Ok, another question. If we use some of the allotted extra foundation and walls to extend the building (the tiny bit it allows, lol), are we allowed to remove the original wall that has now become an interior wall? I hope that makes sense...And is stage ok? Like not counting towards the extra foundation?

Oh I'm *so* in. Thank you jones for letting me know about this! It's just what I need to kickstart my uni-hood!

Is there a special application round, or just get your dorm in before 20 other people do?

I would like to be an emergency judge so I can still enjoy the contest and help out when necessary. Pic is under the spoiler.

Time to play around with this shell - and stay away from homecrafter and SimPe... :D

(Off-topic) Phae - I just had a look at your uni-hood project. It's inspiring! And I have all sorts of other thoughts about some of the other things you've been posting up as well. How do you feel about comments on older posts?

No Colin, they can be one big room if you want it to be.

Sorry it's taken so long to answer these questions, will try harder next time.

A couple of questions...
1. Could I just play along for fun, without being judged or having deadlines? We're in the busiest part of the year at work, and I don't want to feel pressured with my relaxing fun in the evenings.
2. To clarify, what do you mean by "what subjects your university specializes in"? Do you mean general flavor, like "this is a party school," "this is an Ivy League," or "this is a community college"? Or do you mean hard-core focus like "this is MIT" or "this is the Academie des Beaux-Arte"?
Yes, Esme, you can play along if you would like to. Can you post your playalong after the deadline and make it clear that it is a playalong in your text please, especially for this round Uni specialisms are: Arts, Science and Sport, so gear your uni up to those main subjects. The uni major subjects are in brackets below the specialisms. So, for example, if you were building an Arts uni, you might ensure there was an easel or a pottery wheel or dance barre on site.

Hello trambling, welcome, it would be good to have you on board. Choose a theme eg Arts, Science or Sport, and gear your uni up to one of those main subjects.

yes you can remove the external wall because it then becomes an internal wall when you use your extra bit of wall. Yes stage is ok to use.

No application round, so get your Round 1 Dorm in before everyone else does, Phae

Thank you, Klaartje I will add you in as an emergency judge, let's hope we don't have to use you.

Well, I think I answered all the questions, phew!

Does dormers count as using walls?
And do the outside walls include building an extra level (not intending on using the extra part mind you)

Yah, I'm a judge! *Hopes she knows what she got herself into*

Can someone help me understand how 12mn GMT works? I tend to be a bit hopeless with time zones.

Dormers do not count as walls. You can use the ingame dormers but no to making your own

Jo if you go click on the timer it should show you what time you have left wherever you are in the world. I know that when I was in Jones' contests I had until 5am my time to complete my round.

What time is it now where you are in Aus? Right this minute it is 9.35pm in the UK.

Just to confirm that the timer you are using does automatically take into account you current time zone It gives me an hour 'extra' and shows the date in Dutch.

It's 8.34 am Friday over here. I thought the clock said when everyone had their entry in, we get a few days past that to judge don't we?

Quick question - is there limitations on CC? I'm assuming no pay content? But is there any other limitations I should be aware of?

Oh and by the way Jones: Congratulations!

Also by the way MTS folk, you can call me Kiri. I've been lurking here many years, so I don't expect you to know that.

Kiri, there are no limitations on the amount of CC that you can use in this round. CC should always be from free sites and not pay as per MTS guidelines.
