Dragonator Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) It's not that I won't represent you. Skellies and Crownies may not own dragons, but if they aren't, they're at least in top notch control with armour, saddles and sometimes chains. Dragon Knights, on the other hand, have dragons attracted to their faction. Please don't make this difficult, please don't make me say "sentient humanoid beings" . You understand what I mean, they aren't as free as I, you and probably the world would have hoped. However, the elves should have some mythological creatures next year if they come out, perhaps dragons, who have free souls.So, let me narrow it down to you. Would you prefer: -A black and red matching dragon pair, one with a rider and one free but guarding a skeleton tower? or... -A green dragon heavily armoured with a Crownie rider and some chains? Not that I don't respect the power of the dragons, but it's the truth. Your right, they're not as free as I would like, not at all! The skellies and crownies have forced these dragons into their service, which is not a good thing at all! What I'm trying to get at though is that dragons are their own faction. They do not need to be grouped with anyone else, even if they come in the sets with certain other factions. Think of it this way; trying to say that dragons and crownies are one faction or group, is the same as trying to say that the Black Falcons and the Dragon Knights are one faction or group. Get it now? So what if the elves also come with dragons; the dragons are not elves! They are separate! Very different! A faction in their own right! Oh, and as for your two options, I would prefer neither. Those dragons are enslaved, which mean they are not part of that faction. That is the same as trying to say that the imprisoned wolfpack soldier is part of the Black Knights faction because he came as their prisoner in the Black Knights Castle set. It is not true! And neither is it true that a dragon is a crownie, or a dragon is a skellie. If I were to vote crownie, I would be voting for the people, not the dragons right? So I want to vote DRAGONS! Yes those three dragons you have mentioned are enslaved, however there are hundreds of others elsewhere that are not. And you wouldn't say that they are crownies, would you? No, they are dragons. Sorry if I sound a little aggressive, but when it comes to this topic, everyone needs to see my way. EDIT: Nice avatar by the way. Edited June 1, 2008 by dragonator Quote

And though they aren't skellie or crownie, they count. Narrowing it down, crownies = humans with catapults, castles, towers, a king and one dragon... and skellies= skeletons with catapults, castles, towers, a wizard and two dragons. Sometimes, enslaved dragons have the freedom of a real dragon. I'm sure the rider in the troll warship set is very close to the dragon. The dragons in the tower and crownie castle are drawn to the wizard's magic. One of them is spiked, and not ridden. The other is scantily saddled, with merely a skeleton knight on top with a lance. The armour was made to help the dragon. They're part of the faction entirely, they were taken in- unneccesarily, but for the better. Basically, I feel that you should be happy about the fact that there even ARE dragons for once. The dragon statement only goes so far, and LEGO is out of reach. I didn't make it that Dragons weren't their own race, they did. You can help dragons, but seriously, I'd like if made a choice happy. Btw, do you have any of the modern dragons? They're pretty neat, I'm getting that green one. Quote

They're pretty neat, I'm getting that green one. Oh yes I have them all! So now you are saying I can be represented by a building? That makes no sense. A building is still a building whether it is occupied by crownies or skellies. Lego has included dragons as being grouped with certain factions. But this does not mean that they want these dragons always be on those sides etc. We just have to use a little imagination. In reality, there are not just three dragons, but hundreds, some of which are enslaved, and some of which are free. One or two of them may even be working with the crownies or skellies because they want too. This does not change the fact that they are an entirely different race. Orcs and skellies can work together, just like crownies and dwarfs can. Does this make them the same? NO. And the same goes for dragons. We just have to remember that there is always going to be more than three dragons, it is up to our imaginations. It is fine for you to group a dragon with the crownies or skellies if that is who they are fighting with, however it is wrong to say that they are not a different species or 'race'. They are intelligent beings, and can make their own decisions. Who cares what Lego says? It is for us to interpret that. My interpretation is that dragons are a separate faction and deserve to be recognised as such. Saying a dragon is a human is the same as saying a horse is a human, it is not true. I bet if horses were a bit more intelligent, they would object to being grouped with a bunch of humans too. Quote
iamded Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 That's right, I forgot to put in my vote! One vote for the Orcs. They've got amazing vehicles, I just got my first modern castle the battle wheel today, and I'm very impressed. A wonderful build, with the Orc style just radiating from it! ORCS!!!!! You know they're officially called 'Trolls', right? But I agree, Trolls ftw. ~Peace Quote
