My best time yet, just under 60 seconds :

If you can beat that (by yourself, not as a team, obviously), well I won't give you jack squat, but I will kneel before you in game 

Maybe give you a ceremonial sword or something as a symbol of your greatness 

Tonight at some point around 7PM EST - US Pure - J20

At night : Fireworks (200+)
At sunrise : Demolition of Nakatomi Plaza

You can watch from the stands:

Or from the Q-Bert installation:

Or play "Last Man Standing" from the top of the tower:

• Bring your own **BAG** if you can.
• If you have a so-so PC, don't watch the fireworks from inside or on top of the tower!  I'm not responsible for any game crashes!
• Also not responsible for any loss of vehicle/horse/heli/gear/etc. But who cares at this point anyway

After all that we can launch incendiaries at all my leftover installations for all I care! 

P.S.: If anyone can easily record the demo, that'd be great, since I'll be hammering away from the inside I won't be able to see much!

Might be a good idea to make the vote for contests 50/50, as in the community vote counts for 50% and the staff vote counts for 50%.

You guys (the staff) vote with the criteria for the contest in mind (well, I sure hope so ). Whereas many in the community just vote for what they like, regardless of the guidelines set in place for the contest. Plus you've seen quite a few builds in your time and you can easily visit all the entries and take some time to "evaluate" them.

Plus with a 50/50 or point system (ie.: staff vote worth 5pts, community vote 1pt), if a player, let's call him "=ButtMun¢h69=", didn't exactly abide by the rules but got all his mates to vote for him, then at least the staff vote has the potential to correct the situation.

I personally voted for the "staff-only" option, but assigning a higher value to staff votes would be a good compromise imo.

We ended up having an improvised last minute ceremony because @a 3/0 sc lauan was going to be away for the week-end. Luckily @BesprenMavs was also available and a few other players came. The guys claimed their loot, we had some fireworks and then we all killed each other jumping off my 15 floor tower... So basic RUST party.

@Cheese You're loot is still there for you whenever we can meet.

AND the mystery chest is still available if anyone else finds those monoliths!

@a 3/0 sc lauan, @Cheese, @BesprenMavs Would be nice If we could get all 3 of you together to claim your prizes and throw a little ceremony 

Do you think you'll be on tomorrow night (Friday)?

Feels like the lights should be part of the game... very disappointing.

Nicely done @BesprenMavs!

You got 3rd place so you get the "Surge" kit!

Dam @Cheese!  Well done!

You will be getting the "No Mercy" kit

Some have told me they found 2 or 3. Still, only one player has discovered all 5!

Here is the the 2nd hint, as promised. All of the places you will NOT find a monolith :

Should be much easier now!

Dammit @a 3/0 sc lauan! Not only did you get my contest way too early but now you're stealing my thunder!!! 

OMG I hate you @a 3/0 sc lauan 

I can't believe how quick that was....

Well folks, still 2ND and 3RD place to go for!!!

UPDATE : Well, since someone (who shall remain nameless) got it before most could even start.... 

I've decided to add another prize, so the "mystery box" is now for 4th place, new kit and goodies added as new 3rd place prize.

Fun stuff!

Thx guys!

I load my photos onto https://imgur.com

Then you copy the DIRECT LINK (there are a few options)   Then in game with your frame mounted where you want it, you look at it closely ,  hit the T key,  then type /sil paste photo link.

You do not need a special program to post in EZ servers.

Hey Bear, actually I got my answer already : /sil is not enabled for players on US Pure. I'm guessing you're playing on one of the other servers.

Hey @Aurora, I just noticed this, lol. How does it work? Did I get those supply signals already?

Thx!

The modded servers have /sil to load images on to signs and frames. So I've been drawing stuff on a notepad and then using /sil to put them up in game. 

I was told /sil didn't work on this server (US Pure), back in like July or something.

How do you guys get your signs/picture frames to look so good? I bought Rustangelo Pro and yet it seems to me that if I want that kind of quality it can take hours. 

Is that it, is that the trick? Just zoom in as much as possible and let it do it's thing for an hour or so?

So.... what's happening?

• US Pure
• S8
• "Oldin' Days Town"  (An old West town converted for tourism)

I had more I wanted to do, but the last few days just flew by 

(Video might be a little choppy, I sped it up 150% - 250% in most places so it wouldn't be too long)

It's not an old screenshot, in fact it's a brand new one, but it's a masterpiece.

This "oeuvre" is titled :

@Cayiatells a guy "I ain't launching my car down that thing!"

I'll start the bidding at 6,000$.

I know this is a place to have fun and all, but this being Climate Week, I wanted to share this video from Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell. 

If you're not familiar with Kurzgesagt, they make these incredibly informative, beautifully animated videos about space, our world, biology, etc. I highly recommend their latest video about black holes "The Largest Black Hole in the Universe - Size Comparison".

They tell it like it is, so it can be a bit of a downer sometimes. But like I often say (to my doctor among others): "I'd rather be informed and depressed, than ignorant and happy".

Sorry I couldn't help with the prison photo op @MorganaRaven, I was too busy promoting my own town...

Watcha gonna do.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I tease, I kid. Your build is amazing, I've been there it's great!

Howdy, so with a little help from my friends, I offer up a Wild West axe-travaganza in the form of an axe throwing club.

Here you can test your skill on the throwing range in the hopes of setting a top score or sit down with some food and drink and watch the action from your table. 

Hope to see ya drop by

 

A throwing range, what a good idea! Nice one!

BTW @Aurora, I was only kidding / teasing the competition
