I don't know if anyone of you have ever played this little game, but it's sort of fun (esp. out in the wilderness around a camp fire). Oh well, I suppose this is the digital age now... In any case: The game starts out: It was a dark and stormy night... Each person/participant adds a single line to the story. The story goes anywhere and it's a lot of fun. If someone would like to continue, I will start the story by saying: It was a dark and stormy night...

I give you a strike for not using an official Lego torso (although permitted in the contest rules). It's similar to creating your own piece, or what some call "illegal building" (although I disagree with the term). To me, building with Lego has always created the challenge of working with the pieces you have, rather than making your own. Some would argue that creating a decal (which I have done as well), is creative and difficult, which I agree with. It just isn't a real Lego piece and rather tests your graphic ability vs. your creativity at working within Lego limitations. In any case; however, I like your story the best which I think added a nice background and went beyond the limitations of describing the minifig. Nice job with the story. I think these are all very good, and I'm very impressed with the imagery that the participants took time to create. I enjoy contests like this a lot, if the participation is there. I'd say 12 entries is pretty good. Thanks to all the participants!

I had the thought of building one, but I really don't have a lot of pirate pieces. I like the use of the black sales and the brown/black color combination (in both MOCs). Works very well. I'd put either of these ships up against the Mega Block POC ships any day. I would probably choose the first ship as my favorite. I like the use of the multiple cannons (more like a real ship), and also the row boat hoisted up along side the boat. I remember doing the same with a Playmobil Pirate ship when I was a "young swahbuckler".

Descriptions Ghost Ship Helmsman: He is the helmsman of my ghost ship no one knows the names of the the crew or the ship. If you were unlucky enough to glimps this sight, you wouldn't likely live to speak of it. The most frightening aspect of the helmsman is that he has no eyes to navigate his cursed ship. Halloween Amazon: She's a kind of dungeon keeper and as you can see trespasser are decapitated, she won't let nobody cross the door. Look at her big .... axe, isn't it scary? Skeletal Centaur: For many years, there was a house atop a huge hill, in which it overlooked a tiny town. All the towns folk knew the owner rode a horse, but no one really ever saw him doing so. When this mans house burn't down, it was thought he perished in the fire. However, there are still some townsfolk who believe to hear a man riding a horse sometime through the night. That man has come back as the Skeleton Centaur...did he ever really ride a horse...or was he part of it? Steve Ghastly: "It was 1623 when Steve Ghastly was born. He lived a long miserable life. Unfortunate events piled upon more unfortunate events. Steve had only one friend. But only a year into their friendship, did Steve's friend betray him and leave with his fortunes, the only other thing he had to his name. He comitted suicide days after the betrayal. He had left himself a little money for a grave at the cemetary. A few months later, witches dug him up and put a spell on his body that, on every Halloween night, he would come to life to take revenge on those who betrayed him. Steve was cursed for eternity to walk with the living every year on Halloween night. So on every Haloween night, Steve walkes with the living, taking revenge on people for the betrayal and suffering his friend had given him." Vampire Skeleton: This is the Vampire Skeleton. He is the most evil of the evil! (Notice the fire.) He takes souls like any other vampire, by biting the victim. You do not want to get him angry! Thanks for the help! The Dismemberer: The Dismemberer, is an angry guy that is infected with leprosy (you can see the small part of his body which is free of cloth, his face, you can already see the meat there, skin has gone nearly complete and he doesn't have much longer to live. He didn't have either a happy life or a happy childhood and got beaten buy his dad very often. His dad has been a bigwig of a pharmer concern and is very rich. Now he waits for all the big business man to dismember them, cause hes so angry at them. (he thinks everyone of these is just like as his dad) And when hes close to dead, hes going to go for his dad... The Drowned: THE CURSE OF SHIVERSDALE: some say that when the gold mines of Shiversdale were dug, hollow ground was broken, unleashing menacing spirits. the supernatural forces embodied the natural elements which released them. No object that occupied the land was safe from the haunting

I was searching EB for Ghost Ships and happen to stumble upon this MOC of the Black Pearl. Very nice. having the separate Pirate Forum I don't visit very often, I must have missed it. Very nice. I love the dark black sales and dark colors. I think this makes a most excellent Ghost Ship. If I had enough pirate pieces, I would try one myself.

Graynar: very creative to have mixed Adventurers with Castle. I think the King's Gatehouse is the best of your collection. Hey now! What's wrong with WW... >:-(

The WW theme era from the mid 90s with a strong influence from Lego's "hayday" in the early 80s.. You're not too far off Phez; you've got a keen critical eye.

I realize you posted this a while back Yoda, but your MOC is definately a nice way to tribute the life of Steve Irwin. Nice job and very tasteful.

The Lich Once a powerful sorcerer whose name has long been forgotten, the evil lich has remained alive for almost 200 years through the evil incantations he has conjured. His skin has decayed past recognition under his once ornate and opulent clothing. His life is spent in the depths of his tomb where he uses his magical scepter to conjure demons and unspeakable creatures to do his evil bidding. Do not dare invade the Lich's crypt, for your fate will be the same as the people whose bones and skulls litter his tomb. *skull*

You can always click my link to get a list of the Grave Stone Collection and see a single larger picture of any of the MOCs.

I think it has a spooky look - almost like a ghost ship. This was my set of spooky pics. Everyone has different opinions. You could have always voted for Other and named this set. Others may agree with you.

It's a combination of most favorite spooky set. You voted correctly. I don't think Black Monarch's Ghost is the most scary, but it is my favorite of the bunch for reasons mentioned above.

I wasn't planning on providing anymore images, unless you really want to see the MOC from different angles. Can't make everyone happy ;-)

Good question. Grave Stone is a continuation of the WW theme as opposed to 80s Legoland and City sets. The log walls are part of the WW theme.

I guess no one appreciates a a good Haunted House these days...

Nice fig Yoda. I don't think you're disadvantaged in the least. This is more about the fig vs. the background. I'm going to extend the constest a day or two to allow any one else to share their MOC.

I'm giving an extra day or two just so others might have a chance to share their figs.

Great choice. For $, value, and quality, I chose this set as my first. Lego doesn't make sets like this anymore. My 2nd choice is the Graveyard Duel, although I would not like this set for smaller children. It was very different for Lego to offer a set as dark as this. I do love it; however, for the design, some of the pieces, and figs. I esp. like the wagon.

What is EsperNet for those of us unfamilar with it?

I agree, even when I was going back through the messages, I noticed. No problem. ;-)
