[SoNE Episode VI] Junkyard Dogs

[Dapper-D2]

As I entered the junkyard on Ord Mantell looking for Boba Fett...I quickly realized I had made a grave mistake...I forgot about the junkyard DOG!

Hi Dapper, did you check if that size base layout is allowed? Not sure if it's strict 16x16 max or if alternate layouts are ok.

[Dapper-D2]

I did not check, I just assumed that it was okay. Hopefully MKJoshA can verify before the deadline?

[MKJoshA]

I will have an answer for you as soon as possible.

This entry doesn't remind me of a junkyard nor Ord Mantell, assuming that's the planet you went with. And it's not on the 16x16 base that was applied in the rules.

It has been decided that this entry does not meet the qualifications. You need to keep it no longer than 16 studs on any side. Hopefully you can modify this entry before the deadline so that it can still count.

[Dapper-D2]

TCO. Thanks MKJoshA!

[MKJoshA]

Good job keeping the same feel to your build. It still doesn't look very Star Wars-y but it at least gets another entry for the Rebels.

Seriously if you are counting this as an entry it is ridiculous... it has nothing to do with the task and there isn't any effort in it.

ok, I can't hold my tongue on this one, and I hope I'm not out of line saying this build feels a bit insulting. the build has some neat features (the cow head was clever) and I get that time is running out and both sides are pushing to get troop counts but I see nothing here except your sigfig that makes me think this is in star wars or even any scifi world. I can except low quality builds and rushed even unfinished ones, but I just don't see how this one has anything to do with the episode.

I've updated picture with new design. I hope it's more Star Wars'y? Go Rebels!

[Aland1916]

It looks great, a lot more detailed with nice sci-fi bits!

[Yzalirk]

It's great that you changed the base but it still just doesn't like very Star Wars-like in my honest opinion.

[MKJoshA]

Due to the fact that this build has drastically changed from when it was first entered to now as well as it not really falling within the Rebel factions goals we have decided to disqualify this entry. I'm sorry Dapper-D2. I appreciate all the work you've made in changing this build, but for this contest we are going to have to say "no go."

[Dapper-D2]

How is changing the build a problem? I thought all entries were considered WIP until the deadline. Also I'm at the junkyard looking for Boba Fett, which is the goal right?

I think the new entry is very good!

Nice technique and details BUT for me it doesnt look like Star Wars - Sorry!

The rules below are the reason we've decided to disqualify this entry:

The Rules:

3

. The

Alliance's goal

is to depict a scene showing their troops trying to track down Boba Fett and finding out that he has already moved on to a different planet.

15

. 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.

However,

due to the time sensitivity of this contest your entry will be disqualified if the judges deem that you have abused this rule. Improving your build will be allow, entering a “minifig-on-a-plate” to have the most troops on a planet and then improving your entry later to earn more XP will not be tolerated.

I'm glad you're a part of SoNE and I hope to see more builds from you in the future! This disqualification was not personal and you were not the only person disqualified. Keep up the good building and I'll hope to see some freebuilds in the coming weeks!

[LegoFjotten]

I agree that the entry is missing some Star Wars feel (which surely would have had a big impact on the score had it not been disqualified).

The disqualification however, I think was pretty harsh since the update of the build was (at least to me) clearly a response to the criticism and not an attempt to cheat - which I am 100% certain that Dapper-D2 did not attempt to do.

Edit: MKJoshA's response was posted while I typed this, so I just want to add that I respect the jury's decision even though I don't agree with it - I am not looking to prolong the discussion.

I'm not going anywhere. I do this for fun and relaxation. I'm not going to argue the point anymore, because I don't feel like it will change anyone's minds. I will try and have more inspired builds next time and admit that I struggled for ideas on this episode more so than on the others especially in regards to the execution into Lego form. Keep up the great work! I know it is no easy task for you and the other Mods.
