Fellow Shirelings!

Congratulations again to all participants for the January 'mediterranean' BC competition.  Your plots have been saved as schematics and can be moved to the main world when you're ready.  Individuals with a schematic saved should have received an in-game mail from me with the details.

Today we will start the next BUILD COMPETITION!  This months theme:  Brutalist/Expressionist/Totalitarian.  Why?  Because Vetous, that's why.  Don't worry, if you're not feeling this theme, just remember that February is a short month (and it's already the 10th).

It doesn't have to be perfect - this can be YOUR take on those architectural themes.  Here are a few examples below:


Expressionist:  

Totalitarian:  

You'll note that the hallmarks of each of these styles is:  Imposing.  Intimidating.  Designed to portray power and majesty.  This is also true for styles such as Constructivism, Deconstructivism, Communist, Fascist, etc etc.  All are acceptable for this BC.

How you wish to interpret this is up to you.  

Rules are the same as the previous BC.

    *Coughs* Step aside peasants, even I'm building something for this one, and I don't build for BCs, main world, real life, or anywhere else for that matter.

    11 days left!  So far there's only a couple that are complete or near-complete.  We'll need more if we're going to be able to judge!  We can extend the competition if needed.

    Should've done this one a long time ago. My builds are naturally grey and dull.

    Brutalist Competition is now CLOSED.  Judging has commenced.

    I'd be honored to move a few of these builds to the Brutalist-styled university emerging east of Budapest.  If you'd like to add it there, let me know!  If not, I'll move it wherever you want.

    You are more than welcome to claim my build if you want it, Nebbers. :P It wouldn't fit with my cities, and I'd love to see it used xD

    Speaking of Brutalist.  Saw this on Reddit today - pretty awesome!  The plots we had here could easily have been listed among these.  http://imgur.com/a/b2KV7
