Really cool ruins, some impressive arches and I like the hint of color the torches provide! The transition from light to dark grey is also spot on. And the vines look great too!

Nothing yet here either, though I did get a bunch of pieces for the roof of my next (planned) large GoH MOC a while back!

No kidding! However, I'd try to make the ISD into a castle if someone would gift it to me.

Great idea to use corner tiles for the flooring in the first build! The gaps give it quite a nice texture. The sideways diamonds help with the dwarven look and the axes stuck in the hay are a really nice touch! Lots of details to point out in the second one too - angled palisade, the snow on top of the tent, and the icicle horns to pick out a few!

The use of ordinary blue gives these MOCs a great old-fashioned vibe, as do the other large pre-fab pieces like the tree and wall! Really good job with the leaf canopy over the tree house and in both builds the flex tube trees work well!

Great little vig, I like the unusual layout and the slanted tree leaves! Nice inclusion of the owl, blends in really well!

Really like the creative shapes and colors of this MOC, particularly the flower petal shaped balcony and the round doorways underneath! So many purple leaves too... but the golden pathway is probably my favorite part!

I really like that tan roof! Nice wedge plate texture and the brown rafters coming out of the top. Great way to do corn too!

Really nice harvest field, I love the two bushes attached together! The woodcutting section of the build also looks super cool, and nice slant on the leaves of the trees, especially the green one!

Yay, glad it arrived!

Very nice middle eastern themed build Bregir, I like the lower level for the food stand and the blue door/curtains look great!

Oh sweet, I thought the old pirate theme was gone forever but there it is! Yay!

Okay. I'll forget my English prejudices as to the difference between logo and banner. Hope I can come up with something worthy of the game!

I kind of agree with Khorne that it would be nice to have a separate category for the logo proper, if a logo is desired (the terms logo and banner seem to have been used interchangeably so I admit to being a little confused). To make my meaning clear, the current banner has the EB logo, a 2x2 blue brick surrounded by stars, on it, and then the actual banner which has lots of weird stuff like honeybees and rabbits dressed in old peoples' vests. Of course entrants could try to design both a logo and a banner, but there's no particular reason why the person who designs the best logo would also design the best banner (a logo is more abstract and needs more photoshop skill, whereas the banner needs someone with good photography and building skills), so by dividing it up, we might get a better end result. As Khorne said, some of us who feel competent to design a LEGO banner would hesitate to tackle a logo, speaking for myself here.

I really like the use of those wall-paper bricks! The floor design is neat too, a little gappy from the higher angles but looks very nice from the ordinary point of view!

Really nice perspective on the first shots!

Looks like a muddy prison! Don't think I had seen brown used for that before, it works very well!

This is a really nice little build, great use of the eagle and the vegetation colors look so good I can almost smell the outdoors!

Really good palm tree on this build and I'm impressed by how well you used yellowed bricks! Looks great!

Cool idea for a plantation! Good work on the house, especially your choice of colors with the dark orange section and the dark red roof.

Very nice series of vigs! I really like the blue wall in the interior, great bright color! The mob scene also stands out.

It's 13 LEGO pieces so they'd all have to break in half and one into three. Thanks to both you and @Capt Wolf!

I mentioned the macaroni tile roof on Flickr but I didn't say how much I liked the fade from grey to dark tan tiles! Not something I would have thought of doing but it looks really good! The foil on top of the tower and the wands for the windows are great too and those birds are so cool, I need to get my hands on a couple!

Yes... no... I don't know... the endless debate... I want to see if I'm going to continue with a series first. Thanks though! Sudden inspiration because when I saw the latest account summary I was horrified to see that I had been taxed but half-way through writing I remembered that we had proposed it and voted on it a few months ago.

[This is Chapter I of Captain Argentum's Vignette Adventures. Continue to Chapter II?] Early this morning the mail was delivered to the various members of the Colonial Council as they sat in their moldering clothes on their rickety seats while the building slowly crumbled to dust around them. The mailman brought three letters to the MCTC delegation desk. All three were for Captain Argentum. The first one was from his fiancee. He rubbed his eyes when he saw the address and looked at the calendar. Horrified to see how long he'd been wasting away in the council house tomb he shuddered and muttered, "I must leave this place! I must seek my fortune elsewhere! The high seas for me! O my beloved, I am coming!" He sprang briefly to his feet, but looking around on the listless counselors, hearing the creak of their necks as they glanced in his direction, he sobered. "Duty calls," he sighed. "'I must love honor more...'" He resumed his seat, quietly read the letter--there was a lot in it about a Corry officer, which made him sigh again--and then turned the other two letters over. One was from King Fernando. Now that he was a member of the Colonial Council, Captain Argentum knew that to correspond with the King was little less than treason. Besides, all he ever said was please send more nightcaps and lobsters. He held the letter to the tiny bit of candle left on the desk and burnt it. The last letter was his bank statement. He read carelessly at first, not expecting anything more than the usual ever augmenting pile of shiny gold doubloons. Suddenly Captain Argentum jumped up, knocking over his chair which splintered in twenty six and one half pieces as it hit the ground. He roared in horror and agony, stomping his feet until the debris falling off the ceiling made him cough. "Impossible! Ninety one DBs! Shiver me timbers--I don't believe it!" "What is it, Captain?" Esterhazy asked. "Has your washerwoman overcharged you?" "Worse! Worse and worse a thousand times! I've been taxed!" "A flat 1% on all Eslandian accounts, levied every turn..." Esterhazy droned, recalling his proposal. "Horror of horrors! Is our free nation to be thus desecrated?!" "Why you voted for it yourself, my good Captain." Captain Argentum rushed over to the register of votes in disbelief but there was his name, sure enough. He cried out in fury. "'Tis like a cowardly landlubber to trap a man in this pit of decrepitude until his moral rectitude is turned into turpitude!" he bellowed. "I refuse, I retire, I throw my commission in your face! I go to seek my fortune! I warn you all to beware! There is no fury like that of a Sea Captain taxed!" He stomped out of the room. "Do you think he'll be coming back?" asked the Admius Legistrad. "I doubt it," Esterhazy replied. Guilder nodded. "'Tis just as well; it would be hard to repair that chair. There was a line changed the next day in the roll call: Edward Argentum. Absent.
