Joey Lock Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Mabye someone with Photoshop ( I dont have it ) should make a Petition Picture with a Hyperlink to the We want Pirates! Thread which we could place in a signatures so lego can hear our cry? Its only a suggestion *y* Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted August 18, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted August 18, 2007 Good idea, but I don't have the skills to make something good enough. Quote
Opproperaar Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Good idea, but I don't have the skills to make something good enough. Perhaps we could have a little contest. Every member could have a go at drawing an original concept for the petition picture (for those members that can draw ;-) ) and the best design would be chosen to go in photoshop. I have a friend who does have photoshop, perhaps I could ask him, though I'm sure there are enough people on these forums who have it and will gladly do it for a fellow AFOL. Second, TLC has a long standing policy that prohibits it from accepting outside ideas. Mainly because it'd cause a lot of legal issues and not to mention the danger of getting sued. Therefore, when we contact them with the idea to bring back pirates (which certainly has my vote :-D ) we'll stand little chance of them accepting this idea unless we can somehow guarantee nobody will sue them and that might prove far harder than it may seem.

El Bucanero Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Interesting idea Mr Lock. Mr Bonaparte, wasn't it you who made the Imperial Armada index banner? I think you do have some skills with photo editing software. Perhaps we could have a little contest.

I have a friend who does have photoshop, perhaps I could ask him, though I'm sure there are enough people on these forums who have it and will gladly do it for a fellow AFOL. Hmmm, interesting, but perhaps we should focus more on the message than on the design. Second, TLC has a long standing policy that prohibits it from accepting outside ideas.

Well, the idea of bringing pirates back (or more precisly "fan desired themes") has been taken in the LEGO Ambassador's issue list, so we do have a chance I think. Although, LEGO bringing back LEGO pirates because I (if) sent them the advice, would be the last thing I would sue them for! :-D Perhaps Mr Phes could make one if he has the time. Although I have a feeling he's been quite busy lately. Quote

There are fans of LEGO who won't despite being a fan stop for nothing to sue lego and perhaps get rich. If you can prove in court that someone else makes money off your idea, well needless to say they have rules against that and copyright etc. And there's no question that when pirates comes back it'll sell good and the last TLC wants is a fan who claims it was their idea to bring it back.

Governor Mister Phes Posted August 20, 2007 Governor Posted August 20, 2007 Good idea, but I don't have the skills to make something good enough. You could ask BaronSat - he'd love to help! Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted August 20, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Mr Bonaparte, wasn't it you who made the Imperial Armada index banner? I think you do have some skills with photo editing software. I did, but my graphical skills are still rather limited compared to some others on EB. But I'm improving... slowly... :-D You could ask BaronSat - he'd love to help! If he doesn't find this thread by himself in a few days, I'll leave him a PM. Edited August 20, 2007 by Bonaparte Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 21, 2007 Governor Posted August 21, 2007 Looks like you'll be leaving that PM then :-P Quote
Scouty Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Why don't you do it Mister Phes? You are the Administrator of the Pirate Forum. :-P ! it's a good idea :capn: . Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 22, 2007 Governor Posted August 22, 2007 I'm sure you're well aware of my latest project Mr Imperial Scouts. Because of that I will my forum activity will be limited to posting and answering PMs. Quote
Scouty Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I am fully aware of that Mister Phes. :capn: . Quote
