I know this is using "System Pirates" only (I.e. no space pirates) but what about the victims? I don't have any Pirate-era imperial figs, only a few pirates. Can we have the pirates pillage modern day folks or figs from another theme?

Does the large category have to include ships? I'm not that good with ships.

Sounds like fun!
Question: Minifigures/scale required or can we build with miniland scale/fabuland scale, or a cross-breed figure.
When I first learned of this contest of epic proportions, I had a neat and unique idea, but it won't be minifig scale. Is that ok?

For ships:
Can they be Imperial?
Can they be standalone?

Most likely a very obvious answer, but what does
mean? You cant build with plates on a baseplate? You cant set one baseplate on top of another? Cant stack plates to equal the height of a brick? None of these options sound correct to me, but its all I can think of...Please help!

I'm paranoid, so this idea was REMOVED. Come up with your own MOCs.
(Man, I hope no one steals this...)
Thanks, I'm glad the Fabuland option is present.
Come on, someone's gotta Fabuland-ize a contest entry!

Just to make sure, is this contest open to all members of Eurobricks, no matter where they live? So the prizes will be delivered anywhere?
I'm only asking this because so many websites limit the countries eligible for their contests, and that has irritated me to no end several times.
But yes, I will surely participate in this with at least one creation. This contest is too huge to be missed out!

This contest is open to any EB member in good standing, worldwide, unless there is some law that prevents shipping LEGO to your country, which is something I've never heard of.
Shadows is looking for stalkers. Yep, you heard me right. CLICKY!

Ah good. I didn't even think to ask that. Well I don't think there is a law against shipping Lego to Australia, and if there is, I am in a huge amount of trouble!

I just thought... Can we have Islanders attacking Pirates? I'm sure it's OK, but I was just wondering. 
Also, my other question that I asked before but nobody answered;

Q&A up in the first post!
No LDD or MLCAD, but digital camerasare allowed. You may "clean up" images and edit in backgrounds, but special effects (cannon fire e.t.c) and editing the actual MOC (removing supports, colourising bricks) are not.
Standalone is fine, but remember that people will be looking for cruelty. Imperial is fine, as is pirate, armada - and islander 
A sub-forum is a lot of effort for one contest, and would just be merged with the main forum afterwards...
Minifig photos are fine.
You can do pirate vd pirate if you want (e.g. blue hats vs red hats)
Fabuland Pirates...meh.
Yup.

Norrington, on Sep 21 2008, 05:16 PM, said:
Ok, I'm still wondering: What is the "Creative Critic" category we saw on the prize pool sheet?
Also, do ships have to be, say, attacking a town? Shelling a fort? Or can they be standalone? Can they be Imperial?

Shoc, on Sep 21 2008, 05:39 PM, said:
I was thinking that. There will be loads of entries, and having them all put in the normal Pirate forum might get a bit crowded, so maybe a sub-forum would be good. 
By the way, in the six or less photos we post, are we allowed one that is not of the MOC but of the minifigs in it, or something like that?

I believe I may be able to help you here. Say you have a 16x16 stud maximum building area, you can't overlap plates on the edges to make the building area. Basically, nothing can be built over the edge of the maximium length. But then again, you may be allowed to have a bowsprit etc. hanging over. But Phes can decide.
Yeah. I knew it would be obvious, and now that its been spelled out for me, it makes perfect sense....Thanks Cap'n Zuloo

I wouldn't think so as in the rules it states that you can only use official Lego bricks. I think it would be easiest to just stick with the official ones.

All entries are to be posted in the LEGO Pirates Forum - which makes sense considering this is a LEGO Pirate contest
