“Campfire Madness” Hunger Games Map

Oct 11, 2018 • meowsome • No comments

We have a new Hunger Games map called Campfire Madness, and it’s built by GamingLikeSean! It’s not quite as big as the other tow maps, which would make it perfect for shorter games or games where you don’t have as many people! Check it out today by hopping in the Minigames portal, clicking on Hunger Games, and then selecting the third option.

Autumn Contest Results

Sep 20, 2018 • meowsome • No comments

Good evening!

Although I was hoping for more contest submissions, the ones that were submitted looked amazing, and I’m excited to announce the winners! Here are the winners of the contest:

3rd Place: “Autumn Leaves” by TuckerBoo

I really dig the colors in this map, and I feel like it’ll be really fun to play on! TuckerBoo left it up to me to decide what game this map goes to, and I believe it’ll make a wonderful Paintball map. Be sure to try this one out!

3rd Place Prizes:

• $10,000 in-game cash

 

2nd Place: “Fall” by Mzra

This map has a lot of beautiful intricate detail, and it will make for a perfect “Hard” level parkour course. It has somewhat more of a springtime vibe rather than fall, but it’ll do just fine. Be sure to go challenge yourself sometime and try out this short yet surprisingly difficult course!

2nd Place Prizes:

• $25,000 in-game cash

 

1st Place: “Nature in Autumn” by howlongismyname & PokeyPro

While exploring this map, I found it was very easy to navigate around, but it provided for what will be a really fun experience while playing Paintball! The big tree in the center creates the perfect obstacle to hide from your friends behind, and I can’t wait to play on this map! It’s got a perfect blend of both simplicity and detail.

1st Place Prizes:

• $50,000 in-game cash
• $5 voucher for the Buycraft store
• A special tag on the server and the Discord server

 

Other Minor Updates

• /is level has been fixed

 

Congrats to the winners, and hope to see you on soon!

Updates & Contest Scoring Information

Sep 14, 2018 • meowsome • 2 comments

Here are some quick things that have been changed recently…

• We had to say goodbye to another staff member, WickBubble, who requested to have his staff permissions removed. We loved having you here at Nogard, and we’re gonna miss you!!
• Changed the name of the “Helper” rank to “Moderator” because it looks cooler 😎 and it makes more sense
• Added back the top monthly voter leaderboard to the hub

Also, please note that the Autumn Build Contest is no longer open for submissions! You can view and comment on the submissions here, but you can’t upload any new ones. The submissions will be reviewed and scored throughout the course of this weekend and this upcoming week, and the winners will be announced sometimes soon. Thanks to everyone who participated!
