Siegfried Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Hinckley said: We already have an application for one and it will tentatively run this month, is it okay if you are scheduled further out? I can't see a problem with that. My MOC might take some time to make anyway. :-P
jifel Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) Sinner said: Yes. I was planning on making one anyway. It has been a while since we did a Mecha contest and we have a lot of new members who I think would be interested in this. thanks, and what you said sounds good, but by mini-fig size it could be the size of the little cd player thing that hacked into the computers(mini-con size) or large, oh, and only one entry jifel Edited November 5, 2007 by jifel

What does this mean? Sorry, I can't seem to make any sense of it and I've really tried. :-$ I think what Sinner meant was that the mechs should be mini-fig scale, meaning a mini-fig could pilot one, no microscale or technic (maxi-fig) scale. Not homemaker maxi-fig :-D :-D :-D Well, a gylman piloted mech would be cool...anyway, I feel I'm babbling now. I suppose if you want the CD player thing that hacked into your computer to pilot the mech that would be cool, but I suggest the contest uses only LEGO elements.

I think he meant a robot the size of a minifig-sized stereo like the Decepticon that hacked into the US army computers in the movie: (the one in the rear, about 1,5 meters high in robot format) He could transform into a robot the size of a human (so minifig-size here).

Hinckley Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 :-D :-D :-D Thanks LuxorV! For some reason I thought he was saying something hacked into his computer... Guess I need to watch that movie. :-$

Hinckley Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Since contests are now being scheduled, we will only schedule one per member at a time. That way everyone has a fair chance to get their contest up and running. With that in mind, ~VBBN~, which of the two contests you submitted would you rather run first?

I am not yet ready for SigFig Vig yet. Gotta work on that banner still :-/ . ~VBBN~
Athos Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Maybe there is a better way to organize this rather than having a single (soon to be massive) thread for contest requests. I have two ideas: (1) have a contest admin who can field PM'd requests and schedule contests; or (2) start a contest request sub-forum. Personally, I prefer the former... Steve

I have had a ton of contests in the past. Module City Contest Cafe' Extension Happy Halloween Lord of the rings(TBC...) Or (3), have a forum for contests only, to cause less confusion. That'll save lots of pinning topics!

Steve Thanks Athos :-) but I think the thread is best, actually. It is easy to reference and easily accessible. I don't see a problem keeping up with it.

Batbrick Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) Okay, am I allowed to give a request? I was thinking that due to the recent love of post-apoc we've seen latelt, it might be fun to do a competition based on it. I was hoping that it could be lke the sigfig's house comp that isn't restricted by vig space, but other certain rules. So..... Theme of competition: Post-Apoc - create your own post-apoc scene featuring at least 3, and at maximum 6, of the following juicy choices: A dead tree, a tank/defense vehicle, armoured wall, a mutant/s or creature/s, a barbarian faction, a rebel style faction, any other fitting faction, a robot, a natural landscape like a cave or cliff, a spaceship, a building or base (can only have 2 or less) and a dead creature or skeleton. Format: Baseplate of any size up to any size from a 8x8 plate to a 48x48 plate. Only slight overlap, if any, and other details apart from ones above can be included, but scene must revolve around choices above. Length: 6 or 7 weeks, depends on the amount of contestants interested, and deadline can be extended if necessary. Voting 2 weeks or a bit more perhaps. Forum: Your own creations Prize- bragging power, since I can't really give much, you could be in some of my MOC as a character though, or maybe get a title or avatar if an admin is kind enough. Really its for fun so who cares about the prize? (says all the losers anyway! :-D ) Thats it I guess, hope thats okay! :-$ Batbrick-liks-post-apoc Away! >:-) Edited November 18, 2007 by Batbrick
