Wow im really impressed by year 06. Looks like their going back to the basics (probably ive said that before)! :smile: I just have to wonder why the nick license sets are less junioriized than the batman license or the KKIII line? :huh: maybe nick wanted them that way? And I personally dont care which grey they use, as long as it doesnt come in a junioriized set.

Didnt they already make the whole series like a prequil?

I think that was his point Besides, the whole idea of rating someones post, ESPECIALLY as "noob" seems rather offensive to me (just be glad the system wasn't around when you joined the Great Historical Lego War...) If there were to be another "war", I'd wait for phes to start it back up again, at least with a different set of rules. No personal offense though of course :happy: ok, the fact that im a noob on this forum, doesnt mean i wouldnt be good at marking other peoples posts. I am a member of 8 different forums! and have reached some of the highest levels, So I think I definately have more experience with these things than scarcastic you! If you dont want a 'noob' to mark your posts then ill make 200 posts over the course of the weekend, ok! I Also garuntee if this turns into a debate i will totaly own you. Hey and while your here, lets see your great idea to stop god-modding on such threads! Sneffy said, based on the responses you've had people arent interested in this kind of topic, he didnt say based on the lack of replies! NOW STOP SPAMMING AND GO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING YOU LIKE! AND THIS ISNT CALLED THE COMPLAIN ABOUT LEGO WARS TOPIC!!! No i was angry because you called me a noob. And im still angry because now your saying all my posts suck and ruinging this topic with your spam full of sarcastic smileys. Why dont you put some of that spam on the other war topics, eh! What is it that is making you despise me, specifically? Well your allowed to post opinions, but i think we can both say that that particullar post wasnt just an opinion.... Ive seen plenty of rude but popular posters on forums, and they all have one thing in common, they have high post counts!... Im not generally rude either, im just mad that your ruining this potentially great topic. I think my sig, avatar and ability to split quotes speaks for itself as far as being a noob is concered. All things you dont have... So dont call me a noob when you dont even have a sig... Oh people who posted pics of new sets or have given you high praise i imagine?..... lets see some of these posts that make you respect these people... all im saying is, if you dont like my idea and your not even going to explain why, then lets see you think of something better. well maybe i dont. But thats not to say i couldnt own you, seeing as i have won religious debates! Mind you, thats nearly impossible! I also won a debate on whether we should let little kids believe in santa, and i took the negative side! oh, you changed your opinion to avoid getting into an argument, good for you!!! :smile: . If you really wanted this topic to be sucessful, then you wouldnt be ruining it and trying to convince people it sucks by posting these comments, would you? And so i make my leave with my favorite emoticon :rolleyes: ps: starwars4j generally speaking i have nothing against you, your just not my favorite person right now...

snefroe that is very hipocritical of you, i know your were very active in the Historical lego war. I dont think there have been enough posts to derive the rash conclusion that nobody likes this topic and the first post suggested that legoman was interested in joining and needed an explanation. I dont think your the only one who hates these topics, just the only one who bothers whining about them. :biggrin:
-
well yes it is another war but all the others either arent god-mod foolproof or they have specific rules for everything and dont allow any creative freedom. I think this would be the next best RPG to follow after the great historical lego war, because its unique format. these are the other wars. Clash of the titans is more of an RTS based game and the Titanic bionicle war is purely about bionicle and the rule to prevent god modding is No god modding, which is to vague to logically enforce.

