    Goal
    Last year, we celebrated the awards by the experimental 'domino' approach to multiplayer. This year, we're doing it again! The concept is simple. We will finish a complete park in just a week. We will start out a completely blacktiled map, bar for a 20x20 spot where the park entrance will be. Players can expand that tiny map by adding a small bit (a flat ride, a building, a fountain) to the side, as if it were a game of dominoes. There can be no gaps! The size of this extension is up to the player, but shouldn't be larger than he is willing to finish in that session. The map should only be expanded if everything is (virtually) completed. If someone abandons their unfinished work, it may be deleted in favour of something that gets finished in one session by someone else. Revising areas that are finished is discouraged.

    This way, there will be no unfinished abandoned content at all. Bar from the sides where the map is being expanded, the park could be considered completely finished at any random moment.

    General Rules
    To achieve the park goals described above, we believe some practical rules are necessary.

    It is important that the landscape and scale is consistent. If one guy builds his area with lots of pine trees, single wide paths and buildings that make the peeps look like midgets, and another guy builds his area with tropical foliage, wide paths and buildings on a miniature scale, the park will look weirdly distorted as a whole. Therefore it is very important to be aware of what other people, especially those close to you on the map, have been doing. You are advised to build considerately.
    Try to not reserve space on the map if you're not going to build on it on a short term. If you do, just place a sign with 'reserved' and your name on it. Similarly, you can use signs to invite other people over to continue your work.
    Do not remove or modify other people's work without their permission.
    If you sabotage the park or harass other players, you may be stripped of your permissions. Don't be a dick.
    If you have access to the cheat menu, announce it in the chat whenever you are about to switch on/off zero clearances
    Only enable sandbox mode for whenever it is aboslutely necessary
    Duplicate rides and themes are discouraged.
