Yes, Islanders are allowed. Cannibalistic islanders eating pirates would fit right in with this contest. Were you able to flee fast enough? For a small or digital entry, the entry must be able to fit inside a 16X16 square. The spirit of the contest is evil, gore, and insanity. You may have any combination of people performing heinous acts upon each other.

It doesn't matter what you place your heinous entry on. You may use baseplates, BURPS, plates, bricks, or prefab hulls. If your entry's longest dimension (excluding height) is 16 studs or less, it will fall into the Small Division. If your entry is longer than 16 studs, it will fall into the Large Division.

Come check out the Pirate Forum Contest that has just launched! You should be warned, those who do not embrace evil, gore, and insanity will not feel welcomed in the Pirate Forum until the contest is over.

Looting, robbing, smuggling and plundering are the hobbies of every healthy pirate. This contest explores the nefarious side of the LEGO System pirate's life, so your mission is to show us the gory aspect of their daily activities in the Golden Age of Piracy. If you have a soft stomach then you'd better not enter the pirate forum until the contest is over! Blood, gore, and insanity will prevail until then. Winners! It's time to announce the winners of the contest! Thanks everyone for participating, you all did great! With almost accepted 50 entries, the Large and Small Categories were a great success.

This should be your first image. The first picture will become your thumbnail for the voting round, so pick well.

For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. [*]18. All entries are considered WIPs (Works In Progress) until the deadline passes. You may change and improve your MOC right up to the deadline. [*]19. Your entry has to contain something evil, depicting the spirit of the contest. No peaceful scenes. [*]20. For each category, EB staff will make a first selection, and then EB members will vote for their favorite entry among that selection. If the staff doesn't question your sanity based upon your gruesome entry, it's not making the first cut.

Does the entry need a baseplate or custom plate? It doesn't matter what you place your heinous entry on. You may use baseplates, BURPS, plates, bricks, or prefab hulls. Does it mean only a 16x16 square? For a small or digital entry, the entry must be able to fit inside a 16X16 square. What pirate factions are allowed? Any pirate faction may be performing gruesome acts onto any other faction is allowed. Only factions related to this Pirate Forum are allowed. Space Pirates will not be accepted. This includes, but is not limited to: Pirates Islanders Armada Napoleonic Wars Golden Age of Sail Aztec Maya Inca Fantasy pirates similar to Pirates of the Caribbean [*]Are minifig scaled MOCs the only scale allowed? Scale does not matter, but it may be hard to see mayhem and heinous acts in micro scale. [*]Is the description I provide for my entry sound evil enough for the contest? It's hard to judge based upon a text description. Your description may sound inadequate for the contest, but then your entry turns out to be insanely awesome. Remember, entries are considered W.I.P.s until the end of the contest. If you're looking for ideas, I suggest the same as KB. Check out the Pillage the Village Contest from 2008,large, medium, and small entries. [*]Are early steam vessels allowed? Yes, early steam vessels will be allowed similar to the types found in the Ship Index. [*]May I mutilate and brutalize the actual Lego bricks in my creation by cutting, gluing, painting them?

Get building, lads, there be pillagin' and plunderin' to be done here!

Why am I being keelhauled?!? I do have to say that I have very nice abs, which explains why I'm attracting a mermaid. For future reference, my physic more closely resembles Nice idea for a MOC(?), and welcome back!

Staslegomaster, you need to quit bumping really old topics with one line comments. Please review Revisiting Old Topics Guidance, which is linked in the Site Guidelines Topic.

I agree. I don't think TLG would create another Pirate Chess Set right away. I like how the playing board is removable to allow multiple ways to play with this MOC. I have thought it would be fun to make my own Pirate Chess MOC, and this would be a good place to look for inspiration. I would probably have at least a "jail tower" for each faction on the board and use black and brown for the pirate's jail, and white and yellow for imperial's jail. These jails would then serve the location where captured pieces are moved to during the game. These towers would then have a purpose during the game and for alternate means of play. I love that the imperial pawns all have shakos. This is a huge advantage this MOC has over the set. I am not a huge fan of skelie pirates, and would prefer regular MF pirates.

Are you referring to 2016? How do you know the sets didn't sell well? There were two waves of POTC in May and November 2011. Stranger Tides was released May 2011 with no new sequals expected until 2013, so it wasn't surprising that the theme was discontinued. Phredit: Since you have not responded, I assume you meant to discuss Pirates in 2016. This topic is now for 2016 Pirate Rumors and Discussion and has been renamed.

Great use of that sloped brick. I think the sails could be build better, but it's still a fine vessel. You should keep naughty waves out of the picture.

This MOC is a great improvement over the Cross-Bone Dingy set. I thought the set was terrible. The ship's layout and its rigging look real nice together. The MOC looks pretty good with its tumblehome. I don't mind the green at all. Would it be difficult to have the steering functional?

I voted B, but I could see a temporary tier of more complex rules for a specific challenge between factions or within a faction. People entering a challenge should already have a basic understanding of the basics, and would be the one's likely to enter challenges. After the challenge, everything should still translate into the 'basic' economy of BoBS. I agree.

Andrew, there are reasons why bumping certain old topics is frowned upon. EB Site Guidelines has a link to the Revisiting old topics (Bumping) topic, which I recommend that you read. Hound Knight has not logged into Eurobricks for almost four years. It is likely that he will not return to Eurobricks soon to answer your question. I suggest going to the main index of the Minifig Customization Workshop forum where there are tutorials listed to create your own decals using the above posted images.

You could create your own torso decal utilizing the The great pirate torso LIBRARY. I still have a MF using the one shown below:

I'm glad to see you've reposted your images. I like the complete spar deck. The layout of the decks looks more like a flush-decked frigate now. Great job so far. I look forward to seeing this MOC completed.

I found it. Next time, please post these types of requests in the relevant index discussion topic.

No worries Adam. Just so you know, you can use your Yahoo account and log into Flickr. Even if you keep your images large when you upload them to Flickr, you can post them in smaller sizes that meet EB requirements. Check out our Flickr Tutorial

My apologies Cousarmy.

I revised the title of this topic, so people knew what kind of MOC you need input for.

All recent posts that only discuss the Avengers Game have been moved to the LEGO Marvel's Avengers Video Game Discussion in the Community Forum. Please go to that thread to discuss the game.

This discussion about the Avengers Game has been moved to this topic.

Bumping old MOCs like this generally frowned upon. Please review our Revisiting old topics (Bumping) topic for the accepted guidance to bumping old topics. I also suggest that you read the Site Guidelines. The questions/requests you are asking are pointless. The original builder has not logged into Eurobricks since January 2014. I wouldn't expect gatorzip02 to respond.

The entire MOC looks great and very complete. Keep up the good work. I really like your water technique. I was thinking of using a similar technique, but I keep getting sets instead of BL orders.

Please ask questions to specific users though EB's private message system. This topic is closed.

Please don't bump old topics with one lined comments. You should review our Revisiting old topics (Bumping), which is linked in the Site Guidelines