sure: I, the judge, (not a participant) mark your writing skills in three categories and the amount of battles you have validly won, without breaking a rule. I give you your points for the week and put them beside your names in the first post after you've been listed. The winner of the story could be a god mod but he wont win the game because he will have a lower writing score and will hence lose. Bad Lego noob posts: I become the all powerful god who can kill you all. lego noob had: creativity: 20 pts validity: 20 pts Coherence: 20 winnings: 21 i dock lego noob 5 points in each category for breaking rule two lego noob now has: creativity:15 pts validity: 15 pts coherence: 15 pts winnings: 18 pts but im not done yet i still have to evaluate his pathectic little post i give lego noob 0 points in creativity, 0 points in validity, 1 point in coherence, and 0 points in winnings lego noobs score: creativity:15 pts validity: 15 pts coherence: 16 pts winnings: 18pts Good Trapper42 posts: As a result of many battles with Ogre37 on the piracy coasts, my armies are few and hard to support. We can only hope reinforcements arrive soon or we make new alliances. Today ogre37 will arrive with a U.F.O avenger and i dont think we are prepared to fight one of his infernal space crafts, there is a very good chance i myself will die tommorow. All thats left is our train project and i am even starting to lose faith in that. well this a great post and trapper hasn't broken any rules. I like His reference to the train project and how hes losing faith in it, and generally it deserves a good mark trappers points were: creativity: 60 validity: 55 coherence: 60 winnings: 17 i give trapper 4 points in creativity, 5 points in validity, 5 points in coherence and since there was no battle sequence, trapper doesnt get a winning. trappers points are now: creativity:64 validity: 60 coherence: 65 winnings: 17 since creativity, validity and coherence are worth a greater percentage, lego noob would have one of the lowest rankings maybe last or second last. Hope that clears everything up for you. oh and ps: rules 9 and 10 are jokes,ill get rid of them though

please note this is a clone of the collaborative story but the old title didnt quite convey the message. Please dont close this!!!!!!!!!! The Collaborative War!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With the recent death of The great historical lego war, which everyone has agreed is not solely my fault. I made it my number one priority to invent the perfect role-play. I took previous examples of god-mods and topics of this nature and identified the key problems. But overall I found the main problem was that wars are too engaging and result in some impulse posts, which seem to lack substance. This is because people want to win, when really role-playing should be more about the underlying story. Yes i know other topics have been made to fix this, but they seem to have very restrictive rules, which allow for very little creative freedom. So what is the great solution, The COLLABORATIVE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rules and organization: You may use any one theme you want fiction or non fiction Objective: The objective of the collaborative story isn't just to win in the story, but to win in the book as well. What I mean is your win is determined mainly by how valid, creative and coherent your posts are. The key is shown below. Creativity=45% Validity= 35% Coherence=10% Winnings=10% Now I'll bet your thinking holy crap this is just like school, but don't threat. There aren't any due dates and you don't get a lecture if you don't win. Scoring system: I, the judge (not a participant in the war), will read the posts at least once a week. After reading the weeks posts i will give each participant a mark in the different categories. If i give you a bad mark, please dont take offense, ill try to be as fair as possible, but i can't lie or show favoritism to a particular player. Your names will be listed in this post as you join up and your points modified as i mark your posts. Rules: I would like this to be an all lego war, so occasionally make an obvious reference to lego. for example: Haha The blue bricks have arrived now i can build my galleons. Rule1: No invincibility Rule2: No Omniscience or Omnipotence of any kind Rule3: You cannot continuously escape from dire situation without loosing anything of value. Rule4: You cannot completely kill an opponent all at once Rule5: strong items and abilities must come at some great expense to you Rule6: no indepletable resources Rule5: Every 2 posts count as a day and events must take about as many days as they do in real life Rule6: All off topic posts must be in orange print! Rule7: notify me if you are temporarily, or completely leaving the thread. rule8: you can only edit punctuation in posts. You cannot rephrase or change old posts. rule9: there is no ninth rule rule10: there are only 8 real rules Breaking anyone of these rules (even 9 or 10) will dock you 20 marks (5 in each category) Enjoy the game

