18.5.6 Ice Sculpting
The Ice Sculpting Competition is a spin-off of the Iron Epicurean. Instead of cooking a dish, you'll sculpt something from a block of ice and design it around specific motifs you will be assigned. Anybody can participate in the sculpting contest - no tradeskill needed! All you need is confidence in your sculpting skills. How it Works ------------ As with the Epicurean, the Ice Sculpting contest will be centered around a mystery theme motif, which will only be revealed to the competing sculptors when the contest begins. After the theme motif is revealed, contestants will roll for their individual motifs. Everybody will be assigned one motif initially, which they will have 60 seconds to SCULPTCONTEST REROLL and get another random motif if they don't like it. Then everybody will be assigned their second motif, which you can again choose to reroll. However, be warned, you only get one reroll total! Use it on your first motif, and it won't be available for your second motif. Then, the sculpting contest will begin! You must craft your sculpture in real-time using the commands provided, and submit it for judging before the time limit is up. Once the time limit is up, you won't be able to edit your sculpture any further. Judges will then deliberate and decide on who wins! Judging ------- The winning sculpture will successfully combine the theme motif and the individual motifs they rolled into a sculpture that'll blow everybody else away. You will be judged on quality of writing, effective use of your motifs, and appropriateness of the entry. Commands -------- SCULPTCONTEST JOIN Join the sculpting competition when it opens.
