So I started writing this post while waiting to go to work but I lost everything I wrote. Basically I was bored and thinking about how maybe there could be different modes of Base Race for special occasions. Of course this might be considered more after the community has grown a bit more.
One idea was of course team Base Race with teams of 2. The balancer would be doubling or maybe even tripling the materials list somehow, otherwise it would be far too easy! Another would be the single-session race, where you have to collect everything within a single session as fast as you can, instead of over the course of the month. How about a Base Race where you're confined to a single biome?
Honestly, I have no idea if these ideas are any good =P I'm back from work now and I'm dead tired so I can't tell. If anyone else has a suggestion for a different kind of gamemode I'd like to hear it!

Hey Cobra! I have actually been thinking along these lines as well =D The other day I mentioned to Ojii that, once the community has grown, we might have a team competition running alongside the usual solo. I would also really like to see some people doing team games or vs games, even with Base Race still small... They wouldn't be playing competitively (against the solo players), but it would make some great video that I'm sure lots of people would enjoy watching =]
I'm definitely going to be doing some things in the future to change things up a bit and keep it interesting. So, yeah, if anyone has any suggestions for different gamemodes then I would very much like to hear it too!

This would be cool in later months.
Maybe even one that everyone plays on one server, So its also a race for resources?

Going along the route of a one server game, one possible way of doing this fairly would be a more simplified variant. I've got a couple of ways this could work, but both involve the lack of an item list:
1. You're given more time, but the timer is for both collecting materials and creating your build. A more "race" oriented variant, essentially.
2. The regular timer applies to your resource collecting; instead of trying to finish the fastest, you're trying to collect the most resources for use in your build. Could be done as a bit of a "build your own list" style (with top row of the chest you put your stuff in being your base building blocks), or you could just have a larger cache and store as much as you can get, and then you have until the end of the month on the server to build on or off camera, much like the normal build stage. In other words, this is a more "base" oriented variant on Base Race. This version also opens up the possibility of having themes around certain types of blocks (so, for instance, for a redstone-based challenge, you may require Redstone Ore or a Redstone Block to be part of everyone's basic components).
These aren't the best fleshed out ideas, I admit, but they are certainly something to consider.
