Captain Braunsfeld Posted May 7, 2017 [to be read aloud and rapidly - like a sports commentator] And here we are again for tonights final round of GoT - that famous "Game of Treasure", our treasure hunt. Well, and there they go on the left, the brave islanders, digging for the treasure, handing over the gold bars... They are working away quickly - but wait, what is that? A Marderian soldier is stealing the gold! They are forcing the natives to work for them! My goodness, there is no end to Marderian evilness. Passing the ingot to the next Marderian player, moving midfield. Steady. And the gold is gone! This came quite unexpectedly for Mardier - pirate Henry was taking a shot here. Excellent move for the pirates. The pirates now in the lead! But no - Mardier is back and more evil than ever. The pirates have lost the gold and it all goes to Mardier again. We all know the Marderian motto: "No need to be nice on the way up 'cos we're not going down" This is exciting, it is the second half in this final game and Mardier has got the gold. Which means Mardier is not broke and will continue in the GoT league in the upcoming season. Well they will surely give Eslandola, Oleon and Corrington a hard time... But again "no" - Mardier is hit from behind by another pirate. And Mardier is going down after a wonderful "thud". I heard a whisper "for Brickwall" - I suspect this guy is one of Brickwall Jones' nephews. And here we are - the pirates are back in the game. Excellent thudding there from Captain Redbeard. The higher they come, the hardier they fall in Mardier. What is this? There must be some disagreement within the pirate team? One of them is pretty tied up at the moment. Has he been double crossed by one of his red-bearded mates? No, Eslandola is back and they are striking with a vengeance! They are sweeping the ground from pirates and they have taken the gold! The Eslandolean flag is waving all over the place. And the crowd is cheering! What a great match, tonight. Certainly no disappointment for the international spectators. And on the right I can see Colonel Brickinson. Brickinson is leading his team to victory. Nobody expected the Eslandolean army. They have been using their chief weapon: surprise. Surprise and cleverness. And I wonder where they got the information that brought them here to this secret place just in time for the final moments of the game. The ingots are piling up for Eslandola. So the score is Mardier: 0, Eslandola: 542! Aaaaaaaaand the game is over! A big win for Brickinson's team tonight - and they are celebrating! The champagne is flowing as the gold is being shipped to Pontelli. What a night for Eslandola. That is it for Mardier. They are broke and won't be able to afford the license for the next season. I can see the debt collectors gathering at the side of the field and the first vultures have started to circle in ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon Posted May 8, 2017 Very funny and clever entry, Captain B, great lineup and story, and I really like the different accessories up on the side of the build, as well as the thinness of it, which works very well! Overall an excellent entry - go Eslandola! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted May 8, 2017 Cool build. I enjoy your "brick sky" style, and the figure posing and facial expressions are excellent (as usual)! Great job on the Mardierian uniforms, too. And then you have the hilarious text to go with it! I love the sport commentary / game show feel of it all. Well done all around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bodi Posted May 9, 2017 Splendid entry, funny story, the cartoonish presentation is excellent and I like these cool minifigs!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostone Posted May 9, 2017 Fantastic! And you were the one who told me at Brickmania Antwerp last year that he can't pose minifigures... This proves the opposite, and has anyone said that those painted hats are fantastic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentWolf Posted May 9, 2017 Great humorous take on this portion of the challenge! I enjoyed the read through. I do think the monkey is playing favorites a little too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bregir Posted June 11, 2017 Another classic Braunsfeld. I enjoyed the read and I think you have illustrated it brilliantly. I particularly enjoy the details you have built into the sand. I am not generally a fan of mixing yellowes with fleshies, but you use them particularly for Mardierians which works fairly well. Overall, amusing entry.
