I agree with Adarias, and would also like to point out that this specific system is in place to ensure that no one ends up pixeling a masterpiece only to find out 5 minutes later that someone else too the section they wanted, and now their tile won't connect with the other tiles where it should have. If someone had already reserved 7 and 18 and he'd posted those tiles there, they probably wouldn't match up anywhere else because of the lava.

dreamisle: Why must tiles be reserved before being posted?  Nobody had the tiles yet, so what's the difference between posting some done tiles and reserving the tiles then posting them an hour or two later?  As far as I was concerned in the last collab, the main purpose of reserving tiles was to hold your place while you spent time making tiles.  If nothing was in a place, I had no problem with people posting tiles to fill it.  I'm not saying you have to run your collab just like I ran mine, but I'm trying to clarify the rules before this picks up too much momentum.
That's true. I'd just hate for someone to come along and reserve those tiles and be working on them and then we find out that someone else just finished making those tiles but never reserved them first. You know what I mean? If it was an isolated tile or two it would be no problem, but since it's connected to another tile that was already made it's not as simple as just moving them to a different place and letting both pairs in.

Thank you for your contribution LegoFreak. Your tiles are great and they can stay in the collaboration, but next time please reserve your tiles ahead of time instead of just posting them out of the blue.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

@Adarias: Thanks for posting that 'claimed' version. I'm going to keep track of it better now - it just got so many groups at once that I didn't have time to update this morning.

@Feron: I understand wanting a different template. I just think that mine is varied enough to be different and that isometric doesn't have to be limited to a certain setting or style. I believe that the sheer number of interested participants is a testament to how many people may actually want to do this. And seriously, if it comes down to there being a number of tiles that no one wants to finish, I will finish it myself with the help of friends from other communities.

As for my inactivity, I used to be pretty active. I just couldn't find the forums for a long, long time. I think I can handle a collaboration. I feel especially qualified because I have hosted complicated arts and crafts swaps online where people actually had to send physical materials to one another. Compared to that, this is rather simple.

While I'm posting, I should also say that once 12 is finished, I'm claiming #11.

Yes.

Godslayer and Skull: Your one word replies are rather useless and unnecessary because that opinion had already been stated. In addition to wasting space in the thread, you have also insulted my dignity by making it seem like I was too stupid to read that original comment the first time. So please refrain from making useless one word replies so that we can all get along.

Sherman Gill, Cave, Sohashu, etc... : If one of you have already started your piece or have something in mind, please let us all know so we don't end up with a forest on one end and the far reaches of space on the other...

assign me a tile please :) I don't care where.
Once cave and serman gill are finished with their sections, you can take section 6 if that's alright.

I guess if you guys are interested in reserving pieces now, you can go ahead and start now. Just make sure you check to see if someone else has reserved a set of squares before you go ahead and start.

Xion: You don't have to take the entire chunk of similar color sections. I just did a checkerboard pattern so 1,2, and 3 are supposed to be yellow.

This is the wrong section for a challenge, needs to be in 'Challenges and Activities' section.

I think only staff members can start topics in that forum because the 'New Topic' button didn't show up, but I saw a post about grid based collabs in this forum so I thought it would fit. My apologies.

As for starting my own miniature isometric project, I had been working on some small rooms like the one currently in my avatar, but I kind of wanted to start something bigger. I didn't see it so much as rewinding to the beginning of an epic story - I saw it as the much anticipated sequel. I guess I was wrong. Sorry :( I tend to do a lot of stupid things like this without thinking.

Cave: If you still want to do those tiles, I'll continue the project. Otherwise maybe Terley and TakaM are right and I should shelf it for a few months.

Hi there. I really like the Iso Collab 3 that has been worked on here. It rocks! I really wanted to join in, but since it's almost done I wanted to start another one now.

The template below was thrown together by me. Credit to RobAlan - the isometric blocks were pretty much copied and pasted from RobAlan's original template into a new arrangement. The rules below are also taken directly from RobAlan's thread:

Quote
For those of you who don't know the rules, they are as follows:
1. Each person may make one tile, or set of connected, similarly-colored tiles at a time.  For example, you could reserve a single tile, like 75, or you could reserve a block of tiles like {79-88-89} or {21-30-36-44-43} or "That yellow chunk with 35 in it".  Keep in mind that blocks of tiles must be touching along a side and of the same color.  Also, if you do not want to do the entirety of a large block, but want to put tiles in that area, that's fine too.  The block rule is completely optional.
2. Ideally, new tiles should connect to pre-existing tiles, but this rule can be stretched if deemed appropriate.
3. Please announce what tiles you are planning to do.  I will attempt to keep this post updated with the newest version, and mark spaces that are currently in progress.
4. Please try to use colors from tiles that have already been made, so as to attempt to make some semblance of unity in the collaboration.
5. Don't be afraid to break the iso grid.
6. Be creative, and overall, have fun!



I hope this post isn't in the wrong forum or that making this kind of collaboration isn't against the rules. I'm not sure where to begin, so... anyone want to start?

I think you'll need a government employee to pixel that last piece. That's the only way anything ever gets into area 51. </horrible pun>

Seriously though, I love the excellent mixing of styles in this piece. Is there any chance someone has a link or copy of the first two collaborations? I couldn't find them when I searched the board. I hope there will be a fourth one as well :)
