I'm really excited and intrigued about this, but have never done anything like this in the community, or even really followed similar events before. Everything seems pretty well explained, or will make sense as we go, so I figure just jump in, right? :) I'm a newer AFOL with no local LUG, so I've been looking for something like this.
Can players use non-lego in their builds? I assume that Mega Bloks is a no-go, but I'm wondering about things like:
BrickForge
"craft" materials--- string, wire, paper, lights, stone and sand
Lego pieces that are broken, modified, painted
bits and parts from other toy brands like Playmobil or Stikfas
If not for regular corporation entries, could add-ins like I'm asking about be used in alien builds?
I know as a contest, the construction may need to be moderated in a way that wouldn't support those kind of builds, but that's how I build, and what makes me happiest, so it was worth the ask.
Also, how long does a game like this typically run?
And if I just post as I can, as a participant, not a power player, is that ok? If I can only post once a month is that a welcome addition, or a drag to the team?
Thanks!
