Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 617: Chapter 585: A Big Surprise for the Players!

As midnight approached, Super Tomato called it a day after spending a lively evening with his fans in Germany.

Turning his attention back, he planned to continue addressing the problem of the “erotic redstone figure” outside the Forbidden City Building Group.

They had already spent an afternoon and a night on this issue, and neither the live streaming room nor the fan group had been able to reach a unified consensus.

Although Super Tomato was the project leader, many others had also joined in, hence he didn’t want to act arbitrarily.

Especially during the later “drawing with redstone dust” phase, many enthusiastic players from outside his team also came to participate and help voluntarily.

After all, this was the [Public World No. 61], not their private server. It was difficult to restrict others from entering.

And Super Tomato couldn’t engage in aggressive behavior like claiming territory, such a move could seriously damage his career if it goes wrong.

As a result, they couldn’t come up with a charter.

The good news was that Cloud Dream had demonstrated a solution to such tricky situations, not once but twice ——

Voting.

So ——

“Let’s vote then!” Super Tomato suggested.

He promptly started editing the voting options promptly after saying it ——

[How to deal with the Redstone Challenge drawing area?]

1. Just register as it is! We’ll make changes if it’s not allowed.

2. Please don’t mess around, participate sincerely, I beg you (I will kowtow to you).

3. Let’s compete properly, but designate a portion for creating erotic graphics.

4. Maybe we should try reporting, let’s see how the authorities react before deciding.

——

After sending the voting options to the [Redstone Challenge Construction Team] group chat, Super Tomato finished his live stream and disappeared.

Leaving the fans with question marks on their faces.

…

…

The next morning, Super Tomato nervously picked up his mobile phone and entered the construction team group chat to check the voting results after waking up.

He was really hoping that [Option 2] would win.

He had already kowtowed, it should have some effect, right?

If that didn’t work, then [Option 3] would also be okay!

You all want to draw erotic graphics, fine, but do it on your own and don’t disturb my competition!

Unfortunately, when he checked the results, only three people in the group voted for [Option 2].

[Option 3] also only had eight people.

Although he was a bit upset, he was somewhat prepared for this outcome —— didn’t Cloud Dreams’ vote also result in [Excrement odor doubled]?

But what’s more outrageous is that these people also played a precise control vote ——

Both [Option 1] “Participate directly” and [Option 4] “Report ourselves” tied with 174 votes!

Tied for first!

“Alright, you guys are awesome!”

Super Tomato had nothing to say.

But he walked his talk, he really started to register for the competition and report himself!

As a result, as soon as Lincoln arrived at the company, Little Chun came to consult about this problem.

——Little Chun only took one day off to get married to Randall, they are still discussing the exact wedding date, so she came back to work the next day.

Currently, they think that winter is too cold and Little Chun’s body is not suitable for a complex wedding ceremony, so as long as her health does not deteriorate significantly in the meantime, they will choose a warm and sunny day in spring, invite a few friends and relatives, and hold the wedding outdoors.

Just like the simple wedding of John Wick and Helen Wick in “Speed Chase”.

Little Chun has not asked this question solely for the sake of Super Tomato’s unique situation.

Although the competition was just announced, there are many players who already have completed works, and there are a large number of works registering for the competition every day.

For works with no problems, the system automatically reviews them and approves their entry into the product library.

But for those that fall into a gray area and it is not clear whether they violate the rules, they will enter the manual review phase.

There are quite a few works like Super Tomato’s with erotic graphics, and many of them are even more explicit.

It would be easy to reject all such works, but giving players as much creative freedom as possible is a challenge.

Cloud Dream has never been fond of one-size-fits-all solutions.

So the question came up ——

How obscene does it have to be to be considered a violation?

Or how much exposed skin counts as a violation?

Upon hearing this question, Lincoln’s first reaction was not about the review of the competition, but: “Is it very explicit? Wait a minute, I will check it out on site.”

“?” A question mark slowly appeared over Little Chun’s head.

“I must see it first to have a right to speak!” Lincoln argued confidently. “Mavis, wait for me here.”

“Mavis wants to go too!” Mavis didn’t want to be left behind.

“Children should not watch indiscriminately.” Lincoln tried to discourage.

“Children should watch indiscriminately!” Mavis retorted defiantly, “People are also drawing Mavis!”

“? ? ?! Who?!” Lincoln was shocked, I’m going to get him! Ban! Block! Hide!

Mavis tilted her head, her small hand waved, and a dense array of windows appeared in front of Lincoln.

The sheer number of them nearly gave Lincoln a heart attack.

But when he looked closer, he let out a sigh of relief: most of them were huge sculptures piled up.

Although they were large in scale, the appearance was still Mavis’s cute one.

Only a small number of drawings were there, but they were all proper, with no violations.

Phew, that was close.

But after Mavis scared him, Lincoln’s heart to go to the scene to look at the erotic figure… no, the heart to go to the scene to inspect the competition works, faded a bit, so he covered Mavis’s eyes with one hand and opened the competition works sent by Little Chun with the other to have a look.

His first reaction was: Eye-opening!

His second reaction was: The internet is not lawless!

It’s really too outrageous. Someone even drew erotic images of real-life celebrities.

There were even more unimaginable ones —— Erotic graphics of dinosaur mating!

Almost without thinking, Lincoln immediately realized: It’s time for the Operation Team to put together a set of creative standards.

At least the creative standards for [Public World], otherwise these people will sooner or later cause trouble.

Especially when it comes to the rights to celebrity likenesses, if there’s a problem, they won’t go after the players, but will come to Cloud Dream.

Compared to this, the scale issue of competition entries is actually the easiest to solve —— as long as they don’t overtly hint at explicit content or directly expose sensitive parts, they can participate.

Sexiness has never been a problem.

Right! Animal mating does not belong to the erotic, it can also participate in the competition!

After listening to this, Little Chun hesitated slightly. “What about the players’ personal world? Are we not managing that?”

“The personal world is up to them, as long as they don’t publish it in public places, we don’t need to manage it.”

“…” Little Chun was speechless, “Alright.”

Next, instead of leaving in a hurry, Little Chun said, “The Mod Sharing Platform for ‘My World’ is done. You’re free now, so let’s go take a look?”

The production period for the mod sharing platform was about the same as what Clark had estimated, it was indeed finished in just two days.

“Alright, let’s go.” Lincoln got up and went to their virtual office with Little Chun.

When stepping through the teleportation gate, he couldn’t help but think: it seems like the “Terraria” Survival Challenge can also start to be prepared.

This will be the first time Cloud Dream introduced “horror” and “hardcore” game content.

It will definitely be a big surprise for the players!
