Xsyon - This took insane amounts of time.

If you're a member of a tribe in Xsyon, you might want to check out Notorious Games' latest architecture contest. The event runs from February 1st to March 1st, and it's open to both small tribes (between one and five members) and larger groups (six or more members).

Since it's an architecture contest, you'll obviously need to construct (or re-construct) your tribe settlement. Notorious will be judging your creations for originality, uniqueness, design, layout, and beautification.

The dev team is remaining coy when it comes to contest incentives, but the latest Xsyon press release does say that "there will be a large prize for the winning tribe in each group."

Great to see all the news coming from xsyon. Looking forward to seeing all the winners.

Heard an interview with Xsyon on the Sandbox podcast and it sounds like some things are really starting to come along in game. Between that podcast and SaintBob's youtube videos it's kind of making me want to hop back into game.

Thats funny, Saintbob was one of the main reasons I got in on the prelude. I enjoyed his 'it is not good, it is not bad, this is just how it is' approach to showing of the game.

If he has new videos out I need to check them out.
