Last time Sinner send poor Hinckley packing...without Sinner's bucket, will Hinckley triumph and regain his lost honor? sense of pride?...will Hinckley win? Today YOU decide!

The History

Beginning of an Era

Click here to see a little more of the smackdown action.

Here were the rules:

Sinner and Hinckley will both construct MOCs using only the pieces from the following four sets:

Today

First up, here's MOC 1: The Last Defense of Outpost 7709 Against the Pirates from Strife

Quite an achievement? This MOC will be going up against:

MOC 2: The Artemis Fighter Pilot Academy

GO!

Well, instead of waiting for full moderation I though I would post the pics here too. It's way too important to wait!

MOC 1

The Last Defense of Outpost 7709 Against the Pirates from Strife

MOC 2

The Artemis Fighter Pilot Academy

I already voted and I voted for my best walrus buddy! *wub* This was a blast again, Sinner! No matter the outcome we will have to do it again! >:-)

I had to go with moc 2, it's beautiful. I especially like the fighter craft. Moc 1 is neat but i dont think it took advantage of the different themes like moc 2.

Edit by Starwars4J: Keep the voting to the MOCs only, okay? We're trying to keep whose is whose under wraps, so please refrain from guesses until after the poll is closed

We are all at least making an effort for anonymity, so it would be appreciated if you didn't even guess at it... :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

which is also why you shouldnt've said that you voted for sinner. Besides i voted for you, and this is how you repay me? X-D But in all seriousness i have a right to guess at it. I also think anonymity is unecessary, its good for psychological tests but this is a fun contest and i think the best moc wins in the end.

That doesn't give anything away as you don't know which one I voted for. And don't tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing...

I see four votes...so how is saying he voted for sinner giving anything away? And besides, it was mentioned in the first post we're looking for anonymity. Please respect that, I'm sure he would for you, if this was your smackdown.

sure thing chief. But i knew who you voted for, because I saw the first vote and so doe anyone else who may have glanced at it.

edit: Yes im very sorry, but it seemed obvious whos was whos and theoretically my opinion can't affect the anonymity. I would just like to think that the distinguished members of our board dont have petty biases that are so strong as to affect the results, which is what is being suggested by the use of anonymity. I certainly dont have them.

I didn't post until after there were votes for both, I'm not an idiot. My advice to you: drop it and move on...

I voted for Hinckley because his is better..... and because if he doesn't win this one he has to win 3 times in a row to pull ahead! 8-

Voted Moc 1, hard choice, they are both so great! *wub*

I think that Moc 1 did take advantage of the themes by making two factions, but I love that futuristis pirate design, and the base doesn't stand a chance!

Moc 2 is excellent aswell, but I see a bit too much Town House and AquaRaiders in it, and not enough Castle or Exo-Force elements.

Welldone to both of you, MOCing Legends! *y* They are both worthy MOCs, and I forsee a very close result!

I think I know who's is whom's, but won't reveal for anonymity sake! :-)

I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

No you didn't. There were no posts from anyone prior to both of us voting.

im very sorry everyone, but it seemed obvious whos was whos and theoretically my opinion can't affect the anonymity.

I did see the first vote but said nothing at the time sinner

But there was no way of knowing who made the vote; it could have been SW4J...

They're both great entries, but in the end I voted for MOC 2. It has a cleaner feeling, and a nice combination of colours. I'm loving the building, and the ship's brilliant too *wub* As I said before, MOC 1 was great too, and uses some nice techniques, but I can only vote for one :-$

ok you got a point I'll give you that. :-$ Can i expect a scolding?

Actually it was me :-P Hinckley was working at the time I posted this...

Whichever one of us you voted against forgives you. :-$

And I don't care what happens here, I'm still not going to watch Singin' in the Rain! :-P

Only if you want it! :-P

WHAT!?!?! X-O X-O

You HAVE to watch Singin' in the Rain, its a classic!

I say shame on you sir! :-P X-D

Well, anyway, goodluck to both contestants, and remember, that both of you are winners. However, in a more accurate way, Barney is the winner! (have to be a Simpson fan to get that one ;-) )

I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Speak for youself... or are you? :-P

And I don't care what happens here, I'm still not going to watch Singin' in the Rain! :-P

Looks like I'll have to visit you myself next year and force feed you. It's for your own good! :'-)

:'-( I don't even know anymore. That's how solid our anonymity is. I have forgotten whose is really whose.

Okay. I have never eaten a movie before. It must be a Tasmanian thing. I will keep an open mind. Sound like fun. When can I expect you? I will get the spare room ready. *sweet*

I have forgotten whose is really whose.

I made the winning one! Just remember that; forget the number and the MOC, just remember "Sinner's are Winners". I even have the clock to prove it!

:-P I'll get back to you.

Come on guys, save the discussion on who made which MOC for later! The contestants chose to remain anonymous to ensure people vote unbiased. Even if you know who made what, please respect their wishes and don't go spoil it for the rest of us.

Personally, I don't have a clue who made which MOC, and quite frankly I don't care either. I cast my vote based purely on which entry I liked best. Though both entries are fantastic creations, the second is definitely my favorite both in terms of overall design and use of colors (I especially liked the fighter, but the building is neat too).

Great effort guys! *y*

But my cock says Sinners are Wieners. Which one do we believe?
