Darkkazmo Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 All-righty, after reviewing every entry carefully by looking back and forth on most of the available pictures that were posted, actually it was a bit a difficult for me to choose only one winner here since I took inconsideration everybody's skills and guessing what parts collection they've got... But since I'm hosting other contests as well, honestly I can't reward more than winner at this time, but that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate some of the great work that has been spent on those well thought entries.. Although some did lack some of the artistic vision that I was looking for in a Mech, and some did lack some of the building techniques I was awaiting for... And some had great customs but bad quality pics. And here are the top three: - Snowleopard.> (The winner) A very well constructed mech with one of my favorite color scheme, plus Mark is one of the well known pioneers at building some of the coolest stuff around. - Mike-Psiaki. Although not totally original in concept, but the building skills of this dude is beyond many at his age or even some of the AFOLs that have bigger reputations than many around . Watch out of this kid people, he is one of the chosen ones. - Bigfatslob. This gentleman is probably one of the most innovative people that I saw at using the Bionicle parts. I never thought one day I will be actually promoting anything that has to do with Bionicle, but here as you can see, A master's work that stuns. Unbelievable craftsmanship. Congrats to the prize winner, and kudos to all participants on all your efforts. I can't say much except, keep it up and see you again in future contests. Cheers Joseph Quote
ApophisV Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Congrats to the winners, especially to Bigfatslob who impressed us all with his cool half-bionicle beasts!!! :oD Quote

Governor Mister Phes Posted June 10, 2005 Governor Posted June 10, 2005 Did ya win a prize or something? Or do you just have the honour of coming third? Quote
bigfatslob Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Did ya win a prize or something? Or do you just have the honour of coming third? Just the "honor" of third place, I wasn't aware this was a handicapping contest, I preferr straight up competition. I hope that's made clear in the future as it will be a determining factor if I bother to enter. Quote

I don't think thay means I get extra credit for having alot of parts or being older than the others do you ?.....perhaps it means quite the opposite (reminds me of a government policy here in the States called "Affirmative Action") bfs Quote

I don't think you're 3rd because Darkkazmo needed on the podium a Bionicle creation as "affirmative action" (implying that Bionicle is less Lego than System, and per se that you are a less better moc builder...leading to 3rd to give you something), I simply think that your entry clearly deserved to be on the podium because its amazing (proportion, colors, design...). I just think you are a little over reacting BFS. Continue to show the System fans that Bionicle deserve their Moc entries ;) Quote

But that doesn't mean your skills aren't as good, on the contrary, you showed the rest of us how talented you are in this medium, no question there, but this contest was mostly about using the common regular bricks, Bionicle or Technic were not the preferable choice in here, yet you came up with some great designs that I let them in. And to clarify things around, you aren't in the third or the second place here, I just said those are the top three on my list that I think they were the best in there, but I had to choose one to determine the winner. Obviously the winner entry was my favorite one out of the three. As for my comments about being a bit fair to some, that doesn't mean I'm gonna put them above the best ones, not at all, I'm just letting them know that they have tried hard, and their work is appreciated, and there is more to improve on.... BTW, if I had to choose the winner entirely on his/her building skills alone, the results could have been a bit different. And I think your comment up there wasn't really justified IMO, I thought you were a sport! So what if you didn't win, it's not like that I was looking for the best builder in here... The whole idea from these contests was about encouraging the community to get at building, and the best entry will win, as simple as that... Cheers Quote
