Professor Thaum Posted July 26, 2020 Dr Thaum : Hear ye, hear ye ! Dear peoples of Tortuga, and all over the Brick Seas, I, Doctor Oliver Thaum, hereby declare open the first Tortuga's sand castle contest. Open to all who wish to join. This was a promise I made to the Jolly Roger crew. This contest would be held in two categories : Category A : the prelude Show your builders preparing for the contest ( arriving in Tortuga, staff meeting on the beach, buying spades and buckets, discussing plan in a tavern, sabotaging other competitors' stuff, etc, etc) Category B : the sand castle Show your team and your sand castle on the beach of Tortuga As this is a minor challenge, the size of all build will be 16x16. Winner of a category will be awarded a free class 2 ship offered by the doctor, the 2nd will be awarded a medium property on Tortuga and the third a small property. All activated by a micro build. The winner of the challenge will be awarded a large property on Tortuga (activated by micro) the challenge runs from August the 1st to September the 5th 2020 Callaghan : Doctor, I think I'm going to win this challenge !! Look at that ! Dr Thaum : This thing is ugly Callaghan, some style is required ! BROMEBLOBLOLOLOMBROM Callaghan : AAAAAARGH ! Dr Thaum : You're a bonehead Callaghan !

Ross Fisher Posted July 28, 2020 It's a really great idea. Not really the Canon's style, but I'll see if I can enter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted July 29, 2020 Ooh - I think I know a certain pirate Captain who would enjoy building him a sand castle in Tortuga (while waiting for his ship to be finished ). When was the deadline again? - I think we should be able to do this! Excellent hollow sand castle Callighan got had too! Too bad that it buried his shovel on the way down...
