The first official Shellshock Gaming contest!
Alone in Minecraft All Month, or AMAM, is a competition in which you have one month to complete an amazing structure. You don't have to spend every day of the month playing it, but you only have one month to complete it.

Rules:

• No inventory hacking. You must find and mine all the resources yourself.
  
• No map editors. The map must be generated randomly and can't use any editors.
  
• No previous saves. Your structure must be built in an entirely new world.
  
• You must record yourself working on it. It doesn't have to be every moment of gameplay, but it must be from the start, and any major parts. If you stop recording, and the next clip shows you with a stack of stone and a diamond pickaxe, it will be assumed that you are cheating and you will be disqualified.
  Certain, more-trusted users may be chosen to not follow this rule, and instead take screenshots.
  
• Single-player only. You can't work together with someone else.
  
• No using mods. Any mods that alter gameplay will disqualify you.
  
• The difficulty must be on Easy and up.

Starting:
To start, you must make a new world with the seed tango. Then press F3, and go to these co-ordinated:

Code:

x: 159
y: 72
z: -68

You will end up here:

Prize:
A contest isn't a contest without a prize! When you complete your map you must:

• Upload your footage to a website such as YouTube. The video can't be made Public until the contest is over.
  
• Send a private message to me with a copy of your save file (this can be located at %appdata%\Roaming\.minecraft\saves for PC, Mac I am uncertain of).

When you've done that the judges will review your level, and when the contest is over we will announce the winner. The winner gets:

• A custom title and name glow on the forums. This is what the staff and donators have.
  
• "Winner" rank
  
• An in-game hat for when Carriers is complete
  
• A copy of the Steam game Dark Messiah Might and Magic Multiplayer

The competition ends at the end of May (31/5/11).

Put "AMAM" in %appdata%\.minecraft\saves

Dude i would do this but i have no way of recording it and i still suck at building in minecraft

What difficulty?

Added that to the list.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Easy and up shouldn't be too hard and should be considered in the judging.

I will enter

i suck at making and i have no way what so ever of filming so can i judge

I want to enter.

Judging is Moderator/Respected only unfortunately. Certain programs like Fraps or Camtasia can be used to record. Fraps only lets you record 30 seconds, free, but Camtasia gives you a trial.

Added you to the list, Carlos.

count me in

Judge, HHHHYUHHHHH

Hows bout they can show us a few looks at their inventory to make sure they aren't using in game inventory mods. I'm not saying they would but those things are so easy to install(personal experience) that anyone could do it at anytime. I was also thinking I should try and replicate that screen shot. So if you could tell me the cords it was taken from I could do it easier. lii|: D

Just look for the large tree, and climb up a few blocks.

Why do you want to replicate it?

IDK im a judge so that's all i can do right now.

Well, AMAM is over. Unfortunately, only one person finished their entry. That person is astroassissin8991! He will be winning the prizes.
For those of you who said you'd enter but didn't actually build anything, please don't enter future contests unless you're willing to work on it.

The winner has been announced!

Well that was great i guess.

I'm slightly disappointed that people entered but didn't bother to do anything.
If you're wondering why you didn't judge, there was just one entry so there was no need, sorry.
