I soon as a place can be set I would be willing to help build it. I don’t think James wanted something that would take a whole month so solve. Just nice frames decorate the portals to create the Scooby Doo effect for a cool video maybe.
I’ve found a good spot and am just preparing a few groundworks. (Need to squeeze stuff in between family commitments.)
And thanks for the offers of help. I’ll be online in 6 hours from now to get everything setup. If any of the volunteers are around i’d be happy to friend up and give you permissions, etc.
We’ll run the competition from Christmas to mid January to give everyone a chance to get involved.

We’ll have a soft launch of the competition today, and assuming it’s working ok announce it more fully tomorrow.
Please let me know if any of the following doesn’t make sense, as it’s maybe a little complicated.
How to get there:
Via portal at [-1927N, 1390E] in “The Moebius Plaza, Therka”. (Thanks @the-moebius.)
Via portal at [-1667N, -277E] in “Pixel Gate, Solum”. (Thanks @Stretchious.)
… to …
Competition walkway [-572N, 2284E], Solum.
How it works:
There are currently 6 small plots and 6 large plots to claim. I can add more plots if there is interest. Please let me know.
Small plots are 8m x 8m (any height).
Large plots are 16m x 16m (any height).
YOU NEED TO PLACE A BEACON AND CLAIM A PLOT
You can build whatever you want in the plot, but there must be a straight walking path from your portal to the 2 compact copper blocks on the Walk Way. There can be steps or slopes between your portal and the connecting points.
We want players to be able to walk directly out of your portal into the next portal opposite. So there is a single direct path through all the portals.
For entering the competition you get the following gear:
By default all the portals must be 2m wide x 4m tall. The plots and portals are in pairs, and this is noted in your plot’s info sign. For example: PLOT-2-SOUTH is linked with PLOT-3-NORTH. If you agree with the player entering in your plot/portal link to build a different shaped portal then you can do so. Maybe enter in pairs and agree up front?
The competition will run from today, 2017-12-25 on Sir Isaac Newton’s birthday, to mid January (exact time TBD).
@Stretchious and @AmandaPan are assisting running the competition. If anyone else (@willcrutchley?) wants to help organise please PM me and we can meet + friend-up + get permissions on the beacon.
Edit 2: @james Thank you kindly for the tools and supplies for this awesome community project. Also, thank you to everyone that helped get this set up and underway. If either of the portals leading to the building area need Oortshards, I’d be happy to donate to them for the duration of the event. Feel free to leave a donation basket and I’ll drop some in.
If the entrants want access to the chisel and portal blocks at the front of their plot, if you tag me on discord I’ll get a notification and can jump back on.
@willcrutchley what size portal are you building for your plot? i was planning on taking either 2 south or 6 south. I have an idea, but it requires a portal at least 4x4, maybe 3x3.
If I’m remembering right from what James said, the portals will be connected in a zig-zag pattern, so that a player can run through them all from left to right. So for example in this image, if the owners of the green portals coordinate, their portals could be any size and not break the portal chain.
