I actually don't have access to the forms, so it wasn't that this time! I was guessing at what they were, thank you for clarifying! I've fixed it now.

List is up-to-date.

I did not realize until today that you had posted this in Rassilon, my city! Very cool! As this is the first property not built by myself in Rassilon, I would like to show my appreciation by gifting you with 5DBs. I'll fill out the necessary paperwork (webform) shortly! This just goes to show, good things happen to those who help Sinbad the Sailor! (Can't promise the same kind of gift to everyone, but I'll remember those who help me build up Rassilon!)

Added!

Unless your switching teams, there's no reason to "restart" with SoNE. You have 2 XP that you'll keep this way too. If you want to write a new character I would just 1) ignore the fact that you had a previous incarnation of your character, 2) say your character went through intense medical trauma and has come out a new man, or 3) someone was impersonating your character but now the real person is around. As for rank, everyone has to start at Stormtrooper or Pilot to begin with until they gain at least 10XP. That won't take long if you build a couple freebuilds and participate in the current contest. If you're really keen on a higher ranking character for story purposes, I'd try to find a way to write how your "officer" is going undercover to find out what the lower ranks are really acting like or something along those lines. So, the official rule is that your game name is the same as your Eurobricks name. So you would be Stormtrooper AgentKallus of Hydra. However, for in story purposes, there's nothing wrong with shortening it to Kallus or Hydra. I usually call my character "MKJoshA" the first time in my stories, and then shorten it to "Josh" for the rest. Lord Vladivus has done the same in shortening his to Vladivus for the story telling. But he introduced his character as "Lord Vladivus." I hope that helps!

Quite a few people are selling it on Bricklink from the US, so I assume it's out somewhere.

Please transfer 40 credits to EpsilonEta

Has anyone found the Pirate Plane Polybag (30421) in stores in the US yet?

No, this contest ended last year. But your welcome to post any EU builds in the main SW forum.

I had the same issue as I tried to prepare for this contest. Something close to Lothal is pretty accurate. But don't forget the pillar mesas! I think of the surface as being mostly farmlands to help feed the workers in the rings.

No limitations!

Flashbacks in freebuilds are totally allowed!

Did you mean Kuat?

That is a very good question! If you click on the tag "SoNE Contest" from the top of the contest thread, it'll pull the past contests for you in one spot. I'll try to link it for you, but don't know if it'll work. If it doesn't, just go to the contest and click on the tag.

Gorgeous!

Very nice, fast, small boat!

Special Announcement! The Player Index is up-to-date! Also, the next contest is up!

