Hinckley Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Yikes! I leave for 9 hours and look what happens to my contest! Accusations, odd claims, sadness, exclamation points from *yoda* !! All I have to say is "Awesome! X-D " My contest has passion and excitement! Hooray! So, this contest-and all contests, IMO-should be about fun and creativity, first and foremost. Rules are an annoying second. I don't think this contest in particular should be taken so seriously that we wouldn't let someone re-do their vig. Really, I've seen a couple people alter their entries in other contests and I have no problem with it happening in my contest, so everyone can change their entry until the contest deadline. If someone came up with a better idea, they could remove their entry and post a new one. That's fine by me. I encourage the creativity of it. Disqualifying someone leads to hurt feelings and bad blood between members. Why turn a fun contest into something like that? Build and have fun, I say. Dr. S and others, I hope you're never afraid to express your opinion at Eurobricks. True, some people react with a little more intensity than others, but all they could do is type at you. Typing doesn't hurt. No one can tell you your opinion is wrong and I'd like to think there's a nice open environment here for discussion. Great point Asuka: Right now we can, I guess, enjoy all these different entries up to our hearts content ( :-P )and everyone who has other views on what he thinks that a vig should look like could easily consider this when it comes to the act of voting.... :-) And I never thought I'd say this, but good point Piranha :-D : Wait........This contest had rules???? :-D I already said this was an unscientific thread/contest :-P :-D :-D :-D and hewki- Since I'm the only one who followed the rules, I think I need a second entry. *wacko* Quiet you. :-P In conclusion, :-P Phred, thank you for offering to re-do your entry. All other contestants, redo your entry if you please, that is allowed. But I think they're all really great the way they are and I hope to see more. Fun and creativity on! Controversy off! I love you all!! *wub* *wub* *wub* :-D I promise to make a very clear size rule next time. Quote
Capn Frank Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) I still had my question from today in this post :-$ I had gotten some pics online with a smaller landscape that i was thinking i should change. Here's a couple: pic1 pic2 P Edited November 6, 2007 by phred Quote

Here's a couple: pic1 pic2 P Sorry phred. There was so much other stuff to respond to. Yes, you can rebuild just the landscape, what you did in those two pictures is great. I think you can go wider but do it like others did where the base is clearly there. *yoda*'s is a great example-he has a symmetrical pattern spreading out from the vig even. And to use *yoda* as an example again-you can go even further out like his cool Kill Jar Jar contest entry. That would give plenty of room to run over skellies. :-D You could even build it out like a canyon! Whatever's clever! *sweet* *y* Quote
Piranha Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) Get ready for some serious quoting and emoticon overload :-D Yikes! I leave for 9 hours and look what happens to my contest! Accusations, odd claims, sadness, exclamation points from *yoda* !! All I have to say is "Awesome! X-D " My contest has passion and excitement! Hooray! Figures you say that*remembers Ice cube tray thread*, Passion?I wouldn't go that far :-P Great point Asuka:And I never thought I'd say this, but good point Piranha :-D I am flattered..... And this only happens once in a great while :-D and hewki- *wacko* Quiet you. :-P In conclusion, :-P Phred, thank you for offering to re-do your entry. All other contestants, redo your entry if you please, that is allowed. But I think they're all really great the way they are and I hope to see more. Thats the spirit!!!Rules OFF!! X-D Fun and creativity on!Controversy off! I love you all!! *wub* *wub* *wub* :-D I promise to make a very clear size rule next time. Thanks and we all feel the same way :-D So we're all in agreement that Troll Warrior is way cooler than orc?? *sweet* :-P :-D I mean great entries everyone!! Ahhh Forget it.............. :-D Piranha Edited November 6, 2007 by Piranha Quote
Batbrick Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 So we're all in agreement that Troll Warrior is way cooler than orc?? *sweet* :-P :-D _________ Which reminds me, when is the unveiling of that comic happening? I better get a good part |-/ What makes it really worse Piranha, you are starting to sway my opinion towards the Troll Warrior option! X-O Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
Siegfried Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I don't think this contest in particular should be taken so seriously that we wouldn't let someone re-do their vig. Really, I've seen a couple people alter their entries in other contests and I have no problem with it happening in my contest, so everyone can change their entry until the contest deadline. I've done this several times. :-$ Never helped me though. :-| Quote
TheFrisian Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Come on people, this contest is about having FUN! :-D And for those of you who are complaining about the fact that some entries are way bigger than the intended vig format, just remember that bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. If my vote would be influenced at all by the size of the entries, it would be in favor of those who kept within the specified size limits. But knowing myself I will probably cast my vote based purely on which entry shows the most creativity, both in concept and execution. And that will be hard enough in itself, since there are so many amazing entries! *y* Quote

When in doubt, look to the future! X-D Cap'n Sly Owl-that's sick. Therefore, I love it! It's really morbid and archaic. Nice... pig-very good. I like the K-3po with the hand truck! :-D Master Kenobi-excellent first vig-welcome to the competition (hey nice avatar-looks familiar...) I love dawrves as contract killers! *y* Great entries guys! This is really awesome so far. Keep the cool entries coming... Quote
iamded Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Cool entries pig and Master Kenobi! It's great to see a contest have so many participants! ~Peace Quote
Capn Frank Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Sorry phred. There was so much other stuff to respond to. No worries X-D Yes, you can rebuild just the landscape, what you did in those two pictures is great. ... It's the same 8x8 green brick i used in version 1.0 ;-) I'll keep the landscape i have now, want to get on to bigger projects. Got the last 4 pics replaced, will re-do the first 2 real soon. (hopefully 8-| ) I'll be more careful with vigish entries in the future :-) P Quote

Vader Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 If only i could build whilst at work, that way i could enter all contests X-D Quote
xwingyoda Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Hilarious entry Lego-Freak X-D I love the simplicity of the vig, its direct and strait to the point ;-) And those SB faces are priceless X-D *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 What i like the best is the fact that he used the black skelie as a burnt one, that's really smart *y* Quote
Sir Dillon Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Yeah, your vignette is great Lego-Freak. I love the different Sponge Bob faces. :-P Quote
xwingyoda Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Yoda did you saw mine :-D? Off course I did Aayla ;-) Its a great entry using *yoda* and a nice hommage to Texas Chainsaw Masscre BUT don't assume *yoda* is leatherface :-P Cheers and chainsaw On !! *yoda* Quote
zz-80 Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Very nice entry Lego-Freak but IMHO this should be the other way... the skellie killing that ***** Spongebob. :-D Quote
iamded Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Nice entry Lego-Freak! Nice story, with very fitting Spongebob faces! Great job! *y* :-D ~Peace Quote
Vader Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Very nice entry Lego-Freak but IMHO this should be the other way... the skellie killing that ***** Spongebob. :-D 8- Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) Thanks for your compliments, guys! It's nice to hear that you like my little vig. ;-) @zz-80: I don't think that this would be a good idea because there doesn't exist a burned Spongie- fig, so it would not be the same effect as with the burned skellie. ;-) I hope the poor skellies rest in peace (or should I say pieces?) :-D Edited November 7, 2007 by Lego-Freak Quote
