You're confusing me. If you're talking about the Arkitech contest those are all a tie for first place. There would appear to be no second place awards in the video portion of the contest this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea wasn't originally made by GG Fizz. I made an ARK Chessboard back in February 2016, and another person made it way back in 2015, so there's nothing original with any of these.

Ok but still an unoriginal piece won And in the criterias for choosing a winner are quote "These bases are judged based upon a number of different factors such as their creativity, uniqueness, how fun of a base it is, the difficulty of building it, the functionality it provides and much more!" Hope you get my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topherallen07 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The Pirate ship is amazing. I hope in the future we get a Pirate waterworld type map and can have alot more ships, and water battles. Maybe add the legendary Leviathan, giant octopuss Kraken that if it latches onto ships for a long time can pull them into the depths maybe it attaches and pulls people off, add water Wyvern,Hydra, sea horse, etc. I really want a pirateship base.
