Timeline
December 1st, 2016 - December 30th, 2016
For the past two years ('14 and '15), the Imagineering Points Standings played a key role in the final competition that would take place in December. If you're reading this now or in the future, you're probably wondering what the Imagineering Points Standing were. As we continue to travel back in time aboard our time traveling forum vehicles, this is a good place to transition to some of the older premises surrounding the competitions on wdwmagic. The points standing was the year long tally where competitors would gain points based on where they finished in the competitions of the year. For example, for a competition of 10 players, the winner would receive 10 points, 2nd place 9 points, etc. And those points would stack up over the competitive year.
This worked for elimination based competitions, but not as well for team based non-elimination competitions, so since 2016, the points system hasn't been used. But nevertheless - it is essential to understanding the 'year end competition' for 2014, 2015, which we will get to later on.

For 2016, the style of the year end competition changed slightly with the title of Eisner's Game (themed after Ender's Game) and hosted by @kmbmw777 in his first ever hosting position. This competition would take place in the 'future' with exotic challenges to test our creativity. Consisting of 3 rounds that would get increasingly more challenging and exclusive, imagineers would be in teams and compete individually for the ultimate prize, which ended up going to @FigmentPigments in the end as she capped off her masterful first season of imagineering with a competition win.
The sample project is taken from Round 1 - in which all 15 contestants were on the same team and tasked with creating a theme park in outer space, hundreds of years in the future.
Sample Project
Disney Nebula
The year is 2466 AD
Hundreds of years ago, the words "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" ushered in a wave of space exploration and opened our eyes to the enlightenment of human discovery. For decades later, we strove to reach beyond our earth, and explore the great beyond.
Timeline of NASA Events:
2036 - Orion IV crew lands on Mars, and mankind has officially walked on two planets.
2045 - Aries XV rocket and its crew lands on Asteroid 32 - in the asteroid belt beyond Mars
2057 - Discovery II lands on the moon of Titan, use of hypersleep is achieved due to the long spaceflight to Saturn.
2088 - Discovery X travels into Neptune and images of the gas giant are taken from inside.
2120 - Phoenix V lands on Venus - with the production of a heat shield that sustains 800 degree heat on the surface; mankind walks on 3 planets.
2150 - NASA launches a full-scale effort to pierce the edge of the solar system, using a demo warp drive, many flight tests unsuccessful.
2200 - Disney and NASA team up to design a resort on the Moon.
2286 - Discovery XX - successfully lands on Pluto - mankind walks on first dwarf planet
2320 - NASA Warp drive complete - Discovery XXV - breaks the speed of light and travels outside the solar system to the Atlas system
2322 - Discovery XXV and A.I.R. land on Xanadu - mankind walks on the first planet outside the solar system.
2350 - Warp Drive 2.0 allows one to travel out of the solar system in 1 month.
2380 - Warp Drive 3.0 allows interstellar travel to be accomplished in 1 week.
2400 - Warp Drive 4.0 introduces Mach 7 - "lightspeed" achieved.
2410 - Discovery of Wormhole, allows transport to thousands of other galaxies on the other side of the universe.
2340 - Over 75 known planets in the attainable universe have life, NASA travels to 50 of them, deem them habitable.
2440 - Disney and NASA team up to design the Disney Space Cruise Line - a traveling space ship showing guests the edges of the solar system and excursions around the universe.
2466 - Disney Nebula blasts off for the first time.
