Octan Corporation The glorious Octan corporation has been in existence for as long as Legokind has needed power. Everything from oil to batteries, through to giant space-station powering supra-photonic-awesomnium generators, Octan has you covered. Octan's goal has always been the same: expand it's business everywhere and in every way to ensure it's domination over the consumers! Thanks to hundreds of billions of dollars (and probably more than a few lives), Lord Business has managed to evade aging since cars were 4-wide, and is still managing the whole company with his grasp of steel and pushing his employees to their limits... and sometimes beyond. Lord Business is all about growth, growth, growth, until only Octan remains. In the end, he seeks to outcompete, absorb, or demolish anyone or anything that stands in his way. Octan's administration board Prospection mission Octan corporation is specialized on extraction and harvesting of natural resources. It's factories produce litteraly everything, and have mastered to highest point the planned obsolescence technology. Octan is also famous for its mastery of spaceship building. Engineers created all sort of ships, from the supersized harvester to small escort ships, to explore the depths of space and extract the maximum resource they can. Farmolis - "Large flat grassy plains and forests, broken up by numerous small oceans." As usual Octan plays it reasonable save. After a few months of exploration, they discovered a planet, Farmolis, which was suitable for settlement. A quiet environment, outstretched fields of waving long grasses and easy accessible streams of liquid Awesomnium. At a junction of two veins flowing together, they build a large mining factory surrounded by small compounds. Supply ships brought building materials and before the years end the first facility was finished. The returning supply ships were filled with Awesomnium. The Octan board saw profits rise and approved the mission to expand. A large selection of profit seekers were send out to the home planet and maximize the Octan presence to ensure their position in the market. Farmolis is similar to what our home used to look like. Wide grasslands, surrounded by large wood-like supplies with deep oceans dividing the continents. No mountains interupting the wide spread fields. On the surface small streams of Awesomnium draw purple lines between the fields. The oxygen level of this planet is reasonable and the weather seems to feed the environment well. Octan did a good job finding a planet closest to home conditions. It doesn’t really matter where they settle, every spot is spot on and close to rich supplies. Corporation informations Primary color: White Secondary colors: Red and Green Default avatars Pilot Scientist Driver A word from Octan Corporation CEO ATTENTION NEW RECRUITS: We're glad to see your interest in AG and Octan, in particular. Because of the large number of posts to the various threads and the evolution of the game over time, we wanted to post a general welcome and introduction to Octan. Generally, this forum is a great place to post interesting landscape builds of any type of terrain that you want. Octan builders worked very hard from day one to procure as much territory on the AG Map that it could so that our builders would have the best options for building. As of Week 8, we have the ability to control, defend, and build on 27 unique planets, all of which are ready for you to define, embellish, and develop using your own techniques, story, and characters. It is also a great place to exhibit your spaceships, starfighters, cargo ships, mechs, walkers, or any kind of sci-fi vehicle you can dream up. Octan accent colors are white, red, and green, but not everything you build has to be for the corporation (there are aliens, pirates, and competing corporations too). Light blue grey is also a great base for a vehicle that greebles and photographs very well against our colors. Do not feel overwhelmed by the prospects of having to post a weekly build. As Octan transitions from a exploration/domination phase into a development plan, we are going to be much less focused on coordinated domination of specific planets, and more focused on individual development and a more relaxed pace of building. Basically, we'd love for you to build with us whether you post one build, a build every week, or a build whenever the heck you feel like it. In Octan, You define your story, You choose your planets, You choose what to build, and You choose when to build (No Exceptions). We are just beginning to explore what we can do with this little universe. Our builders are active and ready to help you develop your ideas, introduce new building techniques, critique works-in-progress, and help with photography and photo editing. Our goal is to develop great builders, encourage rich stories and interesting builds, and have fun. PM Dannylonglegs, Wicknole, myself, or any of our active builders for any questions or concerns you might have. We're looking forward to building with you. - Pilot John Hannibal (goatman461)

Is that the famous Dark Red Baron?

BEAVeR can still participate in episodes, like I do! We just can't be rewarded with prizes for an EB contests (or SoNE episodes). In this case, the episode ended before BEAVeR was made a Reg, so no problem. If he was a Reg before the episode started, then he would still have win the ep, but Markus, as 2nd place, would have gotten the prize.

What we prepare is more like SoNE than GoH. Challenges will be less frequent than 1 per month. We'll have to take into account the other games on EB and plan challenges accordingly.

The results are here

*waves hand* These are the regulators you're looking for.

Because There was a tie for second place, so I decided to have one more winner

I'm sorry but you'll have to wait until yesterday...

Sorry, it was a misspelling. I meant the bright side

The right side...

Don't know the show, but what I know is that you shouldn't post pictures this large on EB.

The beast seems to have a terrible wound on it's back

Build. That's a rule that we never enforced, and I really doubt we will.

Could you please resize your pictures before posting, thanks.

There is no obligation to vote for both categories. I'll review all votes later today to check for non-valid votes.

Yep that's right

We are waiting for one or two more judges to score the 91 entries. It's jsut for the form, as it has already been decided that the Alliance would win every episodes

To me that's the reason I won't buy it...

That looks great! Of course you can! You can get one at Fan Weekend in Skærbæk, last week I'm not sure if there is another way to get the poster, maybe on black market

Spotted the dead green male minifigs that opened their visor

Some of your pictures are too big. Please resize them with a maximum width of 1024 pixels.

Good news, CopMike generously provided us prizes in a form of multiple batch of multithemed minifigs: The 3 best entries plus one randomly chosen entry from Category A will receive one set of minifigs. The 2 best entries plus one randomly chosen entry from Category B will receive one set of minifigs. One randomly chosen voter will receive one set of minifigs. Of course each participant or voter is eligible to receive only one set of minifigs.

I think you misunderstood the rules. This rule is here to prevent people from posting an Exo Suit inside a gigantic hangar or things like this. The contest is focused on the Exo Suit itself. This rule only says that entries must have the hability to put a minifig inside the Exo Suit. No one complained about the rules during the contest or after the deadline when I gave some more time for participant to check their digital entries. Therefore there will be no disqualification or handicap. On a side note, participant like kobalt1977 (I'm sure you know why I mention him) could have posted his entries with a minifigure, or the sword for his Wolf entry, and it would have been accepted. He made a choice and didn't complained about the rules. End of the discussion.

If you wanted some clarifications on the rules, you should have asked during the contest. There won't be any disqualification or handicap at this point of the contest.