thoughts: 1.hmm, i wonder if i should buy milk today, its probably rotten by now. 2. oh, im such an idiot, i forgot to buy gasoline, oh wait im not at legal driving age yet 3. those dam chuck norris jokes are stuck in my head. compliments: nice eaters! criticizms:1. i personally beleive global warming is a big issue and must be dealt with before our climate has changed beyond recognition. Anyone who disagrees with this, couldnt care about their own or anybody elses wellbeing. 2.Personally i disagree with this point and must say your arguments are biased 3.you idiot, you forgot to change the spark plugs, oh wait, i dont own a car.... 4.imbicile, you let the milk go sour!!!!!!!!!! -
Well i went to darkness falls game and its awsome, but its more like an RTS game so i made an RPG thats completely foolproof. You win by earning points for your writing skills and creativity hence even if you win the story you might lose to the least powerful players. God-mod no more
-
thanks alot for letting me have the time crisers too. It also just so happens, I made a Time Twisters moc recently, its called the towering time tank. It looks like A building with a motorcycle flying out of the roof and a row boat coming out of the front. I dont have a brickshelf folder yet so it might be awhile before i post it. and while yor at it i think i get the time twisters specail ability but could you perhaps explain it a bit more indepth, just so i know.
-
You said That no player can have more than two themes. in another part of that post you said that small themes do not get second lines. What does that mean? does it mean another line doesnt automatically come with small themes and you can only have two themes like everybody else? if thats the case then sign me up for ninjas too :smile:
-
i definately want to join now that you cleared things up. The specail abilities are awsome, thanks for adding those!! And my MOC's idea. ps: i only put my topic here because this is a little more like a RTS game and mine is more of an RPG. By the way what do you think of my solution to god modding?
-
my hero unit would be a time twister, you know the guys with the police hatsand eppaulettes. I imagine that i would be at a great disadvantage with only three sets though,wouldnt I? im not competing, but for those of you who want a more creative role playing game see: collaborative War

kahgarak, no offense but thankyou Proffeser Obvious. I cant wait, since im only fourteen and my birthdays not till summer i might have to get the Sponge Bob sets as early B-day presents, and i cant stop laughing at the sponge bob minifig :lol:

Awsome find. Looks to me lego is returning to its routes, i mean look at all those beautiful plates, we havent seen a roof made out of plates since the wild west theme,or am i wrong. Anyway those sets look great and i'll be sure to buy all of them if i get a chance. I think this strategy of making few non-junioriized sets insteadof many junioriized sets is a great idea. keep on going lego, good job!!!!!
-
ok thats fine, i thought i would just make that suggestion. But what about the specail abilities thing and the set number compensation idea? Also the time cruisers and twisters are rivals but are the only time travel themes and not many people like them, can i perhaps swipe both? ill only have 7 sets, which isn't alot.
-
well if i may make a few suggestions. 1. certain themes have alot more sets than others so it might not be completely fair to some people who join later and get lesser themes. I would reccomend the ability to use fictional models for a fixed and large brick cost, say 700 bricks. or certain people using themes with 4 or less sets could maybe adopt two small themes. 2. certain themes have obvious special abilities. Rock raiders can obviously dig and mine, aqua and hydro-nauts can dive, time cruisers/twisters can time travel, various space themes are examplary at exploring, adventurers are also great at archeology and exploring and ninjas are like spys and could steal bricks without having to kill armies of men. I feel we need to exploit these abilities for a more diverse and interesting game. 3. obviously space themes are very powerful and could easily squash the pirates, vikings and other historic themes like bugs, so it might be most fair to allow people to pick one futristic theme and one historic theme. just some ideas you know what theme i want to call obviously, but there are so few sets in that theme, so i will temporarily call it till i get feedback on my rule mods. And i am entrely against god modding and in the great historical lego war i played the time twisters aswell and made my situation very dire, i couldnt time travel, had a miniscule army and relied on other nations for support. anyway if i get that theme, my simple unit would be a ghost with a wand and suitcase. also what would a fortress be for me?? the twisted time train is kind of both a shelter and a vehicle, maybe if you dont consider my rule changes that could be an advantage for me. i really love this. Great Idea and kudos to you Darkness Falls. I feel the rules are a little strange and hence the thread might be alot shorter than the great historical lego war but im sure it will be great fun anyway.

I love the penguins sub, its my favorite part of the whole set. I think that train penguin kidnapped the kids with, when all the parents were at the social, would have been a great set for this line.
-
i remeber seeing that a while ago and i was so angry wheni found out they werent real. I mean look at the fortress, it has intricate roof decorations nice building in the back and a giant!!! And look at the real one it doesnt have a roof at all!

You see it was not just Johns fault. Every body should quit pointing fingers at Jhon and me. I was not somebody who was 2 different people. I only went with the rules. Every body let it go out of hand at the end. well i would say your tactics were kind of unfair but i mean if the others had been creative enough they could have countered yor dragon attacks right from the start. Also you were too involved in conquest, when really nobody wants anybody to win the war completely. Since we both have been shunned, what do you say we ally with eachother if were allowed to rejoin under certain circumstances