Sandy Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I'd most rather represent the elves, but since the Castle-line is still lacking them, I will choose the cute dwarves. I recently made a MOC where humans and trolls were allies, and I think the concept was quite interesting. I'm not into the whole "good versus evil"-scheme, I like to see the shades of gray (or rather, the colors of the rainbow) in everything. So why couldn't humans and troll get along in some storyline? Throw in a friendly skeleton, and you'll find yourself in a brand new setting. ;D Quote
Dwarvenlord Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I definitely represent the Dwarves! Hard working guys who don't want do be disturbed by others, like those pesky orcs! (the orcs are also cool, but just to be the evil ones ) Quote
Quarryman Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Of the currently available factions I guess I represent the Dwarves (the primary goal of going shopping on Saturday was after all to get the Dwarf Mine ). Even though I'm completely incapable of growing a beard Maybe the Elves will be the faction for me though, time will tell. However, I'd prefer to be part of some kind of mage faction, but I don't think we'll see any of those (they can't have any catapults ) Edited June 2, 2008 by Quarryman Quote
Dwarvenlord Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Yes, those catapults are good but there are too many... catapult att, dwarves mine, dm defender, skelly ship att... are there more? Quote
Sandy Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Yes, those catapults are good but there are too many... catapult att, dwarves mine, dm defender, skelly ship att... are there more? Out of the sets I have, there's been a catapult in Mine Defender, Catapult Attack, Dwarves' Mine and Skeleton Tower. From the sets I don't own, the Castle Siege has three catapults, and both ships have them too if I remember correctly. It's either a catapult or a ballista in every set, honestly. XP Quote
Dwarvenlord Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Ow right, i've forgotten those little catapults. Quote
Dovchenko Posted June 3, 2008 Author Posted June 3, 2008 Ow right, i've forgotten those little catapults. The troll battle wheel has one, too. Quote
iamded Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Yes, those catapults are good but there are too many... catapult att, dwarves mine, dm defender, skelly ship att... are there more? Honestly, what sets don't have a catapult or ballista? Let's see: Tower Raid, though that has flick-fire missiles. The Knight and The Good Wizard, but those are Impulse sets. Final Joust Skeleton Prison Carriage Dwarf Key Chain The 2 Battlepacks The 2 Chess Sets Skeleton Chariot So, that's 11/21. Well, at least over half the sets don't have catapults. Oh wait, that was completely off-topic. Sorry! Again, Trolls! ~Peace Quote
Dwarvenlord Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 I have to say that the troll wagons and other vehicles are a very nice job of TLC. I like the Tower the most. I think the Trolls/orcs would have been my favourites if there were no Dwarfs! Quote
Tom_castlefan Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 At the minute, it's Orcs. From the fantasy era sets, i have 10 (!) and 2 big green trolls. Amazing, I know... Tom Quote
Matn Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I want to collect the Dwarves, because I always have liked them. I'm gonna buy more of them and a few times the Mine Defender. I also like the orcs and trolls, so they will also be collected. And the crownies or skellies that come with the sets I buy, but I will not buy the sets for them... And Elves if they are going to be released! =) Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Crownies, simply because I have a lot of them. Quote
KAHUKA Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Huzzah dragons and dwarves all the way. they should team up and destroy the other factions in the mythical world. Quote
Lego Knight Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Gotta be the dwarves, they have awesome siege vehicles. Also they are angry and short. Quote
Shoc Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Huzzah dragons and dwarves all the way. they should team up and destroy the other factions in the mythical world. I second that! Just hope the dwarves don't mine into a dragon's cave, or there'll be trouble! :skull: Quote
Dragonator Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Huzzah dragons and dwarves all the way. they should team up and destroy the other factions in the mythical world. A nice idea, although not a likely one. Dwarfs and dragons are just to different. For millennia there has been conflict between these two races; the past cannot be easily forgotten by those with long memories. And besides, dwarfs keep stealing all the gold that rightfully belongs to dragons. Quote
Sir Dano Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) What faction from Castle do I represent? Scantily clad anime girl-potentially offensive-clicker beware. :P Can you guess? \ :-D / Edited July 5, 2008 by sir dano Quote
Matn Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Okay, sir dano, could you please let the pictures away? It's becomming a bit anoying... Not that I don't like Ecchi (have you seen He Is My Master?! ? ), but it just doesn't fit here... I've made up my mind (just got some Castle sets): I will be representing Dwarves, Orcs and Trolls, Crownies (and if they come out: Elves). But in small proportions! Quote
Sir Dano Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (have you seen He Is My Master?! ? Never heard of it, any good? Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 LOL. Lurking Perv! Now I get it. LEGO needs to release those as the Forest-WOMEN! Nice one Dano!! Quote
Dovchenko Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 Glad to see that you represent the elves in such a manner. But we must stay on topic knights! Quote
