Trial

Trials consists of a test to become Builder on Foxshot, which involves building a house based on a trial reference from the discord server. To pass one must get 3 green Mod votes or 1 green Director vote. If one gets 2 red votes or a red Director vote, they fail and become a Trainee. Trainee may take another trial with a different reference.

Argument against House for Trial
Many people have argued against building a house for their trial because it limits them creatively, preventing them from building what they prefer such as a ship or a train. However, Foxshot is flooded with vehicle builders, it is important to recruit builders who are also good with architecture. Trials are also houses since few builders do make houses, so trial houses can be used in suburban neighborhoods if they pass.

Trial Standards
The current standards for Trial houses are as follows:


 * built around 1.5:1 scale
 * use 3d windows
 * standard windows are 2 blocks tall
 * doors are 2x3, 2 wide, 3 tall
 * use stained glass for windows
 * no flat roof unless shown in the reference
 * correct color matching the reference
 * good, accurate proportions