Senator Lycani, my old friend, it's been a long time since we served on Coruscant together. Thank you for agreeing to see me even though I know it is at great risk to yourself to be seen with a known rebel. There are some things worth risking much for, your friendship is one of them. Now, what can I do for you? As you may have heard, we recently came to acquire a super computer. We smuggled it onto the surface in a transport load of fertilizer. We need the help of some of your best people to crack it, and afterwards you can use the fertilizer as you see fit for your estate. As you know, all of our technicians work in the rings around our planet. That is good news for you because it means there are very few Imperials troops stationed planet-side. They consider the shipyards around the planet of greater value than the farms on it. Your people and the computer should be safe here. However, it also means to find the kind of help you need you'll have to venture up into the rings. I can give you the names of some people I would recommend, but you'll have to get past the Imperials on your own. Thank you, your help means more than I can say. Have you seen any suspicious activity? No, and we've been searching all day! The Rebels Can't be here. Can't we be done yet? I don't like this place and I'm pretty sure that scaremynok is looking at me! Uh-oh, it looks like the Empire knows we're here! I heard you might be able to help me with a special job. Perhaps, but let's not talk about it hear. Too many ears Building objectives: A small note in advance: this episode has no special rules. Each player can only submit one entry. That entry should depict your character trying to achieve one of the following objectives. All entries will be regarded as usual, independent of which category they follow. So choosing which category to build in can be done freely, without any tactical considerations. Just choose what is most interesting to you. If you are a Rebel... Your build should represent your character being involved in ...: Cracking the Super-computer Recruiting technicians from the rings Hiding on the planet's surface If you are an Imperial... Your build should represent your character being involved in ...: Searching the planet's surface for Rebels Searching the rings for Rebels Interogating any captured Rebels These are not exhaustive lists so something different that still fulfills the spirit of the contest is allowed. The Prizes: From the Core Rules: Your faction will receive points based on two factors: Points: The average number of points per builder. Builders: Two points for each builder. [*]These two totals are added to each other, and the faction with the higher total is the winner. [*]All the players on the winning faction will receive this tag to commemorate their victory. You can only have one of these tags or one of the Community Build tags at a time, but a log will be kept of all the tags you've earned in your profile in the Characters topic. [*]The player who receives the most total individual points, regardless of team, is guaranteed a spot among the next set of the blog's Showcased MOCs. (This member must still be able to provide a picture big enough and of suitable quality to be used in the Showcased banner.) [*]You will receive XP equal to the number of points you are awarded from the judges. [*]Thanks to the generosity of RoyalBrickCustoms (link), we will be able to give away some unique SoNE-themed cloth minifig accessories. The player with the most XP earned in this episode on every faction will receive a pack. Furthermore, there will also be a separate sponsor's choice award for the person RoyalBrickCustoms thinks has incorporated the theme best. (Details subject to change) The Rules: All rules in the Core Rules topic apply unless otherwise stated in this explanation. The Empire's goal and the Alliance's goal is to depict their character fulfilling one of the objectives. There are no restrictions on the size/form/content of the builds, as long as they follow the above described goals and represent the designated location. The Episode will run from Feb 29th to April 30th. As long as it is still April 30th somewhere in the world, you can still enter. Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified from the episode and will not be eligible to receive points or XP. Entries will be judged according to the Core Rules: Your build will be scored in two stages, to make it easier on the judges by lessening the number of builds that must be scored in greater detail: In the first stage, the judges will award a score from 1-10, with a '1' being "Minifig on a Plate", a '5' being "Your Average MOC" and a '10' being "Flawless Concept and Execution". In the second stage, the top five builds of each faction (so ten in total) from the first stage will be scored based on basic predetermined criteria: up to 10 points for the concept and appropriateness to the objective, up to 25 points for your execution of the build, and up to 5 points for your presentation of the entry. NEW RULE! If we don't have more than 10 players per team, we will skip the second round of judging. That means both teams need at least 10 players for the second round to happen. For builders who make it to the second stage, their second stage total is added to their first stage points, and that total is divided by two and a half. You can earn a maximum of 20 points in each episode. [*]The amount of points you earn is also the amount of XP your character earns. [*]This episode/contest is open to all players of Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka, even if they joined EB or signed up for the game after the episode has begun, with the exception of the Star Wars staff, who are not eligible to win XP or prizes; the EB admins and moderators, who are not eligible to win prizes but may earn XP; and the episode host, who is not eligible to win prizes but may earn XP. The SoNE staff can't partake in the betting. [*]All entries must be new creations, not posted anywhere else prior to being entered in the episode. You may be asked by a staff member to change your entry if it is too similar to an earlier creation. [*]All entries must be built from real LEGO or with Lego Digital Designer. No clone brands, no third-party custom parts. [*]All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Nar Eurbrikka subforum, the title prefixed by, "[soNE Ep. XI]". (For example, "[soNE Ep. XI] Cracking the Computer".) There's no need to state which one of the objectives you're following. [*]Post pictures no larger than 1000x720, as specified in the EB Member Guidelines. [*]You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited. [*]All entries are considered WIPs (Works In Progress) until the deadline passes. Until the deadline has passed, you are allowed to change and improve your MOC.

I love how much backstory you put into this! Your photography could use some tweaking, but your build is very nice! The SNOT sand is a great touch, and the figures look great. Keep up the good work!
