I am working on mine right now. It has taken longer than expected... 8-| I hope to have it finished and posted in the next 12 hours. *sweet*

My pleasure! You will need more details than that however! How about; Theme: Make a vehicle that can be changed into a robot. (Think transformers.) Format: Freeform, but you should be aiming at minifig sized. Length: One month building time Forum: LEGO Space & Mecha Categories: One at first, but if there are more than ten entries this could be changed to make voting easier. Eitherway, there will only be one winner. Prize: Supreme gloating power. Well I did it for him! :-D

I somehow doubt that you have read this. To save you the time, all contests must be approved now. Post your idea in that topic and until then consided this on pause. I am interested in the contest however. I have been planning on trying to make a transformer for a while now. *sweet*

The pirate situation is becoming worse worldwide and it doesn't receive the media attention that it deserves. Several times while I was in the navy were were shadowed by pirates, but whenever they got close enough to see what we were they ran off. Not sure if it was because we outgunned them or because we were Australian... :-D

In Australia we learn maths at school. ;-)

...and I thought I had it bad! I like that idea. *sweet*

Thanks. *sweet* It isn't that hard. It takes under five minutes a day to keep it updated. Hmmm. Would there be any perks?

Don't worry, I have a plan. I'm going to buy a second Paddle steamer and walk to your house.

*reads note* That is why the universe put us on opposite sides of the planet. ;-)

There's nothing to forgive. *sweet*

Oh! :'-( Sorry! I could swear that it was wrong but looking at it again I can see it was I that was wrong. I'm sooo embarassed. Will you forgive me?

Happy birthday! *sweet* Did I ever mention that I think "Code of Hero" is one of the best episodes that I have seen on TV for any show? I still cry watching it too...

Added, and welcome to Eurobricks imperialforces! It's funny how several people made their first posts here. It would serve me right if everyone who owns one joins EB just to tell me their number. :-P

What said that, something up your nose? Surely you can't be refering to Yoda, as he said; X-D

Not possible. This board only allows three questions... but you make a fair point!

:-D Well you could always use this as your Kill the Skelies entry; just say that one is under the covers and you are going to dutch oven it! :-P

I voted fo jof's daughters car because it is orange and pumkin shaped. The others are one or the other, but only hers is both! ;-)

I sure do but only if I have to. I also put on my best cringing face while doing so. ;-)

If you want to buy one there's 4917 and I think the one MicVash is taling about is; 4097 Also, I bought this one for my boy and he loved it! 4881 It's too late. :'-(

Welcome to Eurobricks! *sweet* I love MechWarrior style Mecha too. When MechWarrior II demo first come out I used to watch that over and over... Anyone know where I can get a copy of the MechWarrior II demo? I lost it years ago (I lent my computer to someone and it wasn't the same when I got it back :-| ) and I have never been able to find it again. :'-)

Well to me a literal wanker is someone who does it a lot. At least once a week, if not once a day... It's like the title "Actor". I have been in a few shows here and there, but I don't think I should call myself an Actor. I have just done it a few times. Same story with wanking. Any more questions? ;-) Yay! Hurrah for nonsense! :-P

:-P Err.... I meant with the bucket. On your head or something similar. Or is the bucket under the blankets? Have you spoken with Jocko about this?

I did! :-P I decided that saying self-servicer wasn't funny anymore and was probably confusing people... 8-| I like clarity afterall, and I want people to be sure that I am a wanker. ;-) (Not in a literal sense; I am married after all...)

Interestingly I feel the same way. My first vig was for a contest on EB and I have never made one for just fun. But I do think we are kidding ourselves here. A lot. If someone submitted an X-Wing with wheels for a car contest wouldn't that be a bit silly? That is how I see our take on vignettes. Yes, there is an overlap rule, but as the old saying goes; "If my Grandmother had wheels she would be a wagon". Picking apart a rule and running with a single word instead of the sentence as a whole seems silly to me. The rule states "Vig must be built on and 8x8 base, overlap to your heart's content". 10x8 (and even 16x8) is one thing, but the way we are going our next contest will have more and more people forgetting that there was supposed to be an 8 in there at all. So to answer your question Yoda, when I said small MOCs I had in mind a 16x16 rule, but in reality I am happy with whatever people agree upon. I just want clarity and.... well... agreement. X-D If people feel constrained by 8x8 then maybe we should go for 16x8 or 16x16. As ApophisV pointed out in his excellent link, 16x16 is an "accepted" vig size anyway! :-P So in summary, I propose that the next time we do a vig contest we either say 16x16, or make no mention of size at all.

While on that subject I love his new avatar as well! *wub* (I've read the book too! :-D )
