Stealing Creation
Original Release date - 11 November 2008

There are two teams, each signified by the color of their capes, blue and red. The teams compete against each other to gather sacred clay to process into various items or to steal them from the opposing team. Gathering clay, processing clay, depositing clay and items at the team's home base, and inflicting combat damage on the opposing team earn points. In the end, the team with the most points wins. The winning team is granted a 10% point bonus.

Players collect clay, which is thought to be the "building blocks used by gods to create worlds." Every resource in the game yields sacred clay.

Players can chop clay from trees with a hatchet.
Players can mine clay from rocks with a pickaxe.
Players can fish clay from pools with a harpoon.
Players can catch clay from swarms with a butterfly net.

Players then process clay into various items.

Players can make tools to collect more clay.
Players can make weapons and armour to engage in combat with the opposing team.
Players can make barriers to fortify skilling locations against attack by the opposing team.
Players can make food to heal from damage inflicted by the opposing team.
Players can make a variety of combat potions.

As previously mentioned, players can also steal clay and items from the opposing team and either use them or deposit them at their own base for points. Only items in inventory can be stolen, not worn items.

All clay and items (including food and potions) are tiered, with higher-tiered items having more capabilities and higher stats. Higher-tiered items are made from higher-tiered clay.

The game ends when one of two conditions is met:

One minute has elapsed since all sacred clay locations have been exhausted.
20 minutes of total game time have elapsed.

The Stealing Creation arena is square-shaped and can be very large or very small, depending on the number of people in the game. Scattered randomly throughout the arena are smaller squares, each containing one kind of resource from which players can gather clay.

Objects located in the smaller squares, located around the arena, are:

Rock (Mining)
Tree (Woodcutting)
Pool (Fishing)
Swarm (Hunter)
Altars, which recharge your Prayer and energy, all at once.
Creation kilns, which are used to process the clay that is gathered.
Fragments, which can be collected by anyone.

Also scattered throughout the arena are various obstacles, some of which can be used by the player. These include:

Rift (requires 40 agility)
Wall (requires 60 agility)
Fog
Large rock

The locations of the clay, obstacles, altars, and kilns differ every game. A basic clay pit and Creation kiln are always close to each of the two bases.

Stealing creation was about summoning and that is not in this game.

It never revolved around summoning though, It only had summoning in the game and as rewards same as every single other skill. It would be easy to exclude summoning items as the games main goal is non combat clay collection as stated in the detailed description listed above.

In my opinion summoning was always the worst and least important part of stealing creation because the only use of summoning in the game was holding a bit of extra clay or to help when killing other players to take their clay.

100% support. Most fun I've ever had in a minigame. The rewards could be adjusted if needed.

IF you look at the lore of the minigame, it has to do with summoning. The entire connection to the skill meant that since the skill is not in the game, they would have to alter the engine itself to add it.

Support.

SC was very entertaining because it allowed players to utilize nearly all of their skills. Even theiving to steal from the other team. The rewards were good too. The sacred clay hammer helped me save money on smithing do.
