  1. Yes, I play this game a lot, although naturally it's not as big of a deal as say, a Mafia game. It's more of a small attraction on the side, but I do have quite a lot of fun with it. I am a little sad to see much less duelists than at first, but I think a some rethinking or at least some revitalizing would do the trick in (re)interesting more people. I'm fine with the dueling system, but now that Walter mentions it, I think that it would benefit from more focus on strategy. Right now there's very little to it, and mostly based on random guessing (which also makes it hard for new players to level up, since they'll be dueling more experienced members). Also, just throwing this out there, but if you happen to make a second version of the game I would be more than willing to help think it up (the new version) and even run another contest (I know you're very busy now). I agree, after I got Master within the first week, it got a little boring, especially since new players were wanting to face other new players for easy leveling-up. Oh, and I highly prefer Jedi Duel over any other theme. The SW Universe provides so many possibilities that creating a character was really fun. And there's not really another type of activity/ media that focuses on epic lightsaber duels like this, with more Jedi than just, say, the main character of a game or movie. In fact, I don't think I'd play if it weren't SW-themed. Here's a crazy thought: team battles.
  2. Well done - this has really turned out from a small WIP to a full-blown replication MOC. I've only been in the regular, American Target stores, but this looks great from what I can tell. I especially like the ceiling, door, and window details. Looking forward to more of these stores from you, lightningtiger, I've already seen your small gas station.
  3. Wow, amazing work, especially for a ten-year-old. Probably better than I could ever do. I especially like the iconic glass block doors/ windows and the tiled floor. It looks like he's got the color scheme down pat, too. Any chance of seeing him as a TFOL in a few years? Again, my compliments to your son. I'm just a little sad that the one in my area is closing...
  4. This is a neat little display, it may be worth something in the future if you happen to buy it somehow. And while we're on the subject, does anyone know if there's a diorama or collection of all of the official Hoth sets? I'm trying to assemble them all myself, but I would love to see what they all look like together. (Echo Base, BPs, Super BP w/ Taun Taun, Wampa Cave, new AT-AT).
  5. Oh cool! Well played, filip, it came close in the end. And thanks for adjudicating, pedro, the vivid descriptions are very interesting to read. Now I wonder who my opponent will be in the Final Confrontation?
  6. Woo! Thanks for the leeway, now I can submit my entry. I was still missing that darn witch (but at least I found the weightlifter). I'm guessing it won't matter if we do happen to find that last one after submitting our 15 windows, since we can only send one PM?
  7. Pedro, I just wanted to point out that I have Force Push, not Force Shield. Unless it was one of the things that changed a while back, wouldn't my Push break filip's Parry, causing him to lose one HP? Not that it matters for that duel now, but I wanted to be clear on any rule changes.
  8. Great vig, JD! I've only played these games once or twice, but I knew right away who the soldier with the beret was supposed to be, so nice representation. I also like the building facades in the background, and of course, Etzio should be free-running, or "parkour-ing".
  9. Hey Inky. I just wanted to let you know that I am following this topic closely, and that I may be interested in some of your items in the future (I've seen from your reviews that you have plenty of rare sets and parts). In the meantime, would you be willing to sell any of your Series 2 minifigures? I have nothing to trade for them, but I would be interested in buying one of each of whatever you have.
  10. Don't be too eager to die... Yes, I would like to play. It's been a while since I got to play more than one day in a mafia game (I died right away in Hogwarts Mafia), so I am hoping I can get that great experience again. I've played in five mafia games (Noir, MCII, Infection, Prohibition, Hogwarts), hosted one (with Ricecracker), and I'm on list to host another next year. I've also skimmed through a few of the older mafia games. Looking forward to this bloodbath.
  11. Here's a general hint: you can switch off images in your settings, and copy the image URL of the minifig image you're looking for in the first post. While opening topics, use the "find" feature on your browser (Ctrl+F for Windows) and paste the URL and press enter. I sometimes use this technique when opening dozens of tabs in search for these figs so my computer doesn't freeze up. (Hopefully this is legal).
  12. The whole creation is great, but what I like most are the PoP arch trees. The new color works better than I thought for a different bark color. Hilarious evolution map, too. And congrats on the Frontpage and Fellowship!
  13. So far I have every one except for the weightlifter and that pesky witch. The last few were pretty easy, though. I thought I had the weightlifter for sure, but I can't seem to find the topic I thought it would be in. I'll have to do some more research. And that witch is by far the hardest. I've searched high and low, and I still can't find any trace of it. I just wish the clue had specified what kind of topic (MOC, Review, Discussion, etc.) it is in. (I hope this chatter isn't problematic).
  14. Loves you too.

  15. Not for the moment. check back later. :P

  16. D'oh!! It finally hit me after searching for hours. It's funny, too, since the word "karate" was running through my head the entire time (you know, karate?). Well people who got will get it. I have every one now except for the witch. Man is this one tough. I've searched and searched and search, I wonder if I missed the image somehow?

    Hmm, did not see that this has been revived. I just took my first look in about a year at this topic while scanning the index. Indeed, this project is long dead, but seeing these pictures again makes me want to continue. It probably won't happen for a while, but I will definitely consider picking this back up. It was very fun.
  18. Hmm, I'm thinking I know where it is but I just can't seem to find it. I thought for sure it would be there...
  19. Well decals, like Sieggy said, are for custom minifigures. Badges probably refer to the Reviewers Academy badges: Instructor Student Or tags, which are special images that you get below your profile in each post you make. Badges are tags. For more information, you can visit this thread. EDIT: Oh, I see your questions have already been answered in that other thread...
  20. To the comments below: Indeed :laugh:

  21. Really, it's no problem, Fangy. Take your time, I'm sure the extra time you've been given will make the game all the better. Ah, I see. Well that works, though It'll be interesting to see how Zepher can throw all this together so quickly. I know. I'm saying that Zepher's name wasn't even on the list a few days ago. Looking forward to this new idea, Zepher.
  22. Wow, spectacular! Ever since I saw the movie a few weeks ago, I've wanted to make a MOC from it. Maybe I will soon, this is certainly inspiring. Now if only you could somehow replicate the thousands of objects floating in midair... I like how you slowly scaled down as the distance between the camera lens and the back of the MOC increases. First regular scale, then a sort of "midi" scale, and then finally mini. Well done.
  23. Where'd that come from? Last time I checked, it was Fangy next on the list, and Zepher wasn't even on the list. I want my money back! No, of course it doesn't matter, but I am curious about how this happened.
  24. What!?! The ladies have their own forum? I might consider getting a sex change...
  25. Sorry to hear this, you will be missed around the boards. Well good luck with whatever it is that you are now occupied with.
