, Straw has chosen to create a floating smorgasbord of options. I particularly like the chips in the very stylish wire basket.

3rd Place: RubyBird12

Ruby opted for a great looking lunch box! I’d be pretty happy if this was my lunch!

Honourable Mentions

We have two honourable mention this round, with players scoring some votes, but not enough to make the podium finish. They each get a diamond block! Remember, there’s a new way to collect your winnings!
