START World Translations: New Rules!!

[Solorien]

Now that we've updated our START, we are also updating the rules for having a translated world linked to START.
- - -
START WORLD RULES:

* Building your START world is entirely your responsibility. You will not be given free items. Mods and developers will not be able to help you build it.

* Your START world must be an ***EXACT*** (Yes, that means everything) copy of our START, only written in your own language. It may not have any extra doors to your other worlds. It may not have additional signs discussing your worlds or other players. It must be an EXACT copy.

* Your START world will not receive honors or WOTD or any other special prize.

* There is only one (1) START translation needed for each language. The first person to submit a translation world that meets all the requirements will be chosen.

* We will be checking your translations, so make sure that you are using appropriate language at all times.

* If we receive complaints about something in your START world - such as inappropriate language, bullying, or misinforming or cheating other players in some way - it will be removed and your account will be temporarily banned.

* If your world is chosen, we will remove your lock and place our own lock. This is because there have been too many people who have edited their worlds to scam other players after receiving a START link. We will give you a world lock and we will place a sign telling everyone that you are the translator.

If you are still interested in making a START world translation, please let us know when it is completely done. Send an email including:
- the name of the world
- the name of the player who created it (no more than 3 names)

Please, do not send us this information until your world is 100% ready!

Thanks again for being willing to donate your time, energy and supplies to help other players! We look forward to seeing your START world translation!

I will be willing to make one in Chinese however I can't type Chinese on signs.

[EasykGT]

I can do a start world in Polish

You should give them a reward for making a start world, not just their world lock back.
It takes a ton of work and effort to copy the current start world.
Plus the jammers and such.

This should be counted as volunteering.

[Importance]

I will be willing to do Thai, but I can't type ภาษาไทย on signs... maybe I'll have to type the pronounciation, like "pa-sa-tai-dee-mak"... which is hard for both the typer and the reader...

[BLYoshi]

Thank you. Too many people have been making start worlds just as token farms. This makes it more of a volunteer service, for people who actually wish to help the game grow!

[Aram Sevag]

Are we supposed and to include the items like the Crystal Seed and Desert Blast if we are making a translation?

[Solorien]

Do these rules also apply to already built start worlds?

Yes, they do. If you currently have a START world, you should update it soon or it will be removed. If you aren't willing to have us lock your START world, it will also be removed. We are making them all the same because we've had so many complaints about the way some of them are taking advantage of players.

Nobody is being forced to do it. If they aren't interested in volunteering their time and efforts, then they don't have to do it.

[Solorien]

They have to be exact copies.

[TheKill69]

I can make a french one. Problem is , how do we get a good world name?

I'm sorry about the inability to use non-English characters. Unfortunately, the game's not programmed to handle them right now.

You'll have to figure that out. We cannot delete or rename someone else's world to accommodate you. Sorry.

Use frstart, startfr, find a synonym for the french word for start 'debut' or 'commencer'... I was going to make a french start, but decided that im lazy, and TBH im not that good at french...

[EasykGT]

I am already making the start world in Polish, its called STARTPOLISH.

[TheKill69]

You'll have to figure that out. We cannot delete or rename someone else's world to accommodate you. Sorry.

Ok then , i think i already found a good name for that.
I'll be doing that French copy of start.

As some request was done above , can we have an update of the render of Start?

[Spotlight]

I will make a German start world if you give me a render world.

[Solorien]

Render is posted on FB. Please check the OP for new rule regarding which world will be chosen for each language.
