Flipz

This sounds an awful lot like ReBrick, only run by some kind of bot that would search through and index the MOCs from the rest of the Internet automatically. The last part would be very hard to do, and honestly I don't think it'd be that useful. As great as MOCs are, unless it's something spectacular there's not a WHOLE lot of reason to dig back more than a year or two or three in your search; odds are, someone's already done something similar to the MOC you're looking for, and has likely improved upon the original design a little, too. The most valuable part about old MOCs--the thought process behind using different techniques and such, especially when the builder had to figure out a custom-built solution to a problem that was solved with the release of a new brick--would tend to be lost in a YouTube/ReBrick-esque format. I love the old MOCs I stumble across here, because often there is dicsussion about technique and design style and process; the forum setup allows for and encourages such discussion, while the format you describe would focus on the "latest and greatest." That's not a bad thing, but it makes the usefulness of cataloguing hundreds of thousands of old MOCs minimal.

Hey, my Minecraft name is _Flipz_, I'd like to be able to come in and wander around. Is the server running the beta version of Bukkit for 1.0, are you running vanilla Minecraft 1.0, or are you still on Beta 1.8? I'm running 1.0 and forgot to backup my 1.8 so if you're still waiting for Bukkit it may be a while before i can play.

"Spast!" Arthur calls out to Isabella, "Load the catapult with small stones and attack Scout A! Hurry!" Arthur thwacks finnegan upside the head. "Come ON, Finnegan, I need orders from Althior. After this Round, do I keep manning the catapult or should I attack the lead scout with my Ice magic??" He then helps Isabella with the catapult again.

Whoa...hey, if you see a casting call, pass me the info!

The apostrophe gets rejected by the Lego Universe chat filter, so I've learned to leave it out. You're lucky I have the presence of mind to actually type numbers instead of 'too' 'tree' 'for' 'ive' 'sicks'...!

Because he actually loaned it to me, so when I hand over the gold I can include extra to buy it off him? And I refused because I thought it would cost you Ether. Doh.

I think the error came from trying to read about it in Bricksandparts' sig, the line breaks aren't working on his little "inventory" tab. Yeah, I'm definitely going to buy that off of him, who needs a cleric when you've got a staff like that?! ...waitaminute, K-nut, why didn't you hit me with that before the battle started?!

Hey, Nealybealy! good to see you here! I know you've talked about Heroica several times in LU, be sure to check out the RPG, it's over in "Mafia, RPGs, and Wargames"!

If you don't want it, Bricks, I'll take it off your hands (assuming we get gold from this Quest; if our teamwork continues at this level, though, we'd be more likely to gain gold by betting on a TPK ). While we're on the subject, exactly how is the Healing Staff supposed to work? I read it as healing people at the cost of 5 Ether, but when someone used it in a Quest they just hit themselves with it and it healed them equivalent to the strength of their hit? Which way is right? (If it's the latter, then I'm TOTALLY buying it outright if I can get enough Gold.)

Here is the actual text from LEGO Universe. Page 8 is where the actual LU part of the story picks up: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Page 10 Through the missions, you find out that the Skeletons are mining Maelstrom from Crux Prime (part of the exploded Planet Crux) to forge into weapons and armor that will be more resistant to Spinjitsu. Players spend a lot of time and energy wrecking the place, but it is too late; the Skeletons have equipped themselves with Maelstrom-infused weapons and armor, and are attacking the new, larger Ninjago Monastery world. (I'll summarize and post that story later.)

...I suddenly see why this site does not have the whole "a new reply has been posted, do you wish to review your message?" warning when trying to post. Also, I'm kinda glad I didn't sign up for this one...my innuendo ability is fail, so my IC characterization would be as well.

Eh, the Series 1 and 2 not being represented IS disappointing...however, seeing as the Lego Imagination Centers have been mixing the S1 and S2 torsos, legs, and faces (and occasionally headgear) into their buld-a-minifig bins, I've managed to get most of what I want, and I can buy the missing pieces off BrickLink if I really need them.

Ooh, that face with that hair is PERFECT for Samus! Now make a Zero Suit version.

Holy cow camel, you guys post fast! In the time it took me to read a page, you manage to post another whole page of posts!!!

Arthur removes the large stone and puts the nails (but NOT the goblet) into the catapult, still aimed at the same target.

Arthur feels a sudden rush...someone is channeling Ether. "D'arvit..." He quickly scoops out most of the small stones and replaces them with a large stone, still aimed at Scout A. "We can't wear them down one point at a time, the fire is a critical part of that." Once again he wonders if the nails he had scooped into his goblet would do any more damage than small stones, and what kind of damage a large stone would do.

That. Would. Be. Epic. I don't know if it would work as a general issue set, but maybe as a VIP-exclusive? It seems Lego might have more leeway that way...

"D'arvit! Looks like Finnegan's going to be no use for advice. Alright, Isabella, let's go with another round of small stones on Scout A, between the stones and the fire we can wear these guys down so the others can take them out." Arthur runs up to Finnegan and encases the duck in ice. "Listen up! Tell Althior I'll handle the fire on the round when it would otherwise damage the fort, so he should save his Ether." Arthur suddenly remembers the cup full of nails he scooped into his goblet. While he readies the catapult, he wonders if it would make good ammunition, and if it would be any more damaging than the small stones he has been using.

Arthur spots Finnegan...apparently playing with a rubber duck. " I don't even want to know. Listen, if Isabella agrees with me, we're going to Attack Scout A again. Ask Althior if we should use a large stone or if we should use small stones again."

I KNEW the dirty Hinckwells were up to something!

OOC: Shouldn't Isabella and Arthur be listed together in the order, at least while we're using the catapult? (Doc, for this round, can we assume that Isabella moves up to Arthur's spot in the battle order?)

I, personally think, that this year's "Green Ninja" isn't THE Green Ninja of the prophecy, but rather will be self-appointed (like Samurai X). I mean, this is Greg Farshtey we're dealing with here; he is the veritable KING of "true...from a certain point of view."

Arthur (and Isabella) attack the Brobric Scout A from the back row (unless it only works on the front row) using the catapult loaded with small stones.

OOC: How do I use the catapult?
