    Sometimes I wake up rubbing the tree next to me.
  2. Hinckley
    Well, as a tree, my leaves and limbs fall off all the time. Wind tears at me, squirrels live in me, beetles bore in me, kids climb me and every Autumn I freeze almost completely to death and then return to life in Spring. Yeah, life's a bitch and then you die...at 400 years old.

    Or any megablocks who can google it.

    The would indicate that I thought Oak Syrup was a silly thing to suggest, but sure, I'll answer this seriously. Tapping a tree for syrup doesn't kill it.
  5. Hinckley
    True. Everyone knows Oak Syrup tastes best.

    Wait, I don't remember saying this. Oh wait, I didn't. You did. I'm not you, I'm me! I can't tell you apart from me.

    Yay!!!!! Mafia! I haven't played in ages!

    Yay, it's started! I'm so happy the Rush song has been referenced already as I'm not sure I could hold my tongue any longer. That song has been stuck in my head since sign-ups! Oh and die, vile Maples, die. Lip service, lip service, day one filller blah blah blah...

    What??? Never! What terrible Mafia etiquette. Totally agreed. There's no excuse but laziness for not learning the character names. I'm fine with character first names. Why does everyone have to bitch about something we haven't even tried yet? Give it a chance. It may become easy, assuming everyone sticks to it. Which they will. But seriously, you people better use the character names.

    But I was planning on posting the entire song! I was just searching it out on Youtube. Where's the Day One thread? Let's go already!

    Simon Persimmon, reporting for duty. I'm a tree!
  14. Hinckley
    There is trouble in the forest, there is unrest with the trees. As the maples scream "Oppression!" and the oaks ignore their pleas. 1. I've played many. 2. Yes. 3. Yes, Why? How else would it be treated? Mafia is life.

    Voting is now closed. I am on vacation. Tally coming soon. Thanks again to all who entered. Amazing entries.

    Yes, as well as the MEModels train tracks customs, of course. Thank you for your patience. I really appreciate the way you've handled this discussion. I'm glad to have you as a member here. You have a great attitude. I'll let you know how the discussion goes and fully admit it's more of a gray area than we've dealt with on this subject before. Thanks.

    We are discussing it, like I said. Oyo produces full sport sets, all licensed by professional and college sports teams. The creation in this thread is basically a LEGO enhancement of an Oyo product. I can PM you when we've fully discussed it so you no longer have to hover over this topic. I will add, however, that Oyo also produces elements that replace LEGO's minifigures, which is the last remaining patent LEGO has for their products. Brickarms and Brickforge create accessories. I'm sure they'd like to create different legs and arms (and maybe they do now, it's been a long time since I looked at their products. I don't personally use them) but haven't (or hadn't last time I spoke with them) yet gone into creating replacement parts. Maybe they will when the patent expires, but I know these guys have a tremendous amount of respect for the LEGO group. I think replacing the figures to have professional sports team is, at best, a gray area. LEGO makes plenty of sports figures and while some may be difficult to acquire because they are in the Collectable Minifig line, they can be used instead of Oyo's re-invented figure. And also, licensing all the college and pro teams is evil.

    Excellent. Please let me know when it's complete and I'm happy to move it back to the Town forum. Banished? Did I delete it? Oyo competes with and copies LEGO. It's an imitation company. This is a site for LEGO fans. Brickarms and Brickforge are after-market third-party sellers whose product enhances the other brand. The custom element makers have worked from their basements to family-oriented, personal entrepreneurships. Oyo and other imitation brands are just corporate imitations of the entire brick system. You won't see Brickarms or Brickforge competing with LEGO. They are LEGO fans who have worked hard to enhance the hobby. As long as I have been here this has been our policy: Non-LEGO MOCs get moved to the Community forum (of course, never deleted, Tedbeard ). I will check in with the staff to see if this is still our policy. Personally, I think it's pretty easy to build that field out of existing LEGO parts. I think you are doing yourself a disservice to use an existing element (from another company) that takes away what can be a fun building challenge.

    As this forum is for LEGO builds, I've moved this creation to the Community forum. Thank you.

    VincentKessels usually goes and Copmike, Pandora, Rufus, Quarryman, I Scream Clone, Peppermint M, Norro have all made appearances. So, yeah...there's always the potential for more.
