# Events and Competitions # Big City Big Build A series of server build contests held in order to showcase the building ability of the community, as well as expanding [Big City](https://portal.projectcitybuild.com/books/history/page/big-city-monarch "Big City (Monarch)") (now known as [Monarch](https://portal.projectcitybuild.com/books/official-projects/page/monarch "Monarch")), the server's main city project. The winners received prizes such as in-game money, items, and codes for Steam games. ## History The first contests were held by *\_specialk*, and took place over a period of 2 or 3 days, generally on weekends. Specific plots were laid out in the then Big City map for contestants to create their entries, leading to large areas of the city being constructed over a short space of time. During 2013, *Ouhai\_Ruby* took over running the contests, and several were held between 2013 and 2015. These contests were a longer format, with no set area for builds to be completed in. Instead, contestants were instructed to build their entry in the server's Creative map, and include the co-ordinates of their build within their entry post. ## Previous Winners

The exact dates and winners for the 1st 2 contests are not known due to forum data loss.

# Jump Quests Jump quests were puzzles created by staff that could be played at any time by warping to the location. The goal was to get from the start location to the end location by traversing across complex obstacles. These obstacles required the player to move and jump from platform to platform, and failure to successfully land on the subsequent platform would result in falling out of the arena (thus failing the puzzle). Successful completion of a jump quest rewarded the player with currency/diamonds. ### Locations #### Jump Quest 1 Jump quest 1 was located under [Sandy Point](https://portal.projectcitybuild.com/books/player-builds/page/sandy-point "Sandy Point") in the Minecraft Survival Beta 1.2\_02 map. Completion would reward the player with 30 coins. #### Jump Quest 2 Jump quest 2 was only accessible by warp, in the same map as Jump Quest 1. ### Anti-Cheating The first two maps did not have any mechanics to prevent cheating. As some players had access to the /fly command, the system was based around trust and any player spotted cheating would be banned from the server. # The Purge The Purge was an event that took place prior to the change to the Survival 1.8 map. As part of this event, griefing rules for Survival were suspended, allowing for the complete destruction of the map. ### Conception The Purge was decided upon by a community vote, in which players had the choice between a standard reset and The Purge. The latter option was chosen by a 32-9 vote. Several people objected to The Purge, on the grounds that they did not want to see their hard work destroyed. ### Aftermath The Purge was originally intended to last for 1-3 days, but it only lasted several hours due to the wide-scale destruction. After this, the Survival 1.8 map was introduced. ### References - [https://forums.projectcitybuild.com/t/the-purge/21144](https://forums.projectcitybuild.com/t/the-purge/21144) - [https://forums.projectcitybuild.com/t/the-purge/20498](https://forums.projectcitybuild.com/t/the-purge/20498) # Wiki Contest The PCB Wiki Contest ran from June 15th to July 15th, 2018, and asked players to create a standout Wiki Page for their city or town for fame, glory, and everlasting bragging rights. ### Previous Winners The winner of this contest, *FurtenFur*, created a page on her city Reverly, and created not only a fantastically detailed page with images, captions, headings, and tables galore, but an amazing [YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiJHiRhQh7c) as well. Out of 18 points available in the rubric, *FurtenFur* scored an amazing 25, with extra points from cited sources, and, of course, going above and beyond in several categories. When put to a staff vote, it was agreed for all posterity, FurtenFur is the illustriously-titled Best Wiki Writer on PCB. # World Expo ## World Expo 2015 The **PCB World Expo 2015** was the first Creative 1.7 event of its kind. In the event, players formed a team with fellow members and created a set of landmarks and notable moments that has greatly influenced their countries. The event took place in a dedicated area of the creative map. On the forums, [a topic was posted](https://forums.projectcitybuild.com/t/pcb-world-expo-winners/21582) on 1 March 2015 by the host of the event, Ducky, to introduce the winners of the World Expo. ### Entries #### **1st Place**: United Kingdom The United Kingdom build a large [red telephone box](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_telephone_box "wikipedia:Red telephone box"), filled with British objects. ##### Builders - Sir Ouhai\_Ruby - Sir TheOctopus - Dame Penguina - Sir thejoshua79 - Sir Petroliam - Hon.
