I try to repair this and did some costumization even hoping they are gone now. A message that this design is saved and updated appeared so I hope that this is Ok now and without mistakes. Would be kind if someone with EC would control if there are tiles or not - Thx :)

So, as a shameless plug, my design is number 93, "look ma, no rails", and i desinged it for people to add on with custom peices, expanding it as much as possible, while also trying not to get ousted by the devs

Edit... now 143

Kudos to all the builders this go round. Honestly, if it were up to me I would add them all (except 106).

The top 4 that I could see myself using are:
41. Town Square
63. Shadows of Myth
113. Herot
154. Rural Downtown

A few that I think deserve extra mention for their out of the box creativity are:
65. Necrovania
78. Remote Island Observatory
129. Necromansion

I would beg and plead people vote for #134 but now I just want to give up the dream of ever getting my castle converted.

Honestly in my whole life I have already experienced a lot of ****... but this cuts the buttom of the barrel of ; )


It has been completely reorganized - there are now 20 pages - and the numbers have been reassigned:

And what I find worst: that Cindy, who has made so much effort to shoot pictures here now udn that completely alone that has not made in vain - but the numbers now no longer fit the screenshotted images.

My new Numers are now
# 105 Knight's Manorhouse (old 114)
#171 H e o r o t (not Herot ;) ) (old 113)

Thanks for voting and for voting again!

so honestly ... how many contests have we already had where everything ran cleanly? Something like this should not normally happen - I'm already really pissed off.... but something like this happens when you want to satisfy the whole globe here with 6 people ;)

is it possible to up date the # numbers in each post ?
That would be difficult... she'd probably have to start all over... ugh

Mine changed from #135 to #125...

I noticed that, its on my list I have whittled down from 199 to 20, but its not listed, you need to contact them.
I’ve messaged bleak and requested a fix, but hasn’t been done yet. I’m pretty frustrated and disappointed.

He had 2 Castles on his account so they only let one go onto the stone. Not the Devs fault.

Players were complaining about multiple Castles per player so the Devs stopped it. Posters wanted the devs to intervene in the contest, they did.

Yes, I designed multiple castles, but only 1 was entered in the contest. It was correct the first round, Town Square was included, House of Worship was not. That can be confirmed. I have no idea why after what they did today it switched them… certainly wasn’t intended that way and I certainly wasn’t trying to “game the system” by having multiple designs. In this case it IS the devs fault for not using the castle that was entered correctly.

I agree. There was no 1 per account rule. Also I think few knew you could place more than one on an account. Most are too scared to try. But, these contests bring out the :tinhat: and cheat callers.

Town Square was very popular on the first days. Good Luck to you!
