INTRODUCTION

This is a challenge for Garry's Mod, one of the most awesomest physics sandbox games in existence. The aim is to build a fort. Any sort of fort will do. The challenging bit is this: You cannot use the Physics Gun or Noclip on any part of your fort.

PHYSGUN RULES

You can't bypass the Physgun, by Easy Welding then Undoing to move props, etc. You can, however, use the Physgun on other bits (which will not be part of your fort). You may use Winches, Pulleys, etc. to move props. Levers can also be constructed out of flat props.

NOCLIP RULES

You cannot Noclip under any circumstances. You must build scaffoldings in order to get up high. (You can Physgun the scaffoldings, they aren't part of fort). You may set the gravity to 100 (moon gravity) or 600 (Earth gravity) but no other settings.

SCORING

The score is a percentage.

40% is gained for not Physgunning your fort at all.

20% is gained for using absolutely no Noclipping.

10% is gained if the fort has a sound structure, and does not blackhole when moved.

10% is gained for your fort having the “homey” touches, e.g. letter boxes, chairs, tables, beers, etc.

5% is gained for building a good scaffolding.

5% is gained for having doors and windows on the fort.

5% is gained for having cameras, and surveillence.

4% is gained for having turrets, traps and other security features.

1% is gained for having built the fort on 600 (Earth gravity).

SUBMISSION

The completed fort must be submitted as a save file, with screen shots. A “construction diary” listing the steps taken to prove lack of Physgunning and Noclipping is also requested.
